Agricultural Affairs in Canterbury.

[BY TELEGRAPH. — OWN" CORRESPONDENT.]

CmusTCUUßcn, this day. The Managing Committee of the Agricat turai and Pastoral Association aro working vigorously preparing the new Show ground at Addington. Mr Burnett, of the Ruilway Department, is giving assistance in air.mging a siding on the ground so that etock may ba handled as safely and expeditiously as possible. The old pro-, duce shed, for which a purchaser could not! bo found, ia being re-erected ia enlarged form, together with secretary's offices, ladies' room, shelter sheds, etc. Consider able expenditure has been found necessary in making the details of this new ground as perfect as possible. The new ground will bo reached by train and rail even more easily than the old. The subject of opening our ports for the importation of stock has been brought up and adjourned till the arujua) general meeting. Mr John Grigg,a large breeder and exhibitor, holds that the finest possible strains are already in the colony, that no danger from in-breeding can bo apprehended for a long time to come, and that it would ba altogether impolitic to remove tho restrictions. Another Btrong reason urged by Mr Grigg ia tho low prices all round, and the " talk about protection and free trade." Says Grigg, " this is the very case in which a protective policy is most badly wanted."
