A. & P. SHOW

FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL FIXTURE,

INCLEMENT WEATHER MARS FIRST DAY.

The fprty-sixtk annual Show of the Poverty Bay, A. and P. Assn.,; opened yesterday under inelejnent weather conditions ,which at times' made matters unpleasant for oft ticials, exhibitors and the public •alike. A keen southerly blew at intervals throughout the day, and frequent showers fell. This, however, did not dispel the enthusiasm of the officials, and the judging and the competitions continued unabated despite tbe rain. The grounds were in good order, aud all arrangements were made for the convenience of the public, reflecting ■ the greatest credit upon the committee, headed by the president,- Mr R. W. Coop, and the secretary, Mi W. M. Bayly.. During the day stud sheep were judged, also blood, light back, pony and harness horses, produce and fleeces. The .bulging was in each ease got through in good time. The Plunket Society had a tent •<m the ground for the use of mothers with children .Free milk was provid •ed, and members of the committee were in attendance to render r any help necessary. During the day many tributes were paid to the Society for its thoughtfulness in supplying the lent, and several donations were received by the secretary, Airs J. Blair. The tent will bo open again to-day.

The Gospel tent as usual occupied a pi eminent position on the grounds -and literature was distributed generously to the spectators. Despite the fact that after the showers the ground was in some places rather slippery, it is pleasing to record that very few spills took place in the jumping competitions and no serious accidents were reported.

AMONGST THE SIDESHOWS Amongst the most popular features •of the Show are the side-shows aud booths, and these received generous -support yesterday, especially among the younger folk. The Glass Works was well patronised throughout the entire day, and the dexterious manipulation of glass tubes into ships, animals, bottles, ornaments, etc., was watched with the keenest interest. Mr Westwood added considerably to the entertainment with his lecturcttes on glass blowing and his attractive assistant, Map Kinsley, known as “the Wonder Girl’’ assisted in the work. Kangaroos, swans, pipes, and magnifying glasses were made before the eyes ■of the public, and many were later disposed of to the interested spectators.

The Canadian giant “Lofty” was another of the featured sideshows. Ho stands just under Bft- in height and is claimed to be the world’s tallest man. He weighs 25 stone nml is 32 years of age and lus boots are 16 inches in length. Undoubtedly “Lofty” is the biggest man ever seen on the Gisborne show grounds. The well-known showman Harry ■Sanclow. ex-champion wrestler of New Zealand, with several assistants, export woodchcppeVs, wrestlers anil Lexers, drew continuous crowded liousos, the show proving very po pular. Considerable excitement reigned when a huge local Maori accepted a challenge to resist being “thrown'' in four minutes and earn a guinea. The tent was packed for the match and amidst considerable excitement the Maori won.

The “Dome” clay work exhibition also drew large crowds who watched day, vases, bottles, jardiniers, the (’Xpert model cut of a handful of milk-jugs, in fact almost every conceivable article thought of i Weird animals from Algeria, and n lamb with two heads, and a pig with two heads and four legs were amongst the freaks shown. Captain Zola’s performing seals, -also drew their fair quota of spectators. and the usual circus gave continuous shows throughout the afternoon
