TARANAKI SHOW.

JUBILEE FIXTURE

A FINE DISPLAY

It was quite fitting and in keeping with, the occasion that the jubilee show of the Taranaki A. and P. Association should be the best and most comprehensive in the history of the society. Practically every section showed this position, and the result was that in every way the fiftieth show was an outstanding success. Satisfaction was expressed by the organises and committee and hearty approval by local people and visting enthusiasts on the quality of the stock exhibited. It was on general agreement voted the best on the records of the A. and P. Association. TELE CATTLE. The Jerseys were numerous and of evenly high quality. This applied specially to the young stock, which formed "a fine picture, but in addition the standard all through was one of which no show need be ashamed, and many animals there were in the mature classes of which any soliety might well be proud. The yearling bulls and' heifers were perhaps the outstanding feature, and when the first and seconds in the various classes were mustered for championship judging they formed a great display, probably easily the best ever seen on that grouud. The judge (Mr. H. E. B. Watson) was very pleased and had considerable difficulty in many cases in sorting out the winners. Ayrshires, too, formed a feature. And again the young cattle were numerous and good in quality. The competition in these classes was very keen and close, while the mature cattle were a really fine lot. They were well shown, “typy” specimens of the breed and looked really well. The pairs in the heifer class wei*e particularly good. Friesian s were a much stronger class than fomerly and, while they were rather badly beaten in numbers on' the bulls by the small breeds, they were practically equal in cows and heifers with the Ayrshires. There were several new breeders and these cdmbined with the old timers, G. A. Marchant and Sons. H. E. Johnson, and D. H. Johnston, to make a list of exhibits that made the Friesian section one of the features of the show.

Milking Shorthorns, too, , were a section not very strong numerically, but of very good quality. The winning exhibits would have done credit to a much bigger show ring. THFJ HOUSES. All classes of horses, light and heavy, were well represented. The Clydesdales included a number of quite outstanding animals, with which the judge was extremely pleased. The milk carters, a distinctly utility class and of practical value in the every day life of the dairy farmer, were a remarkably good type and showed that the farmers are not satisfied with any but a pretty good fann horse. The hacks, hunters and the ponies were distinctly good all through, and showed to advantage in the ring and gave a clever and finished exhibition of jumping. A tribute must here be paid to the many accomplished riders, men and women, whose work was a treat to watch. THE PIGS.

Pigs formed one of the strongest sections of the show, a “penning” in all breeds that was easily a record lor number and quality for the show, and a display which an experienced exhibitor considered was the best he had seen in the North Island. The judge expressed great satisfaction at the work placed before him. A special pig breeders’ trophy probably had an influence in creating the record.

SHEIEIP. There were large numbers of wellgrown specimens shown in every sheep breed, making a display that was a good deal bigger than usual, and for this no doubt the presentation of the special Golden Fleece Challenge Shield is largely responsible. SPECIAL TROPHIES, Valuable trophies, given in honour of the jubilee, have been allotted to various sections. The jubilee gold medal will be' given ip a large number of classes. In the centre in enamel is Mount Eigmont and below in gold letters set in ail enamel ground are the words, “Taranaki Agricultural Society, Jubilee Show.” In view of the fact that for the first show, fifty years ago, isheep-shearing formed one of the principal attractions, the pioneer members have donated the “Golden Fleece Challenge Shield.” It will go as a points prize in. the stud sheep section. It is made from puriri taken from! a bridge erected very many years ago on the Te Arei Road, which isi now being replaced with a concrete structure, while the mountings are in silver. At the top of the shield is a scroll, on either side is the monogram, “T.A.5.,” and below a ribbon carries in raised letters the name o fthe shield, “The Golden Fleece Challenge Shield.” Below this again are two silver shields surrounded by handsome silver scrolls and bearing the inscription, “Presented by the pioneer membersi of the Taranaki Metropolitan Agricultural Society on the occasion of the Jubilee of the Society, 1875—1925, ’’ and “Awarded lor most points scored in purebred ■sheep classes. Several silver pillars are provided with the years engraved thereon up to 1954, spaces having been left for the names of the winners of the trophy. THE MA NAGEIM, ENT. The general arrangements in connection with the show are, .as always, excellent, under the direction of the president (Mr. VV. B. Grant), the secretary (Mr. W. P. Okey), and the committee and stewards, The Press representatives owe much to the courtesy .and kindly help of them all. Exhibitors specially appreciated being met at the trains by the officials and given assistance. The catering was again run by a ladies’ committee, under the oversight of Mrs. Grant, and thus section of the show gave unfeigned satisfaction all round. TRADE EXHIBITS. Messrs Bennett and Sutton, of Hawera, with that enterprise which marks them always, have a stand at the show which exhibits all British implements, of which the firm makes a specialty— Impeiial manure distributor, Albion mowers, Nicholson’s rakes, and horsehoe cultivator. Mr. W. 0 1 ’Callaghan (Buick) and Messrs Newton King, Ltd., (Dodge) show the latest models of the cars for which they are agents.
