EASTER SHOW

Awards For Needlework and Model-making KEEN COMPETITION Judging of the needlework and model making sections at the Wellington Easter Show and Industrial Exhibition was completed yesterday. In both sections competition was keen, particularly so in the sewing and knitting. The crochet work was of a specially high standard, and the stalls devoted to this section of the show proved extremely attractive to the women visitors. In the model making section, many of the exhibits, particularly the marine and aero engines, showed the highest degree of accuracy and finish, and were the embodiment of mechanical perfection.

PUSHBALL CONTESTS Second Round Results The second round of the push-ball contests at the Easter Show, played before a large number of spectators last night, provided a number of close games.

The leading teams are Woolworths Head Office, D.1.C., Bing Harris B, Bryant, May and Bell. Sargood, Son and Ewen A, with two wins each. There are sixteen teams entered. Results last night were as follow: — Bryant, May and Bell beat C.M.C. A, 1-nil; D.I.C, beat Standard Motor Bodies, 4J-nii; Bing Harris B beat Atlantic Union, 1-nil; Woolworths. Head Office, beat Island Bay B, 1-nil; Bing Harris A beat AVoolworths, Willis Street, ■ 2-nil; Sargood, Son and Ewen A, won by default.

The third round will be played in the Stadium on Monday night.

The games were preceded by a clever display by Y.M.C.A. Gymnasium pupils.

TELEGRAPH OFFICE DISPLAY

Much interest is being displayed in the Post and Telegraph Department’s stall at the show, where teleprinters, the tape machines o£ the telegraph oflice, are to be seen working. These machines transmit and receive telegraphic messages, automatically and simultaneously, at the rate of 6G words a minute. Not only do they receive and send simultaneously over a single wire, but they print the inward message on a gummed paper tape, ready to be cut up and stuck on to the telegraph form. A still more ingenious machine is shown, which both receives and sends four messages simultaneously, at a slightly lower speed, .thus—• though it seems almost incredible—eight messages are passing along the same wire at the same time, four in each direction. At the same stall visitors are handed tickets entitling them to free demonstration telephone calls to any New •

Zealand post office, and at certain hours to Sydney also. Sydney calls cannot be made to any person stipulated by the visitor, as can New Zealand calls, but messages given will be banded on to the desired recipient.

PETS’ PARADES TO-MORROW

To-morrow afternoon young animallovers will be able to demonstrate their pets’ prowess at the Easter show, for there are to be two pets’ parades, for cash prizes. Any pets may be entered, “from white mice to elephants,” as anofficial expressed it. During the parades—the first, for children under eight years old, at 3.30 p.m.; Ihe seeomL for those between 8 and IS, at 3.45 p.m.—children are Invited to persuade their pets to demonstrate any tricks they may know. The results should prove entertaining.
