■ | thought or hope of reward. It la ' ! felt that this is a suitable occasion !| on which to tender to Mr Batkin J grateful thanks for the invaluable laid he has given.” | The address was signed by Mr G. I B. Henry, President of the Katikati A. and P. Society, and was handed by Mr Burnett to Mr Batkin amidst very hearty applause. Mr Burnett, continuing, said he was very pleased to meet Mr Ranstead. Secretary of the Waikato Agj ricultural and Pastoral Association, j Mr Ranstead and himself were passengers on the same ship from the Old Country to New Zealand forty I year ago. He extended congratula(tions to the Society and then declar--1 ed thp show open, j Mr Batkin, in thanking the farm- ! ers of Katikati for their testimonial, said he made veterinary work a hobby, and he would in the future, as in the past, be only too pleased to render what assistance he could in the alleviation of live stock troubles. The Hon. B. C. Robbins, M.L.C., said it afforded him great pleasure to be associated with Air Burnett in attending the Katikati Show. He had been a resident of the Bay of Plenty for over twenty years and had seen Katikati come into its own. The Society possessed a fine ground with pleasant surroundings. The large attendance, despite the adverse weather, showed that the people were good sports. He congratulated the promoters on the excellent show and wished the Society every success in the future. The chopping matches attracted large entries, including notable axemen from outside districts, and were watched with great interest. The Highland dancing competitions formed a feature of the programme, and owing to the rain were held in the hall not far from the showground. Air T. A. AlacDonald, of Waihi, supervised the dancing and the awards were made by Air G. C. Stronach, of Thames.

Proof that the Katikati Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s Show i- an event to which young and old alike look forward with the utmost eagerness was again demonstrated in ample measure on Saturday, when despite very wet weather a large crowd attended in the Uretara domain. Since it was established twen-ly-two years ago the Society has made steady progress and the fixture is now regarded as one of the most popular in the Bay of Plenty. From the productivity point of view the Katikati district, on account of its salubrious climate and liberal average rainfall, is adaptable for dairying, sheep breeding, cattle raising and mixed farming. In the southern portion of New Zealand there are severe winter conditions to contend ■with and farming there is a much more arduous proposition than in a district with the ideal climatic conditions of Katikati. The annual exhibition furnishes an indication of the district’s agricultural potentialities aird Saturday's standard was a reliable guide as to the modern conditions under which tanning is carried on. There was an excellent response by exhibitors in all departments of the show, and in numerous classes the entries were outstandingly notable, both in number and quality. The show is the most important event of the year at Katikati and amongst those who patronised Saturday’s gathering were many friends from Te Aroha, Morrinsville, Paeroa, Thames, Waikino, Waihi, Tauranga and other Bay of Plenty districts. Last year Katikati was the final show .in the Bay of Plenty circuit, but this year the order was reversed and it was the first exhibition, and will be followed by Taurauga, Te Puke, Whakatane and Opotiki in rotation. The exhibits in the live stock classes came forward in the pink of condition and gave convincing proof of the high feeding standard of local pastures. It has been pleasing to note that the export prices for most of the primary products have held at remunerative prices during the past year, and the progressive farmers of Katikati have been in a position to share to the full in the general prosperity. in every respect the show was an outstanding success and was a splendid demonstration of the advancement of the whole district and | its suitability for the carrying on of general farming operations. A.very energetic executive, headed by the President, Mr G. B. Henry, had control of the arrangements, while the joint Secretaries, Messrs 0. P. Coleman and F. N. Blomquist, carried out their duties in such a manner as to earn the approbation of everyone. The many sections of the show claimed prompt attention trom a zealous body of . stewards, Mth the result that the judging was completed to schedule time, a fact which w as greatly appreciated by any outside patrons who had long oturn journeys before them. Katihn .F°,? sesse s a reputation for its ospitality and this was admirably maintained on Saturday. The lunon was served in the dining parttlie Society’s commodious „ dmg - The whole of the catering wangements were under the control Blomquist, who had the stance of a voluntary band of dpui er /’ and tlie Soc i e ty is under a tin. *{p grat^u^e to those ladies for d , roug k manner in which this ihf , ment was carried through to Patrons faCt *° n 0f nianj ' hundreds of

Motor vehicles, farm equipment, agricultural implements and accessories made a good dispPay. The light horses and ponies were represented by a strong section, the riders including many ladies, and boys and girls, all of whom handled their mounts creditably. The competition was keen and many of the hacks and ponies were class enough for any show. The two trotting events were very popular, the winners being two notable show performers in Great Fame and Mr Penalty, both owned by Mr C. W. Hewson, of Waihi, who also carried off the hack championship with the wellmannered Scout (a descendant of St. Amans), while his champion pony Myrtle performed very creditably In the leaping events. Mr Hewson is bringing his team through for the Tauranga and Te Puke shows this week. In the leaping events the best hunters of the Bay of Plenty and several outside areas competed, the points won by successful horses at the Katikati show counting toward the final aggregates for the circuit prizes of the five Bay of Plenty shows. The leaping was spectacular and formed a fitting termination to a very interesting day. Both in number and quality the draughts compared very favourably with the shows of recent years. The brood mares and the young horses and foals made a good collection and it was evident that the breeding of draught horses is receiving more attention now than in the past ten years. The championship for mares was awarded to Mr R. J. Black’s Bella, a very nice type of draught. Mr K. Morton’s draughts were absent on this occasion, as they could not be brought forward, owing to a recent accident to Mr Tom Morton.

The Jerseys constituted the strongest section in the cattle division, and many animals of exceptional merit were paraded before the judge. The double championship was carried off by the Waimana breeder, Mr T. W. Wardlaw, whose champion bull Toatoa Forward (Brampton’s Owl Standard, imp.—Toatoa Princess Feoni) is an outstanding four-year-old, for whom the judge had a good word. The same owner’s cow Wellfield Lady Gay, v.h.c. (Raupo Noble—Miss Petune) was awarded the champion ribbon and is a typical Jersey, which was, bred by Mr W. Murray, of Edgecombe. Mr Wardlaw’s cattle will compete at Tauranga and Te Puke. The Friesians were represented by typical specimens of the black and white breed. The double championship went to Mr E. F. Walford, of the Foxbro Stud, Totara Adjutant taking the honours in bulls and Foxbro Star in cows. Mr A. J. Cameron, of Hikutaia, was represented by some good Friesians in this section. There was a fair entry of Ayrshires, a breed noted for hardy constitution. The judge, Mr A. Weir, was well pleased with the section, <yid regarded the champion bull as one which should develop into a line animal. The young stock formed a good collection and Mr A. McCormick's calves were particularly good. The championship for bulls was carried off by Mr S. Wright’s yearling, bred by Mr J. G. Donald, of Featherston, while .Air Wright also appropriated the championship for cows with a classy three-year-old. Mr M. N. Trotter’s Meou Nehutai was adjudged the champion dairy cow of the §how, and is a credit to the Oddico'mbe Stud. The entries in the classes for pigs serve to prove the expansion of this industry. The competition was keen and many animals of high standard were penned. The principal exhibitors were Alessrs W. E. Bowen (Te Puke), A. J. Alander and Son, K. O. Putt and A. W. T. Hyde (Katikati), R. W. Strugnell (Omokoroa) and C. A. Aloore (Waihi). A very creditable exhibition of craft work of pupils of the Secondary Department of the Katikati High School was on view. The children’s work reflected great credit on Miss M. I. K. Dale, the arts mistress of the school. The exhibits included some fine specimens of chip and relief carving, fret-work and wood col-our-work. A new departure this year was in the wood fibre work and some flue coloured artificial flowers consisting of violets, roses and camellias were outstanding. Coloured pencil work on wood of a ship in full sail was among the meritorious exhibits on view.
