WINTER SHOW

FIRST EVENING SESSION. BALANCE OF AWARDS. The National Dairy Show was continued last evening whan tbere was a good attendance, although the weather was rather cold. The New Zealand Dairy Factory Managers' Association held their annual meeting, and a conference,of the Eastern and Western District Councils of the Royal Agricultural Society was another fixture. The City Band contributed a programme of music for. half an hour, while tile free vaudeville sessions by Kodama., the Japanese juggler, and the Two Colenos, trapeze artists, proved to be very popular. JUDGES' COMMENTS. COOKING. "Speaking generally, the class was quite good," remarked the judge of the cooking, Mrs A. Henson (Feilding,. She said the quality had been very pleasing and she particularly mentioned the scone section, where the prizewinning entries had been very satisfactory. Mrs Henson said she wished to mention specially the first prize sponge roll in the novice section, which had been outstanding, the maker, being Miss T. Lankshear. FARM PRODUCTS.

“The number of entries was rather disappointing, considering the productivity of the district, but wnat was lacking in number was made up in quality,” said the judge of the farm products, Mr A. •C. Buist (Feilding). “I would like to make particular reference to the lucerne hay class, the winning exhibits being undoubtedly of tho highest quality ever entered in the Manawatu Show. The well-preserved leaf and the succulent nature of the hay were among its outstanding qualities. The ensilage class again brought forward a number of high-class exhibits, and I experienced difficulty in some cases in separating the prizewinners. In view of the large quantity of certified rye-grass now saved in the Manawatu district, it appears to me to bo bad policy on the part of growers nod to exhibit more freely, so tiiat the forming community may understand what good quality seed is obtainable from local pastures. I would suggest that the Seedgrowers’ Association might take this matter up in reference to the next Show. On the whole I would say that the exhibits were of such a standard that they were all worthy of prizes.”

WOMEN'S INSTITUTES. The judges of the Women's Institutes' section, Mrs A, C. Austin (Pahiatua) and Mrs N. M. Burnett (AVoodville), commented that the entry from the Kairanga. Institute, placed second, had shown good pantry arrangement and had had a pleasing effect ol cleanliness. The Cheltenham Institute entry, placed first, had been notable for its quality and variety, and the Sanson Institute's entry, in third place, had been well arranged. The judges remarked particularly on the unusual labelling of the items in that display, the gold lettering on a black background being very effective. FIELD ROOTS. "It is a wonderful display of roots, not quite as strong as that of last year possibly, but the type displayed is very superior," said Mr L. B. Webster (Mew Plymouth), who judged the section. Mr Webster said there was a noticeable absence of coarse rough roots. The Prize-winning Yellow Globe class was a particularly strong one, including many exceedingly fine roots, but in some cases it was evident that exhibitors had had difficulty in securing three roots of an even, excellent type to form the group. There .had been a tendencv for growers to exhibit roots which were departing slightly from the lemon colour and to include those, of the Orange Globe colour. The Prizewinning Yellow Globe should have none of this latter colouring in it. There had been over 20 exhibits in the swedes section, proceeded Mr Webster, who said that there had been some remarkable roots included. Ihe tvpe was well held and the quality generally excellent. Considering those facts the size of the roots had been surprising in some cases. In one class, which allowed growers to exhibit any variety except Crimson King, it had been'found that it was very difficult to allocate prizes to one variety as against another. It had therefore been decided, in tha.t particular instance, to give two groups of prizes and over ten awards had been made in that one class. There had been a general tendency for exhibitors to trim part of their exhibits to excess, lhat should be discontinued, as it might lead, in some shows, to disqualification. The Boys' and Girls' Agricultural classes had brought forward roots which were very true to type and which had shown that great judgment had been displayed by the persons making the €ntl ' leS - NEEDLEWORK. Speaking of the entries, which had come before her notice as judge of the needlework, Miss C. Cooper (Gladstone) remarked that the children s section had been outstanding when compared with the. other department. The children's entries had shown gioat promise. It had been very pleasing, indeed, to see that the competitors had been able to put the colours in the right place. The Rayner trophy class or fancy needlework, had brought out some work which was very good indeed and Miss Cooper spoke in high appreciation of the work displayed Another department which earned her commendation was that devoted to tapestry the judge saying that it also was very good. FROZEN LAMBS. EXPORT CLASS AWARDS. COMMENT BY JUDGE. Judged alive at the Spring Slfow held in November last, and killed the following day, the class for three Sat lambs, any breed .or cross most suitable tor freezing and the London market, was judged yesterday, the carcases having been kept in the Longburn works since the lambs were slaughtered. Results were as follow: Mr C. E. Vile (Bulls) ... ... ■ ••• 1 Mr J. W. Perry (Sanson) f Mr J. Collis (Kairanga.) ... * Mr L. B. Wall (Kairanga ... v.h.c. Mr E. W. Barnett (Halcombe) h.c. Placing? on the hoof at the Spring Show were as follow: Mr J. W. Perry •••. \ Mr C. E. Vile ... \ Mr E. W. Barnett ... ••• ■« Commenting upon the class, the judge, Mr J. Drysdale (chief inspector

for the New Zealand Meat Board) said that the first prize pen . were lambs of outstanding quality, shape, and type, their conformity being almost perfect. They were bright in colour, full of meat, and finely proportioned with fat. Their general appearance was excellent, and they were suitable weights. The second prize pen was one of good quality lambs. They had plenty of meat, good shape and type, good colour, and were of suitable marketable weights. Their general appearance was excellent, but they were a bit on the fat side.

There were nice quality lambs in the third prize pen. They were all of good shape and type, slightly uneven, lint quite suitable lambs for the market.

The fourth prize pen was one of fanquality lambs of good shape and type, quite suitable for the market. The remaining exhibits were n little bit uneven, j>nd some were on the fat side, hut, taking into consideration all pen lots, they were nice quality lambs, quite suitable for the market. AIR-LINER MODEL. MADE BY CRIPPLE. AWARDED SPECIAL PRIZE. Made by Mr S. Edwards, of Newton Road, Auckland, while lying crippled in bed, an exceptionally complete model of the Union Airways liner Kotuku, built with balsa wood and | tissue paper, is one of the most interesting exhibits in the large model aeroplane class on display in the produce hall. It is an entry in the challenge 'cup competition for a non-flying scale model of the DHB6 express liner, and I was award°d a special jjrize for ex- [ hih-'tion only.

Detailed results of the competition were as follow:—L. Haughton (P.N.) 1, D. West (Palmerston North) 2; J. Simpson (Levin) 3. Awards in other classes were announced over a week ago. The model built by Mr Edwards is 42 inches across from wing-tip to wingtip. In the nose is the mailbag compartment, with miniature bags and a landing light in the nose door. Under the main wings are the new “landing flaps,” for the purpose of reducing the speed of the liner when landing at an airport. Over the wheels are the regular “steel pants” for protection purposes. On the roof are the wireless aerials and an air propeller for driving the electric dynamo. A close examination reveals painstaking and careful attention to details, as evidenced by there being over 3000 parts in the model, while in the wings alone there are 172 tiny ribs. The engine unit bodies are a marvel of fine construction, each of the four bodies being built up of eight separate pieces cemented together - and complete in .detail. There are the regular 12 tip-up chairs in the saloon, with hat racks and electric lights in the roof. The cockpit is furnished with the dual controls and seats for the officers. Also there are sliding glass control windows. Behind the saloon is the accommodation complete to the shaving paper and mirror in position. Still rurther back is the luggage hold, with entrances from the outside. A picture of Mr Edwards and the model appears on page 4.
