Some Expert Opinions. . ' The cattle were considered of. .good I': Quality in all departments. , The fault found, with the Jorsey division wits-that, it was too small in num- • ' bers. For, some reason all the entries •made did not corned forward/ Hovrever, tho quality of the stock was not com-, ■plained' of. but, on the other hand,'was liigh'.y praised. : ' ' Mr.". C. T. Barriball, the judge of the Holsleins, declared that the Holsteins in the pens at Carterton were a splendid lot, which could be shown with CTedit in any 'ring in New- Zealand.;, Some ... of. the.; tests lie had to . judge 'were, he". ' said, exceptionally' creditable. Unfortunaiely, :he added, ' tliero were not . i-unough entries. • ; . _ ! The; entries in the seed and- grain ' classes'were very light, according to Mr. ... Leigh Hunt, the judg?. . He said; that I he was sorry that,such, was tho case in a country like this. He regretted that '.Fo . few . farmers entered into these coni" . tests, and left the . field- to ; merchant firms almost entirely/ ' Mr. T. B. Fleminsr. 'Chief Inspector of . Schools , in; the Wellington district, judged' the exhibits made by school childV rcn. • no .thought that'it showed that ' the : pfiople of the district, took''an in- :' terest -in" the children of the Wnirarapa • when they offered such-gopd-prizes for 'competition . among ' tho boys • and' tho ?irls.
