THE ANNUAL.^HOW,

General committee of management ; President, Mr James Duthie : Vice-President, Mr R. W. Capstick, Committee : Messrs Paton, Murray, Bryce, Hewitson, Lindsay, Goodall, Fraser, Inglis, Black, Sutherland, Porter, Salmond, M'Donald, Hamilton, and $i^p,p t

The annual show of {he Tokomairiro Farmers' Clqh t s hejd on the grounds of $be Ohib at Milton, on Friday (Prince of Wales' birthday). The weather wa^ £ ac and the attendance large. 7' ne number of entries was not cq uaJ to t^. lt of the previoU9 year, feuria'the quality of the exhibits there Was, on the whole, not much to be desired.

The miscellaneous attractions on the ground were not of a particularly striking character. A quack dqctor set up shop ou tne ground with infallible balsams for toothache and illdigestion. The '• fairest game pu the field" and " the only legitimate game on the course" also had jtheir merits loudly proclaimed, while a pushing Cheap John did not 'stint luug power in making the public aware that at his etajl they could have "eeyea shillings'

worth for two." A Good Templars' booth provided refreshments ior the strictest teetotallers, and a booth kept by Mr Bastings dispensed liquors of every description. The Milton Brass Band, conducted by Mr John Grant, discoursed sweet music from a very early hour, and their stirring strains during the day gave, life to the gathering. The attendance during the afternoon was very good, and there would have been about 600 persons present.

Regarding the show itself, in Ayrshire* it was somewhat peculiar that nearly every beast on the ground was bred from stock, once belonging to Mr David Paton, of South* bridge. The bulls were fine animals, and for the best Ayrshire cow in milk the competition was close, some being of opinion that the cow which was awarded the second prize should have been -placed first. In the class Ayrshire cow in calf, the cow which took the first prise was the only one deserving of special mention. . For the competition heifer not in calf there were four entries, and the exhibits .were creditable to the district. In No. 13, heifer one year old, the first prize distanced all her neighbours, and showed far more indications of good breeding than any of the others. For the best three dairy cows, the first prize was a veritable gift to Mr John Potter for the three splendid animals which he exhibited. The first prize best Cottar's or tradesman's cow in milk was a really "quid puir man's coo." In shorthorns the number of entries was few, but the quality of the stock shown was excellent. In draught horses the entries were numerous. The prize for entire^ horse of any ags ■• was awarded to Messrs Craig and Wylie's Sir Robert Napier— a truly magnificent stallion, and one that would have done credit to any show. The second prize was taken by Earl Gowrie, a fine three-year-old colt, the property of Mr Peter Grant, In the class best three-year- old entire a fine horse was shown by Messrs W. and D. Hislop, and which is now travelling -the district. The mares, fillies, and geldings in the several classes or draught stock were of such good quality that it would be invidious to particularise. It should, however, be mentioned that for the best pair of draught mares of any age the judges had no easy task as to which they should award the prize. They finally decided on giving it to Messrs Bryee Bros., of Loyell's Flat, who thereby secured permanent possession of Mr Mqllison'scup. In sheep the show was fully up to what it should be. The merinos shown jby Messrs Bryce- Bros, and Mr Walter Miller were of fine quality. The entries for merinos, however, were riot numerous. The loug-wooled Leicesters Were well represented, and included some really good sheep. The | entries for the leicesters were numerous in every class, and these sheep were a special and leading feature of the "show-, and demonstrated to the numerous visitors from a distance the capabilities of the district. Lincoin's were not so well represented as in former years. It is a description of sheep which j for obvious reasons, has never found general favour in this district, and this year so many were not entered as there were last year. For the Mayor's cup, for the best Leicester ram on the ground, there were four (entries, and the competition was so close that the judges had some difficulty in. coming to a conclusion. For swine there was not a single entry. The dairy produce was of excellent quality, and was at least up to the level of any previous year,. Tokomairiro has always distinguished itself in the matter of dairy produce, and this year the judges, though extremely critical, were highly satisfied with the quality and number of the exhibits. In implements there was more variety shown, and more entries also. A pair of fanners made by Messrs Johnson and Wilson, aud a cheese press of their - own manufacture, attracted great attention. The drain pipes shown by Mr Jones Were of superior quality. The show was amended by numerous visitors [from othe^ districts and the large number pre^ut on the. ground proved that the committee had done well in keepia^ io the day agreed upon, the holiday evidently, having the effect of briuging many strangers to the ground, and taking but few from the district away. The handsome sum of £25 4s 6d was taken at the gate. The. following is the prize list in detail : — CATTIiB. Attending members of committee— Messrs W. Hewitson and J . Hialop.
