WAIKOUAITI SHOW

. I ——l BIG ENTRIES IN MOST SECTIONS SHEEP GLASSES PARTICULARLY STRONG In most sections very satisfactory en- * tries were received at the Waikouaiti Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s twentieth annual show, held on tho recreation groufad on Saturday. Parti- ' ‘.culsrly conspicuous were the sheep V /‘classes," the. entries for which far ex-, ceeded those of late years ; but the ! numbers entered in the ladies’ classes ..and Ayrshire cattle were rather dis--‘appointing. An overcast sky and ’ a sharp easterly wind failed to detract from the enthusiasm of the attendance -in the afternoon, and'the gate takings , easily reached those of last year. An inspection of the exhibits by the public, was thoroughly carried out, and a great deal of interest was taken in the competitions, which began late in the afternoon. ■ ’ln -tlie- fat. •‘sheep-’ class‘ -excellent "•.'quality ’entries pl&tsetTthei judges, who remarked "that the standard set by the lambs was outstanding. The Border Leicesters and Southdowns were .very pleasing. Several breeders exhibited in the Romney section, with the result that .competition was very keen, and, as a whole, the entries were well worth examining. Rather mixed quality in the Cornedales, and competition by ~ orily one man, detracted somewhat from the interest in this class. The judge said that the quality was not as :,■= high as at the same show two years ago, and the. lamb pens were filled with ths best specimens of the breed, it was'- encouraging •to note that the s i Southdowns showed an improvement .over the standard set two years ago. Attention paid to mutton qualities indicated that the breeders were endeavouring to attain what was best represented in the class, which had become popular with the exporters. The awards the cross-breds were well distributed. ' Tlio judge expressed the opinion that the. society, would do well ' ■ to delete the ; two" classes for pairs of wethers, which did not appear to have .‘any particular point for their inclusion, and substitute ewe classes. Tho ■ exhibitors should also - see that their sheep represented what was set out' in the schedule, for- in several instances ■ entries which’did not conform with tho conditions required were forward. ;. v ' • Very good specimens of Jersey cattle we; e shown, but the cross-breds were only a fair lot, said the judge. The ■ -Jersey cow, however, was of a fine • .type. A .splendid- selection of Ayr- . shires was seen, the champion cow heing fit to show in . any ring. As good .. . 4 line of Friesian cows as could be seen at any show was _ entered. The ... three-year-olds were fairly good, and - the two-year-olds were'as good as the average; The bulls were not very plentiful, and the two-year-olds lacked development at the time; and were not numerous. It was an all-round, better display than was expected by the judge, aha the champion cow was hard to - beat; In the . Jersey section, the ■ champion'bull'and champion cow werewell .. known, having already been exhibited at several, shows this season. Taken all ' round, it was a good class. The_ three and two-year-old he.ifers were quite up tp.standard. The judge added that the Jerseys had improved wonderfully during the last two years, indicating that tbe.hreed bad found favour m the district. , Some outstanding animals were seen ■in the ponies in harness and saddle, and they were a nice useful lot. The list ponies were very strong in the ring—typical weight carriers. _ Mrs Dalziel s 13st entry was shown in great form, arid was looking better than at any other stage of nis career. Mr J. R. Brown’s 16st pony was of a good strong type. In the jumps some excellent animals competed, but prominent was Mr W. Hastie’s Dandy. - The judges of, tho vegetables and ’ ' flowers commented upon' the very fine displar -of blooms, the winners being exceptionally pood. Particularly notice- ‘ able were the Powers Court sweet peas. ’ The selection of vegetables was also up . , .to the mark. In,the opinion of the judges it was a pity that a greater interest was not taken in these competitions, as they were worth fostering, particularly among tho members of the younger generation.
