The Show Entries

!Ehe entries for the forthcoming Show of tlie Ashburton Agrionltaral and Pastoral ABSooiftfcioD, which are now complete, are gwen below. It will be seen that the total number is in exoesei ot last year's by 46, the otiief increase being in the sheep ch^es. There is a falling off in horses, however, »nd in cattle and implements, but on ths whole the result must be considered very satisfactory, acd we have bo doubt that when exhibitors come to fully recognise the advantages of the two days' Show, there will be a large isereare in tbe numbers. It will be batter wotth their while to prepare stock for the two days, than for a few houra only, as ia the past:

(Received October 28, 9 am) London, October 27

A column scouring the south and west of Kustenbnrg collected 200 Boers In a fortnight.

Scheepers, who has been removed to Beanfort west, la convalescent

A British gun accidentally exploded near Harrismith, aod two men were killed and one wounded.

Sic Alfred Milner, visiting Maritz barg, received an enthusiastic recep tion. He counselled patience, and said it was important to feel the assurance that every step taken was a move in the right direction.

There is a consensus of opinion that Beatson grievicualy forgot himself in referring to the Victorian Fifth Con tingent after the Williamsrosfc reverse. It is considered that as the Victorians were volunteer*, they diet not deserve either the death sentences or the com moted penalties, detention would have been sufficient.

The pro-Boers have raiard a cry that the financiers support Lord Roberts for saving the Rand, and hate General Bailer for abandoning the mines to their fate. At the public meeting at Exeter, called by the Mayor to express confidence in General Bailer, the epeakeri included Mr George Lambert. m radical commoner.

Obituary—Graham Brace, principal of King's; College, Remuera, aged 38;™ Henry T Kemp, son of the missionary. He was born in New Zealand in 1818, and was a civil Servant from 1844 till 65, He was also e> veteran gumdigger.

Illness of Dr Hunter.

Perhaps nothing ol local Interesb has created such a profound impression in Aeh burton as the report which got about yesterday tsfaab Dr Hunter had been takon «eri<™iy ill, and that more than ooa doctor bad to be QiHod in. We have seldom seen each general anxiety manifested aa has been ejehibited today since the report we have referred fco unfortunately beoame confirmed. Dc Hunter is so universally esteemed that the news oame aa & shock to the whole town, for although so many people probably have bo thaak him that they are etill alive, it has beets forgot^m that he is* like the reat of «a, liable to the ills that trouble humanity. Etty medical brethreu, inclucling Dr l^ox, fcom (3brißtchurch, haVa the case in hand, and all teat oan be done for Di Hunter will certainly ba done! We understand that an operation W&s performed early this morning, but the remit o&traot be known jusb yet. Meantime it ii safe to say that everybody in Ashburton anrnistly hopes for Dr Hunter's spaedy i-eatcration to hoalth.
