WHANGAREI FARMERS' CLUB.

ANNUAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW

The annual Show in connection with the above Club was held in Kensington Park, Whangarei, on Wednesday last. The weather throughout the day was most stormy, heavy squalls of rain falling at short intervals. The entrances, on the whole, were as numerous as could be ex pected, but were not nearly so plentiful as at previous Shows. This was doubtless owing to the severe winter and unsettled spring from which we are now recovering. The horses shown were few, but of good quality. Subjoined is the complete list of prizes and exhibits :—
