METHVEN SHOW

GOOD DISPLAY OP HORSES

j QUALITY HACKNEY RINGS

Fine weather on Saturday assisted to make the annual show of the Methv*n Agricultural and Pastoral Association one of the most successful In its experience. Heavy rain overnight and threatening clouds in the morning created the tear that the long period of good fortune enjoyed by the association in ttie matter of weather would be interrupted, but early in the forenoon the clouds cleared off and a warm sunny day was enjoyed, me unfavourable morning probably kept a few visitors from a distance away, but they could not have been many, as the "gate” was only a few pounds bikrw that of last year-£125 as

against £129. The entries in the aggregate were a fiew less than last year, but this was not unexpected on account of the wet Mason. The sheep sections were thinly represented in some of the more Important breeds, and on -the whole thin important section of the show was scarcely up to the standard of last yyar Competition was weaker than it generally is at Methven.

Sheep Awards

Two of the most attractive classes on Saturday were the Romneys and Border Leicester. A. F. Marr showed * number of particularly good Romneys, and took all the major awards. Including the two championships and the two reserve tickets. The chainpion ram was a particularly good sheep. In the Border Leicester section R. J. Low and S. J. Lemon exhibited some good sheep, the former taking the two champion ribbons. Ther® were three competitors in tn® •English Leicester section, but the six classes comprised only 18 entries. The

championships were divided between R. J. Low and McDonald Brothers,'the former taking the ribbon for ram and the latter for ewe. There were 10 Southdowns forward, and R. J. Low was again the main prize-taker. The ram championship v/as annexed by his exhibit and the ewe by A. C. Campion. Ryeland attracted two breeders —L. and S. Galletly and H. C. B. Withell. The former took both championships and the latter the reserves. Gordon Johnston was the main exhibitor In a small display of Corriedales, taking the ram championship,

and J. H. Patterson the ewe. In halfbreds Bavfields estate and S. E. and L, L. Richards were the only exhibitors and in merinos R. C. Todhunter made a good display. There was better competition in flock sheep, the awards being well distributed. Fat sheep were fair, J. D. Galpin showing •ome good sorts, and though there was strong competition in fat lambs the quality was scarcely up to the high standard generally seen at Methven. Here again the awards were well dis-

tributed. . Cattle- were forward in limited j.umbers. although them were some nice cowis forward, in the dairy sections. < The Horses Draught horses naturally always Tuake a good display in a district •where so much cropping is in vogue, and on Saturday there was a good

showing of quality, if numbers were small in lhe older classes. The champion stallion was D. and W. E. Hampton’s yearling coll Canny Scot, a promising youngster. A, M. Leask’s three-year-old filly. Allandale Ann, took the ribbon lor marc and A. G. Holmes for gelding. The yearling ally class drew nine youngsters Into the ring, and they were a particu-

larly promising lot. The award went ioC.C. Holmes’s filly by Flash Print, 'fhe harvest has been very late this and there has been a good «j»«i more of if on account of. the jfnmmt of stacking, and It is natural that the classes for working draughts puffemd in the matter of entries. were no three or four-horse Peanog forward. Hackneys, as usual, made a great lUaptay, all the rings in the saddle ■Mfflnrm being well tilled. L. J. Fech-

yny hud a good run of successes with Sffa. two horses, winning the championSdp with Acena, and also the maiden Ca pod the 14-stone hack, whilst fcijwwvi award in the maiden hack and Mb U-stone hack and first in the Kiy*t hack went to his other entry, .KiMßlnl* These two . horses should ■Mute, prominently In future show i mm wUjtay are both good types. A |BMHipß|fl|eoad went to A. N. Grlgg’s each to Godfrey

Hall, J. S. LUley. and Misses A. and J. Irwin. The judge, Mr W. Hayward, wag very favourably impressed with the class of hackney brought before him. A good display of jumping was given, til© cup for best hunter being awarded to L. Jf Fechney with Lord Ranald. The other three events in the class were won by W. R. Leman's Armistice, who gave a good display. Ponies, as usual, were a very strong section, numerically as Well as in quality. Champion saddle pony was Miss Jeniffer Grigg’s Sixpence, and

the ribbon for best harness pony was taken by J. S. Lilley with Firearm. In the subsidiary sections there was a great display of working collies, vegetables, and field roots. Turnips drew keen competition. The weight of the lamb in the weight-estimating competition, for which there was a prize of £5, was 10411b. Five estimated the correct

weight—l. A. Hart, J. Ross. T. Middleton, T. Masefield, and A. C. Gadd. The following is the prize list, the figures within parenthesis Indicating the number of entries in the classes: SHEEP English Leicester (judge, Mr W. J. Jenkins)—Ram. two-shear or over (2): Mc-
