BUSH DISTRICTS A. AND P. ASSOCIATION.

ANNUAL SHOW.

(By Our Special Reporter.) The nineteenth annual show of [1 the Bush Districts Agricultural and Pastoral Association, which was held i on the Woodville racecourse yester- - day, was a pronounced success. The * weather was all that could be desired for sucii a function, and the at--1 tendance, although not so large as v - was expected, was very good. The secretary (Mr Thos. R. Husband) t who has been elected since the last 7 annual show, and his assistants 1 (Messrs Eggleston and Lindauer) I carried out their arduous duties to t perfection, leaving no stone unturn--3 ed, thus practically assuring a suc- . cessful gathering. The stock exhibited, although not very numerous, i was of splendid quality, .particularly " the "J which. class Mr E. S. [. Holdaway'exhibited the champion 'l bull, and Mr S. R. Lancaster ! the [ champion cow. The judges . were 3 very pleased with th& quality of the . exhibits in this section., ; The sheep ! classes were also of good quality, ' being well up to the standard. Romneys were perhaps the strongest. Mr A. G. Pilmer and Mr Jas. Macara, of . Masterton, who' judged the horses, - , stated that they were the best , lot. II they had seen, in the district. The. jumping was very good, the ladies' hunting competition being the best. On the whole the show was a very creditable one, and the officials are to be congratulated on the success that attended tueir efforts. Following is the PRIZE LIST. . . HORSES. . A.
