Peoples Day At The Royal Show

A FITTING CLIMAX

1 Highly Successful Last Day — 9 . PARADE WATCHED BY BIG CROWD FROM TOWN AND COUNTRY A grand parade which everyone agreed it would be difficult to excel anywhere in the Dominion was a fitting climax to People’s Day at the Royal Show yesterday. During its three days the show went from success to success, records were being spoken of in every direction, and generally there was complete unanimity that this 1936 show was the best the' city has seen for many years, if not the best yet. But it took the grand finale of an outstandingly successful People’s Day to give the show its right to being described as one of the most successful yet held in the Dominion. i To justify the name People’s Day, people literally flocked to the Show Grounds. Warm, promising weather assisted in attracting a huge crowd, which packed tightly round the oval, among the exhibition pens, and in the side-show alleys. Thousands came from the country and many more thousands from the city. For practically all the afternoon the big main stand was filled with a gaily dressed crowd, which was evidence of the appeal which the shew has for town and country folk alike. They w r ere standing dozens deep on the grassy banks as well, and from all round the oval cheered enthusiastically the splendid parade of stock of all classes and later cheered as women riders and horsemen raced over fences and hurdles for trophies of good horsemanship. Yesterday, perhaps mere than at any recent show, it was impossible to avoid being made conscious of the new lease of life which the country is giving the horse. The space taken up by farm and saddle horses in the grand parade, the applause of the crowd for horse events, and the keen interest maintained in the activities cf the horses all showed how warm a place the horse still has in the affections of all people. Last of all, there came the cheers from the oval as hounds and horses swept down the green in an exhibition appearance.

In the Ring The ring events were easily the most interesting m that class during the show, and held the attention of many thousands of spectators right through the afternoon. They were mainly finals, and as was to be expected the standard of riding and jumping v, as notably high. The jumping events have always been a great attraction, and yesterday offered no %TCeption. The huge crowd seemed to be quite unanimous about its fondness for horse events. Naturally all interest centred on the fraud parade. This was the cujmineting triumph of the show, and the executive and officials ox the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association must have been proud men to see. moving slowly round the oval, that splendid array oi noble animals —prancing horses, xrom proud, stamping Clydesdales to the Cniest ponies; magnificent cattle representing anima-s witn imposing xamily-trees; splendid trade turnouts, and harness outiiis. Interest Maintained But interest could not flag after the parade, the organisation of the Show seeing to it that there were events in the ring which kept people m their seats all the afternoon. Right to the final event, the interesting finish to the sheep dog trial, although it was very nearly 6 p.m., there were thousands of spectators showing the keenest interest in what was happening. In fact there have been few shows, however, well organised and run that have been able to keep the public there in such numbers until the late afternoon. On one small part of the enclosure in front of the • main stand was the display of trophies which were competed for during the Show. Tnese farmers’ trophies represent one of the finest collections ot the kind in the Dominion, and distinguished visitors to the show, including the GovernorGeneral, Lord Gaiway and Lady Galway the Marquess of Hartington, Sir Edward Harding, and the Minister for Agriculture, the Hon. W. Lee Martin, all inspected the splendid array ot cups and shields. Lord Hartington’s reception and brief address was the only official function of the day. The side-shows had the finax word in the show, remaining open during the evening and attracting thousands, yesterday sideshowmen said that this

year’s show had given them the biggest returns they have had for some years. “It is just like old times.” said one genial man who has been in sideshow alley at Addington for more years than most of the young people spending their money at his stall could remember. His opinion seemed to be shared hy a good many of the man plying the same trade. THE GRAND PARADE An impressive illustration of the quality of the stock resources of the Dominion was provided by the Grhnd Parade. Although only selected competitors took part in the parade, there was nevertheless a very large muster of animals, the Clydesdales numbered 41, the best display of this breed of horse seen for many years. As the animals were all formed up in front of the grandstand they were greeted with prolonged applause from one of the largest crowds ever seen at the Addington Show Grounds. Headed by the Canterbury Scottish Pipe Band, with Mr K. W. Locnhead in his traditional position supporting tne pipe-major, the great display oi cattle was tne first to be seen and th< beasts moved majestically around tne ring beiore lading up uieir positions m me iron! oi tne ring, rhe bnor,.norn cattle, led by Princeton Lomond, me champion uu.., oreu oy ms majc.sL,y me King on fiis maigary iancn, iormea a striKmg display. rhey were 101lowed oy a particularly strong exhioit of Friesians, 34 in an, wmea maae a Deautixui picture in their strixing biacK and wnue colouring, ihe a ,very much improved mass, were tne strongest numerically; there were 37 anirrims oi tins uitcu, comprising n Duns ana 20 cow's ana heifers, 'mere were 30 Mnkmg Snortnorns, 19 Ayrshires, 25 Kea Pons, 8 iiereiords, 5 Aberdeen Angus, ana 14 Guernseys.

Finally came the harness horses and the tradesmen’s turn-outs.

HORSES

Various sections of horses were judged yesterday—in the main saddle horses and ponies and hunters. The carriers’ and tradesmen’s turn-' outs wfere included in yesterday’s events. In no respect, however, did the display come up to that of recent years. It was the one weak spot of the nerse display as a whole, not on account ot the quality of the exhibits, but because of the sparse entries. As a matter of fact, there were only 13 entries in 14 classes, no entry at all coming forward in eight of the classes. Amongst tne missing this year were the spectacular six-in-hand pantechnicon teams shown by J. M. Heywood and Co., and the New Zealand Express Company. Apparently in these days of fast moving road transport there is no place for big teams of lorry horses, and so the stylish six-in-hands which have raised tne enthusiasm of many show crowds in the parades of recent years have had to go. It is scarcely likely that they will come back. There was wide regret expressed at their passing. _ ... Hayward and Company, J. and W. Jamieson, Ltd., and Sleeman and Hibbard were tne principal prize-takers in ihe cart horse classes yesterday', but, as stated, competition was negligible. TROTTING AND PACING HORSES There was quite good competition in the section for pacers and trotters. The judge, Mr H. C. Washer (Hawera) considered that the class for aged pacing stallions was a particularly good one. The well-performed Jack Potts — at the stud as well as on the track — shown' by C. S. Donald, was given the premier award over three others, and the same exhibitor scored with the trotting entire, Calmet Axworth (imp.). Seven mares were entered in the brood class, and J. D. Litten scored with a Logan Pointer mare. Logan Lass. The two to trotter class drev/ only the one entry, but there was a fine showing of seven in the class of similar age for pacers E. Carlyon wining with a filly by Man o’ War, which the judge considered a very fine specimen of the pacer fraternity. In the mare or gelding class trotter class, action to be considered, E. E. Lilley’s Midnieht scored a win. and in the pacer class, with similar conditions, A. J. Higgs prevailed with Sans Peur. The section as a whole was the best for some years, both in the matter of numbers and in quality. SADDLE HORSES Saddle horses comprised a record entry, approximately 150 coming forward in the nine classes comprising the section. A. feature was the absence of many of the older generation cf horses that have been prominent in the show rings for many years. A large crop of young “hacks” is coming on. but a substantial proportion of the horses exhibited yesterday still require a lot of schooling to bring them'up to the standard of those they have replaced. As a matter of fact, lack of schooling was the most apparent weakness of the display. There was a time when the last stage of a thoroughbred’s career was in the livery stables, where it earned a certain if restricted revenue for the owners. Since this last stage has disappeared it would seem>that the show ring has taken its place. Yesterday a big proportion of the entry in the hackney section comprised thoroughbreds. Fed up to show condition, and with little work, added to ■which might be some irascibility of temper as a result of their racecourse experience it is nerhaps not unnatural that in cases these thoroughbreds have an argument with their riders as to who is master. The show ring, however, is scarcely the place to determine that point. Apart from this, there was an outstanding display of quality horseflesh. .The section was judged by Mr J. Brice iMarton). The class for best mannered and paced hack drew 18 entries, which included many of the prominent provincial winners, with in cases past metropolitan awards also to their credit. The class was a difficult one for the judge to separate in the matter of quality, but obviously the manners of A. N. Grigg’s Sacks determined in that horse’s favour any doubts that may have existed. Sacks is a model hack in this respect, and later he was decorated with the chamoion ribbon of the section. Miss Rona Little’s Trouble Maker was second in the class, and Miss M. Orbell’s Fortnum third. The 15-stone roadster, consideration being given to the horse showing most thoroughbred blood, attracted a moderate field of nine and a well-performed exhibitor at South Canterbury shows, m Mirs S. Orbell’s Tycho, took the award. L. J. Fechney being second, and Miss. Edgar-Jones third. Fourteen entered in the class for 13 stone hacks, consideration also being given in this class to the horse showing the most thoroughbred blood. A. N. Grigg’s Sacks was preferred, with Mrs J. Montgomery’s Tiger second and Miss J. Orbell’s Gambler third. The section was an outstanding one, and even after the first half dozen were

taken out, there was enough quality left for a good display. The 11 stone hack was the most difficult class for the judge, the 18 comprising it including a great showing of horseflesh. Mrs J. H. Grigg secured the award with Haldon. Miss C. Black being second with Larrikin, and Miss P. Orbell third with Marquis. The 23 entries in the 11 stone maiden roadster class included many that had been beaten in the earlier rings, and the field was promptly narrowed down to half a dezen, of which Miss C. Black’s Larrikin was the ticket winner, with Miss P. Orbell’s Marcus second, and Miss M. Orbell’s Fortnum third. A record entry of 29 paraded in the class for ladies; hacks, and they made a spectacular display. Some of the previous winners, in the section failed to come up to the requirements cf a lady’s hack with the same success as in the other sections. The red ribbon was attached to Mrs J. H. Grigg’s Haldon. with Miss C. Black’s Larrikin second, and Miss P. Orbell’s Marcus third, the two other place-getters being Mrs J. Montgomery and Miss M. Orbell.

The class for journey horse, suitable for a 13-stone man. drew a big field of 21. and here again A. N. Grigg’s Sacks predominated, with Miss M. Orbell’s Tycho second and Mrs J. Montgomery’s Tiger third. Most of the entry well met the conditions of the class. The best hunter class was contested by a smaller ring of 10, and a very creditable display was given by the first half dozen competitors. The conditions provided for horses which had hunted with a recognised pack in the last two years, up to. 12 stone and over, the winner to hold for the year the Challenge Cup, given by Mr D. W. Westenra. H. D. Greenwood’s Bay Rhum took the event with a clean display, Miss H. A. and. W. R. Lemon’s Armistice being second and B, G Rutherford’s White Heather third. The class for mare or gelding, most suitable for mounted rifle work, was poorly contested, cnly three horses coming forward, Miss H. A. and W. R Lemon winning, with T. Masefield second. The championship won by A. N, Grigg with Sacks, took with it MisS Betty Harper’s silver challenge cup. SADDLE COBS AND PONIES This section was another one of record numerical strength, the entry comprising 192, as against 156 last year. The display was an astonishing one for the number of ponies, and also for th 3 juvenility of many of the youngsters competing. The judge confessed that it was the best display of ponies he had ever seen, although he could not speak of a wide experience in the North Island of pony displays. The ponies were so even in quality that it. was only the question of manners that finally determined the award. It was essential that ponies for children’s use should be quiet and good- ' mannered. Altogether, he thought the section was a splendid one. It is unusual to see six pony stallions paraded, but in the 14 hands and under class, this was the number yesterday. R. J. Chapman’s pony scored. In the stallion class, not more Than 12.2 nands, O. Digby took the award from two others. Pony brood mares, not more than 12 hands produced a small ring of three, and in not over 14 hands four paraded, the respective winners being Miss M. Phillips and H. S. S. Kyle. The small pony classes drew a great array. Miss Diana Rutherford scored for under 11 hands; D. H. Grigg the not over 11,2 class;. Miss Joan Williamson not over 12.2, with Trixie, who was decorated with the championship ribbon for ponies within this standard; M. £. Jenkins, for maiden pony not over 13 hands, in which class there was an exceptionally large entry of 20. and Mr Jenkins also with the same pony, Spec, in the open 13 hands class, in which there were 13 entries. In the class for 13.2 ponies, for girls, there was an entry of 13, Miss Edgar Jones winning with Flashlight, and in the similar class for boys, which drew *ll, N. Newton won. A big ring of 22 competed in the maidenpony class, not over 14 hands, and Ken Chapman, with Kitty Winkle, won the ticket, and also' took the champion ribbon for ponies of that standard. Miss N. Newton being second. In the corresponding open class, Ken Chapman again won with Dapple, from 12 ethers. Ten paraded in the class for ponies not over 14.2, A. W. B. McMillan scoring from H. M. Burgin. Several well-performed ponies did not get into the prize list. The three cob classes were keenly contested. In that for maiden cobs not over 14 hands, in which there were 18 entries, Miss L. M. Lemon’s Tattler secured the award with C. G. Jarman’s Colleen second, and Miss H. G. Rich third. In the open class, not over 15 hands, 10 came into the ring, and Miss Rona Little’s Kildare scored from Miss Lemon’s Tinker. In the cob class not over 14.2 hands. H. M. Burgin’s Carnival was giverfthe ticket, and also the cob championship. Miss Maginness being second with Scandal, and J. S. Lilley third with Firearm. HUNTERS Exceptionally heavy entries were the rule in the hunter events, which were judged by Mr J. Brice, of Marton. The wire event drew no fewer than 29 horses. A fair proportion of this big list took the wire cleanly, a number sailed through it and others again past it, the exhibition not being pne of the best. Miss J. Grbell’s Gambler gave the best display and took the avgprd,

with Mrs J. Montgomery’s Tiger second and Miss Edgar Jones’s Kohinoor third In the lady’s hunter competition there was another big competing list of 23, and a good display. Miss A. J. Nicoll’s Jingler took the senior award, with H. D. Greenwood’s Bay Rhum second and Mrs H. Scales’s Clinker third. The open hunters’ event attracted a huge ring of 37 competitors, and there was a really good display of clean jumping. The North Island champion Clinker, redeemed his earlier failures by giving a faultless exhibition and taking the award. Eric Jackson’s Brisk being second and A. J. Nicoll’s Jingler third. The highly capable performances of many of the horses were heartily applauded. The han.dv hunters’ competition, instituted in recent years, has not been notable for clever jumping, but there was no circnlaint on this score yesterday. as far - as the majority of the 21 competitors were concerned. The intricate course, which included the jumping into and out of a small hurdledin space, taxed both the cleverness of the horses and the equestrianism of the riders, but the first half dozen or more covered the circuit with little bungling. Miss J. Orbell again scored with Gambler. Mrs M. Bethell being second with John Peel and Miss Cushla Rutherford third with Dandy. The dual jumping event drew an entry of nine pairs, and the Misses M and P. Orbell won the event with Fortnum and. Marcus, Misses K. and C. Rutherford being second with Nancy Stair and Dandy, and Misses S. and J. Orbell third .with Tycho and Gambler. The event produced some good combined jumping.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS SPECTATORS FROM GREAT BRITAIN ADDRESS BY LORD HARTINGTON Their Excellencies, Lord and Lady Galway, the Marquess of Hartington, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, and Sir Edward Harding, Permanent Undersecretary of State in the Dominions Office, were distinguished guests at the Royal Show yesterday. They all spent some time inspecting the exhibits and watching ring events, and were interested spectators during the grand parade. Lord Hartington briefly addressed the crowd, after receiving a welcome irom the president of the Royal Agricultural Society of New Zealand, Mr L. J. Wild. He said he was delighted to be able to attend the’show, and the high-class draught horses he had seen had given him particular pleasure. “I suppose that it is impossible to fight against progress, and in a way wrong to deplore its effects,” said Lord Hartington. ’"but I think that anyone with the interests of the land at heart must deplore the passing of the horse, After all. the horse eats nothing that does not come from the land. He is (he farmer’s best customer in that way. The fuel used to drive the motor engine, which has displaced the horse, does not come from t,he land.” Lord Hartington, who represents one of the most rural constituencies in Great Britain, said that, after travelling thousands of miles in the last few weeks, it was pleasant to return to “this home atmosphere.” hearing the same talk and seeing the same types of stock to which he was accustomed. FIRST AID SERVICE KEPT BUSY The three depots of the St. John Ambulance Association, which were placed at strategic poirits in the grounds, were kept busy throughout the day in treating injuries and attending to the hundred and one minor mishaps which befall .members of a large crowd —almost inevitably it seems—when they attend any openair function. Of the more serious cases treated by officers of tire association there were a horseman who had received a kick on the head, and a groundsman who had severely' torn and lacerated a thumb in hammering pegs in the ring. Several cases of collapse were treated by the nurses, these including two women workers in the tea-rooms. In. addition to providing dressings for a multitude of minor cuts and abrasions, the association provided a very useful service in looking after lost ch.ldren until their parents were able to gravitate towards the depots 'to reclaim their wandering offspring.

SECOND DAY’S JUDGING MANY VISITORS ATTEND Dog fanciers from all over New Zealand made their way to the Canterbury Kennel Club’s big stand at Show Grounds yesterday, when the club hel the second day of its thirty-flrstannua show.

THE GATE TAKINGS

It *vas apparent from an early hour yesterday that the attendance at People’s Day of the 1936 Royal Show would be far ahead of the previous Royal Show held at Christchurch in 1931. The number of cars alone admitted to the grounds provided ample evidence of a substantial increase in attendance. and at the close of the day the treasurer, Mr J. O. McGiUivray, estimated that the total takings for the three days would be well m excess Of £3OOO. Mr McGiUivray added that he expected the figures would come very close to the total for the 1927 Royal Show, £3302. Commenting on the results of the show last evening, the secretary, Mr M E. Lyons, said the attendances had been very gratifying. The was particularly welcome, as further reductions had been made, since the last Royal Show, in the charges tor both members’ cars and non-members cars. ~ j .

WORK OF BLIND CRAFTSMEN SUCCESS OF ROTARY CLUB’S STALL With takings approximately £4O in excess of those at the Metropolitan Show last year, the Christchurch Rotary Club tent, which was conducted for the sale of goods produced by the Jubilee Institute for the Kind at Auckland, had a very successful season. Every year the club undertakes the sale of basketware and seagrass furniture made by the inmates, as a means of swelling the funds of the institute, and under the leadership of Mr C. E. Jones a strong appeal was made to the public yesterday to patronise the stalls. The total takings for the show amounted to £192, and Mr Jones last evening said he was very well satisfied with the generous response that had been made by the Canterbury public. Louise 3.
