Egmont A. and P. Association,

On Monday next, the 24th inst., entries close for the Egmont A. and P. Association's show, which takes place on the 3rd and 4th November. It is anticipated that this year's show will eclipse ail previous records. The Society has now a firsfc*class show ground, with every convenience for the display of exhibits, and Hawera being the centre of such a large and flourishing rural population the bene fits to be derived from such an exhi bition should be mutual and profitable. The farmers and others interested in agricultural pursuits have the advan tage of seeing the latest improvements and inventions in implements, &c, which are likely to be useful and bene ficial to them ; whilst to the manu facturer it is a splendid opportunity to have his goods seen, examined, and commented on by such a large gathering. Again, it has its educa tional advantages for the stock raisers, as they have the chance of seeing the best strains of blood and are enabled to obtain information on breeding so as to attain as near as possible a like result. The general public, who may not have any direct interest in the ex hibits, are provided for in the shape of various forms of amusement, all of which tend fco make the show a most enjoyable outing.
