(Per Press Association.)SYDNEY, November 2,

A sensational development has oc-curred inconnection vrith the Sandfordfire. A labourer named Charles Libaek,employed in the colliery, has beenarrested for maliciously setting fire tothe mine. He was confronted by wit-nesses who alleged that he told themhe was in the colliery shortly beforethe fire. Libaek deniedit and said hewas drunk a-bed all the night of theoutbreak.

The charge against Crick was con-tinued to-day. Crick occupied thegreater part of the day in an exhaustivecross-examination of Peter Close, inreference to the land transactions overwhich the alleged division of the com-mission took place, and Crick'sborrow-ing transactions from Close's firm.Crick indicated that his object was toshow that his treatment of land ex-changes was departmentally correct andin the interests of the public. Closeadmitted that it was so. Mr Pilcher,for the Crown, pointed out that thegravaman of the chargewasnotwhetherCrick administered the departmentproperly or improperly, but whether heas a Minister received a gratuity.

The Policy of theOpposition

(Por Press Association)PUKEKOHE, November 2.. Mr Massey spoke at Iukekohe' to-night. A memorial containing 1900

signatures was presented, absolving himfrom the necessity of addressing all buta few places as a testimony of confi-dence. A presentation was also madeby the Pukekohe Cricket Club.of a pipe.Mr Massey reviewed thei:past session,outlining the ..policy of the Opposition,embracing an increase of eOßtrolby Parliament of the finances; the:restoration of the powers of theAuditor-General; the repeal of thePublic Revenue Act; the placing of thewhole of the Government Departmentsunder the Audit Department; electiveLegislative Council; Public ServiceBoard; and the opportunity of acquiringthe freehold cf all classes of Crownland.

Mr Grey, the Liberal and Labourorganiser, was present and asked a num-ber .of questions, as did also . others,amidst a perfect storm of cheers andhoots.

A vote of thanks and confidencewasproposed. An amendment of thanksonly and confidence m the Governmentwas proposed, but declared notseconded,and the motion declared carried by thechairman amidst uproar, in which themeetingbroke up.

Ashburton Show.(Per Press Association.)

ASHBURTON, Nov. 2.There was beautiful weather for thePeople'sDay of the show until late inthe afternoon, when showers fell, butdidnot interfere with the programme.The attendance, although-not a record,was much larger than last year, about7000 being on the grounds. One ofthe principalfeatures was theparade ofthe 370 horses. It was generally con-ceded by experts that, for the size ofthe entry and quality, the horses inthe draught section could not liematched in the colony. The principalprize-takers in lmnters were ElworthyBros, and L. Malet, horse jumping B.H. Bissett, ponies C. Eoberts, A. An-,drews, E. J. Dansey, and H. EBlundel.

General Election.In the courseof a recent speech Mr

C. L. Eussell, a candidate fora Canter-bury seat, said: " When the presentGovernment camo into power with itshuge majority, it was heralded with allsorts of flourishing announcements. Ithad accomplished threerecords—world'srecords. It had the longest term ofoffice, it had been the biggest borrower,and the most reckless spendthrift NewZealandhad ever seen. Members of theGovernmentshould be obliged to weara badge with three 'B's,' signifyingbluff, bombast and bunkum "—a descrip.tion of our rulers that convulsed theaudience.

The Earl and the GirlsThe Earl of Aberdeen gave a birthday

tea-partyon the terrace of thej Housesof Parliament to four Scottish fisher-girls and a hoary-headed fisherman.These lasses mend fishingnets and knitlong sea stockings at the Earl's CourtExhilitiqn. They came from Peter-head Aberdeenshire.

Lord Aberdeen was fifty-eight lastweek, and it was his idea toinvite thesegirls to taketeawithhim on theterrace inhonourof theoccasion. Theyputon theirbestprint blouses and blue serge skirts,and thepicturesque effect (according tothe Chronicle) was heightened by eachwearing a bunch of flowers,mostlygeraniums. They went to St.Stephen's at five o'clock, and were metby their host. Lord Aberdeen shookhands with the party all round, and,as one of the girls said afterwards,told them that it was " verra nice " tohave them there. The Lords werediscussing the Aliens Bill when theypeeped into the gilded chamber. Oneof the most outspoken of the girlsconfessed that she " didna ken whatthey were speakin' aboot." But she" thocht it was a fine hoose."

The tea on the terrace was the mostenjoyable feature. When Lord Aber-deen sat down with them and askedthem to guess his age they all felt"quite at home." This task was notaltogether an easy one, for his lordshiphas the reputation of being the youngest-looking man for his years in the Houseof Lords, and he must have felt flatteredwhenone of the girls ret him down asforty.

While the party were at tea LordAberdeen introduced his guests to theEarl of Denbigh, and later he wasphotographed with them.

THE FREEHOLD.A stkikixg feature of the administra-tion of the present Government hasbeen their persistent refusal to grantCrown tenants the freehold. Aidedbyorganisations in the large centres whoare continually raising the cry ot townversus country, the Governmenthavehitherto felt safe in legislating purelyin the interests of the leaseholdparty,butpersistent agitation on behalf ofthefreehold has at last brought about achange offront by the Ministry. Promone end of the colony to the other thefreeholders have been steadily gainingin strength, and it was patent to Mr

[ Seddon last session that a decision intheir favour by Parliamentwould comeat no distant date. To gain time hecommitted the country to the enormous!expenditureof £10,000in securing theappointment of a Land Commission,which has proved one of the costliestfarces thathas been perpetrated in thepolitical history of New Zealand.Their report was duly presented anddaring the late session the sorry spec-tacle was witnessed of. the Premierstanding up ia the House and askingthe Opposition to assist his supportersto frame a "policy for him! Whilethis was undoubtedly a tribute to tkeability of tie Opposition, it was alamentable admiss on of weakness on '

fiepart of the.Government'ol the day>moreparlieularly when, its -leader hadonly a short time previously told thecountry that so far as the "leasehold■was concerned his back' was. to thedoor, and he intended to' stand firm.

But events have proved that, MrSeddon is the greatest opportunist thathas handledNewZealandpolitics.Whenthe land question was under" consider-ation -in the House recently a resolu-tion was proposed in the direction ofgiving Crown tenants the right toacquire the leasehold. Being unableon' that occasion to fairly accuratelyforecast the result of the division,MrSeddon voted, as usual, with the lease-holders,but, much to his astonishment,the leasehold party won by a majorityof two votes only.

And then Mr Seddon performed oneofthe finest acrobatic feats, politicallyspeaking, that has been witnessed inthe House. During consideration ofthe Land for Settlements ExtensionBill the freehold question was againraised by its supporters, and Mr Sed-don, on this occasion, was among thosewho assisted to carry a motion in.itsfavour,leaving his faithful leaseholdfollowers in a mostunenviableposition.

During the interval between the twodivisions the Premier was sufficientlyastute to recognise that the refusal toconcede the freehold had created anunpleasantfeeling in the country, andin the effort to win support in the farm-ing districts he deserted his ownparty.But freeholders are well aware that thePremier is not in sympathy with them,and thatif it suits his purpose he willagain take up the cause of the lease-holders.

The freeholders have the satisfactionofknowing that they have forcel MrSeddon's hand thissession, andto main-tain their positionthey can.be dependedupon to use their utmost endeavours tosecure thereturn to Parliament of can-didates in sympathy with them. Thefreehold, is one of the main planks ofthe Farmers' Union, and farming com-munities will, no doubt, give their un-divided support to candidates in favorof this form of tenure.

(Per Press Association.)ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 2.

An Imperial ukase directs that allappointment oE high officials in Russia«xccptmilitary, naval and diplomatic,shall be subject to the approval of aCouncil of Ministers.

Gendarmes repeatedly charged anddisperseddemonstrators on the NevskyProspect, St. Petersburg, woundingmany. The city was quiet atmidnight.

A message from Warsaw prior to theprevious cable states that great dis-order prevails. The crowds demandedthe release of political prisoners. TheCbieE of Police liberated 300 arrestedrccentlj-, but refused to release 12arrested by order of the Central Gov-ernment.

The crowd began to smash the win-dows and doors of the Town Hall. Hus-sars changedkilling 20, severely wound-ing 23, and slightly wounding 50.

The Jews of Odessa are defendirigthemselves with bombs, one of whichkilled 15 and wounded 40.

The Naval staff here state that theBlack Sea Squadron has reached Trebi-zond all well. .

In'another encounter at Warsaw theinfantry killed four and wounded 30.The demonstrators in procession of at.least one hundred thousand, marchedthe Warsaw streets with reds flags, sing-ingrevolutionary songs. The troops didnot interfere.

An infantry patrol was attacked.Three were wounded and the rest fled.A numberof soldiers threw clown then-arms and joined the crowd.

The authorities have been ordered toabrogate the martial law. A generalamnesty is execcted.

TheFinnish Senators before resign-ing to make way for others possessingthe people's confidence, appealedto theCzar to repeal the dictatorship andsummon a diet to redress military ser-vice and other grievances.

A general political strike has beganat Finland. No newspapers are beingpublished and Finland telegraphic andtelephonic services have been stopped.

The crowd disarmed the gendarmesat Hemitonia and ordered them toleave.

Terrible excesses are occurring atOdessa. Huge gangs of hooligans ledby disguised police officers, attacked theJews. Desperatefighting ensued. It isestimated that 300 casualties occurred.Many soldiers refused to fire on thepeople and fired on the Cossacks instead,killing and wounding many. The Cos-sacks firedindiscriminately. The crowdtried to storm the prison and releasepolitical prisoners. Ths soldiers firedand dispersed the crowd.

LONDON, Nov. 2.The Standard's correspondent, tele-

graphing at midnight, estimates thecasualties at 5000. He says GeneralKaulbars appears to have lost his headand that the mob is on the verge ofanarchy and bent on wholesale plunder.

PARIS, Nov. 2.The French newspapers state that

GeneralTrepofF, Dictator of St. Peters-burg, has resigned.

Police and Cossacks let Loose.Streets Tamed into a Shambles.

Received Nov. 3, at 7.45 a.m.)LONDON, November 2.

Reuters correspondent at Kazan re-ports that apparently on'tho nights ofOctober 28th and 29th, the Cossacks andpolice were let loose and permitted tokill and plunder at will. They pillagedmany shops and fired indiscriminatelywherever they saw a light in a window.Peaceable pedestrians were iihofc downand one street was. converted into ashambles. Pools of blood dyed the snowopposite ecclesiastical buildings.

The population was wild with rage.The municipality protested to theGovernor,who stated that the chiefofpolice had resigned. ~.

He confined the Cossacks to theirbarracks, and authorised the civicmilitia to preserve order. He also re-leased the political prisoners.

The crowd removed the arms of thepolice from their headquarters for theuse of the town militia.

A Grave Situation.

(Received Nov.3, at 11.59p.m.)ST. PETERSBURG, IS ov. 2,

Itis officially explained that the ex-pression in the Czar's manifesto withregard to freedom of speech was meantto include the freedom of the press.

While the situation is improving atSt. Petersburg and Moscow, it remainsextremely grave in Poland and SouthernRussia, where there is little incliuationto regard-the Czar's concessions asgenuine.

The quantity to be ap-plied to diseases in animals is of coursegreater than should be applied tohuman beings. In its operation, uponthe flesh of the lower animals it isquite as active as upon human flesh,itonly being necessary that a largerquantity be used in order that the fleshtissues be reached and ramified. Thepotency of the Solution is such that,immediately on its application to anyaffected part, it lays siege to the dis-order, whatever it may be, and by dintof regular application it is certain toovercomeit. There being no poisonousor injurious substances in SolomonSolution it can be used upon the frailestchild as well as upon the most robustman.

Twentieth Grand Annual Show.

People's Day.

Despite the heavy rain that fell lastnight, and the altogether unpromisingstate of the weather, the morning brokefine, and there was, when we went topress, every indication that "People'sDay" would be fine. Country peoplewere evidently of that opinion, for thefirst train to arrive was crowded withvisitors, all dressed in holiday attire, anda constant stream of them were by 9.30a.m. wending their way to the groundsboth from.town and the station direct.Subsequent trains were also well filled,and by the time the local contingent isin full force it is estimated last year'sfigures will be eclipsed.

So far the monetary results fromthe attendance are better than lastyear. On the first day, which peo lestill, somehow, regard as a judg-ing day only, the receipts were £'536s Gd from the gates and stand. Thetakings yesterday amounted to £M217s 6d. A sum of £265 was taken atthe gates, £38 7s fid at thegrand stand,and £21 9s at the 2s stand. The sumtaken at the gates is £60better thanlast year, and at the stands £11 inexcess ofthe last show.

The utmost animation prevailedon thegrounds, the vast concourse findingplenty of amusement and interest in theside shows and in the departmentsof theshow. Special attention was given tothe Rcscommon sheep, the recent im-portations from the Emerald Isle byMessrs 3no. Davis and J. M. Johnston.All day long there were crowds aroundthe sheep, attracted notonly by the sizeof the animals but also by the admirablequality of their wool.

The young farmers' judging compe-tition in draught horses, Shorthornbulls andßomncy sheep attracted nineentries inall. The youths got throughtheir duties yesterday but final resultswere not available to-day, the judgesofthe separateclasses having to pass judg-ment on the work of the contestants.

SPECIAL AWARDS.Mr F. A. Brtmer, Normanby, wonthe points prize of £25 in the draught

Messrs Baldwin and Rayward'sspecial prize of £5 5s to the patentee ofthe most meritorious invention relatingto implements or machinery used foragricultural purposes, was awarded toBarraud and Abraham,asagents. Thepatent was an improvement relating toplough wheels.

The Establishment of theAssociation.The following particulars with regard

to the formation of the ManawatuA.and P. Association were handed to usby Mr 11. Edwards:—Theactual com-mencement of the present A. and P.Association took place on October 1,1878. In the month of September ofihat year notices were !;ent by letter toall the leading farmers along the westcoast between Wellington and Wan-ganui of a meeting to be heldfor thepurpose of forming an agriculturalassociation, representative of the wholeot the west coast. The meeting washeld and fairly well attended byresi-dents of the Manawatu and Rangitikeidistricts. My memory is not too clearas to who were present, but Irememberthose present included Mr JohnStevens,the late Mr McKelvie andothers from Rangitikei, MrJohn Davisof Wirokino (present last night atthe smoke concert), Mr J. Carter,of Moutoa, the Jate Mr A. J.Whyte, of Foxton, the late Mr H.McNeil, Falmerston N., the late E. S.Thynne, Foxton, the late Mr J. T. Dal-rymple, then of Te Matai, but latterlyRangitikei, and, I think, Messrs Gowerand Kebbell. There were of coursemany others, but I cannot rememberthe names. The association wasdulyformedand named the "ManawatuAgricultural Association." Subsequentmeetings were held, at one of whichPalmerston North was decided upon asthe site for the Show grounds, beingconsidered the most suitable for allconcerned owing to its most centralposition. The Government were ap-plied to for a grantof land in Palmer-ston North for the Show ground, andultimately part of the present site wasallotted for the purpose. I may saythat I had the honour to be a memberof the first Committee which, I think,numbered eleven. I fix the exactdateby my member's ticket, whichreads asfollows:—Manawatu Agricultural As-sociation—Members Annual Ticket £1Is—October Ist, 1878.Imay say that I had the pleasure of

sitting beside one of the first membersat the smoke concert last night, MrJohn Davis, J.P., when the President(Mr M. Cohen) read to the meetingmymopiber's ticket dated October Ist,187S. The name ofthe Associationwassubsequently alter to what it now is" Manawatu and West Coast Agricul-tural and Pastoral Association."

(Continued on pages G and 7.)

Smoke Concert.The annual smoke concert held by

Ithe Association in connection with theSpring Show took place at the FireBrigade Hall last night. There was alarge attendance. The President ofthe Association,MrM.Cohen,presided,and. was supported by the Premier andMr W. T. Wood, M.H.R. The gather-ing was oneof t('e most enjoyable yetheld by the Association. Thetoast listwas lengthy, but proposers and respon-ders wers limitedto five minutes. ThePremier retired shortly after 10.30 p.m.

The President gave the healthof theSociety's guest, the Right Hon. thePremier. He brieflly welcomed thehon. gentleman, nccording him theSociety's best thanks for comingamong them. He remarked upon thelength of time the" Premier had heldthat position and said that, regardlessof politics, any man who had so longserved his country deserved well ofthat country. One thing must beascribed to him ; that was that hisname had been inscribed worthily andwell on the undying record of Empirebuilding. Mr Cohen concluded witha reference to Mr Seddon's recentillness. He was gratified to learnfrom Mr Seddon that he was prac-tically out of the doctor's hands.

Responding to the toast of his healththe Premier,referring to thePresident'sremarks, said he was pleased to be pre-sent with so many men who had donetheir best to promote the interests ofthe country. There were those presentwho had devotedand were still devot-ing a great deal of their time andattention to the improvement of thecolony, more especially the farmingand pastoral industries. He never feltmore at home than when he was withthem. Taking the country as it stoodto-day and looking back we would, hethought, admit that things were prettycheerful taken as a whole. The Presi-dent had referred to the fact that hehad been a long time in office; it hadnot been his fault (laughter), he hadnot objected and time had rolled on,and, said the Premier, " here we are."The President had also referred to hisdeeds being recorded in the history ofthe colony. He, however,would muchprefer to hear what was said about himsaid while he could hear it, rather thanon the scroll of fame when he had gonebelow. '(Laughter). Continuing, hesaid thatall knew the colony was pros-perous and felt that the outlook wascheering, and as long as dairy producekept up in price, wool kept itsprice andalso the staple products of the colonykept up, there was "not much to fear.The great thing to do in all things wasto have perfection, to get into themarkets of the world, not to haveall their eggs in one basket, but to dotheir best to keep pace with ail im-provements taking place in other partsof the world. New Zealand had abright feature before it. As Premierhe had great responsibility placed uponhim, everyoneknew it wasan easythingto be Premier and to improve upon thepresent Premier (laughter), but if he hadpersonal recognition, if they felthe wastho jolly good fellow they had just saidhe was, hewould ask fornothing else andwould valueit more than anything else.It would encourage him in his workbetter than anything. Furtherreferringto the President's remarks asto the workdone in Empire building, the Premierexpressed the opinion that until the re-cent warRussia had been a menace toNew ZealandandAustralia. The treatywith Japanso far as the colonie3 wereconcerned was a protection and her fleetformed part, practically, so far as thecolonies was concerned, of a combinedAustralia and British fleet. Referencewas made to the fact that the distance be-tween the Old Country and New Zealandwould be reduced by fully 4000 miles bythe completionofthe Panama Canal. Itwould bring America very muuch closerto us, and though she was a friendlynation the Premier pointed out that shesent out all she could, commercially, buttook nothing in return. It broughtAmerica closer to us, and there was thedangerto the colony and Australia. Ifanything done to promote tradewith the Old Country, which was neces-sary to our salvation, and for our owngood, was any part of Empire building,and somelittle credit could be given forit—it was a work of love, and he wassatisfied. Alluding to the advancementof the Province of Wellington, lie saidthe people had left their cradles full.There had been an increase of fully60,000 in the population since he hadbeen a Minister of the Crown. (Laugh-ter). He did not take credit for it.(Renewed laughter). Trade had in-creased by £4,000,000; tadngland incultivation it amounted to 1,3000,000acres, which he thought a very goodrecord for thirteen years. In the sameperiod there had been an increase of20,000 in horses, in cattle 230,000, insheep 524,000; the valueof land bad in-creased by 16,000,000, while tho unim-proved value T.had increased by fully£8,000,000. He claimed no credit for it,and asked none but as one of them-selves, as a good citizen of New Zea-land, he was proud to notice the greatimprovement and increase, and he wassure they would join with him inhoping for a continuance. There wasa great future before this country; thepopulation of the colony had increasedduring the last thirteen years by fully14,000,but, the Premier said, thatwhenit was remembered that the colony inarea was equal to the Old Countrytheywould admit there was plenty of rconifor thousands more. Their presentendeavourswere only to lay a founda-tion upon which to build up a greatedifice. The Premier said it was hisgreat desire to keep in touch with thepeople of the colony, as close as he pos-sibly could and for only one purpose,the advancement of New Zealand(Hear! hear!) The longexperience hehad was placed at their disposalandhe hoped it would ever be used for thegood of the people (Hear! hear! andapplause).

The Premier proposed the toast ofthe Manawatu and West Coast A. andP. Association, coupled with the nameof the President. He said he under-stood this was the twentieth show ofthe Association. If there was anyonepresent who had attended the "firstshow, he did not think that in then-highest flights of fancy they hadrealised what that show would havegrown to in the space of twenty years.The magnificent show they had seenthat day did credit to the Manawatuand the colony. He did not wish tocause heartburnings but thought hecould say without fear of contradictionthat this show was thefirst in theNorthIsland. He referred to the rivalrybetween this Association and the Can-terbury, and to the general rivalrythese shows engendered which wouldresult in improvement. Mr Seddoncompared the present show favourablywith its predecessors, and the horse

classes with the Royal Dublin Show.One result of these shows was to helpin production at the lowest cost andgrca'est perfection which alone mustgive Jour produce the'opportunity ofcompeting successfully in the marketsof the world. He hoped the Associa-tion could look forward to as greatameasure of success as they had ex-perienced in the past.

The President, in the course of hisreply, said the holders of the office ofPresident had.really nothing to do butfollow in the footsteps of their prede-cessors, to whom miuch of the credit ofpresent success was due. He dis-claimed any desire on the part of thisAssociation to rival the CanterburyAssociation. The feeling betweenthem was rather one of emulation.Referencehad been made to the factthat this was the twentieth birthday ofthe Association, but its beginning wasshrouded in mystery, for a member-ship card had been handed to him thatnight by Mr R. Edwards Ishowingthat the. Society had been in existencein 1878, twenty-seven years ago. Hereferred to the shows held under theauspices of tke Association by thePoultry Association and Kennel Club.

The toast of "Breeders and Exhibi-tors " was proposed by Mr W. T.Wood, M.H.R., who referred to theprominentpart they tookin the exportsof the colony and also in the improve-ment of stock through thnir efforts, par-ticularly in importing stock. He re-ferred with regret to the fact thatone ofthe most prominent in the district hadleft off breeding those Ayrshire cattlefor which he was so well known.Messrs S. W. Luxford,D. Buick, Perry(Wairarapa), and Davies (Levin) re-plied to the toast.

Mr R. S. Abrahamproposed the toastof the Department of Agriculture, andin doing so paid a high tribute toGovernment for the institution of theDepartment, which -had beeu a creditto the Government and country alike,as also were the staff, Professor Kirkand Mr Gilruth. He alluded to the-very greatservice the Department haddone for the export trade in so far asit related to the products coming undertheir jurisdiction. He did not claimthatit was infallible,but said businesswas conducted on right lines.' Eulo-gistic reference was made to the actionof the Department in importing pure-bred stock to the colony which wouldin time exerta verybeneficial influenceupon the stock of the colony.

Replying to the toast Mr J. R.Ritchie, Secretaryfor Agriculture, saidhis department had occasionally to"tread on the corns" of some of thefarmers, but he trusted they wouldalways bear in mind that whatever wasdonewasfor their own good. ProfessorKirk, Government Biologist, alsoreplied.

Other toastsproposed were asfollows:" The Manawatu Kennel Club." pro-posed by Mr Gilruth andacknowledgedby Messrs F. E. Watson andDurwarcl;" The Poultry Association," proposedby Mr J. M. Johnston and acknow-ledged by Mr J. Jarvis;" The Judges,"proposed by Mr J. G. Harkness and re-plied to by MrJ. Chadwick; " KindredSocieties and Visitors," proposed byMajor Dunk, and coupled with thenames of Messrs Walters(Auckland),McCallum (Blenheim), Gray (Master-ton), Donald (Carterton) and Barker(Gisborne).

Songs were sung by Messrs A. E.Bennett, J. Bett, C. Bennett and J. A.Sidford. Mr Miniiie played a piccolosolo and Mr Sidford the accompani-ments.

Wanganui AgriculturalShow.

The necessary work ofmaking accom-modation for the show entries on theWanganui Agricultural. Association'ssbow grounds on the racecourse are nowin full swing. Year by year it is foundnecessary to enlarge the space allottedfor the many and varied classes, and atthe present time this is very much inevidence, although to some extent re-tarded by the recent heavy and con-tinuous rainfall. Judgingby the numberof entries coming to hand by everypost,the catalogue will be a bulky volume,exercisingconsiderable timeand troublein compilation, but obviated to a verylarge extent by the forwarding day byday of these entries.

Saturday, 4ih November, at 9 p.m., isthe last opportunity for sending inentry forms. Everything possible hasbeen dono and is still being done tofacilitate the work, and all that is re-quired is for intending exhibitors tomake assurance doubly sure by postingto or handing to the secretary therequired forms.

Of course, as is now widely known,the show takes place on the 15th and16th November, and visitors will bepleased to hear, that the matter ofarranging for "special trains is beingcarried outby the president and secre-tary. In view of the large numberexpected, it will also be of inrerest tolearn that there will be excellent accom-modation at the hotels and boarding-houses, but to prevent disappointmentand possible inconvenience it would_beas well when remembering the closingof entries (4th November) to also bookthe accommodation required.

Farming News.The ability to utilise food and con-

vert it profitably into milk and butteris a quality of cows that varies withindividuals. Among both ordinary dairycows and cows of pure breeds the varia-tion in this respect is quite remarkable,as illustrated to a marked degreein the study of the herd ownedby the Connecticut Agricultural College,that was made during the year 1893.According to this study the cow withthe best record produced during theyear 5091b of butter, at a profit of42*82d01;while during the same t'methe cow with the poorest record pro-duced 1721bofbutterata loss of4<09d01.The variations in the amount of butterand milk produced by individual cowsin this herd are not exceptional. Therecords ofjstation herds and ofhundredsof private herds, where individualrecordshavebeen kept, show variationsfully as great as these.

Itis plainly evident that the successin dairying depends very much uponthe productive capacity of the indivi-dual cows that make up the herd. Avery practicable way ts improve theherd and increase the average produc-tive capacity is to dispense with all

'cows ■which thescales andBabpock testtogetherprove to be unprofitable. . Itwould be pretty safe to assert thattwenty cows selected in this way fortheir high and economical productivecapacity would be more profitable thantwenty-five, and possibly even thirtycows selected in the--ordinary randommethod of muting up a herd.

A Thrilling Train Ride." The Flying Virginian " has had a.

narrow escape frovn disaster. It is oneof the express trainsover the Chesapeakeand Ohio route between New York andthe South, and its course is a veryrough one. The train was filled withholiday makers, and while the driverwas leaning outfrom thecab to examinea part of the running gear of the engine,his head came in contact with a post,and was crushed in. At the time .thetrain was travellingat top speed.

Shortly after the accident the firemannoticed the locomotiverocking and shak-ing viciously, says the New York corre-spondent of the Daily Telegraph, andknowing the train to be inadvance of ifcatime, could not understand the reasonfor the excessive speed. But the en-gineer was reputed to be one of the mostcareful and skilful men on theline, sothe fireman paid no special attentionuntil several danger signals had beenpassed, when he called out, "For God'ssake, Jack, slow down.11-

Receiving no answer, and the fullspeed being still maintained,the fire-man immediately left his work on thetender,and springing into the enginecab, saw the engineer dead, with hiscrushed head hanging out of thewindow. The fireman grasped the airbrake_ lever and the engine throttle^bringing the locomotive to a stop justbefore a network of switches and sidetracks near Philadelphia was reached.Neither the passengers nor the guard ofthe train knew anything of the dangortheyhad run until arrival at German-town Junction, where a new driver wasscoured.

Thedebtor, proprietor of hotels in suburbsand in London, attributed his misfor-tune to "the wave of temperance" thathadpassed over England. His liabili-ties amounted to £177,886,of whichonly £1000 were unsecured. He addedthat the slump in the liquor traffic hadbeen continuous since the Boer war.

Manawatu A. andP. ShowTHE HORSES.

The show of horses was on the wholea fine oue. There was a very good ex-hibition in the thoroughbred stallionclass, Conqueror, by Medallion, beingawarded the championship. This horsewould take a lot of beating in any showring in the colony. The St. Leperbor*e, Handsome Jack, was placed-«econd, and though he is now getting upin years he is, like the winning horse,of good colour " and conformation;though rather too low to the ground,and not of so fine appearance, he is yetof goodsubstance withplenty of quality.Patronus (by Patron), who filled thirdplace, is a recent importation fromAustralia where lie was racing lastseason, tilling fourth position in theMelbourne Cup. He will furnish outinto a horse of taking proportion infame. He should be a decidedacquisition to the district. Non-ette, who has been in training morerecently, is a gentlemanly type ofthoroughbred. In some of the other■classes of thoroughbreds, the exhibitswere hardly tip to stud book require-ments in appearance, and in others theexhibits were not properly entered.The two-year-olds (fillies) included twoor three likely ones who should dis-tinguish themselveson the turf. Thewinner had more substance than theothers. In the hackney stallion classhorses are usually found of more bloodlike quality, though the firstand secondhorses showed good action and styleand should improve the quality oflighthorses of the district. Some fine horseswere shown in the heavy weight-carry-ung hacks. Mr Sunderland's Juggler,a.well-known horse in this district and■on the other s:de of the Range, stood"out well from therest ofthe class. He■wouldhold his own in any show ring intheworld. MrRiddiford, who formerly"owned this horse, showed a greyvrith very good pace and action. He■was placed second, being closely runby a "Wanganui horse, Eeo ownedby Mr Crawley. In point of conforma-tion the latter was very good, but liedidnot move so freely as those placedbefore him. The three other-placedhorses would have been better placedin a class in which the weightswere not«o high. In the 13-stone classes an"old favourite,Miss Reynold's King"Jimmy, was probably awarded firstplace more on account of Ms excellentcarriage, though an allowance was nodoubt made for his age. The elevcn-stone hacks were a very even lot, a bigclass coming into the ring. The blackhorse Mahomet stood out prominently,and was awarded first honours. Four-teen horses came forward in theladies' hack class. ?iliss Reynold'sKing Jimmy and Miss Sunderland'sMahomet wereplaced firstand second.Tkev are two very promising horses.The judge had no less than eight in thering forhis final selection in this class.The judge(Mr J. Chadwick) expressedthe opinion that, taken as a whole, avery high class o£ horses was shown inhis sections, the heavy weight carriers■especially being veryfine.

The show of draught horses was aremarkably goodone both as regardsnumber'andquality, both detailsbeingveryfavourably commented upon. Theaged stallions class produced an excep-tionally good lot of animals, all withthe exception of those owned outsidethe town. Premier honors rested withMr H. McDonald's southern bredhorse Lord Elderslie, while anotherCanterbury bred horse, Mrs H. .N.Watson's Blair Gowrie was -placedsecond. The Government was repre-sented by an imported horse, SirTal-bot, who was out for exhibition only.He was of a very good stamp andshould prove very beneficial to breeders.!With ono exception, that for threeyear olds, the oolts' classes filled welland keen competition was experienced.The fillies were also good classes. Inthe draught horses classes entries were■very liberal, the local exhibitors, Garn-xnon and Co.,supplying a large number"of winners throughout several classes.A feature of tho general display was the"excellent condition of tho horses, whichwas undoubtedly of the best. Owing tothe larger entries and the close contestsin several classes judging in this depart-. inent was not concluded when the ovalwas required for the competitions andthe finalclasses had to bo judged outsidethe ring. They were not completed till& late hour in the afternoon.

CATTLE.The show of cattle this year13,on tho■whole, even better than that of la?tyear. The Shorthorns, as usual, headedthecatalogue. The class on the whole

was an excellent one and fit forexhibi-tion anywhere. The judge, Mr W.McKenzie, ofMasterton, had acongenialtask, for he had to differentiate between

■some fine classes of well shown and well-conditioned animals. Similar remarkshold good in regard to tho Herefords,which madea geod showing in the judg-ing ring. There were not Jarge entriesin the Polled Angus andAyrshire classes,but the stock shown was well up tostandard and for the most part wellshown. Ono of the strongest sec-tions was the pretty little Jer«eys, of which there was quite anumerous representation. The Hol-stein Eresian classes also filled well,but there was not the competition in<the dairying classes which is naturallylookedfor in the show centre of a dis-trict like the Manawatu. Some veryfine fat cattle were penned. In Short-horns chief honours were dividedbetween the Mt. Herbert Estate(which appropriated bo!,h champion-ships) and Archdeacon Williams, who,between them, carried off the bulk ofthe prizes. In Herefords,Jas. Stuckey's■bull and cow secured the champion-ships, and other successful exhibitors.were E. Short (Waituna), StuekeyBros., C. and J. Levett, I). P. Bu-chanan, G. Wheeler ana G. M.Carrie. W. J. Birch (bull) andNelson Bros, (cow) showed the cham-pionships in. the Polled Angusand, with executors of the late J. T.Dalrymple, monopolised the prizes inAyrshire?. Championships fell to SlackBros, (bull) and J.Kyle (cow), who alsoappropiatedthe majorityof otherprizeg."JAMcCreawasresponsible for the Jersey"champions, the other principal priza-■takers being A. Buchanan, S. R. Lan-"caster and Paul Hunter. F. Moore<Kai Iwi) showed champion fat bullock;an3 also carried off three other prizes.. McHardy Bros, were nest most success-ful in exhibits of fat stock:.

SHEEP.The oiitstandingfeature of the latest

.improvements effectedby the Associa-tion on its ground is the large pavilion"erected for the sheep section. Sheepbreeders are delighted with this for-warcl step, and it marks anew departurein the colony for an Association to pro-vide a roof to cover sheep. The

pavilion.which has attracted so muchattention, is about 100ft long and 40ftin breadth, with a glass and sheet-ironroof, supported,on stout wooden pillars,the whole structure beirnr built to last.Under the pavilion the pens appear asusual. The Lincolns and Southdownshave been given the first experience ofshowing under the pavilion. In con-versation with a prominent Lincolnbreeder this morning, beneath theshelter of the pavilion, a representativeoE this paper was requested by thebreeder to makea note of sheep breed-ers' appreciation of the Association'senterprise. " Yousee/ said thespeaker,"we can now do our Lincolns justice.With the coverof a pavilion their longwool will appear at their best on judg-ing day. The result for the Associationwill be thatbreeders will be encouragedto send their best to the show. Wehope other Associations will copy theexcellent example of the ManawatuAssociation and trust that the latterbody will shortly have pavilionaccom-modation for .every class of sheep."As already intimated in oar columns,this latter suggestion is included in thepolicy of theAssociationfor the comingyear.

Roinney Marsh sheep were of numer-ous entry and the rams were a particu-larly fine lot of animals, probably thebest ever shown in Palmerston. Therewas nothing special about the dry ewes ;but of the 18-month ewes the judge(MrAlfred Matthews, of the Lower Valley,"Wairarapa, who was assisted by hisson) grew enthusiastic, declaring themto bo the finest he had ever seen, andMr Matthews has seen just a fewRornneys in bis time. He added thatsheep generally were shown in such acondition of body and wool as to indi-cate that the Manawatu and WestCoa3t had had a fairly good winter.And here again Mr Matthews wasaccurate inhis interpretation.

Keen rivalry still exists between ad-mirers and breeders of Lincoln andRomney Marsh sheep. These are thetwo standard breeds throughout theNorth Island, and if the seeker afterknowledge should happenupon abreederof Lincolns and enter into conversationon the subject that breeder will declarewith emphasis that the reason why thereare 170 Romneys entered for the presentshow, as against 76 Lincolns, is becausethe Romney Marsh "is fashionable."Well, the Romney has been fashionablefor three years, and islikely to keep wellin front of popularity because of itshardiness and the success of the crossingwith Lincolns. At thepresent time bothLincolns and Romneys sell well, and atpractically level terms. "But," toquote the Lincoln breeder again, " theLincoln is coming back to the firstposition as to the most popular sheep.Why? Because crossbred wool is somuch in demand. And there is a reflpxof this in the display of Lincoln3At today's show, in that the qualityof the animals shown has never beensurpassed here. How is that ? Becausebreeders have send in their very bestanimals to show visitors what the Wai-rarapa, the Mana^yafcu) and the WestCoast can produce in Lincolns." Thesecomments agreed with the opinions ofother experts. And the judge (Mr J. B.Sutton, of Thornbury) found the Lincolnclasses of so even a grade that it took amuch'lengthier period than usual topick out the winners.

Of the English Leicesters, Mr H TLittle, of Canterbury (the iudg'e) de-clared the sheep to be a good lot allthrough. All the placed animals wereexceptionally good, and the championshad particular merit.' A noticeablething about the sheep which passedthrough his hands to-day was that somewere shown with care and others verycarelessly.

DOGS.Tkc show of dogs, under theauspicesof the Manawatu Kennel Club,was

pronounced by the judge (Mr S. John-son) to be a very good one indeed, tliebenching being quite up to the Homestandard and the dogs on the wholewere of good quality. The bestclasseswere the setters, spaniels, smooth foxterriers, greyhounds and several goodIrish terriers. Tlie St. Bernards wereonly fair specimens of the class with,the exception o£ the winning bitch,which was a very good dog. Only onedeerhound, a very nice animal, wasshown by Mrs W Hooper. In grey-hounds two very promising puppieswere shown by the Rev Lacroix. lanovice greyhounds T A S Watsonscored with a grand hound, a littlelight m hock. In the open class MrsGleeson'sBlack King won the judge'sverdict as one of the best dogs inthe co'.ony, while H. Tebbe's BlackQueen was also well spoken of. J. F.Adams' Semaphoreproved the best dogamong the pointers, and was describedby the judge as " a good shower, andtullof sfcj'le." The English setters werea grand lot, and were topped by SolerBros.' (Wanganui) entry WanganuiHanger, a dog which the judge declaredwould "go well in England." Thechampion was run up by J. A. Lissing-ton's Bogo, another nice quality do<*In bitches, the open championship fell|to C. Beeves' Belton Lady,%eing runcloseby same owner's Brownie, whichthe judge'said would have won, hadshe not " stood bad in front." TheIrish setters were not a class to callfor special mention, except for the factthat T. H. James(Wanganui) exhibited

~Zsk of tlie lot' a really nice bitch.Ihe Gordon setters were a weak classnumerically, but fairly strong inquality. The Cocker Spaniels wereperhaps the best lot in the show.The " open dog" class was a verystrong one and some good dogs wereshown. The winner turned up in T.H. Hughes' Rapanui Jim. Openbitches wereanother goodclass, headedby Miss Doughty's Raven, a grandanimal, full ofquality. Field Spanielswere just a moderate lot. Only the Istand 2nd prize winners were genuineiields, the others, in the opinion oftlie judge,being" overgrowncoachers."Iho Collies were what the judge de-scribed as " a miserable lob,with not agood clog among them, except in thebearded classes." The FoxTerrierswerea very good company, A B. Mansoncoming out top with a very promis-ing puppy named Melbourne Jack,with which he ran the winner in theopen class (Miss Hindmarsh's Kano)very close. As a wire-haired FoxTerrier, E. Webster's Chingford Nip.per was said by the judge to be thebest ofhis kind in the colony. Therewere onlya couple of really gooddogsamong the Scotch Terriers—Mr A. E.Stewart'sHeatherßukie andMiss JessieHunter's Rob Roy. In the Irish Ter-riers the first in the puppies, first ivopen bitches, and first in open dogswere described as"three grand terriers,the right type to stick to." A. H.Frost (puppy) and Il.H.Sheppard(dogand bitch) were the exhibitors. MissE, A. Kceling's Dondona(an Airedale)was regarded_ by the judge as one of

the best dogs in the show. The bull-dogs (both dogs and bitches) were wellspoken of by the judge,F.E. Watson's"Donor being described as " full ofqual-ity, and of the best possible breeding."The .same exhibitors also showed agrand pair of bitches. There wasnothing sensational in the pug sections.

Bleaching-Properties- of Blue.Blue is used in the laundry for bleaching purposes—to make whiteclothes whiter. Without blueing the clothes would become yellow. -The value of blue in.the laundry depends upon its bleaching j! properties, and the bleachingproperties depend upon purity. All blues !are not pure. * ;

j Laundry blue is madeup ofultramarine, in combination withglucose, Ior some other substances, to bind the particles into a nob. It is the Iultramarine that is of value, and the quantity of good ultramarine 1determinesits purity.

"Royal Blue," or "Empire Blue," IRoyal Blue, or "Empire Blue" as it is more familiarly called, Icontains morebleaching properties than any other blue on the market, \because it contains more good ultramarine. ' |Royal Blue is used in the laundry attached to the Wellington |Hospital and in many of the principal laundries in the colony, because of |

its Efficiency and Economy. I.. 2 j

In the year 1848 the late Elliott Cresrson, Esq., placed in tho hands of theTrustees ofthe Franklin Institutea suffi-cient sum of money to provide a goldmedal for Inventions of Great Original-ity and Merit. One thousand five hun-dred and fifty-five (1555) examinationsand reports had been made by theCommittee on Science and the Arts, butonly twenty-eight of that large numberhad been awarded the Elliott CressonGold Medal—the HammondTypewriterbeing the twenty-eighth so honoured;the only typewriter in the world to everreceive this distinction.

THE AWARD—Celerity and cer-tainty of operation, perfect:on of align-ment, and great durability in servfeeare meritorious features which theHammond machine possesses in aneminent degree, and the sub-committeecommend it as the best typewritingmachine that has come to their know-ledge. In conclusion, the committee be-lieve that theinventionof theimpressionand feeding mechanism, and especiallyof the unique principleof letterselection,as well as the perfection attained in theconstruction of this " instrument are de-serving of the highest award in the giftof the Insiitute, and. the grant of. thoElliottCresson Medal to James B.
