“THE WINTER SHOW IS ON!”

Splendid All-round Display SOME UNIQUE EXHIBITS Radio Sets and Motor Cars Much in Evidence The Winter Show is on. Dunedin’s Winter Show, which is claimed to be the premier show of its kind in the Dominion. Each year it is anticipated with a great deal of pleasure, not only by inhabitants of the rural districts who make the Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s buildings their rendezvous during these few days in June, but by thousands of city folk who, year after year, “ look it over.” And it may be said that the 1938 Winter Show is worthy of more than a mere “look over.” There are sections which, as the old phrase has it, “ are alone worth the price of admission.” Take the Women’s Institute bays in the Victoria Hall, for instanced There is a fascination in this section which grips the observer, be it man, woman, or child. There are 15 bays, representing districts as widely apart as Roxburgh and Sawyers Bay, as Waikouaiti and Green Island. Each bay is really a little gem in itself. To attempt to describe the articles thereon displayed would involve columns-—rugs, slippers, woolwork, and basketwork of all descriptions, quilts, firescreens made from cigarette cards, quaint ornaments, and just as quaintly-conceived articles of utility; dogs, elephants, Popeyes, Dismal Desmonds, and other familiar figures in rag; and the thousand and one little trifles which women folk love to make, and to have. The Victoria Hall will undoubtedly attract the crowds this year.

MANY OTHER FEATURES Another exhibit which merits more than passing attention is that of the Otago Model Engineering Society. There is always something fascinating about a model, bo it of an engine, an aeroplane, a speed boat, or anything else. The neatness if it all, the tiny, intricate parts, the dainty delicacy of the work appeals to the discriminating eye. For not only boys love models, as recent pictures in ‘ Punch ’ point out. It need scarcely be mentioned that the examples displayed! by the society named are not toys; they are distinctly engineering jobs and capable of being “ worked.” A model traction engine, here shown, for instance, could haul a small motor car. It is a particularly worthy display altogether. Out in the annexe the voice of the showman is heard, easily. Here flock the sportsmen who are ever on the lookout to win something, if only a box of chocolate or a doll on a stick. This he may do by his skill at darts—now becoming something like a national game in England, it would at the familiar roll-down, or shooting gallery, 01 some ■ “ knook-’em-over ” contrivance. Here, too, is the merry-go-round and the other avenues of amusement which one expects to find on these occasions.

It is noticeable that, in the commercial section exhibitors of radio sets predominate; there are large sets and small sets, cheap sets and expensive sets, all-waves and broadcasts; thus demonstrating the_ world-wide popularity of “ listening in.” Motor cars and cycles, too, take up a big proportion of the space on the ground floor. Here are models to suit all tastes and pockets. Then there are the customary displays by vendors of furniture, sewing machines, ranges, typewriters, washing machines, and other utility lines, all attractively set out.

Cattle and sheep occupy space on the ground floor, where agricultural implements will be_ found, _ There are the usual competitions which afford expert weight guessers and others opportunities to prove their skill and judgment.

Amono; the individual items which are admirable is a magnificent specimen of hand carving which Mr Arthur Barnett brought out with him from abroad. This is the work of the Swiss carver Cardenos, and represents a St. Bernard mother dog with four puppies. The whole group has been fashioned out of one log, even to the rope which is around the old dog’s neck, and the expressions and pose of the animals are wonderfully life-like. Then there is an occasional table which has been made by Mr A. L. Crawshaw out of wooden matches, and which, in its stained and polished condition, makes a very attractive piece of furniture.

Other exhibits of this nature are worth attention.

The display i of fruit is a resplendent one, the familiar, but always attractive, rows of apples, five on a plate and as regularly set out as a line of soldiers. Cases of them, too; with pears and other fruits all neatly displayed. The Fuller Hall is reserved' for the exhibits of cakes, scones, bread, jams, jellies, honey, and other household delicacies; also for some first-class specimens of photography, water-colour and poster work. The butter and cheese exhibits, always one of the big features of a Winter Show, are as prominent as ever. Grain, seeds, roots, wool, too, and the other items which help to fill a very comprehensive catalogue. Altogether, the Winter Show this year is more than “ well up to the mark,” and Mr J. Hellyer (president), Mr R. D. Stewart (secretary), and the committee of the society may well anticipate a record attendance, with a correspondingly large increase in the door receipts.

Craighead (Middlemarch) 2, Evans Bros. (Southland) 3 The entries were disappointing, said the judge, but that was easily explained, because of the adverse weather conditions this season throughout Otago and Southland which was responsible partly for tbe reduction in entries. It was disappointingto see a few wellknown exhibitors missing, such as the estate of the late George Low (Otautau), W. Lindsay (Wallacetown), and the estate of the late George Law (Gimmerburn). The general standard was quite up to that of previous years, but, if anything, the she.ep were showing signs of the adverse weather conditions that were experienced. It spoke well for the enthusiasm of the exhibitors when, in spite of these conditions, they had brought the sheep forward in particularly good order. Entries in some classes were confined to one exhibitor, hut the quality was generally quite good. A particularly good class, said Mr M‘Lachlan, was that for three sheep most suitable for frozen meat trade, and the margin in points between the place getters was very small indeed. The first placed exhibit in three crossbred, long-wool lambs was of outstanding merit. The class for three crossbred Down lambs suitable for the frozen meat trade_ was also good, but in the lambs’ section the really outstanding pens were the three lambs bred and fed by the exhibitor, live weight not exceeding 1001 b, these lambs being of particularly good quality and very even. What would have been the winning pen, that of Mr D. B. Craighead, was disqualified through one lamb being overweight.

The judge said that the fat cattlt section was quite up to that of previousshows, the quality being very good throughout. In the age class, first and second bullocks were very nice beasts, the first being a little the better finished. In the four-year-old bullock class, the first prize winner was a nice, evenly-fleshed bullock, and stood out above the others. The winning three-year-old-bullock was a nicely-bred, wellbodied, and evenly-fleshed bullock, the second prize winner being inclined to be a little rough and a little lacking in his hindquarters. The winning two-year-old bullock was a nice, lengthy, well-finished animal, and this had won the Butchers’ Association prize, being the best bullock under 9001 b. The second placed bullock was a very nice quality beast, but was not the weight of the winner. The first prize yearling steer was an outstanding beast, being a good quality bullock. The three-year-old heifer class was quite a good one, the winner being a lengthy, _ good, evenly-fleshed heifer. The winning two-year-old heifer was undoubtedly the best quality beast in the show, being of very nice oven quality. _ The class for yearling heifers was quite a good one, the winner being a good, lengthy heifer.

The class of work shown, said the judge, was of a liigli order, but number of entries was rather disappointing. The articles not otherwise specified were difficult to place owing to the varied nature of the exhibits. This section would be better in future if divided into fancy work and metal or woodwork classes. GRAFTS DRAWING AND PAINTING. Judge: M. D. Lovcy (Dunedin). Lino-cuts or woodblocks —Kenneth A.

vious years, on account of the dry season which had been experienced. The King Edward class seemed to be getting away from type, with too much flesh on them, inclining to run out. The Arran Chiefs were also not up to type, while tlie Northern Star variety seemed to be in evidence. The class for other varieties to be named was a strong one, but exhibitors seemed to lose sight of the necessity of grading exhibits and making them even. The collection in table and seed potatoes was good, but cortissium disease seemed to be evident in most entries, while some were unwashed, giving them an inferior appearance when this was not the case-

Photograph, portrait, or figure study Miss Marjorie Valentine 1, George Stevenson (Bay of Plenty) 2. Photograph, animal life or farm scenes—George Stevenson 1. Photograph, general—George Stevenson 2. A Dunedin exhibitor, J. O’Kane, entered the outstanding photograph of the show, ‘ Moonrise, said the judge. On the whole, the section was a good one, the best average being reached in the alpine class. In this class there were some fine prints, and the three winning entries were shown by local enthusiasts. Nothing of an outstanding character was shown in the amateur classes. H. E. M'Donald, of Wellington, sent in a good print in the general section. This was a photograph in which there was some excellent tone work. There was not much between it and C. S. Didkson’s( Dunedin) second prize winner, and the decision was made in favour of the simplicity of the first. No award was made in the most interesting snap class because the only point of interest in the exhibition was the fact that they were taken in the Keuya Colony. Only the second prize was given in the seascape amateur class, as this was the only one worthy of a place, but was not properly presented.
