A PROSPEROUS SEASOX. Received IS. 0.30 p.m. Sydney. March ]7. The weather is perfect for the opening of the show, which promises to prove an unusually brililant success. The cattle sections have been somewhat affected bv the drought, and Clydesdales have suffered from the paucity of New Zealand entries, which have been a feature in past years.
