The Chairman, m opening ihe proceed ings, welcomed the delegates, and said it was a source of satisfaction that Govern ment had assisted the Conference by granting free passes to the delegates. Mr Ritchie would represent Government at the Conference. The. Chairman regretted the absence of Sir John Hall, who took a great interest m matters pertaining to agriculture. He then spoke at length on the advantages to be gained by the Con ference, which would prove of bene fit to every person m the colony. fie referred to the various matters to be discussed, and hoped no ques tion of a political character would be introduced. While altogether excluding politics, their hands were m no way lied m making demands on the Government of the iay for general and better develop ment of the agricultural and pastoral in terests of the colony, or even asking for a fully equipped Agricultural Department. The Chairman concluded by explaining the order of business. The first question discussed vas the show dates, as they effect judges and ex hibitors.
