Polo Match Highlight Of Duvauchelle Show

A polo match among members of the Bank Peninrula Pony Club was one of the highlights of the Peninsula Hone Shew and Pastoral Association’s 49th annual show at Duvauchelie on Saturday. Conditions were very pleasant and, although there was some winu and cloud, it was never too hot and the grounds set above the head of Akaroa Harbour and surrounded by hills gave the show a feeling of truly representing the Peninsula farming community.

There was a good attendance, and gate takings increased to £9l 16s 7d, compared with £76 16s 9d last year. Entries were also a little higher than last year and of a very good standard.

The polo match was the result of the pony club’s trek a fortnight ago during which the members visited Decanter Bay and were taught the rules of the game by Messrs H and I. Menzies, members of the former Banks Peninsula Polo Club. The game of two chukkas was played by two teams of three and although the uneven ground and a rubber ball affected the speed and lift of the ball, the inexperience of the young riders, whose ages ranged from 13 to 16, was more than compensated for by their enthusiasm and the enjoyment of the spectators. The game, which was umpired by Mr H. Menzies, was won by two goals to one by the Blue team, Rex and Max Moore and Tiffany Stewart The Red team included Euan Moore, Raewyn Evans and Kathryn Evans. With the revival of interest in polo it is likely that a Banks Peninsula club may be reformed. In the show itself entries reflected the favourable season. Sheep and cattle entries were not large by other show standards but quality was good and in the horse and pony section the many entries reflected the fact that the horse still plays an important part in farming activities and for carrying children to school. The grand parade was led by the City of Christchurch Ladies’ Pipe Band and the champions were led by the champion hack. D. O. Masefield's Career. The cattle were headed by the champion of all breeds dairy cow, a Friesian exhibited by N. N. Mason. Judges* Comments Many of the horses were not in full show condition. Some carried too much condition and were a little sluggish, and others could have carried a little more. The judge of the hacks and hunters. Mr A. C. Wright iDunsandel). said that the top horses were quite good and up to the standard of a country show. What pleased him greatly was the support g:ven to the show by district competitors with working horses. He particularly ment oned A. R. Mcllraith and his horse Nobby, which iron the shepherd's hack class. Mr Mcllraith is a shepherd at Pigeon Bay. He Was also successful in the amateur photography classes and several of the photographs were of his horse. » Mr Wright awarded the champion hunter award to the reserve champion back, B. H. Black’s Frith and the reserve cnampion hunter was Mrs B. Maley’s Lady Argosy. Between these two and the winner of the maiden hunter class. B. H. Black's Domingo, there was less than a point in the scoring and the decision on the championship awards took into account soundness and conformation as well as jumping ability. In the pony classes the., Influence of pony club instruction was noticeable and a big proportion of the entries came from members of the Peninsula club, and the clubs from Little River and Ellesmere which were v. siting the show. There was aiso some very strong outside competition from young Christchurch exhibitors and riders. A brother and sister Won the two awards for riders over 10. They were Jacqueline and Nicholas Neill from Little River. tn the sheep classes the judge. Mr R. C. Smith, said that they were all well brought out. In some of the Downs there Was a tendency to wool blindness and some carried too much condition. The wool of the Romneys was bright and lustrous. The cattle entries were pleasing and some very good exa moles of th® Friesian and Ayrshire breeds were included. They were judged by Mr E. L. Adams, of Brookside. „ There were two exhibit* for farmer*. MidCanterbury branch of the New Zealand Farm Forestry Aaaocia* tion displayed examples of actable trees and planting, methods and the district weeds inspector staged an exhibit of noxious weeds. Including nassella tussock.
