Exchange of Judges.

Mr Fisher proposed, "That with a view to promote an exchange of judges between the different associations, this Conference requests the various agricultural and pastoral associations throughout the Colony to compile a roll of the names of the residents in the district capable and willing to undertake the duty of judge at shows held by agricultural and pastoral societies outside their district, and that copies of the rolls should be forwarded to the metropolitan agricultural and pastoral associations."

Mr Cliff seconded the motion, which, after some remarks from Messrs Grigg, Hall, Buchanan, Henderson and Borrie, was negatived.
