RAIN MARS ANNUAL SHOW AT HAWARDEN

Rain which fell steadily from early morning until mid-after-noon marred the opening of the Hawarden Agricultural and Pastoral Association’s annual show on Saturday. In spite of the weather, many attended the show and watched the ring events from the shelter of their cars.

Entries were the second highest for many years with considerable increases in the sheep, horse and pony classes. There were some withdrawals in the jumping events but, in general, the show ran to its full schedule except for the cancellation of the grand parade. Trade entries, of which there was a good showing, had a thorough drenching and many of the exhibitors packed up and left the grounds long before midday. Side shows suffered; similarly and several were dismantled and stowed on their trucks long before the majority of the public arrived. 7

Later in the afternoon the weather cleared and the ring events, including the jumping and F.E.I. events were completed in sunshine. A bitterly cold wind blew down from the ranges and most of the competitors kept their horses on the move. The president of the association (Mr W. Guthrie) said it. was a pity that Hawarden had suffered such a day, but the weather had had little effect on the enthusiasm of competitors. The committee had worked extremely hard in preparing for the show, and they were greatly appreciative of the residents of Hawarden and the surrounding districts who had turned out to support their local show. Sheep Exhibits

The over-all standard of the Corriedale rams was particularly high, said the judge, Mr R. Reid of Darfleld. There was some evidence of wool discolouration in some of the entries but this was probably due to the unseasonable weather. “Fleeces could have been much whiter, especially in some classes where sheep with first class carcases and conformations fell down in points because of their wool,” he said. The champion ram was really outstanding, and his owner, J. F. G. Blakely (Waikari) was to be complimented on such a fine animal. The ram had a wonderful boldness of stature and when let out Of the pen, stood like a real champion. The reserve champion ram shown by O. T. Evans (Taruna) followed the champion closely and there was little to choose between them. The ram lambs were most impressive,* Mr Reid said, and if anything, the natural condition classes slightly topped the open classes In quality. The lambs in general, however, were outstanding.

An interesting example of consistency of breeding was shown

by H. C. A. Sidey (Glenovis), whose prize-winning open ram lamb, natural condition lamb and pair of lambs were all from the same sire.

Judging the Corriedale ewes, Mr K. V. Hood, of Somerton, said the section was very even with some excellent sheep shown and with a very good over-all standard. The ewe lambs were

of high quality and were up to any show standard. They showed good . breeding and promise. There were a few really excellent sheep that lost points in their classes because of a tendency to wool blindness, Mr Hood said, but generally there was a good showing of open faces. The champion and reserve champion ewes, both exhibited by Mr Sidey, were two excellent sheep when out of the pens and this was where they showed their excellent carriage. “There is one thing which should be remembered,” Mr Hood said. There is a difference between judging at autumn shows and spring shows. In the spring the ewe is feeding both the lamb and the fleece and one can see how well she is doing the lamb. In the adtumn, the ewe is recovering and is feeding only the fleece.” „ The Southdown classes were, on the whole, most impressive, and the judge, Mr L. D. Adams of Sheffield, commented favourably on the over-all standard ' which in his opinion was very high. “The champion ewe exhibited by J. H. Paterson (Amberley) was a typical Southdown,” he said. “It was a solid, square and low set sheep with an excellent head and with the wool of a good colour, but it was beginning to show its age slightly. Flock sheep entries were of very high quality and the judge, Mr A. M. Saunders of Rakaia, said that he had been particularly impressed by the standard of entries in the pens of 10 ewes. Ewe hogget and hill country sheep were a little disappointing in numbers but the two-tooths were well represented and there was little to choose between them, he said. Horse Events The horse events in general were characterised by a very even standard of competition, not greatly affected by the condition of the ground, with riders and mounts performing well and giving good exhibitions of presentation and horsemanship. Jumping events were slightly depleted through withdrawals of entries but all the classes were well supported. The judge of the light horse events, Mr W. R. Lemon of Ashburton, was impressed by the narrow margins between the place-getters and commented favourably on the good production of the horses. The champion hack, High Noon, ridden by Mrs B. G. Rutherford was a high quality, well-turned out horse and the combination of rider and mount was most impressive. The champion cob, ridden by Mrs J. L. Smellie was a particularly nicely boned horse showing excellent conformation. Entries in the harness section were well turned out and were a credit to their owners, Mr Lemon said. The jumping was of high quality, allowing for the unfavourable conditions, he said, and very little separated the winers. The winning hunter, ridden by Mrs D. C. Gould, did a particularly even, smooth round and was well handled. Championships were awarded as follows:
