TIMARU AGRICULTURAL AND PASTORAL ASSOCIATION'S SHOW.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)

TIMAKU October 26.
The Timaru Agricultural and Pastoral Society's show was opened to-day, but very little was doDe beyond judging the various classes of sheep. The cattle, horses, and other classes will be judged to-morrow. The show of implements on the ground to-day was very good, and compares favourably with that of last year. As the association do not give prizes for implements most of them have only been entered for exhibition, whilst the others compete for special prizes given by supporters of the association. To-morrow is the people's day, and as the weather at the time of my writing this gives promise of continuing fine, a very large attendance is expected. All the arrangements are excel lent, and the show should prove quite as successful as those of former years have been.
