PEOPLE’S DAY.

ANIMATED SCENES ON PARK RACECOURSE.

KJSFOKD f CROWD ATTKXI) SHOW

' “People’s Day” at the forty-ninth annual .{fathering of the Poverty Bay Agricultural and Pastoral .Show at the Park'; racecourse yesterday, was one. of the most successful m the history of' the association, from both public' patronage and financial standpoints; An overcast sky, with only fitful bursts of sunshine in the morning was not an encouraging prospect for the day’s outing, bub, fortunately, the. .weather conditions remained settled until laio in the afternoon when a strong westerly wind'sprang up. The favorable . conditions assured a record Attendance, the. ' stand and [awiis being thronged, whilst a densely. packed moving crowd wended ns Way among canvas town throughout tile day/ .. r . ~ ■ . ■ ••• • It'is estimated that at least 5000 people were on the ground during the afternoon. The public’s attention, of course, was "divided among the various features of the show, liut principal interest centred in the horse competitions, the jumping and horsemanship being of the usual high standard, and evoked much praise from the largo concourse of spectators. -The crowd , displayed the keenest interest in' the parade of prizewinning stock, which was a most imposing exhibition of the dis trier’s breeding. The parade of sheep dog winners was also watched with much interest. The gathering included a number of, visitors from other centres, umongst those present being the Hon. K S. Williams, Minister of-Public Works; Major General R. Young, of Wellington; Capt. Johnston, of Napier; Mr. R. D. Rogers, general manager of Nelson’s (N.Z.) Ltd., of Auckland; Liout.-Col. Hellier Evans, of ' Brisbane; Messrs. N. and P. Kettle, of Napier; Messrs. A. J. Anderson, H. Mcßae and _H. I/. Harker, of'Wairoa; Air. and Mrs. McGougan, Mr. and Mrs. R. Wilson. Messrs. L. Sisam. C. Sutherland and N. Carter, of Whakatane; Air J. Brown, of Te Puke; and Alessrs J. Clark and P. Abbott, of Opotiki. A prominent feature of the gathering was the great collection of cars which not only filled the members’ paddock, but overflowed adjacent lanes. Despite tile crush of traffic the vehicles were well controlled at various points and were expeditiously despatched. That the attendance was a record is . indicated by the receipts which amounted to £498 for the two days, compared with. £450 last year. The takings on the first day this' year nntpunted. to. £34.105, or £3 more than on the same day last year. Over £460 was taken at the gates yesterday. The success of the gathering was in a large measure due to the energetic executive headed by the indeiati-t able president and vice-president, Messrs R. IV. Coop and J. Eivers, whilst the careful arrangements by the secretary, Air W. At. Bayly, made for the smooth running of the gathering. Fully 100-people attended a sheep judging demonstration given by Air. E.,E, Short, the Romney sheep breeder‘who dealt carefully with all points•! in'"the Weeding"6’f.Romney's. At the •’ eon cl u slottedU th'? lecture he answered a number of questions, and was accorded a hearty vote of thanks. An enjoyable programme of music was contributed during the afternoon by the Gisborne City Band in its usual capable manner. 4; A demonstration cf sheep dog working took place on the course in front of the stand immediately after luncheon.. The display was given by .* the winners of the competition and evoked the interest of a. large crowd, . Despite the close proximity of the spectators the work was well executed, the several competitors being heart) ly ’ applauded. While the judging of the Jersey

cattio was in progress some, competi.tors asked the judge if broken color in the animals was any. detriment in the show ring. The judge, Mr. G. Milligan, said that 20 years ago color was taken into account. Animals cf regular color were bought in Jersey and transported to all parts of the world. The result was that broken colors wore left- in the Jersey Islands. As no cattle except for - beef purposes, is-imported into the Jersey Islands the proper color cattle remaining there must be pure Jerseys and nowadays judges in the show rings did not take a great deal of notice mf color, but judged according- to type and the general appearance to which Jerseys' should contorm

JUDGES’ REMARKS In the cookery classes of the produce section, said the judge. Mrs Eiivers, the outstanding features were the - sponge sandwiches, the bread, and also the collection of small cakes, though she was disappointed at tho small number of entries in the 'section generally. The boiled fruits, jams and jellies exhibited by Mrs Gunn were of a remarkably high standard and would have gained a prize in any show. It was, however, disheartening to see such a small number of exhibits in the.whole section. The poor entries can he realised when it was stated that tho cooking sections at Opotiki and Wliakatane. very small towns compared with Gisborne,, were far larger than hero. Mrs Fivers said she would like .to suggest to tho committee the advisability of including in this section, what might be termed a one-woman exhibit. This exhibit shows everything the woman lias herself made for the home—leatherwork, painting, little improvements in the kitchen or the pantry,, cookery, jams, preserves, etc., in fact the 'scope is practically unlimited. Each, competitor should bo allocated space in the shed, or wherever tho exhibition is hold, and the sections be judged collectively. Such exhibitions are popular in Australia, and she would like to see them introduced here, for to her mind, this class would in a very short time be one of the most popular at the show, and in addition would have a high educative value to the public. Comment upon the lack of competition among the draught horses, was made by the judge, Mi L. Sisam, who remarked that the falling off in numbers be had noticed in previous years was more evident at this show. However, some good horses of ..this type were exhibited, Mr McCullough’s champion mare, Bonnie Jean, and also Mr \V. K. Robb's champion entire were both good specimens. The latter should develop into a good breeding horse. He expressed pleasure at the type of animals exhibited by the Borough Council which had furnished the strength of several classes. The preparation of the stock for show purposes was also very satisfactory The dearth of exhibits- of light harness horses was deplored by the judge, Air -J. Brown, who remarked that there were so many classes in which there was only one entry that m future if l etter support was net accorded this section, it might not be worth while continuing it. it must be disappointing for tho owner of a good horse to find no competition. Harness horses were purely utilitarian and with the continued abandonment of horse drawn vehicles by tradespeople for motor transport, so this type of animal would diminish in numbers, and there was 1 trie prospect of harness horses competing with motors in future years. Owners of. harness horses in this district apparently were not prepared to prepare their animals for the show ring, in the classes he had seen, however, there were a few good horses, but the competition was sadly lacking. The quality of the stock exhibited in the" He re fords was particularly .leasing to the judge, Air. E. E. ‘•-hort. though he whs not satisfied with the numerical strength of the •lasses. The stock, however, bore ihe stamp of good breeding, particularly the champion buT, Waikohu ' 7£A\ and also the reserve champion Home-bush Albert, both of which be considered were very fine specimens and would be worthv representatives of then- breed if exhibited m any -how ring in the Dominion. The two-year-old heifer wnich bifid been awarded the championship, YEome-i-v.sh Perfection,’’ showed the Hereford characteristics very plainly and ,va<- splondilv fleshed, altogether being an animal of very high quality. The reserve champion, Lucille 111., .fill showed many good points though she was now 18 years old,and conseiuentlv past her prime .so far as snow purposes were concerned. The pedigree .Jersey stock exhibited were most carefully examined by the judge. -Mr. G. Alulligan, wim commented upon tlio necessity of farmers paying still more attention to breeding, particularly in reference to the cows and heifers. He admitted that generally the stock were of a rood standard, but urged that more exacting measures should be taken to obtain tho best- characteristics of the Jersey strain. One animal among the two-year-olds had attracted his attention because it was so outstandingly true to type and showed tho Jersey characteristics very Mainly. He pointed out. however, that owing to there being no definition as to whether the cows should be dry or in milk, both sorts had been displayed, and although the animal lie refeircd to was dry at the time, he had no hesitation in a wardmo- the prize to her. However, lie did not think she would disappoint her owner when she came in. Dealing with the Jersey bulls. Mr Mailman' declared that it was evident that farmers were directing more attention to breeding, judging In- the improvement he had. notefl among the young stock. He instanced the winning yearling bull us a particularly fine specimen, very true to type, although he was at present only S months old. He promised to develop into a very fine animal. The winning two-year-old bull was a very good animal but- would have been WTier cent, better had his horns been trained when a youngS With very few exceptions, .stated the judge of the fat sheep and fat lamb classes, Air AA. J. Hill, of AA airoa, the quality of stock exhibited was really excellent and lie had experienced considerable difficulty in reaching his decisions. The fat lambs were of excellent quality' throughout-, and ho doubted whether he had ever seen better in any other show. Air Hill pointed out ‘ that competitors in the lamb classes should remember that their exhibits should be docked. Disappointment over the poor entries in the pig classes was expressed bv the nidge. Air F. Cblhn, who added that, though the quality of the stock exhibited was well up to previous shows, the small numbei exhibited must make tho section- a very expensive one for the. Association. Even the entries on the programme did not indicate the number of stock shown, as three exhibits did not come forward. In several classes, there was only one entry which meant that, though the quality' was there, the competition was absent. A particularly good section included the sows with litters, two of the'se having reared the large families of eleven apiece .which was an outstanding achievement. Tho entries in the dog section were indeed a pleasant surprise, said the judge, Mr R. S. Mackm, who adjudicated in all classes except for, collies. The great increase, he said, must be very gratifying- to the members of the committee, and the quality taken generally , was excellent. Tho Kennel Club’s silver medal for the best dog or bitch in the show went to Mrs G. A. Dunlop s English setter dog, Arran Count, who- well deserved. the honor, and is perhaps the t*es]t setter in New Zealand at the. present time. The cocker spaniels were of a high stand- • ard. and Maitni Ace had no cTifficiiltv in winning: the dog class, and is as irood as ever'be was. Judy of Kells was a wonderfully good bitch but was just a trifle too long in the

body. He was somewhat- disappointed with the quality of the Pomeranians, and considered that some new blood should be brought into the district. The Airdales, too. were not impressive, and the quality on exhibition .was rather poor, considering what it was previously and bearing in mind also that Gisborne had long been looked upon as a stronghold for this breedT The English setters have always been of a high quality here, and it was pleasing to note that there was no deterioration during this year. Exceptionally 'good; classes, with sound competition throughout, was the verdict of the judge. Air "W. Hart, on the poultry sections. Afr W. H. Scott’s bird,. which was awarded the championship, was’ easily the best entry in its class. In the fancy classes, the bantams were good, with the winning birds particularly fine specimens. The Rocks, both white and barred, were splendid while the Anconas were also good. Satisfactory classes, with several outstanding birds, were shown in the Black Orpingntons, English and American Leghorns. _ Among utility birds, the competition was strong and soma of the White Leghorns and Black Orpingtons were beautiful specimens. ’Tlie ducks also _ were good, with outstanding exhibits of a AVhite Runner drake and a Khaki Campbell duck.
