AUCKLAND AGRICULTURAL AND PASTORAL ASSOCIA TION.

The annual meeting of the above was held at the Association office at 2.30 yes terday afternoon, Mr J. Bainbridge in the chair. The annual report stated that the annual show in No vember last had not been a success in point of attendance, owing to the rain on the second day. The financial position of the Society caused the Commit tee much anxiety, and it was for the mem bers to decide whether another effort should be made or the Society wound up. The annual balance-sheet was read, and the statement of accounts was as follows : —Debtor : To' University trustees, £3.112 lQs; creditors, £1(50 9s lOd; bank, £50; Balance (31st March, 1886), £957 4s; loss to 31st March, ISB7, L 192 8s ; total, L 764 19s 8d ; total, L 4.088 lls 2d.

In answer Mr Phillips said.there was about two-thirds' of the amount of subscription paid in. There was about £12 to come in. Subsequent discussion elucidated tbe fact that the society was £320 in 'debt; also that thoannualsubscription did not pay the charge of interest. The report was. adopted. After spine.discussion as to whether the Society should be wound up or not, Mr Percival, secretary suggested, as a measure that would increase the funds of the Association that the annual show should be held in March, when stock, cereals and produce would be ex hibited far more largely, and when the weather would be much more certain. The proposal seemed to meet with pretty general approval. Mr Dilwoitli further suggested that the Government should be to establish an Agricultural Institute for. the instruction of farmers. Mr Bainbridge and Mr Wallace said the feeling amongst the country farmers was that there was too much of tho town element in the management. Mr Percival's suggestion regarding the holding of the show in March was then adopted. The present oflicers were re elected ; Messrs J. S. Buckland, Tuttie and Massie being added to the Committee. The election of a Secretary for the ensuing year was then proceeded with, Mr Percival re tiring from the room. After a lengthy dis cussion Mr Esam was elected Secretary for the time being, and the meeting separ ated.
