AGRICULTURAL SHOWS

TTMARTL SECOND DAT. Rain set in on Wednesday nigh* a™* . continued to fall more or loss heavw throughout yesterday. The attendance conseguently was small, and as the afternoon wore on the state of. *&? ground became almost as bad as at lasfc-yeaa-'s show. The judges and officers, however, stuck to -their dorokK lankly, and the progxamm© was earned out fully a.nd strictly; indeed, s*» hunters' competitions, which concluded the programme, we re probably the most successful yet held at Tdimaru* Unanimous sympathy" was felt far tihs Association in the ill-fate which has attended it while it has bean pursuing a policy of progress, leading to a large expenditure on improvements to the ground and extension of the rcrizo-iEsfc; and both country and town 'residents suffered great disappointment in being unable to see with any enjoyment the best show the Association has yet held. ■ The improvements on the grounds were appreciated in the bad weather, this secretary's office and Press room being : under the stand, a new produce shed being provided, and the old produceshed being given over to the caterer,' Mr Budd, whose "exhibit" was of ei quality not to be excelled in,tie colony. The president (Mr A. Scott) was most' assiduous in the oversight of the proceedings on the ground, while the seorotary (Mr R; L.- Orbell), if Hot so attentive in some ways as of old, mare _ than made up for it in cither directions. Good band music ihelped to enliven the afternoon. CATTLE. Then-© was no improvement in, thd cattle section, widen continues to be a reproach to the district.. In several oF the classes the judges deoliaed to award' prizes, and beyond one or two fair Shorthorns, Jerseys and Ayrshires, ■&« fat cattle alone were .of show quality. Mr A. J. Keith's two prize bullocks would be hard' to "beat anywhere. The milking test was won by Mr Robert Brown's Ayrshire, with 161 b morning ■ milk, testing 4.43 per cent, equal ia -70S8ib butter-fat; Mr W. J. Siloock's Jersey giving 1341 b milk, -testing 5.22 per cent, equal to ,70471b' butterfat, was second. HORSES. ~ ' ' The male classes of draught horses were the strongest on" record for Timaru. There were eleven entries ia the all-aged class, and the well-known, imported Clydesdale Dalmuir Prince was easily selected for first honours. A useful, but not stylish,, Horse in | Commander (by Lion King) was second, ■ with little to spare from Highland Lad, a son of the successful sire Shepherd Lad, and Brownhil, a compact, active horse, bred by Mr James Austin, waa • fourth. The imported oolt Premier Pride had many "admirers at the ringside for his style and substance, but his hocks were not liked "in the ring. Balmuir Pirince's stock won the Association's special prize, and' the horse was .awarded the championship, though the two-year-old Royal Standard was not without claims to the honour. The three-year-olds were a very fair class. Only two mares, in foaL were shown, and the final chaimpdonship went to Mr W. Butterick's winmi-ng dry macra Countess. Only two thoroughbreds were shown, Gipsy Grand and Sims Reeves, both! good horses. Mr "WithellV imported hackney horses Londesborough and Defender 11., made_ their opponents in the hackney stallion _ class - look commoners. Mambrino King won easily iu carriage stallions. The saddle and harness classes throughout were of great merit, the majority of the competing horses showing excellent quality and style. Messrs : Elworthy Bros, held a very strong 1 hand _in the saddle classes. " Splendid jumping was shown by the majority of the hunters, under most unfavourable' circumstances, the ground being veTy slippery and in places under water. There was a fine array of tradesmen's and carriers' turn-outs. DOGS. The display of "fancy" dogs was poor compared with that of last year, and, if this section is to remain in the catalogue the assistance of lovers ' of dogs should be enlisted, to insure an adequate display. The working sheep , dogs were a very mixed lot, and the judge must have been guided by more than met the ordinary eye in his -awards. Mr J. F. Hayhurst's irnported Old English Bobtail, Whioi:, a winner at leading English shows, and a magnificent specimen, was '-passed over altogether. PIGS. Pigs were the largest and probably the best collection yet seen at Timaru, though they included a few very indifferent specimens. Mr 0. Brice, of Christ church, was very successful, ra both Berkshires and Yorkshires, MrW. Moses being also a winner 'in Berkshires and competing strongly in York- ' shires. Messrs W. Wilis and J. Olsen showed some good Berkshires. PRODUCE. There was a very fine display of homemade butter, Mrs M'Dowell once more proving invincible. Eggs, bread and" scones were very good. There was only one exhibitor of bacon. Grain and seeds were mostly of excellent quality. Three collections of farm pro- - duce were staged] all were meritorious, but they' differed, greatly in scope.MISCELLANEOUS. The absence of implement exhibits, with one exception, "the American Trust," made the upper part of the ground look bare, but there was a long avenue of tents, displaying the special- - ities of most of the leading local x firms. The Lawrence-Kennedy milking machine was a most interesting ex* hibit. . The following are lists of judges and awards r Judges.—Sheep: Merino, Mr T. IFWhirtei (Timuru); English Leicester, Sir J.

Agricultural and Pastoral Association. ■ Last .year the show had to T>e postponed owing to rain, and it was held a week later in one of the heaviest nor'-west gales experienced for years. Yesterday, from early morning, rain poured down 'incessantly, and it was apparent that the show oou.ld not be held with any prospect of success. By nine o'clock a number of live istock exhibits had put in an appearance, and as eoon as a sufficient niunber of the committee assembled a' meeting was held to decide ■ what was to be done. The voting on tne motion to postpone the show resulted in an even vote, and the chairman (Mr J. Wyllie) gave his casting vote for postponement. It was then resolved to hold the show on November 3, so as not to clash with the Aeh.burton show. The postponement will cause considerable loss to Mr T. Pyle, the caterer for tho show luncheon. Last year he experienced a similar loss, and also had his tent blown down.
