THE HAWERA SHOW.

The amount of dry weather experienced on the East Coast will not effect the farmers on the West Coast, Taranaki especially having abundance of feed. The fat stock classes are always of special merit at the Egmont Shows, and this year i the standard should be well maintained. The fat cattle classes contain steers from 2-year olds, 3, 4, and over 4 years, in addition to a pen of three yearling steers, any breed, for a prize of £3 3s. In the fat sheep classes there is a varied list of competition, for which a challenge silver cup is offered, to be won twice in succession, or three times at intervals. For freezers there is a class of five lambs, (long or short wool) for.which the first prize is £7 7s. Always an important feature of the show are the dairy produce classes. Though a summer show, the Egmont Society cater for good classes.
