49th ANNUAL SHOW HELD BY MALVERN ASSOCIATION

Gate takings at the Malvern Agricultural and Pastoral Association’s forty-hinth annual show at Sheffield on Saturday set a new record for the association. Though a specific figure was not available on Saturday, it was stated late in the afternoon that last year’s record would be exceeded. The association had a perfect calm sunny autumn afternoon for its show, after threatening low cloud early m the day and a chill wind. Entries for the show were again at a high level at more than 2000. A notable increase in entries was recorded in the cattle section in which there were nearly 30 per cent. more. Jerseys and Ayrshires were particularly strongly represented. Mr J. R. White, who reviewed the 62 Jersey entries, described the whole section as one of merit and said that for an autumn show the animals had been brought forward in particularly good condition.

The champion cow was S. C. Skurr’s Tolgarth Elmana which had already taken several championships at Canterbury shows, including the Jersey show at Christchurch last November. She was an outstanding animal displaying true Jersey characteristics, said Mr White. Close to her as the reserve champion was L. P. Hawke’s Glenmore Flashlight Bess, a cow carrying more age, which counted against her. The champion bull was Mrs J. E. M. Dickie’s Pinecrest Olga’s Forward, a North Island-bred animal which the judge said would hold his own in strong competition. Amongst the Ayrshire cows the judge, Mr A. E. Williams, found very strong competition in the aged class from which he selected his champion and reserve champion—W. J. L. Chambers and Sons’ Allandale Laura and J. Jefferies’s Ardgowan Dianna—cattle which he said would hold their own in any of the big shows. Allandale Laura also had the distinction of being the best dairy cow in the show. Mr Williams awarded the bull title to R. H. MacKenzie’s Rossshire Snowboy. The general standard was up to that seen at other Canterbury shows, he said, but there was some variation in the quality of the young stock, some of which showed much promise. Others were forward in relatively hard condition—probably tn account of the dry weather. The sheep in the Border Leiceser, English Leicester and Romney sections had come through the summer exceptionally well—the climatic conditions seemed to have suited them as their wool was in first-class order, said Mr G. G. Low, who judged these breeds. In the English Leicesters antf Border Leicesters, entries were small, he said, but the sheep were “quite a select lot.” J. D. Paterson’s champion Border Leicester ewe was a really good sheep. Among the Romneys Mr Low found a sprinkling of sheep that appealed to him very much. One of these was the champion ewe from J. H. K. Woodhouse.

Commenting on the Southdowns, Ryelands and South Suffolks, the judge, Mr Melville Brooks, said that there was excellent competition throughout, and the old sheep were a very good lot The colour of the younger sheep could have been better “but in general I found the standard very good,” he said.

Mr I. C. Grierson, who judged the fat sheep and fat lambs, also said the sheep were showing that they had come through a particularly good season. Exhibitors were to be congratulated, he said, on the quality of the entries in the section. Naturally at this time of the year the fat lamb section did not attract very many entries, but the judge found the quality of those lambs penned to be very good, particularly the heavier weights. The arrangement of the potatoes, vegetables, roots, and small seeds in rows outside is a feature of the Sheffield show, and this year potatoes of many varieties and colours occupied about one and a half rows. The judge, Mr R. G. Jolly, said that the section was the strongest at anv Canterbury show. All he said, were very strong and the potatoes were well presented. Next year the association will hold its fiftieth show, and plans are afoot to make this more than an ordinary event. Championship awards were made as follows: Horses.—Hack; Miss Judith Bell.
