' THE DINNER. : r Last evening about eighty gentlemen ~,'aajfc down to a very excellent dinner, pro vided by Mr . Quill, at tho Commercial , Hotels Mr E. S. Coster, president of the Association, occupied the chair, and was - supported by. Mr. Ivess, M.H. R., and Mr George*Jameson, secretary, the vice-chair/ being occupied by Mr C. Percy Cox, vice president, and Mr T. Bullock, J.P.. After ample justice had been done to the Very recherche spread, which include 1 all the delicacies of the season, the toast of “ The Queen,’’ “ Prince and Princess of * ! Wales,” and “ The Acting-Governor,” were heartily drunk. Mr 0. W. .Purnell proposed “The General Assembly of New Zealand,” coupled with the names of Mr E.;6. Wright, member for Ashburton, and Mr Joseph Ivess, member for Wakanui. He regretted the unavoidable absence of ‘Mr '■’Wwight, who had always taken a Very active part in matters connected with agricultural pursuits. The toast was len thusiastically drimk. Mr Ivess said that, owing to thein ■ creased system of franchise they now en joyed would cause a greater public inte rest to be taken in reference to the wdrk iog of the Assembly, especially when so many'* millions of money were being spent on public works. He was not, however, going to go into matters of debate, such as a toast of this kind was likely to eli citate. He regretted that Mr Wright was not present, as he felt sure that it would have given him great pleasure to respond to the toast. He thought that the present members of the Assembly were likely, to prove of great service to the ’ colony, »s they bad the best interests of the people at heart. (Hear, hear.) f ; Song: Mr A. Harrison—“ The Village ' Blacksmith.”

Mr 0. P. Cox proposed “The County Council,” coupled with the names; of ' Messrs Bullock and Julian Jackson. He bad very great pleasiire in giving the, toast, as the Council, although for tunate in getting a large sum of money at their disposal, in their’ 1 ehvly ' days of existence, had ezpend«d t it’very wisely and most economically in. the extensive nature of the works, includ ing water-races and bridges which had (J been carried but by the Council. Thp, County was indeed fortunate in obtaining: • a Council composed of such thorough business men. (Hear, hear.) Mr Bullock responded, fie said that • the Council had endeavored to spend their money as judiciously as they possibly, could. As a.matter of fact 600 miles of water-races bad been made in the differ ent parts of the County. Not only bad the races been made on the plains without

. raising any loan, but the Borough had . been endowed wHh an excellent water aupply at a email cost. He thought that , every farmer should plant parts of his : paddocks with more trees, and this would be found of great benefit. He hoped that the 200 per cent, of the land fund would be returned to the County, as the funds of the Council were no w at a very low ebb. He referred to. the Bangitata road bridge ‘ which,wopld shortly bo completed, and would he found to be of gnat service dor driving cattle and stock from the south. Song, Mr Brown—“ The Milking Pail." Mr, Bullock proposed “The Borough ‘Council of Ashburton.” He was spre that this body had the best interests of the Borough at heart, and the money trey had hyd at their* disposal was expended with care. He alluded to the fact! of other Boroughs having been rated for four times as much as the rates of the Ashbur ton burgesses now paid. Ho would couple the toast with the names of Crs Harrison, Friedlander, Nelson, and His Worship the Mayor. The latter, he was sorry to see,

was not present. 1 Messrs Harrison, Friedlander, and Ifel gon.duly. responded to the toast. Mr jR. , Bird ‘also , responded on being called , upon. Song, Mr A. Harrison—“ Simon the , Cellarer.” Mr p. W. Purnell proposed “The ' President, Mr E. S. Coster, and theVlce ' ’President, 1 Mr, C. P. Cox.” , Both tlfese ■/- deeply interested in agri , cultural phwuita, rand more particularly ' - they had done a great deal for the A. and P. Association. He was greatly pleased, with that day’s Show, which was a most ■ ' ’creditable orie, particularly with regard to - the locally-made exhibits, which excelled ' ;i tK , of older places than Ashburton I .’’ : Ho might throw out a suggestion, and , . ‘ that was lhat he thought the Hortiiul ' 1 iurdlSociety should he induced to hold a on the same day and the T < ''‘'game ground as the Show was held. p3h - , had yery. much pleasure in proposing

“The A. and P. Association, coupLd with the names of Messrs Crater and Cox. ” The toast was heartily drunk. Mr Coster said he was very pleased with the way in which his name had been coupled with the toast. He regretted that he could not attend so many meet ings of the Association as he ought, owing to the distance he lived from town. The Show of that day was the best that had yet been held. The entries were larger than last year, and whilst other districts in Canterbury had shown a falling-off in the’- entries for theit respective shows, Ashburton had shown an opposite result. The gate money, also, represented ATT in crease in the attendance of more, than 300 persons over last year, and this was a better result than other districts had chronicled. He considered that ih a few years a scheme of irrigation would be in itiated for the benefit of in ad dition to their present water supply . He briefly alluded to the County Council, and the work they had done foil the benefit of the County. Mr Cox said the members of the Asso ciation had worked hard to make the Show a success. They wanted more farmers to 1 take an interest in the Show, and' if such were the case, he felt sure that every year their Show would be more successful. He thanked them for coupling his name with the toast. Mr Wilkinson said that the mercantile interests’of Ashburton were in such good fignds that they were Bound to succeed." to the: benefits which-would, result from the Woollen and the Cheese and Butter Factories which had lately been instituted in the town and district of Ashburton. He would couple the names of Messrs Revans and Cox with the toast.

Mr Cox said that the mercantile inter ests were inseparably bound up with farming matters, and the splendid exhibi tions of implements which were witnessed at to-day’s Show was sufficient to convince anyone of the very great strides that were "made in labor-saving machinery, now brought within the reach of every farmer through the channels of English and American mercantile houses. He would allude to the very great benefit which wpuld. result from the making, of the West Coast railway, which, when completed, would bring the products of each side to a ready market. Mr Revans alluded to the very large figures which the commerce of New Zea- Jand iad, lately shown, aftd- its financial ■pdfjiiibn was of the best description. Mr John Carter proposed “The Judges,” coupled with the names of Messrs John Rennie, of Doyleston, and M. Stitt, of Winchmore. Mr Rennie said it gave him great plea sure in responding to the toast. A. judge’s 'duty Was rather a difficult one/ arid he was glad to hear that their decisions had given great satisfaction, He was glad to 'see that Ashburton was in such a prosper ous condition. Mr Stitt said the Show of to-day was in many respects superior to that of Christ church. The hacks were far superior to those of the. Christchurch Show., * 'Song : Mr Lane—“ The Men of Merry England.” Mr W. H. Zouch proposed “The Suc cessful Competitors,” coupled with the names of Messrs R. Saddler, Smith, and Donald Cameron.

Mr S. Smith responded, and said that he represented Mr Marcroft, who, he was glad to find, was a successful exhibitor at the Show of to-day. The Rev. E. A. Scott proposed “The i'Hhsufcoessful Competitors;”- Song : Mr Jackson—“ Wild Irishman.” Mr J. C. Bell proposed -the “Learned professions,” coupled with the names of Mr Parnell and the’ Rev. A. E. Scott. Both gentlemen responded. Mr Ivess proposed “ The Agricultural and Pastoral interests,” coupled with the names of Messrs Andrew Dawson and J. Carter. .MrCarter responded. He .was sorry Mr Dawson was not present. He was glad to see that their Show had been so great a success at this year’s Show. This was due to the energy of a certain gentle man. He thanked them for the toast.

Mr R. Friedlanderproposed the “Local industries,” coupled with the name of Mr Pilhrow. The samples which were ex hibited' at that day’s Show, viz., the chbese, were sufficient to convince them that their latest industry would be a great addition to the welfare of the County. The Woollen Factory was also an established fact, and the machinery would be out from England shortly. The gentleman whose name he had coupled with the toast was a most energetic advocate of local indus tries, and he (Mr Friedlander) had known him for the last fifteen years. Mr Pilbrow responded. He was glad to see the great strides the district of Ash burton had made in the last few years, in comparison with Temuka. He referred to the great damage that had been done to ; Ruining owing to so many crops of wheat straw being taken from ( the land, year after year. He himself had applied through Mr Wakefield, then district mem ;bet,, £or a bonus for linseedoil, and he be lieved he was the first to encourage the growth of linseed. ■ His own district had been very backward in the' matter. In the? .North Island there were two mills already manufacturing oil. ' ' The President, in a most eulogistic Speech, proposed “ The Secretary, Mr Jameson. ” . The toast was drunk very heartily. Mr Jameson responded, and said he had. great pleasure in working with the members of the Committee.

The toasts of “The Press,” “The Ladies,” and “The Host,” brought a very pleasant evening to a close.
