SHOW DAY

WAIPUKURAU'S ANNUAL FIXTURE VERY LARGE ATTENDANCE. A POPULAR GATHERING. The nineteenth annual show of the Waipukurau Agricultural and Pastoral Association was held in Waipukurau to-day. The weather was windy and showery but promising to improve. There was a larger attendance of the public than previously recorded and it is evident that complementary with establishing a record in the matter of the number of entries greater interest on the part of spectators has been aroused. All parts of Central Hawke's Bay are represented both in the list of exhibitors and the assemblage of patrons. It is ever a notable feature of tbe Waipukurau Show that horse competitions are liberally patronised, am] on this occasion an even better exhibition than heretofore vouchsafed is being made. Aa becomes a district with the reputation enjoyed by Central Hawke's Bay the sheep classes form a very attractive section of the exhibits, and an increase in the number of entries is revealed. In cattle, dogs and poultry the numerical strength of the show is being maintained, while the display of vegetables is somewhat larger than last year. Home industries again provided a noteworthy exhibition, as also did the largely augmented school section. Exhibitors generally, as well as the officers, committee and other officials of the association—notably Sir George Hunter. M.P., as president; Messrs L. M. Monckton, C. Pattison, J. W. Harding and P. Hunter, as vice-presidents; Mr. G. Reg. Cook, the energetic and ever courteous secretary; Mr. J. H. Kibblewhite. treasurer; and Mr. B. Mathieson, assistant secretary—are deserving of special credit for the success achieved as well as the satisfactory arrangements made for carrying through the day’s programme. The presence of the Waipukurau Town Band added greatly to the pleasure afforded the many patrons and as usual the numerous sideshows created much merriment. The various trade exhibits were examined with interest, and on this score the various firms concerned are to be complimented as to the me.it of their displays. One of the outstanding interesting features of the show was the exhibition of Angora and Chinchilla rabbits, which are now being bred in Waipukurau as the result of this year’s promising importations. The judge of the poultry says that the standard is being well maintained. being similar to that of last year, hut dogs, bowers, are a somewhat less attractive class in quality. THE AWARDS.
