SHOW JOKE
COW SOUGHT BY BREWERY FIRM [Per United Press Association.] WHANGAREI, June 30. Over 1,000 Whangarei residents had a laugh at the expense of the prominent citizens who took part in the cow-milking contest, one of the highlights of Show Week here. Despite rain, a big crowd turned out to watch the fun. The Hon. P. Fraser, who earlier opened the exhibition, acted as judge, and entered freely into the carnival spirit. Mr W. Jones (mayor) was the first to empty an udder and win, closely followed by Mr H. W. James, presi-’ dent of the A. and P. Society.
The prize for quality of product was awarded to Mr James, after Mr Fraser had called in the referees to make a test. Their finding was such that Mr Fraser announced that it was understood the cow would be sold to a brewery firm.
