DUVAUCHELLE SHOW

WELL BALANCED EXHIBITION

Good Attendance and Beautiful

Weather

The officials who carried out the 1937 show should be very well satisfied with its success. The classes in all sections were well supported by exhibitors and in every department there was a high quality of exhibits and good competition. Mr H. L. Cairns, President of the Association for this year, deserves the | greatest credit for his energy and enthusiasm and he was well supported by Messrs V. Craw and T. W.Warner (vice-presidents) as well as past presidents, committee and officials, which made the smooth running of the show an easy matter. Mr T. E. McKenzie, secretary of the association deserves the greatest credit tor his efficient work in organising and generally carrying out his duties. The judges also deserve praise for the assistance accorded the association. Comparison of Entries Catalogued entries (which do .not in elude domestic and farmers' produce and fruit and vegetables) were 526, •and the policy of eliminating post ntries in part of the junior and in he handcraft sections is a wise one. This could be extended with advantage. Following arc the figures compared with last year's show: — 1937 1936 Horses .. .. 10!) 134 Cattle .. .. 86 81 Sheep .. .. 13 14 Dog Trial . . 16 Junior .. .. 206 106 Photography 1 H Handcraft .. 95 91 Totals .. .. 526 453 The attendance of the show was equal to last year about £30 being j taken at the gate. Financially the H \ssociation should gain ground as the result of the show.

The Akaroa Silver Band played a programme of music during the ai't-'V-noon which was appreciated.

Winners of Cups Cups and champion ribbons were won as follows:—*

Mr V. Craw won Mr W. Craw's £10 10s silver cup, competed for for the first time this year, for most points in store cattle section. Points awarded were: V. Craw 16, J. E. Thacker 8. Points for R. Donovdn's cup for most points in sheep section were awarded as follows: E. W. Hammond 4, V. Craw 4, R. Donovan 4. Champion Ribbons The Central Dairy Co.'s champion ribbon for best cow and heifer, any breed, was won by J. R. White's three-year-old Jersey cow. The Tai Tapu Dairy Co.'s champion ribbon for best bull was won by J. G. Haylock's Jersey bull "Silverlea Merridale." Mr D. Kay's champion ribbon for best pony was won by Ken Chapman's "Percival Gull." Messrs J. V. and J. E. V. Chapman's champion ribbon for best hack was won by Lady Stewart's "The Laird." Horses Though the days when 300 horses faced judges in the show rings have long disappeared, Banks Peninsula still retains its reputation for horses, good cobs Und ponies, *he vehicle horses appearing only in small numbers now. The hack classes were well filled yesterday and Lady Stewart's chestnut gelding, "The Laird," and Miss K. Kay's "Garryowen," the champion hack and reserve champion Were much admired.

Mr Ken Chapman's two ponies "Percival Gull," the champion, and "Dapple" were fit for any show rings.

There were many other good horses which goes to show that Peninsula people are not neglecting the breeding of good stamp hacks.

Commenting on manners in the show ring, Mr Kain, the judge, said there was* quite a lot of kicking going on and Mr C. S. . Hardy's hunter "Joker" was badly kicked when lining up for the ribbons. He said exhibitors should school up their horses for show purposes, otherwise they should not be allowed in the show rings. Cattle Quality is improving year by year in the cattle section. Mr W. Craw's handsome new cup drew good competition in store classcs and some fine young cattle were exhibited. In. the dairy classes Messrs C. Humm and sons' Friesians and J. R. White's Jerseys were heavy prize winners, but other splendid type animals, such as Mr J. G. Haylock's Jersey bull, go to show that many other Peninsula dairymen are breeding on the right lines. The general standard of the dairy classcs has made a remarkable advance in the last few years. Sheep and Dogs The lamb classes, dogs and dog trial drew good entries. The sheep section is one which might well be extended to include more crossbred classcs, as at present the sheep section is a rather meagre one. The entries in the dog trial showed the keen interest taken in this class. (Continued on page 3.)

time for much social intercourse, but some of the ship's company enjoyed the hospitality of the Akaroa people. The warships left Akaroa at 5.30 p.m. for Wellington, H.M.S. Achilles leaving first. The bands >on both, ships were playing as they left the harbour.

(Continued from page 2.) Junior Section A change of classes, arranged by til": Banks Peninsula Teachers'. Association, resulted in large entries, aad a line; exhibition of school work. Fe-.lvy-six young competitors "faced the- tape" in cue writing class—a real show of enthusiasm; •Mr W. T, Church's task as judge was not a light • one. The exhibition gave a good variety of school work and the standard was high' and the exhibits mcst satisfactory. Domestic Produce The entries in domestic produce which have been disappointing in recent years were well up this year. They were very ■ representative of Banks Peninsula. Mr?; G.
