Little River A. and P. show draws record crowd

After a wet start to the week, t e sun shone for a record crowd att he Banks Peninsula Agricultural and Pastoral Association's annual show, at the Little River Domain on Saturday A picnic atmosphere prevailed € er the grounds and a large crowd stayed to watch the horse competitions which finished at about 7.15 p.m. Gate takings totalled a record <B4O an increase of SSB on last Although entries in some individual sections were down in ir.mber, the over all total of 2649 Was 348 more than last year. A r.ew section *‘or wine drew considerable interest, with 80 entiles in seven classes. Although there was no compefition for them, four pens each! r> f Hampshire and Suffolk, sheep' were exhibited The associationi secretary (Mrs N. Harmer) said it was hoped to encourage competition in these sections in’ future shows. Wood chopping drew much in-j terest. and a record entry was] received in a championship dogi competition organised by the Canterbury Kennel Club in conj nction with the Banks Penin- > da Agncuitural and Pastoral Association. Speaking after the grand parade, led by the Christchurch I Metropolitan Ladies' Highlands Pipe Band, the association presi-1 dent (Mr A. E. Birdlingi said the! iecord entries in most sections and large crowd indicated a tremendous interest in the show, j Xn apology, and best wishes! for a successful day were re-1 reived from Miss Colleen Dewe.j member of Parliament for Lyttelton, who opened last year's show. Miss Dewe said she would bp flying to Japan as a guest j of the Government there. Large entries were received in most classes for the horse section and the judge of the hacks, Mrs P- IL Crean, of Hawarden, was pleased with the numbers and high standard of entries. The presentation of some horses was spoiled as they were “over bitted,” she said. Mr M. T. Gottermeyer, of Christchurch, judge of the Ayrshire cattle section, found a high standard, with animals well brought out. Although classes were small, the animals would do well in any show, he said. Mr D. A. Anderson, of Htindalee. judge of the Perendale sheep, was pleased with the winners A. L. Fraser's champion j ram would do well in any show, he said. The judge of the dog section. Mr W. D. Gebbie, of Teddington. would like to have seen more entries in all classes. He was particularlv pleased with the short haired Collie (dog) class, where he found the dogs well presented.
