TARANAKI AUTUMN SHOW.

SPLENDID ENTRIES. The Taranaki Agricultural Society ha? received splendid entries for its annual show, which takes place at the racecourse, New Plymouth, on Wednesday and Thursday, March 1 and 2, and there are no doubt many more in the maib to-day, so that there is every prospect of an excellent show with largely increased membership. A much greater interest is being taken in the show by farmers throughout the district, with the result that in addition to the usual exhibitors from Taranaki and other districts, there will be many from local exhibitors. In connection with the fat sheep classes, Mr. F. Iloskiivs trophy (value £5 ss), and which is given as n points prize, was inadvertently omitted from the schedule, but it will nevertheless be open for competition, and will be included in the catalogue, Mr. M. Linn has donated two special prizes 0 [ 10s Cd each, one for the best boy rider and one for the best girl rider in the three saddle pony classes, and Mr. C. Topliss (of Wailiij offers a special of £."> 5s as a points prize in the registered Shorthorn classes. The general arrangements for the fixture are in a forward state, and all that is required now to ensure a successful show is fine weather, so that town and country people alike can attend in large numbers.
