AUTUMN SHOW

A FINE DISPLAY GRAND COLLECTION OF FRUIT. LIST OF AWARDS. Judging at the Hawke’s Bay A. and P. Society’s Autumn Show was begun yesterday, and was completed in several classes. The main part of the judging was continued this morning and the judges had a busy and not easy time in selecting the winners in several sections. In the fruit section, apples occupy pride of place, and once again has Hawke’s Bay made a display which for colour, general get-up and freedom from blemish would take a lot to beat anywhere. The exhibition and commercial types arc separated in most of the leading varieties, and in both sections fruit of the highest quality was shown and of such richness of colour as is seldom seen at other than Hawke’s Bay shows. There was an almost complete absence of indifferent specimens. COLLECTION OF APPLES. The collection of dessert, cooking, and export apples were of an exceedingly high standard. 'The old exhibitors are of course well up in the prize list, nut new exhibitors have also come for. .aril in goodly numbers, and have done well. With more show experience the latter are likely soon to be top-line exhibitors. The pears on the whole are about on a pur with the fine display of last year, which is high praise, and competition in this section has been gradually narrowed down to what may be termed the essentially commercial varieties. Peaches are quite a feature of the show. Hawke’s Bay has for some tune been looked upon as the peach province of New Zealand, but this year's show taken all round is the finest show of peaches that has been seen in the province. All of the best varieties of dessert and preserving peaches are shown, and regret was expressed yesterday that more was not being done in the province in the way of canning such fine fruit. There were some very fine specimens of T. H. Hale, generally called “Million Dollar”, a variety which created a veritable sensation when first introduced, and which is perhaps the finest show peach in the world, but Gold Dust, Kalamazoo, Hobbs' Late Red. and Paragon were all there, and of more than ordinarily good colour and quality. Mr J. Cushing, of Clive, also showed a new variety of whitefleshed clingstone, Osprey, which is one of the best yet seen. Grapes, plums, and other fruit were all of good quality. The cased fruit section was one of the best, as well as one of the most important in the show. Great strides have been made in recent years in the get-up, evenness of size and colour and the packing of the export fruit, and the orehardists deserve the greatest credit for the manner in which they are striving to market nothing but fruit of the best quality and most attractive appearance. VEGETABLE SECTION. Vegetables.—As in previous years there js a very good display of vegeL ables, and growers have no reason to be other than proud of the all round excellence of their exhibits. The giaut pumpkin was there of course, but ther t .were two giant sunflowers to keep the giant pumpkins company. It was a matter for regret that the schools section was not quite so well patron ised as it sometimes has been. Home Industries.—No part of the Autumn Show has advanced more during the last few years than has the home industries section. Each year sees a higher level of excellence reached by the lady exhibitors in the classes for cookery, preserves, etc. A particularly pleasing feature for some time in these classes, is an exhibitor, and a very successful one, but Miss Grace Twist, Miss May Miller, Miss McKinley, Mrs L. W. Goldfinch, Miss Dorothy Wiggins, Mrs Gunn and others also well hold their own. The competition has never before been so strong as this year, the general quality so good, or the exhibits so very oven. PRAISE BY JUDGE. The same remarks apply to the preserves. Mrs C. E. Twist, of Greenmeadows, who judged these classes, said said she considered the section an exceedingly good one, the whole of the exhibits were splendid, and so even that it was difficult to separate them in making the awards, She was partieu larly pleased, too, at the splendid way in which the preserves had been shown. The get-up of the exhibits was in most cases a work of art and gave a finish to the display which was most attractive. Native Industries.—The Hawke’s Bay Agricultural and Pastoral Society is almost alone in encouraging the native industries, but is a feature which might well be introduced into other shows. The native industries section of the Hawke’s Bay- Autumn Show has an attraction for many besides the natives themselves. The native craftsmanship is well worth encouraging. Nowhere else is there anything else quite like it. The character of the work in many cases belongs to a past decade. It has a charm and character all its own, and is well worth preserving. This year’s display is much tho same as in other years, but tho classes for new work show that the younger generation have been well tutored for the same national characteristics arc embodied, and the same skill shown in the work. For hand work it is more than excellent —it is wonderfully fine. Women’s Institute Work.—This is also n most artistic and very fine section of the show. The exhibits cover a wide range of articles, but all of tho very highest standard of merit. The various animals made of wool and other materials are exceedingly well done, while two novel but noteworthy exhibits are pictures made of coloured tinfoil from chocolates, etc. THE HONEY SECTION. Commenting on the honey section oi the Hawke's Bay Autumn Show, the judge, Mr L. Riesterer, apiary instructor of the Department of Agriculture, Hastings, expressed the opinion that this section was well supported ailh the right kind of exhibit. He sard that, tho judging was the hardest he had ever carried out in this

section in Hawke’s Bay. Many of the exhibits, he said, were so close in merit that it was difficult to judge the difference, and he accepted this as a clear indication that producers were taking a keener interest in show work and a greater pride in their exhibits. The novice class was not too well supported, but he pointed out that iffiW season was not altogether favourable lor this class in that, in and around Hastings, it had been no more than average, and under these conditions the producer encountered much more difficulty than in a good season. Consequently the novice found that his frames and grade of honey did not come up to show standard. The class for medium amber honey was well supported, and there was little difference in the exhibits. Referring to the award of show points, Mr Riesterer drew attention to the following essentials: Colour, body, flavour and condition. In the liquidhoney section, he said, should any exhibit show signs of granulation it was disqualified. Ho had also found a few exhibits in the wrong classes and as a consequence had disqualified them. For instance, he had found light amber honey in the medium amber class. There were some very fine exhibits of beeswax, and although there was very little difference preference was given to those exhibitors who had paid close attention to detail. Others had lost on that point. Apart from the exhibits, Mr Reisterer commended to the public the very fine commercial display of apiary products of the Hawke’s Bay Bee-Keep-ers’ Association. The display covers everything pertaining to' apiculture and is informative and interesting. People who inspect it will be able to trace the development of the comb from the foundtion stage to the worked-out stage, at which it is ready for the bee to deposit its honey. Different grades of honey in glass jars and comb honey in various shapes and sizes are exhibited, and the display includes several wax models. Side by side are exhibited the two types of hive—the “sleep’’ hive and the moveable-frame hive. The skep hive has been ousted by the moveable-frame and now is in use almost solely in Holland. The display includes articles of bee-ware and apiary appliances, including queen-excluders, bee-smokers, drone traps, uncutting knives, etc. Mr Riesterer describes the display as the finest of its type ever to have been shown in Hawke’s Bay.
