DANNEVIRKE SHOW.
RECORD ENTRIES. CHAMPIONSHIP AWARDS. DANNEVIRKE, February 9. Starting in all the brilliance of summer, judging day of tho Dannevirke A and P. Association’s annual Show, concluded with a thunderstorm, lasting nearly an hour and accompanied by a tropical deluge which drove all to shelter.
