HAWARDEN A. AND P. SHOW.

Prcident: Mr H. T. L.itt!o. Vice-presi-dent*: Messrs Ci. Rutherford and T. A. .Shci!d». Hon. Treasurer: Mr A. Beaven, Hon. Secretary: Mr O. F. Clothi-cr.

The third annual sliow of the Hawnrdoii A. and P. Society was held yesterday on the .site near the salcyarus. There was a large attendance, the gate takings being an increase of some pounds on last year. The sheep and cattle were shown in the pens of the show, and the horses were exhibited on the hill. The show of roots and grain was under cover, and the hall contained a splendid display of homo industries, etc. The Hon. G. Fowlds, Minister of Iklucaton, was on the ground, with Messrs G. Witty and G. W. ForDes, M.P.'s, and took much interest in all the exhibits. They lunched with tho committee.

There was an entry of seventy-one draught horses, in which were the line exhibits of Messrs James Little, It. Wri-lit, W. Earl, J. Allan, W. C. Davie, W. O'Brien, W. Butcher, J. Wylio, T. A. Shields, O. F. Clothier and others. The older stock was -well brought out, but the great feature was the young stock, which did credit to the district.

Among the light horses, in which class there ivero fifty-eight entries, there were many serviceable hackneys, the gig horses also being a most attractive element. The hunters, too, afforded a good recommendation for the district.

The ponies section comprised thirtysix entries, and there was a good deal of quality shown in the riding, driving, and polo classes. Numerically the cattle entry -was smaller than the visitors expected, tut there were one or two good dairy cows, some young stock, and four servioeableIcoking bulls. Fat sheep and lambs formed the .best part of the stock display. Here thero were seventy-three pens, the most of which contained five sheep each, and each class affoi-ded keen competition for tho prizes and the specials wiiich were given. Pure-bred sheep drew an entry of eighty-on© pens, iv which the premier flocks of the Hawarden district were represented. The exhibitors included Messrs Little, J. Jones, F. H. Davy and Co., and Mrs Jon. Brown in. English Leieesters, Messrs O. F. Clothier, J. Snence, T. A. Shields and G. Gardiner in Border classes, Messrs R. Evans and Shields in Shropshires, and Messrs Gardiner, Glover and Evans in Southdowns, while Messrs W. C. Bridson, V. White, H. T. Little, J. Stewart, W. C. Davie, W. A. Banks and P. McFarlano made matters very merry in the halfbreds and Corriedalos. The merino breed was represented by entries from the flocks of Messrs W. W. Mcßao, J. 11. Wright, H. T. Little, A. Kennedy, W. C. Davie, F. H. Davy and Co., J. Jones, R. Evans, B. W. Glass, G. Gardiner, T. A. Sheilds and R. Evans. Only one piy was exhibited, and the suggestion was made that in Hawarden the settlers either havo no rents, or do not expect the pigs to pay the amount. There was a fine show of collies and dogs of other breeds. The grain section afforded somo idea of the x>roductiveness of the. season in wheat, oats, and peas, and there was one bright sample of barley. The grass seed was heavy, and was shown attractively. All the examples of the root crops proved that the late rains of January had improved the conditions for growers of potatoes, turnips, and mangolds, and the fruit did credit to the orchards of the neighbourhood. The collections of vesetablos formed a feature of the horticultural show, and the growers are to be complimented on the fine quality of the exhibits. The judges were: —Draught horses, Messrs H. E. Finchani, T. Rainey; light horses, Mr G. B. Starkcy; ponies, Air W. Scoone; cattle. Dr. Levingo; blackface sheen, Mr S. Gibbs; fat sheep, Mr F. Adams; halfbreds, Mr W. Mclntosh; dogs. Mr F. Biggs; grain and roots, Mr J. Stevensonj cooking, Mrs J. W. Foster; painting and children's exhibits, Mrs J. O. Josling; home and dairy nroduco, Mr R. Gregg and Mr J. W. Foster.
