The local show on the 19th promises a strong entry and a reworked concert program with Miss McDonald Troun aon Aldermann Thomas Wickham Pine Nicholls Coombs Lovell Liddle and Mrs Lovell. Snakes have appeared in the district with sightings along the line and at the railway yard, but were disposed of.

He urges farmers to exhibit more to educate and improve standards, warns against spectacle like horse jumping replacing real agricultural merit, and calls for practical support to elevate shows beyond social chorus fairs.
