ALL Nations Fair.

As was to be expected from the efforts made and curiosity aroused, the opening of the fair drew a large crowd. The local Brass Bond played several selections to the waiting throng outside the hall; so that when the doors were thrown open the spacious build* ing was speedily crowded. On entering the hall, the visitor looked down an avenue of trees to ihe Btage, the drop curtain of whioh was down, (a promise of coming events). -Around tha footlights, floral decorations were fcewtelully arranged, «lao a .miniature staok of w heat with birds perched on the the thatch! In front of the stage the refreshment table was placed, beautifully arranged with snowy cloths, d'oyleys, glass ware, plants, etc, and under the charge of Mrs Davis, Misses Tucker, Phillips, and Hardley. the waitresses, in becoming caps, euffs, collars, and aprons, just completed the picture. On the right hand side of the hall, from the front entrance, were placed the Scotch, Welsh, and Irish stalls, each show ing care and artistic skill in construction, decoration, and arrangement. To the left appeared the English stall, in all the glory of the national flags, and the foreign stall, a combined one representing Greece, Itally, Switzerland, and Spain. 'Ihe latter stall was of course profusely decorated in all the bright colors of the picturesque nations named, the effect being decidedly pleasing. In the corner next the foreign stall, the English market stall* was erected, needless to say with the stallholder dressed to represent the market woman. This stall attracted a lot of attention and did good business. Along the front wall, the pictures entered for the competition, and also a number for exhibition only were staged. The number and excellence of the pictures reflect great credit on the art talent of the town, and were generally admired. A two headed lamb,-' and a shooting gallery, were also features of a show that has evidently been well thought out, and ably arranged. " Here are the stalls, but, where are all the stallholders?" said the visitors. This was ■oon explained. Punctually to time, Rev J. Olphert appeared in front of the curtain, and apologised for the absence of Mr Maslin, M.H.R., for Rangitata, who, through the short notice given, and an important bnsinesi engagement, was uuable to be present, but had done the next best thing by sending a donation of £1. Mr Olphert then briefly opened the fair. Then the curtain < rose, and revealed the fairies, Highland Udß and lassies, Welsh women and girls. SwißS, Spanish, Greek and Italian maidens ; several of whom sang verses in the language of the country represented ; and then all filed off the at age, and moved amongst the crowd, paining the sale of their wares.. During the evening solos were rendered with great acceptance by Misses E. 'Barratt and Harding, and Mr Kerael ; also some capital part songs by the choir, led by Mr J. Jones. For to-night, fresh novelties are arranged. Outside, the Salvation Army Band will play ; inside, the electric battery will shock all who touch it ; fishing may be procured in a stream in which the fish will bite; and action songs, solos, and recitations will be rendered. The.result of the painting in oils competition will also be made public, but we may say that it hat transpired that two pictures have tied for first plaoe. To-morrow an excellent luncheon will be ready at noon, and the fair is to be open free during the day. Exhibits for the cake and scone competition are to be at the hall by 10 a.m. to-morrow;

HIGHBANK SALE.

Between 400 and 500 farmers, dealers, and others, aaaembled yesterday at Highbank, many ofwhom came to inspect theland as well as to attend the clearing sale. Every parti of the Ashburton county was represented by well known faces, and a number from north of Rakaia also put in an appearance. Luncheon was provided in a wool shed about 15 feet by 25 feet, hardly large enough to accommodate the huogry crowd, who had in moat cases driven from ten to thirty miles. The result was that luncheon was a scramble to enable buyers to satisfy the inner cravings by one o'olook. Punctually at the appointed hour, conditions of sale I were read by Mr Calcutt, of the Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, and Mr Rudolph Friedlander commenced proceed ings. Sundries and farm implements were first dealt with, and occupied all yesterday in getting through, the auctioneers selling ultimately by half-hour spells. Prices appeared to be very satisfactory, nothing being passed, home prices were — Drays and frames, £2 10s to £9 10a ; tip drays, up to £7 ss; whare, £13; Cambridge rollers, £3 10s to £10 ; ploughs, three-furrow, Reid and Gray, to £9; 2 double.furrowa, £2j disc harrows, £8 to £10 ; five-leaf harrows, £2 10a to £3; nine-leaf harrows, £9. Horse?, pigs, eto , were to be sold to-day. The hoi sea are a splendid collection, and there is likely to be keen competition.

The Cycle Industry.

The following table of the value of exports to Australasia of cycles, parts, and accessories will prove interesting, not only to those in the trade but aleo to others who watch the rapid growth of cycling in the colonies : — 1895. 1894. Victoria .. ..£78,200 £37,278 New Zealand ... 24,241 16,197 New South Wales 21,107 12,084 South Australia.. 13,933 8,910 West Australia . . 13,443 1,815 Queensland ... 8,303 4,053 Tasmania.. .. 2,493 1,349 It must be remembered that a large quantity of cycle material, chiefly tyres, is now coming to this colony through Victoria. But for this fact the value of the imports of the first two colonies would be closer.

Prevention ve Better Than Cure THE few caeeß of Tyj hoid in Abhbniton Bcrongh and Suburbs afford no gronnd for a " sciro/* !ut it is only by using reasonable precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to in the public journal, it msy le of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the "Nint.twnth Ontnry" of lsst year, in which special reference is made to Diphtlfria, Iw winch apples with equnl force to Typhoid.
