HAWKE’S BY SHOW

I PEOPLE’S DAY. j i ■ 1 The weather was beautifully fine for People’s Day at the H.B. Agri-1 cultural and Pastoral Association! Show. From an early hour people wended their way to the Hastings Showground until by 2 p.m. there was a very large crowd present. The! various exhibits were viewed with : keen interest, and the general ver- • diet was that the show has surpassed '■ all previous efforts. The exhibits of the Xapier Technical College stud-; ents and the ladies’ needlework and decorative classes have elicited warm commendation. The stock was much admired, tne cattie especially attracting attention, being the finest yet exhibited. The sheep, pigs, dogs, and poultry classes, all containing first-class quality exhibits, were centres of interest, while the various competitions and side-shows were well patronised. Great disappoint- ( rnent was expressed at the absence of the Tomoana fat sheep, which have always proved features at previous snows, from the sheep classes, but this was owing to the recent wet weather precluding them [ from being shorn. Exquisite musical selections were rendered by the Hastings Town Band, under Conductor F. Hopkinsori. In the cattle classes, Mr. Douglas McLean, of Maraekakaho, secured seven firsts, two champions, one second and a third. The champion bull was Diamond Star and the champion cow Briar Rose. H. K. McKenzie, who secured first prize and champion for his fat bullock over 31 years, has sold the animal for 70 guineas to Mr. Gordon Elliott, who will exhibit him at the Carterton and Sydney shows. The price is said to be the highest yat paid for a fat bullock at a show in the Dominion.

A Recruiting Office, under Lieutenant Xelson, was again on the grounds to-day. A fair number of young men responded to the’ Empire’s call. The swingboats, in charge of Mr. Pickering of Palmerston North, was largely patronised by the juvenile fraternity and the Soldiers’ Tobacco Fund should be considerably augmented as a result.

A motor car, one of the prizes in the Hawke's Bay Wounded Soldiers’ Art Union, was on the ground, and many tickets were sold on behalf of the fund.

The Hon. W. D. S. Macdonald. Minister for Agriculture, and the Hon. Dr. R. McNab, Minister for Justice, were among the visitors to the Show yesterday and to-day. The various horse competitions were watched with much interest. The Ladies’ Leaping competition was won by that good jumper Micky Free.

The Y'.M.C.A. have a rest tent on the ground, and this is much appreciated. There is also a mother’s rest and Plunket Nurse tent, and this, too, is eagerly taken advantage of by ladies who are lired after viewing the long round of exhibits. The catering was in the hands of Mr. J. B. Andrews, of Napier and gave general satisfaction. The fine exhibit of jams, sauces, etc., of the Hastings Fruit Preserving Company has been purchased bv Mr. E. T. Ingram, grocer , of Hastings, and will be on view in bis shop, Heretaunga street, after the Show. The ladies’ needlework exhibits attracted much attention, and . a similar remark applies to the Native Industries section, in which are displayed articles of fine workmanship and finish. During the afternoon the large crowd already present was considerably increaseci, and the grounds presented an animated and pretty appearance. Chief among the attractions i among the side shows is Baker I Bros’. Circus, which drew large audi- ! ences. The items presented were of ’ a creditable nature and much appreciated. Mr. Maker intends to bring a big circus to Hastings and . Napier at an early date. | A grand parade of prize cattle and horses took place at 2.30 p.m. PRIZE LIST. DAIRY CATTLE.
