YOUNG FARMERS’ CLUB.

EIGHTH ANNUAL SHOW. INCREASED ENTRIES. Fine weather favoured the opening of tire eighth annnal show of the Feilding Young Farmers’ Club at the Feilding Agricultural High School grounds this morning, and,with entries generally on the up-grade indications pointed to a successful show being enjoyed. Additional interest was given the fixture this year by the inclusion of primary school exhibits in the show, and although these had not been separately exhibited and so as to give spectators a means of comparison between secondary and primary school work, the immediate effect was to greatly swell the entries and the standard of excellence of the exhibits could only he classed as high. As in previous years, the display of agricultural exhibits forms a strong feature of the show, the root crop section being of exceptional merit. Kitchen garden products also apparently form a favourite pastime with many children as this section was very fully stocked with vegetables and fruit of all kinds, but of a generally very good quality. Tire handcraft section did not appear to contain the usual display of work, but there were some splendid exhibits, fretwork models being in greater number. On the girls’ side, cookery, needlework and decorative exhibits were in evidence in abundance, giving every indication that the girls have the interests of the show at heart. Outside exhibits were numerically strong, both sheep and jrig entries being up in last year’s, hut cattle showed a decline. Horses were also notvery strongly exhibited. The increased exhibits perhaps contributed to a somewhat unduly delayed return of

the awards, the judging in some of the sections being far from complete at midday, when no details of any of the section prize lists were available. BOWLING. FEILDING REGAINS DIXON CUP. On Wednesday afternoon a rink from the Feilding Bowling Club, Williamson, Dummor, Wenham, Wilson (skip), regained the Dixon Cup from the Levin rink which had won it the week before. The holders were Cappen, Laugelan, Bull, Clements (skip). The home team scored only one point from the ninth to the nineteenth head. Feilding won by good team work by ; 26 to 10.

(skip) 17. The game was close throughout, particularly from the tenth head, when -the local players caught up on the challengers to make tho score 9 all. They wore 12 all on tho fifteenth head, and 15 all on the nineteenth. The visitors scored 3 on tho twentieth head and were lying 3 again when Nesbit ran the kitty through into the ditch to make the head 1 up. Allen drew another.
