WELLINGTON SHOW

[per press association.]

Wellington, November 16. The weather for the Show was wet in the forenoon but cleared in the afternoon, and remained fine, though threatening. The attendance was confined to exhibitors and judpeb, only a few of the general public being present, although a large number ol visitors were in town. One feature of the Show is the excellent quality of catll«y and almost all parts of the colony are represented. Upwards * of two hundred and forty pens of sheep were exhibited from Canterbury, Marl borough, Hawke's Bay, Wairarapa, and West Coast flocks. In horses, the average quality is higher than last year. Of dairy produce, there is a good display, and. a goodly array of implements. In lincolns, Mr John Raynor's ewe secured the championship, and Mr W. Wilson's ram the like honor. In English Leicesters and Border Leicester*, there is scarcely any competition. Mr A. Mathews secured the championship in Romney rams, »nd Mr A. McKenzie championship in Shropshire Downs. In Hampshire Downs, Mr Raynor's imported ram was considered worthy of the championship, but there being no competition the award was not made. In draught horses, Mr Hercosk took champion prize for his entire Hero. Wellington, November 17. There is beautiful weather to-day for the show, and large crowds are proceed ing to the grounds.

'IVR JPIvBSa ASSOCIATION.

London, November 15. The evasive replies which are made as to the new Queensland loan created a suspicion that it ia intend to invite tenders at early date unless the y^es^ern, Australiaii loan injures the tjrqapept. 'pje packing an,d (juaility of the Austral's butter is superior ib the first shipment. It realised 91s. The Fire Brigades Union is arrang ing to hold a National Fire Brigades Congress in the Agricultural Hall during Whit-Sunday week. The colonies will be invited to send re presentatives. The authorities of the Imperial Institute regret the absence of exhibits from West and South Australia. Other colonies are showing, except New Zealand, whose contribution is not yet paid. Sir J. Pender and the Agents- General had an interview with Lords Kipon and Kimberley on the subject of the demand of fifty centimes per word on cable messages by India. They represented that when the Indian Government agreed to a transit rate of thirty-five centimes, it was on the condition that rates were reduced td Penang; Singaporr, Java, China, ' It was contemplated the rate io Australia would be five shillings per word, and therefore the present Wight increase was made to avoid loss

to the Australian contributories and would not justify India in imposing a fifty centimes rate. It would be un fair to place the colonies at a dis advantage with eastern countries, where rates were proportionately lower. In answer to the objection that the increased Australian tariff would reduce reoeipts, the deputation argued that the addition of 9d it was proposed to charge would not be likely to influence traffic, and would certainly, be,, onjj temporary, The attitude iaken up by India might risk the success of the experiment now being made of a cheaper tariff to Australia. Lord Kimberley said he regarded the arguments as extremely forcible, and they would be properly represented to the Indian Government. He hoped a reply would be received in time to enable the new tariff to begin in January. The Agents-General are pleased with the result of the inter view.

This match was played yesterday in th.9 Domain, and resulted in a win for the Club by an innings and nine runs—the Club making 62 in their single innigs, and the School 18 and 35 in their two innings. Only E. Andrews for. the School gob into double figures, scoring 13 in the second innings; and for the ACC, E. Price put together a brilliantly played for 22, and Mitchell a solid 13. Sawle, bowlirg for the Club, got seven wickets to his name \in the iirsb innings, two clean bowled, and Johnston two, one clean bowled. In the second innings Black and Cuthbertson were the trundlers, the former taking six wickets, five clean bowled, and Cuthbertson three, two clean bowled. Several of the School players whose cricket wasjdepended upon, were absent, and this accounts for the ■ some what one-sidedness of the match.

Mr Cleveland Ross, has so far recovered from his accident as to be able to come to town to-day. He thanks those who cared for him after the smash. The Post-master-General thinks that New South Wales will be compelled to subsidise the San Francisco service in view of start ing a line of steamers from Vancouver to Au» tralia. , At Addington yards on Wednesday a fine well-grown lamb having an extra pair of feet on its hind legs was sold for £7 ss.
