SPRING SHOW OPENS.

FIRST . DAY OF EXHIBITION. JUDGING IN PROGRESS. The forty-fourth Grand Metropolitan Agricultural Show and Industrial Exhibition was opened by the Manawatu and West Coast Agricultural and Pastoral Association to-day with the promise of being a successful fixture. Extending over three days, with night sessions, the Show provides numerous attractions. The night sessions will add to the popularity of the exhibition, and it is anticipated that, during the three days, there will be numerous visitors to this centre *

j HIGH STANDARD OF STOCK. 7 1 Although all the stock were not penned for judging to-day, those that were on the ground were sufficient to justify the assertion that a high standard of quality waa represented. To-day, machinery, motors, implements, stalls, schools. work, etc., were on exhibition and judging was commenced in the home industries, needlework, photography and art sections. The maiden jumpers’ competition for the Ashlea Cup and the steer riding competition were scheduled for this afternoon, while the pigs were to come before the judges. To-night, the grounds will be open from 7 o’clock to 10 o’clock for side-shows and exhibits in halls. -t . TO-MORROW’S PROGRAMME. The programme for to-morrow is as follows: 9 a.ra.—Judging thoroughbreds, trotters and harness horses. 9 a.m. —All other horses, cattle, •heep and dogs to be penned and ready for judging. 9 a.in.—Exhibition of machinery, motors, implements, permanent stalls, vehicles, school work, needlework, home cookery, fleece wool, photography, etc. 11 a.m.—Boys and girl riders. _ 1 to 1.30 p.ra.—Trotting exhibition in ring.

STRONG COMPETITION. Despite the backward nature of the season, the standard of stock has been well maintained and 1 the quality represented in the classes : is consistent with the high prestige attained by the Manawatu Snow in this respect. Breeders have sent stock from all parts of the North Island for the fixture, and strong contingents from the Wairarapa are competing in both the sheep and cattle sections. Saddle horses are the principal feature of the equine division, while there are some magnificent Clydesdales and working draughts representing the heavier breed. Competition promises to be strong in the large field of ring •vents. Jerseys predominate in the cattle section, but there is a • nice selection of Friesians and Ayrshires, with other breeds in this division, for which there are a number of special cI&SBGB* ...'.s i V., '• •"» * The strength of the sheep classes is really gratifying, and Romney Marsh entries account for a large part of the gection, while Southdowns will provide keen competition. There are quite a nnmlipr of fat sheep and lamb entries. The general quality of the section is good, and the same remarks may be applied to the pigs. In the halls, the needlework and ■ sewing section is particularly fine, and will attract considerable attention, while there is a nice display of cookery and home industries. These divisions, with the excellent photography and schools sections, are accommodated in the main exhiibtion hall. SHOW FEATURES. Roading improvements effected to the amusement area have been favourably commented upon, after the conditions of last year, and with its miniature streets, “canvas-town is laid out on neat lines. Tired mothers will find a haven of rest in the Plunket rooms and every facility, is available for their comfort. (Full advantage is taken of this commendable feature of the Show every year. Two trained nurses are in attendance, while members of the Plunket committee are on hand to give the babies their care. Perambulators can fce left at the restroom in charge of the staff. • ~ , Ample facilities are provided /_ for coping with Show traffic and the parking of cars on the grounds, while full train arrangements have been made i for the transport of stock. 1 With'practically .record entries the i Manawatu Kennel Club’s show, to be held in conjunction with the exhibition to-morrow, promises to be a distinct success, as over 680 animals are comarrangements have been made for the illumination of the Showgrounds at night. For the convenience of Show patrons "there is ia special post and telegraph bureau available.. . , r ' Among the exhibits in the is a fin«hed display by the pupils of the Palmerston North Technical School, and their work is distinctly creditable. The oil paintings and leather work are nicely executed, while the woodwork and with the plumbing, is excellent. Javour 7 able comment was passed concerning the cooking and dressmaking exhibits in the display. JUDGES’ COMMENTS. PUBLIC SCHOOLS WORK. In each section of the writing, said the judge, Mr G. H. Espuier, there were some fine specimens or penm - ship. In the lower classes the chie faults that put the exhibitors out or the running were irregularity ot P ing, lack of uniformity in slope ana in the formation of loop letters, most cases the receipted acco '*~i; 4 ._ rs well done, but in some the compet had followed too closely some printed invoice form which gave the e a clumsy appearance. In the ngn standards the chief faults-in the ness letter lay in the address an. ending. Because a person buy Bells goods he does not _ right to have a handle to h lB ® ‘ “Mr” or “Messrs” should never omitted. “Yours sincerely 18 <?Vnurs place in a business letter. j •. l truly” is questionable; ‘ < .^?l l T ß -nresfully” is the most acceptable exp eion. x„_+he “The syllabus provides scope to expression of the ideas of pupils t® making of articles that serve TVfr practical useful purpose, saicl Espiner in referring to nana, ’ “The syllabus has been in force than a year; consequently, the num cl exhibits in this particular «übj

was rather small. However, those that came forward were well executed and showed considerable skill on the part of the exhibitors.” TECHNICAL AND MODELLING WORK. The judge of the technical and modelling work, Mr L. J. Watkin, of Wellington, commented that it was disappointing to find competition lacking in a good many classes. The standard of work in design was well maintained, both in technical and high school classes, the object drawing being excellent. The still life painting and landscape studies were disappoint-, ing in point of numbers. A particularly pleasing piece of work was a study from life by Miss Margaret Bendall. Mr Watkin stated that he was pleased to notice that Mr Linley Richardson, R.8.A., had introduced linoleum cut work and etching at the Technical School. Though quite new to the Show, the entries were good and encouraging. A drawing of a group of four objects by Henry Edwards was also favourably, commented upon. PHOTOGRAPHY. That the open photography classes were smaller in number of exhibits and not up to the usual standard was the opinion expressed by the judge, Mr A. H. Eaton, of Wellington. There were, however, a few really good photographs. “The Breakers’ Roar,” a seascape by E. T. Robson, was quite a notable piece of work. C. P. S. Boyer’s figure study of a group of Maoris was one of the outstanding exhibits. The same photographer had also a good architectural study in which there were some fine tones.. As far as the amateur classes were concerned, Mr Eaton stated that the standard was much as usual. Miss Hanna Johnson had done a particularly good figure study; it was a beautiful piece of work. A seascape by the same photographer, with a pearly quality, was a good entry. Miss Thelma Fraser’s portrait of a- child was an excellent piece of work by an amateur and was quite an achievement. _ “As in past years,” added Mr Eaton, “the beautiful scenery of the Manawatu is not exploited nearly enough. Within a radius of five miles of Palmerston North there is enough material to keep local photographers occupied for years. As far as open landscapes are concerned, there is nothing better in New Zealand.” COOKING. Mrs G. J. J. Buchanan, who judged the cooking section, stated that the quality was good throughout. The sponge sandwiches were very good, indeed, while there were also some excellent entries in the fruit cake classes. NEEDLEWORK. , The needlework section was a particularly good one and called ’forth favouraDle comment from the judge, Miss E. King, of Napier, who stated that the standard of work was, on the whole, excellent, especially in the children’s classes. Mention should be mado of the work done by the children of Standards 2 and 5. In the adult section an outstanding class was that for the teacloths. The entries for th© whole section were excellent. Some classes were not as good as others, but on the other hand some particularly good specimens of work were shown. ' THE PRIZE LIST. ART AND INDUSTRIAL. ART AND FANCY NEEDLEWORK. (Judge: Mies E.
