AMBERLEY SHOW

EXCELLENT FAT LAMB ENTRY LIGHT HORSES OF HIGH STANDARD

For many years the AmMHey Agricultural and Pastoral Association's annual show has been outstanding for Its displays of fat sheep and lambs. At yesterday’s annual show, Amberley still held its place as the premier fat lamb show in Canterbury. .• ' This season there has been an abundance of feed, and conditions generally have been favourable. The fat Samba have benefited and those shown yesterday would have compared more than favourably with these at afay other show in New Zealand. It was considered the best fat lamb show held for years In the South Island. There, was no "toil, the over-all standard being Vefy high. The narrowest margins separated the placed sheep from the other entries, many of the lambs which were not placed being worthy of a prize. Competition was vary keen, breeders from outside the district entering lambs. A class which again attracted good entries and in which keen interest was shown, was that far lambs drafted by a farmer or his employee. The skill of matching lambs was evident. Southdowns, the-strongest sheep class numerically, were of a high standard. The top sheep were of the highest standard, although there was a slight “tail.” A.-D. Wyllie won the ram championship with an animal bred by H. J. Andrew. A worthy specimen of its breed, it had a strong head and good carcase. Jas. Petrie and Son, with a sheep of their own breeding, won the award for the champion ewe. The other awards in this class were spread evenly among a number of prominent breeders. South Suffolk sheep, which are rapidly gaining in popularity, were again well represented by a good lot. The championships for ewes and rams went to J. L. and L. G. Smellle. who exhibited some sheep of a high quality. S. H. Gardiner was another successful breeder in this class. The only exhibitor In the Dorset Horn section was the estate of E. Gardiner. These sheep were of a good Quality. „ . The Corriedales were well supported, the championship award for ewes and rams going to A. M. and T. R. Saunders with sheep of their own breeding. This section was of a high standard. Some prominent breeders put forward sheep. The halfbred section was well filled with sheep of a high quality. A UncolnMerino ram, bred and exhibited by P. Rivers, won the championship award, and F. Busch’s Lincoln-halfbred was judged the champion ewe. B. T. Inkson also gained a number of placing* in this section with sheep of a high quality. Romney Marsh and English Leicester classes were not represented. A patron of the association (Mr E. S. Taylor), who died on Thursday, would have been the only dkhibitor in these classes, but because of his death the sheep were not entered.

The light horses were of a high standard. E. G. O. Rutherford’s and Mrs Rutherford's Killarney was judged the champion hunter from a strong and wellfilled class. Mrs B. G. Rutherford’s Manella was the champion saddle horse, and Mrs Ivan Wood, who was successful in classes at the Ashburton show on Thursday, won the champion harness horse award with Mascot. The ponies were of a high standard, and awards were evenly spread. Cattle of High Standard The cattle, practically all Jerseys, were of r high standard, but the younger animals. especially the heifers, were a little on the small side. The champion dairy cow, W, J. Russell's Roseneath Gamboge Anne, which was also judged the champion Jersey cow, was of excellent quality, with an outstanding udder development. She would hold her own in any ring. R W. Frost's Silverlea Viscount, a winner at previous shows, was judged the chatn« pion bull. The entries totalled 1337, a decrease of 130 on the record entries last year. Ponies showed an increase, as well as cattle. Sheep were down on last year, and light horses showed a slight decrease. The gate receipts of £lOO were about £5O less than last year, mainly because the show had to be held on a Friday. Last year the show was held on a Saturday. The weather was flne. Championship awards were made as follows :
