A. AND P. SHOWS.

BANKS PENINSULA. | Good luck keeps up with the Banks Peninsula A. and P. Association in tho matter of weather for its annual show. For years it could not have been better, and yesterday, -when, the sixteenth annual function was held, the experience was the same. As a consequent a very largo crowd of district iolk and from a distances visited the picturesque Awa Iti Domain at Little River, whero the show" was held. The hills were carrying their brightest mantle of green, and the picnicking atmosphere that features this annual gathering was enhanced* by the picturesque surroundines as well as by the pleasant weather. The trr,in from the City was well patronised, but the bulk of the visitors travelled per motor, and there was a great assemblage of cars on the eround. The "gate'' was a record, yielding £lB7. bifC the charge was 2s this verr as against Is last year, when the figure was £IOO. In 1922, however, when there was a 2s charge, the return was £lso. • The entries were down this year on last by -about 200. With the exception of sheep all sections of stock showed a decline, as did the miscellaneous sections. The brckward spring has been against stock getting into show condition . Tie Stock. The show, as a rule is notable lor the quality of the light horses, and there was no retrogression yesterday in. this section. However, one department showed a decided advance in quality, rind that was tho dairy oatHt—Jerseys, Friesians, and crossbred. The purebred sheep classes were pooriv patronised, there being only one exhibition in English Leicesters, two in Sciuthdowns. and none in Borders, Remitters, r.nd Ryelands. The crossbreds, however, made a. good display, W. H. Montgomery securing the bulk of the premier awards from A. C. Greenwood. J. F. Buchanan, and A. F/. and 8. W. Birdling. The same exhibitors shared honours fairly evenly in the fat section, in which the clfjjs was good.

Good Dairy Cattle. There was no competition in big Shorthorns. J. K. V. Chapman was tho most successful exhibitor in themeagre competition provided in the Milking Shorthorn section. There were only nine Jerseys 'forward, but the quality can be assessed from the fact that the winner of the three year ■heifer class at the Royal Show had to take chird )>lace yesterday in the class for cows. The winner yesterday was G. H. Watson's Dolly Petune, now in, her ninth year, and an animal of rare muJifcy. ifhe was not shown at the Ttoyal. Friesians made a, very fair entry numerically and a decidedly good one in quality. G. H. Hassall's Hanley Thike w?s awarded the bull championship and F. Cruni's Lily's Last the cow. The latter was second in a very strong class at the Royal. Messrs Crump'and Hassall divided practically all the awards. There was no lack of competition in the dairy cattle section. For the class for cow, judged for type, udder, teals, ?.nd milk veins alons, ]1 cows came forward, the award falling to Mr Watson's Jersey winner, Dolly Pctuiie, with F. Crump's Friesia.n Lily's Last second. It av&s a cla*s of full metropolitan merit. For, the .champion,dairy cow or heifer, any breed, TJoily Petuno again camo into the limelight, there being eight entries. There was good competition in the crossbred dairy section, E. A. Patten scoring the bulk of tho awards. '•..■

In a district that produces, such an amount of fat cattle, the display of these yesterday was disappointingly small, there being competition in onlyone or two classes. Keen Light Horse Competition. As usual there was a very attractive .display of light horses, and as most of them w;ere local exhibits, competition in nearly all tbo sections was keen. Tho 11 iron© hack produced a gooß sort in A. V. Joblin's Moiyneux. Tho veteran Bock Ahoy won the 13 stono division and.tho lady's hack, and A. .WardSmith's, Escort the' 15 stone class. Mr Joblin's Moiyneux also won the class for •best mannered hack;' and the most useful hack. 'lhe maiden hack went, to W. H. Montgomery's Bluespur, an,l the best pair of hacks to A. V. Hutchinson. The best hack on the ground was adjudged to Rock Ahoy, and there were few to dispute this additional decoration to Miss Rutherford's veteran. The 1 cobs and ponies wore up to the standard, and tho harness horses, .though comparatively few in numbers, wero also of more than the usual standard of merit. Competition in the draughts was very I small, particularly in tho working classes. J. 0. Coop's stallion Waitangi t Royal Buchlyvie, was adjudged champion. Mr Coop and Sir Heaton Rhodes took tho bulk of the priees. The hunting events wero the best for a- number of yearst and even a seasoned hunter like Rock Ahoy had to run the test of a second course round before the award went his way, and he jumped as well as he has ever done. There were several very promising local horses competing. The following were the judges of the various sections: —Sheep: Studs — Messrs G. Gould; fat, J. Brookes; crossbred, F. W. "Williams.
