From all points of view the Methven Agricultural and Pastoral Association's 19th annual shoV, which was held on the Mount Harding Racecourse to-day, is an instantaneous success. The entries have created a record, by a large margin over any preceding show, the attendance is large, and the weather is the best, while the quality of the exhibits throughout the catalogue could hardly be bettered. The Show at Methven is considered one of the most popular in the County, and this is borne out by the fact that there are. 233 more entries this year than for last year. In some respects, it has been said the fixture is a real rival of the Ashburton Show. At all events, the association" has staged their annual event in a most creditable manner, revealing the true productive qualities of the district. While some of the stock sections are not so well patronised this year as on former occasions, it is pleasing to note that the quality of the animals brought forward has in no way diminished from the high level to which patrons x of the, Methven Show have become accustomed. Taking the entries, there is a total of 1665. Sheep and horses were strong features of the catalogue and all day there were crowds of interested people round the ring. As there were 120 more sheep this year than last, the accommodation was taxed to the utmost. Juvenile cookery alone accounted for 166 entries, and it is evident that this side of domestic life is not neglected in country homes. Entries from the schools reached the unusually high total of-254. The comparative list of entries is as follow:

The judges were• as follow:—Lambs (fat), Mr D. McLaughlan; sheep (fat) Mr J. Guiney; flock ewes, Mr J. H. Grigg; white faced and English Leicesters, Mr W. J. Jenkins; Border Leicesters, Col. J.

With many years of experience behind them, it was not to be wondered at that the officials had arrangements well in hand. There were no serious hitches, and under the guidance of the President (Mr J. McAnulty) the officers worked energetically and enthusiastically for success." The Ashburton Pipe Band was in attendance and played selections during the afternoon. The Hon. W- Nosworthy (PostmasterGeneral) and Mr D. Jones, M.P., were among those present during the afternoon . THE PRIZE LIST.
