BLENHEIM.
This day.
The Marlborough Agricultural Show, held yesterday, was the most successful one for years. The exhibits were excellent and numerous. At the dinner in the evening, the Lyttelton Times correspondent, who responded to the toast of the Visitors, described the recent visit paid by him to the Picton coalfields, describing their extent, so far as discovered, and predicting a grand result from their discovery. He said since visiting the field, he had met Mr Blair, the engineer in charge of the Middle Island, and directed his attention to the samples brought to Blenheim, and that Mr Blair expressed the highest opinion of it.
Lionel Brown, journalist, died this morning.
