PEOPLE'S DAY.

WHANGAREI A. AND P. SHOW. J> WEATHER IMPROVES.** ADDITIONAL AWARDS. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WHANGAREI, this day. The weather cleared up for People's Day at the Whangarei A. and P. Society's Show. Rain early this morning kept many people away, but the attendance increased rapidly after mid-day.

"I am surprised to find how clean you have kept the wool in the district," said Mr. E. E. Short, of Feilding, who judged the Romney Marsh sheep of the show. "I did not see a tick."

The largest class in the cattle show, the Jerseys, were judged by Mr. H. C. Sampson, New Plymouth, who was pleased with the keen competition, and commented that the quality was quite good. The champion cow, owned by Dr. Walker, was a particularly well vesseled animal, but would have been better with a little more refinement. The aged cow class right through was strong. The three-year-olds were not so good, but there were some fine animals among the two-year-old prize-winners. The yearlings were splendid, and Mr. Sampson expressed the opinion that the animals which had won the honours in that class would figure prominently when shown as matured cattle. Two heifers were particularly worthy of commendation. The calves were a very nice lot, and were a hard class to judge. Mr. Sampson said the male side of the show was disappointing in comparison with the female. The champion bull had too much condition, and a rather plain head. The reserve was better in the head, but failed in the hind quarters. Young bulls as a whole did not show the quality of the older animals. Speaking generally the judge said that some of the cattle lacked condition, especially the three and two-year-olds. The general get-up was good.

Mrs. Trollipo of Mount Eden, expressed herself charmed with the flowers she had judged. "I have never seen more beautiful gladioli and gerberas," she said. "I am also delighted with the decorative work. The display taken right through compares very favourably with anything I have judged in Sydney." Additional awards are as follows:— HORSES.
