STRATFORD SHOW.

A GREAT DISPLAY. PROSPERITY REFLECTED. Something of the progress which has been made in agricultural pursuits in Taranaki was reflected in the Stratford Agricultural and Pastoral Association’s fifteenth annual show, which opened at Stratford ycst* rday. Unfortunately the weather drying "the morning was not. al l that mild be desired, but about middiy the sky cleared, and visitors during the afternoon were able to enjoy beautiful sunshine. The display or cattle was perhaps the main feature of the sVu*. the Jersey and Friesian s- ctions being particularly strong. Competition in horses, however, was an outstanding feature, the large entries in the various classes resulting in healthy' r aby amongst the entrants. .With these sections of the show flourishing it was no wonder that the display was popular and was greatly appreciated by the many visitors who attended. All arrangements in connection with the show were capabiy handled bv the officials, the secretary (hr A. J. Barr) deserving special mention for the manner in which he carried out his duties. Dealing with the individual sections it is well to mention /that entries in the pedigree' Jersey classes constituted a record, both in numbers and the quality of the cattle exhibited. In the junior female class o 8 ai’imals competed, in the aged cow class there were 21 animals in f he ring, and in the C.O.R. class 19 paraded-- all wonderfully good cows The judge, Mr H. Moreland, of Hamilton 1 emarked that the first four placed Animals in the aged cow class excelled not only in dairy type, but in b-eed character, which were a combination of points seldom seen. In the female classes of the Jersey section, Mr F. Cornwall’s Oakland’s Princess won the grand championship, and Mr. R. L Horn’s Ku Ku Brooklet the reserve. M. P. F. Malone’s Cloverlea Conclusion secured the honour of grand champion bull, with Mr H. Lepper’s Hard Shot reserve. The Friesian section aats also an outstanding one, and contained animals with very high semi-off cia- butter-fat records. The senior and g v and championships amonget the c :\vs again went to last year’s winner, Mr 11. R. Green’s Jessie Monona Johaina, an animal which n at Palmerstcn North, and for whicn Mr Grpen has lefused 800gns. The grand reserve champion bull, Mr H. W. Hoskin’s Bainfield King Rozine was favourably eommerled on by the judge, Mr Jolly, who remarked that the animal wnis a young lull which was going to make a name fo T itself “On the day’s showing,” he said, “I- had to give i to the older bull, but I would like to take the young fellow home with me.” Championships amongst tie Friesian cattle were awarded as follc-ivs: Grand senior champion bull, Mr R. W. Hoskin’s Mynheer Segis Galatea; grand reserve and junior champion bull, Mr H. W. Hoskin’s Bainfield King Rozine: reserve senior cliampi »n bull, Mr H. R. Green's Wooderest Posc-h of Oakview; grand chanipi. n and senior champion cow. Mr H. R. Green’s Jessie Monona t oliamia; senior reserve champion and reserve grand champion cow, Mr H. R. Green’s Morcena Posch of Oakview; juniw ehanp.on coav, Mr H. R. Green’s Monona Echo of Oakview. Amongst the Ayrsliires Mr F. Mills, of Tokaora, Avas the largest and most successful exhibitor, w»: ning the championship in both male and female classes. The reserve champion bull, Braeside Eclipse, owred by Mr 11. Egarr. however, ran the champion very close, the judge later stating to a Star reporter that there Avas very little betAveen the tAvo auimals. The reserve champion Avas a younger bull, but lie thought that in a year or so it Avould beat the champion. Mr J. C. Wright, of Matepu, Avas a successful exhibitor in the pedigree Milking Shortherns, his coaa, Braeside SAveet. Nell, AA-hich Avon the championship at the Royal Slioav, again winning the same honour. Some good quality animals Avere seen in the various classes. Entries Av<we not nameious in the pig section, v but there Avere some good animals exhibited. Beikshire sows constituted an outstanding class and suav some keen competition. Mr Don Stewart’s Queen of the Windsors, which beat the Roya l Slioav champion. (Spring-' dale Netty) at HaAvera, again met with' success, it claiming tAvo firsts and the championship ribbon. Sheep were not a stiong feature, as entries were not A-erj numerous, but the quality Ava- there. Unfortunately entries from the Wanganui district did not arrh r e and consequently the section Avas restricted to purely local entries. The prize ikt. avus as fellows: — CATTLE. PEDIGREE JERSEYS.
