METHVEN SHOW.

A RECORD ENTRY. A FINE SHEEP DISPLAY. Last year the Mcthveri A. and P. Association adopted the innovation of holding the annual Show on the Saturday, and the change was a pronounced mieeess, financially and otherwise. It avoided a break in the week, and encouraged townfolk to avail themselves of the half-holiday to visit the Show. The valae of avoiding such a break is i mora pronounced now than it was t twelve months ago. Close attention to the farm is more necessary to-day. Ideal weather prevailed on Saturday, and as the country near the ranges enjoys a more generous rainfall than fur- ' ther down it was looking at its best. Turnip and rape crops after the recent rains are looking particularly well, im- j pressing visitors from a distance with j ' the good fortune of the district. Of I "visitors from ontside the district there j J "was a good number, at bough the "gate" , was slightly less than last year. j> Entries were a record, totalling 1800, <*» against the previous best "total of 1680 recorded last year. The improvement, moreover, was in the important sections of sheep and cattle. The Show was excellently managed "nnder the direction of Mr P. S. McDonald (president) and Mr J. F. Stone (secretary). Some of the sections were very large, and the judging cf these neces- > aarily continued until well in the aftermoon, bot there was no delay ia&thc recording of the results. The panide of {prise stock, headed by the Pipe Band, made an imposing display.

The Stock. The sheep exhibits, represented the *rery substantial total of 3C«I, and as a 'big proportion of the prominent breeders of Mid-Co terbury were competing, the display was as outstanding in quality as it wan numerically. The English Xeieester section was competed in- by "W. Letham, B. J. Low, C. A. Campion, and C. B. Watson. The two -tint-named took the bulk of the-senior jnrards, the championship for rams going to' McDonald Bros, and for ewes 1o W. Letham. Altogether it was a * wUMe display. In Border Leiecesters fi S. 6. Lemon took the ewe champion■i:| &Mp, bat all the other senior awards j 3n this section, and the ram ehampionij- Ship w«nt to B. JT. 'Low. The Bomneys ™ *wew satali in number, S. Andrews tak- ) arag the two championships. Of Lincolns ' Hhere was none forward, and there was m /onlythe one exhibitor, H. C. B.
