From its inception the'holding of a show at Apiti under tho auspices of the Apiti Horticultural and Industrial Society has been a pronounced success, although occasionally bad weather has damped the ardour and militated against the efforts of the large number of enthusiastic workers who delight in giving their help unstintingly for the general welfare. Of course, the show has been developed, extended, and improvd'as the result of eleven years' experience, and a number of exceedingly important classes have been added, especially in the direction of .live stock and competitions, which undoubtedly are very attractive to tho general public besides being asoful in attaining the object aimed at.

The current season has been a particularly good one, and Apiti and the surrounding district is looking at its best. The advent of motor-cars, three of which ply regularly between Feilding and Apiti, has shortened the railway to two hours, and it was a very pleasant run from Feilding yesterday morning, the committee having made arrangements for the conveyance of- .the judges and press by that comfortable mode of transit. On arrival tho hospitable treatment for which Apiti is noted was in evidence, for the whole party was entertained at. morning tea to fortify them for the formidable ordeal ot judging and recording the many exhibits brought m for competition.

A special meed of praise must be given to President Lawson, Secretary Vail, and the host of officers who worked so efficiently. It is only the simple truth to say that no Show in the district is run more capably aud successfully. SHOW FEATURES. The outstanding features of the Show were the roots and vegetables aud the cookery section. In the Conner, the judge, Mr Wighton, was so pleased with the display that he gave a special prize of 10s 6d to Mr A. It. McKenzie for the excellence of his exhibits. The flowers were very good indeed, especially when .the time of year is considered, although several good exhibits were disqualified because the number of separate flowers exceeded those named in the schedule. The cookery class was not as well filled as usual, although there was keen competition, and in almost all cases the quality was' although the judge pointed -out that some of the best cooking; exhibits were spoilt by the addition of too much soda to the ingredients. Fruit was only a fair class, yet there were some good pears and apples shown. The jams, cakes,- pickles, jellies, chutney, etc., were very much better and more numerous than usual, and the quality tip-top. Poultry was not a large class, but the AVhite ■ Leghorns upheld the great reputation established by the breed. The sewing section was small, although the competition was good. The /school exhibits were very fine, especially the penmanship, while the contributions from the Apiti and Rangiwahia school gardens were wonderfully line. ■ THOSE WHO JUDGED. The judges wer: Industrial and sewing, Mrs Bissett and Mrs Levien; school gardens and flowers. Mr Debbie ; poultry, Mr Steele; dogs, Mr Nehnes; cats, Mrs Pro use; competitions,< Mr J. Tkuce; sheep, Romneys, Mr Kilgour; Lincolns. Mr Murdoch; fat sheep,'Mr Hair; vegetables, fruit and farm produce, Mr AYighton; general, Mesdames AVallace and Fowler; cookery and sweets, Mr A. E. AVhitehead; singing, Miss : 'iaddeley.

OPENING CEREMONY. Promptly at 2 o'clock, the President (Mr A. Lawson) called upon Mr H. Mclntyre (Patron) to speak. About 400 people had gathered despite the threatening weather, to take part in the function.

Mr Mclntyre thanked the society for the honour of taking part in the 11th Show at Apiti. He congratulated them on the wisdom shown in utilising the very large building for th? Show, and said that if they continued to progress at the rate they liad of late, the Manawatu A. and P. Association would have to look .to its laurels.

Mr D..H. Guthrie, M.P., was then called upon to declare the Show open. He said it was an especial pleasure for him to be there because he had taken his share of pioneering in the back-blocks, and the Dominion was now reaping the benefit of that settlement of the land, for they were providing stock for those nearer the' sea to fatten off, and the development iv the near future would astound those who had not realised what a factor in the prosperity of the people back-blocks settlement would be. The Show was a good one, and was improving every year, and the section devoted to school- work was an object-lesson, for it proved what a boon instruction in rural ivork was becoming. Apiti had been very j lucky in that respect, because they had had men in charge of the schools who realised the part agriculture should play in their midst and had worked accordingly. The present headmaster of the Apiti school was following splendidly in the footsteps of his predecessor, and every parent should be gratified at that. He congratulated them all upon the splendid success attained, and iv declaring tho Show open heartily congratulated every ono connected with it on the result.

MALES AND THE NEEDLE. A notable feature of the sewing class was the success of two members of the male sex in the sewing competition against quite a number of ladies iv two classes. The first was for a pair of patched dungarees, Wilfred J. Caird exhibiting a splendid specimen of work, and in the class for the most useful article made from a sugar sack, Herbert Jensen carried oil the palm with a pair of milking pants fronts. . This class was as good as it was novel, the articles exhibited including trimmed aprons, school bags, peg bags, oven cloths, all bordered with coloured edging and decorated with initials anil designs.

A GOOD SHOWING. Messrs Norton, of Hastings and Pahiatua, have a magnificent display of cut flowers and fruit, which added considerably to the attractiveness of the Show. A splendid afternoon's sport was provided by the various competitions, the weather holding up very well.

■ Footballers will be pleased at "Tiny" McNae's success in the dairy class, scoring first and second with handsome milkers. The sheep were a splendid lot, and a credit to the district, showing a vast improvement. Both the cattle and dogs were a good class. THE ENTERT AINMENTS. At night the Show kept open till 9 o'clock. R. Stewart won the hattrimming, and B. Osborne second. The bun-rush dance held in the hall afterwards was well patronised, and proved a great success. To-day the local Chamber of Commerce took Mr Guthrie, M.P., and Mr Fred. Pirani, two Agricultural Department experts (Messrs Dibble and McTaggart) and- a number of others to Table Flat, Utuwai, and Umutoi. To-night a farmers' dinner wilKbe held. ■ THE PRIZE LIST.
