LITTLE RIVER SHOW

fine light horses record sheep entries For the first time for some years, the Banks Peninsula Agricultural and Pastoral Association had a wet day for its annual show. The fixture, which was held at Little River yesterday, was also the first of the Canterbury shows this season to be unfortunate in this way, but it was nevertheless a most successful exhibition. Entries in some sections were a record, and despite the rain which fell fairly heavily in the afternoon, the gate receipts showed an advance on those of last year. The Little River show has become noted for its display of light horses, and yesterday's events in these classes were well filled. A refreshing feature of the Little River light horse exhibition Is that many local exhibitors, who do not take their horses to other shows, make a point of patronising their own fixture. Competition is thus well diversified. . . Sheep, except for the crossbreds, have never been a strong point at Little River, but the entries yesterday were a record. Most breeds were poorly patronised, but the quality was good. James Reid, who has had an exceptionally successful season with his English Leicesters, met good competition in these classes, but carried off both the ram and ewe championships with two fine sheep. Sir R. Heaton Rhodes and Commander S. Hall were other successful competitors m this section. The crossbred classes were well filled, and the competition, confined almost exclusively to local exhibitors, whose knowledge of this type of sheep is wide, was well diversified. S. S. Barclay was perhaps the most successful competitor, but the other prize- ! takers made a formidable list. Good Fat Sheep. Although not outstandingly good, the i fat sheep and lamb classes were very i fair, and were a distinct improvement on the exhibitions at recent Little River shows in these classes. The draught horses shown were not numerous, but they were excellent in quality, and there was good competition in almost every section. R. S. Courtney, with Lawrence Kincardine, won the championship for entires, and Ken Boyle, with Lady Dawn, another of the progeny of Bonny Kincardine, won the championship for mares. Lady Dawn is a two-year-old. and is a most promising filly. In the military classes, Miss R. Wynn-Williams's Peter won the troop horse class. T. Masefields Tafty scored the first of his successes in the mounted rifle class, and J. J. Flynn's Thornie won the artillery horse competition. Few of the light horse sections did not attract strong competition, and the judge had an unenviable task. The light horse championship went to Miss I. Rutherford's The Courier, an outstanding animal, which also took the Gray cup for the best hack on the ground. The most successful competitor, however, was Miss Hilda Montgomery, who with Polly Peachem, Ross Ferry, and Russett. took in the light horse- and hunter classes a championship, five first prizes, six second prizes, and four thirds. Her awards were all gained in strong competition with both local exhibitors and a number who had travelled from outside districts. Miss Montgomery had a string of four horses, and with • only one of them failed to take a prize. The rest of the awards were well distributed, local owners taking their fair share of awards against more experienced exhibitors. The Cobs and Ponies. Like the light horse classes, those for cobs and ponies were very well filled, and in practically every section attracted excellent competition. The pony championship went to Ken Chapman's Kitty Winkle, the rest of the awards being well sprinkled. _ T. Masefield showed an excellent animal in Taffy, which won one of the cob classes, and also the prize for the bestmannered hack.

Miss Dorothy Maginness's Scandal won the harness championship against strong competition, the same owner's Tittle Tattle, a full brother, being run-ner-up. With these two horses Miss Maginness won five first places. The rain in the afternoon made the ring events for hunters rather an exciting business for both riders and horses. The grass was slippery, and many of the mounts showed a quite justifiable nervousness. Nevertheless, the jumping was of good standard, and every class was strongly contested. Miss Hilda Montgomery's Polly Peachem won the championship for hunters, and took prizes in t}ie open hunter, and under 13 stone classes.

High Quality Cattle.

There was not a great deal of competition in the breed cattle sections, but in the crossbred classes the entries were numerous, and generally of a high standard. In Thongsleigh Master 11., J. C. Chamberlain showed an outstanding Shorthorn bull which won the championship. The same breeder's Thongsleigh Mayflower Eighteenth took the cow championship. In the milking Shorthorn section, F. W. Crockett took both the buil and cow ribbons.

The Jerseys were a strong class, with excellent competition all round. P. J. Dulieu's Cupbearer won the championship for bulls, and C. H. Watson's Tokorangi Silver Rose, a magnificent cow, took the ribbon for her sex.

The Friesians were another very strong class, the quality being uniformly high. The champion bull, R. E. Gillman's Melrose Model Echo Burkeyje was a splendid specimen of his breed, and attacted much notice. The championship for cows went to F. Crump's Fairburn Queen Jessie. C. H. Watson's Tokorangi Silver Rose gained further honours in taking the championship for dairy cows, Mr W. H. Montgomery's prize going to J. E. V. Chapman's Kilfawn Johnquil The crossbred dairy cattle were a particularly strong class, even for Little River. The 1933 show broke records in the entries of sheep, horses, cattle, and domestic produce. The gate receipts were £l6O, compared with £159 last year, and altogether the event was a great success. Even the rain could not spoil entirely the_ effect of the picturesque surroundings of the grounds, and such attractions as the bullock team and the splendid horses made the show as good as ever.
