AGRICULTURAL SHOW.

HAWARDEX Hie success of the fourth annual show jf tho Hawartlen' Agricultural and PasIpral Association, held yesterday, was Starred by unfavourable weather. Heavy rain set in soon after daybreak, preventing many people from attending, and also causing numerous blanks in the space set apart for tho exhibits. special train from Christchurch was not very largely patronised, and, as it. was guaranteed, would be a source of loss to the Association. Hie weather cleared up in the afternoon, but the attendance was much smaller than in previous years. The entries catalogued numbered HUB, an increase of sixty in last year’s total, and there was an unusually large variety of exhibits, which made a most interesting show. As on previous occasions, tue snow was held in the grounds of tho Hawarden Saleyards Company, and the considerable extent of space in the hall on the ground was entirely taken up with the house products and school exhibits, and the farm and garden produce idled e large marquee. There was a very good show of draught horses, the young stock being A promising.lot-. Mr \Y. A. Banks was the most successful exhibitor, and the name of Mr Janies Little also figured prominently in the prize list. The light horses, although not numerous, were of a high standard or merit. Mrs Id. Bothell’s Fielding carried off the prize for tho best hunter, and Miss I. ■ Rutherford’s Moya took tho championship amongst the hacks. There were about sixteen ponies exhibited, but the show in this department was not as Strong as usual, owing to tho polo tournament being held in Christchurch. Mr L. Hickman's Patience secured the principal, prizes, and Mr G. L. Stead’s Sunflower was successful iu tho polo pony classes. ino competitions were interesting, the full programme being carried out • In spite of the rain and tho slippery state of the ground. Mrs Bethelrs Yielding took the prize for the best horse over hurdles in tho open class and Missel. Rutherford’s Montrose in the class for ladies. The Victoria Cross Race brought out quite a number of competitors, and Trooper E. Black took the Erst prize. The fat cattle were a strong feature of the show, the exhibits sent in by Mr Duncan Rutherford being a specially prime lot. Amongst his stock sent for exhibition only wero some puro-bred Hereford cattle, bred by himself, which attracted much attention. There was an excellent little show of fat sheep, the most successful exhibitor in this department being Mr G. Gardner. The classes for pure-bred 6beep wero, not very well filled, except those for Corriedalo and half-breds, in which there was keen competition between half-a-dozen exhibitors. The section for grain and roots was well filled with a comprehensive collection of exhibits. The roots were particularly fine, giving ample proof of tlio good quality of the land in the district. The show of fruit was disappointing, although the preserves exhibited proved that fruit can be grown to perfection in the district. There- was h nice display of. cut flowers, the table decorations being arranged with considerable taste. i An outstanding feature of the show was the splendid display of cookery, probably one of the best ever seen in the province. There were no fewer than thirty exhibits iu the class for pound cake, and in all the other classes there were large entries. Mrs J. Skurr, of Garleton, who undertook the judging, had a most difficult task to perform, and she won warm praise for her Expeditious, and capable work. There Was aiso a striking display of fancy work, and cookery and ether exhibits by the t'oung folk made a fine show, the school work section being particularly well filled with exhibits. The children of tho Omihi School secured .the largest number of prizes, i A baby show was included ir. the programme of competitions, and to Constable Bird was given the onerous duty of awarding the prizes. In the class under twelve months, Mrs Murray’s girl was first and Mrs Brown’s girl second. For babies over twelvo months the first prize went to Mrs Shaw’s girl, and the second to Mrs Harvey’s boy.

i Amongst the extra exhibits there was a commendable collection of vehicles made by Mr Knight at AVaikari, and the Dresden Piano Company had an exhibit of pianos. i'- Mr 0. F. Clothier again carried out the duties of secretary in a capable manner, and he had an able assistant In Mr T. Allan.
