JUMPING events: The jumping events on the first day's programme have for many years beenregarded as among the most spectacular of the, ring items, and yesterday they proved as popular as ever. Some splendid concerted work was shown by' military units in the three events in which they participated. In the event to determine the best section over hurdles the jumping was of a high order, reflecting credit on the three entrants. The winning section was the C.Y.C. team No. 2 Ashburton, with the No. 3 team, Methven, second. The Lloyd-Lindsay competition, in which three men engaging the enemy had their mounts brought to them by one of their unit, the four men then riding to the finishing point over two sets of hurdles, provided another good exhibition of combined work. It was won by the C.Y.C. team No. 1, Ashburton, the No. 2 team Methven, being rnnner up. In tho Victoria Cross race, involving the rescue of a trooper supposed to be in danger, twelve entries were received, the winner befng Lance-Corporal C. Begg (N.Z.M.R., C.Y.C.), Sergeant L. L. Buttriek (C.Y.C.) being second, and Captain G. 0. Gray (C.Y.C.) third.

PONY JUMPING AND TROTTING. The ringside was well lined with spectators when the pony jumping and trotting events were being held. The jumping was very creditable, the girl riders in most cases keeping better seats than the boys and' generally showing a better knowledge of equestrianism. Eight entries were received in respect of the pony jumping for animals not over 14 hands, ridden by boys or girls' under 17 years of age, the first prize being secured by N. Hadfield on Miss Avro, the second by G. Stalker on Alert, and the third by John Hampton on Zilly. In the class for ponies not over 14 haiids 2 inches, ridden by boys or girls under 17, N. Hadfield was first on Hotch and T. Masefield second on Peter. The class for ponies not exceeding 14 hands, for riders under 17, was won by N. Hadfield on Htotch, T. Masefield heing second with Peter, and R. H. Bennetts third with Helen. The handicap trot was won by P. L. Donald on Barney, the second place being filled by Jas. Tomkinson on Tom,' nnd the third by T. Truscott on Pleasant John. Miss Margaret Mac Gibbon, on Fancy, annexed the handicap pony trot,l3 hands or under, ridden by boys 'or girls under 14., Keith Bailey being second with Charming Prince, and F. Truscott third with Trixey. The go-as-you-please event, for ponies 12 hands of under, for riders under 12 years, was won by Geo. Hutton on Polly, the second placing being F. Truscott '.on Jim. and the third Keith Bailey on Charming Prince. A similar event for ponies 11 hands and under was won by T. Pheloung on Tommy, Miss Kathleen Rutherford, on Connemara Pat, being second, and-F. Truscott, on Billy, third. There were no fewer than' twenty entries for the maiden hunter event, which was won by Mr B. C. Rutherford's Diamond, Mr H. V. Warning's Tutane coming second and Messrs Black Bros.' Gold Cloud third;. Fourteen entered for the competition for the test actioned horse, which went to W. Kennedy's Bingen Brook, Miss A. Ensor's Surprise beme next, and Mr J. 0 Guinness's Moorefield third. \

pigs: '' There was-a shortage of • 27 in the total eiltry oXpig ß aa compared with the nuinber at ..the Royal Show held last year, but an' increase of 33 -over the total of the ordinary show held in 1926; It waa also highly gratifying to notice that among the exhibitors there were several who had not previously been exhibitors at the Christchurch Metropolitan Show, thus in a measure replacing those who "had ceased to be exhibitors either through death or through having gone out of rearing and the getting up of pigs for public competition at such magnificent displays as one has the pleasure of-seeing at such an important figure as the Christchurch Show. ; There were no exhibits either in the large Black Devon or in the -Yorkshire classes, but there was by a long way the best exhibition of Large Whites ever seen at any show held in the South Island of the Dominion, and this may be .accounted for in a great measure to the prominence has been given to this breed and tp their suitability either for export or for the Home market. ■ "In the opinion of the judge, Mr J. A. Eussell, of Palmerston North, the Large Whites were of fairly good quality generally, but there was nothing of outstanding merit about them. The Berkshires, however, were of great merit, and were still a notable and high-ly-commendable feature at the show. The Tamworths were as a whole a particularly good, well-bred lot, and a better show of this breed had never been seeh'in Christchurch. It was very noticeable, too, that many of the young pies were particularly good, and bore ample evidence that the Canterbury breeders are still aware that it pays handsomely to bTeed the best of stock, and also to feed and bring them out W Jn the aged boar Berkshire class there were only three entries. The first ticket was awarded to the estate of G. H. Barnett, with a great, well-bred imported pig Meadowbank Newcastle, bred by E. C. Hair, Australia, and J. D. Galpin's Lymington Lad 10th was second. There was keen competition in the class boar 14 months and under, G. H. Barnett's estate was first with Meadow Derby, and was bred by tne late G. H. Barnett. F. G. Hemdge s Millbrook Prince was second. in tne class boar under four months, the Barnett Estate was first and second. The same estate was again first m the sell-ing-class sow under four months, ihe same estate again scored in the class for sow under four months, with J. Galpin second. J. Chilton scored a good win with a first for sow with Utter of her own pigs. It was an .exceptionally good litter, too, ™th, nine remarkably well-grown pigs. The class for sow 14 months and under was the strongest in the Berkshire sections, • D Galpin coming first with Lymington Model Lass, and F. G. Hei idge second with Milbrook Princess. Tho Barnett Estate was first and second in tne class for sow eight months and' under. There was good competition m the class for Tamworths eight months ana under, and J. D. Galpin was first in the class for boar eight months ana under, in the class for sow any age in pig or with litter, J. D. McEvedy gained a first and a special, together with a commended. The class for sow bight months and under was the strongest in the Tamworth section, ana J. I). Galpin won a first and specialfor a ww eight months and under, with

Dromoreland Lass Bth, and J. D. McEvedy was awarded a highly-commenti ed ticket. The Largp White sections, in which special interest was centred, were to a certain extent a novel feature at the Christchurch show, though at a number of the North Island shows the Large Whites have for some years past been one of the principal features in so far as bacon pigs are concerned. There was good competition in the class for boar over 14 months. A monster of a boar, Bianca Governor sth, and bred by R. Guthridge, Victoria, and exhibited by the Canterbury Agricultural College, gained a first and a special, J. E. Ashworth a second and a special with Blythewood Bonanza, bred by J. A. Bus sell, of Palmerston North, gained a second and a special. J. D. Galpin was the first and second in the selling class for boar under four months, and C. Morgan Williams gained a commended and a highly commended ticket. R. J. Fleming gained a first and a championship in the class breeding sow in pig or pigged, since August 3rd, and -J. E. Ashworth was second, with the reserve championship. The Canterbury Agricultural College wSs awarded the first and a championship with sow with litter of not less than six, eight months and under, and J. D. Galpin was first and second in the class for sow eight months and under 14 months. , C. Morgan Williams was first in the class for sow eight months and under. He also was second, and added to these two honours with one of the principal championships of the show, together with a reserve champion honour. He was also successful in the class for some under four months, with J. D. Galpin third. There was a .highly creditable display of porkers and baconers, and competition was fairly keen.

IMPLEMENTS AND MACHINERY. IMPROVEMENTS AND INNOVATIONS. Every Show produces an improvement in the exhibit of implements and machinery, and it was not surprising therefore to find this section claiming the attention of a very large number of people who found plenty to interest them in the comprehensive displays of contrivances and applianoes for lightening the burden of toil on the land and increasing the productivity of agriculture. It is doubtful whether any previous Show has resulted in such a great staging of new departures. By the use of motors many of the machines were demonstrated in motion, and binders moved in their endless circles behind the tractors which drew them. A stripper drum with chains for beating out the seed attracted many farmers. High above the tent tops and blowers of the harvesters, the "prongs" of the stackers pointed skyward. One of the new devices was Wearn s automatic drive for separators and all classes of machinery operated direct from an electric motor. Messrs Booth, Macdonald and Co. showed a combination" road-grader and scarifier, an improved imported hay press, and a lime distributor attached to a farm dray. Messrs P. and D. Duncan's improved potato planted appeared in the demonstration of its working to give complete satisfaction, and it was the oentre of a large' crowd all day. This firm had its best exhibit for years, and its new machinery included a double box ' slag sower and a large range of inacmnery suitable for use by local bodies. On display was a comprehensive selection of cast and wrought iron ploughshares;. A Sunshine pea harvester shown by Messrs Andrews, and Beaven cut, threshes, cleans, and delivers the . crop, the motive power being applied through a take-off from a tractor, which also supplies the locomotion. A 60 horsepower wheel tractor was stated to be the most powerful of its type in the Dominion. The Sunshine wheat harvester of the type used in Australia is coming into greater use in Canterbury, and one of these machines Was On exhibit. Complete with wire rope drum, a big tractor specially designed for replacing steam traction engines interested many fanners and others engaged in local body work. There were numerous types of threshers and motor trucks, and Messrs Mason, Struthers and Co.'s stand was taken up with a wide range of exhibits, including a shearing plant, motor mowers, and separators. The uses for which concrete may be utilised: were shown by a display of tanks, troughs, and other farm requirements made in this permanent material. .. The judges, Messrs G. W. Osborne, R A. Fougere, and D. Gillanders, met in the afternoon and made the following awards:—Messrs H. Oakley . and Sons, Ltd., pumice boiler—certificate of merit; .Messrs Brown Bros., Thermo electric water heater, automatic electric cellar draining pump, Orion electric range—certificates of merit; Messrs Taylors, Ltd., iron fireman mechanical stoker —certificate ■ of Singer Sewing Machine Co., electric motors for afl classes —certificate of merit: Messrs H.

Sunshine pea harvester, Bamblett mower and Red River steel thresher—certificates of merit; Messrs T. and S. Morrin and Fenwick, Wood Bros.' thresher—certificate of merit: stooking machine—gold medal, subject to trial; Mr C. E. Wroth, fibre cemeAt tank—certificate of merit.

motor-cars and cycles. Although the Olympia Motor Show attracts the bulk of the exhibits of new models in motor-vehicles, nevertheless a fair number are to be seen every year at the A. and P. Show. This year there are some attractive cars; motor-cycles, and trucks on view, and as many of the exhibits are of the type to appeal especially to farmers they were inspected yesterday by country visitors, who found , a great deal to admire about them. . . MANUFACTURES. In an age in which the complexities of life are rapidly increasing the manufacturer has great scope, and the 1928 show has seen additions to the displays of nearly every firm. The function is regarded by firms which have been exhibiting for many years as one of their best modes of advertising. Not only has the range of the display widened, btit the staging has shown a constant improvement.
