SUMMER SHOW

SUCCESSFUL OPENING DAY ATTRACTIONS FOR AIL The fifty-second annual summer show of the Otago A. and P. Society is one of the most attractive and comprehensive that has yet been held. All round, tho stock js of high quality, a credit to the province, and tho numerous agricultural and commercial exhibits all have new features to make them more than usually interesting. Yesterday afternoon a large crowd viewed the various exhibits, watched the competitive events, and made merry in the numerous side-shows. The arrangements of the committee for tho convenience of exhibitors and tho public were excellent. Further judging results of the stock are as follow: CATTLE JERSEYS. Judge: Mr G. Mulligan, Jersey Oaks, Hastings, Cow, in milk, calved prior to July I, 1925. —David Wright’s (Palmerston) Juanita’s Fairy (by Golconda’s Repreamer—Juanita’s Girl) 1 and champion, R.

Bull, calved since June 30, 1927.—E. M. Cameron’s Patricia’s Golden Laddio (by Bay Rood Good Boy—lvandale Patricia) 1, D. Wright 2, John Hellyer 3, A. B. Carey (Lower Harbour) h.c. , Mr Milligan stated that the quality of the exhibits as a whole was very creditable to this district, and that the animals which entered the ring would compare quite favourably with the stock seen in the North Island. entries were good, and the competition was keen. A display of Jersey cattle would hardly seem to be complete unless the name of Hcllycrs (of Northeast Harbour' 1 who have specialised in this breed for very many years, figured in the prize list. A few other breeders, however, have, come to the front lately, including Messrs R. Riddle (Palmerston) and D. Wright (Palmerston), both of whom met with a gratifying measure of success yesterday. The championship in the female section was won by Mr Wright’s Juanita’s hairy, wliich was placed second at the Oamaru Show. She is an exceptionally good cow, with a fine body and a nice vessel, and thoroughly deserved the honour she received in being awarded the championship. Mr Riddle secured _ second place and reserve championship with Braithwaitc’s Grace, which showed o-reat quality, but which did not_ have quite the body possessed by the winner. The animals which secured first and second place in the class for three-year-old heifers in milk —Mr Hellyer s Collingwood’s Choice Girl and the same owner’s Holmvale Patch respectively—were quite outstanding, said the judge* itud would compare favourably with anything in the North Island. t The best two of the two-year-old heifers were very nice animals, with wellshaped vessels. Messrs Riddle and Wright showed very fine heifers in the yearling class, and the winner had a magnificent body. There were seven entries in the class for aged bulls, and all of them wore good enough to appear in any show ring. Mr Wright s Glen Morvis Resembler was placed first, and was subsequently awarded the reserve championship. Mr Cameron’s Fairy Golden Oxford was placed third, hut it is understood that ho travelled a long distance, and appeared to be empty; otherwise he might _ have secured a Higher place. Mr Wright’s Collingwood’s Perfect Boy secured pride of place in the two-year-old class and also the championship. He was placed first and reserve champion at Oamaru last week. Mr Cameron’s Patrician Golden Laddie, which won in the yearling class, attracted the Judge’s attention as outstanding in quality, being quite as good as any he had the pleasure of placing. Mr Wright’s entry, which was placed second, was also a good animal.

FRIESIANS. Judge. Mr H. 11. Green, Palmerston North.

The following are the remaining awards in the Friesian cattle section :

Champion cow.—T. R. Eades’s (Edondalel Dutch Catalje Queen (by King of Damonis). Reserve champion cow.—T. Hewitt’s Goodwood Rosevale Inka Sylvia Beauty (by Rosevale Inka Sylvia Model—Rosedale Beauty Posch) Mr Green said that he was agreeably surprised at the quality, which was very good, and the way the cattle were prepared. The winning aged cow was an outstanding animal and one that would be very hard to beat in any of the other shows held in Now Zealand She was one of the nicest hind-quartered cows it had ever been his pleasure to work on. The second cow was quite a good animal, but a little too near to calving to show herself at her best. (She calved on Wednesday night.) In the dry cow class the first and second cows were of almost equal merit. In the two and three-year-old classes the winners were outstanding in their respective companies. The other exhibits were all quite creditable..

In the bull? .section Mr Green said, that to separate the first, and second, animals was one of the hardest propositions he had ever had to tackle. It was his opinion that both bulls would have won prizes at tho Royal Show, this year They, .would be a credit to any herd they happened to be in. The winner of the yearling bulls’ class wa« a nice animal, and the others were good, but not particularly outstanding. AYRSHIRES. Judge: Mr G. Carter, Greytown. Awards in the Ayrshire section, which were available too late for publication last evening, are as follow; Bull and two of his progeny.—Gillies Brothers 1 Champion cow.—A _E. Wright (Edendale), Braemar Sylvia, by . Digger of Goodwood—Florrie 11. of Awanm. Reserve champion cow.—A. M. Weir (Monzie’s Ferry), Ivanhoe Lady Magnet, by Porinia Style lll.—lvanhoe Dandy. ' Champion bull.—Gillies Bros., Zealand Grandeur, by Forest Braes Grandeur—Naomi I.

Reserve champion bull.—George Fox, (P.iile Hill), Lord Clyde, by Solomon of Haydowns—Alice 111. of Inglewood. Mr Carter, who judged the Ayrshire cattle, stated that in the aged cow class there were some splendid exhibits, and, needless to say, the cow that won the championship was of outstanding con-' stitution and great quality—a cow that, would not only have held her own, but which would probably have scored over all others at the Royal Show in Palmerston North. The owner (Mr A. M. Weir, Menzie’s Perry) was to be congratulated on his animal. The second cow also was very nice, but she lacked a little head quality. In the three-year-old section Mr Weir showed another animal which was outstanding. She had a perfect vessel and a great capacity for carrying milk. Taken all through the class was a very strong one. The two-year-old: were all very pleasing, but they did not attain the; nigh standard ot the three-year-olds. Splendid quality and constitution were (he conspicuous characteristics of the dry cow class. The two-year-olds, however. were not quite up to the standard of the others. The yearlings were a nice even lot, which would have held their own anywhere in tho dominion. In the aged bull class Mr Weir had bod luck with his Bonny Glen Master Roberts, which unfortunately had gone lame. However Mr Gillies, who won this section and also the bull with two ot his progeny class, exhibited some outstanding animals. The two-year-olds were a well balanced lot and were true to type. HUNTING COMPETITION As is only natural, a competitive event attracts mo-e attention from the general public than does any other, and for this reason the hunting competition created a tremendous amount of interest. And the crowd which lined the rails were in no wise disappointed at the display. The animals were good to look upon and the horsemanship was excellent. Of the twelve competitors only one fell, that being Mr H. Stuart Jones’s Ngawere. which failed to clear the post and rail on the second round. The rider (F. Brown) was thrown heavily, landing on tho back of his head. He was attended by Dr Linden, who ascertained that no bones were broken, but it was thought advisable that he should he removed to the hospital. It was found there that he had suffered injuries to the back. . ’Hie competition, which was judged by Messrs G. A. Kain (Oran) and A. Campbell (Milton), was restricted to members of the Otago Hunt Club and to horses that had never won a first or second prize at a Dunedin show. The following are the results : Miss Florence Mitchell’s (Burnside)
