THE SHOW.

PEOPLE’S DAY GLORIOUSLY FINE. 20,000 PEOPLE PRESENT. Glorious weather conditions favoured the concluding day of the Manawatu A. and P. Association’s metropolitan show, and, as a consequence, there was a very large attendance for wdiat is known as “People’s Day.” The show has a never-failing attraction, as the exhibits, together with the ring events, are of interest to both the town and country people, and both enjoy the day’s outing and entertainment which the A. and P. Association annually provides with' this fixture. The popularity and importance of the show 7 has grown with the years, and the members of the Association look forward with confident assurance to the time when it will rank as first among all exhibitions of its kind in this country. Universal satisfaction w r as expressed with the quality of the exhibits and the high standard set and maintained in the progress of the fixture. The executive under president H. Akers, worked hard, and the result of their efforts must have been a source of satisfaction to themselves as well as to the public whose interests they serve in promoting exhibitions of this character. Mr W. T. Penny, the energetic secretary, and his competent staff of assistants, deserve the congratulations of all upon the capable organisation and spade work which means so much to the ultimate success of the show, and theirs was no mean part in the carrying out of the arrangements made. The public comfort was carefully studied, and several improvements effected which were much appreciated by the people generally. The Association has more ambitious plans for the future, and with the unstinting assistance and support of the people of this town and district their aspirations must eventually be fulfilled. The fact that hundreds of motor cars lined Cuba Street yesterday, and on the two preceding days, is alone a sufficient indication of the prosperity and stable welfare of the community, and that being so, it is the duty of this affluent district to support open-handedly an institution, the only object of which is not mercenary but a continued effort for the public weal. THE GRAND PARADE. The grand parade provided a very imposing spectacle. In the ring when all the animals w ? ere finally gathered in there w 7 as as good a collection of /Stock as could be seen at any showground in the Southern Hemisphere. The cattle came first, champion bulls in each class leading. Then followed the horses and after a round of the oval all were marshalled into the centre. One of the best turnouts w 7 as that of the Wellington City Corporation who exhibited a four-horse team and wagon, and the gaily-decorated animals met with warm applause from both of the grandstands. Three tiny girls on ponies w r ere also greeted with approval. Mr H. Gillies, who marshalled the procession, deserves great credit for the manner in winch he handled his big task and successfully provided the best ring event of the show. THE TAKINGS. Mr W. T. Penny, secretary of the Manawatu A. and P. Society, supplies the following figures in connection with the takings at the show:—

The 1919 takings are a record in the history of the. show, but it has to be taken into consideration that the entrance money at the front gates was 2/ instead of the usual 1/. It was not possible to arrive at an accurate estimate of the number of people in attendance yesterday, but competent judges put it down at well over 20,000. bonsideririg the wet weather experienced during the first two days, the final result is more than satisfactory to the committee.

Jensen’s farm, at Longlmrn, at 10 a.m. on Monday next. The Bates’ tractor was on exhibition at the Show, where it created quite a favourable impression. This tractor is mechanically perfect, all bearings (except engine) are of the roller type, and every moving part is enclosed and lubricated. It lias ploughed 14 acres in ,10 hours on 12 gallons of kerosene, has doubledisced and harrowed 35 acres in a day, and cut 20 tons of ensilage per hour, and filled it into a 45ft silo. It is claimed to have many advantages over those of any other make, and all interested are invited to attend the demonstration and sec for themselves what this tractor will do.

[Published by Arrangement.] WATTS’S CYCLE DEPOT, Palmerston North. It is a painful fact that paint and enamel hide a. multitude of sins in the construction, of a bicycle. Skill and thoroughness must join hands in production or repair of a machine, and this combination is readily apparent in all Avork turned out at Watts’s cycle depot at 3, Eangitikci Street, Palmerston North. Mr Cooksloy, the proprietor, personally supervises all departments of the business, and this is to a great extent the reason for the enormously increasing popularity of this cycle depot. The premises are the largest of the kind in town, and Avell adapted to their purpose, and contain a comprehensive stock of accessories of all dos options. A special feature of the business is its system of discounts for cash. Tir- s, tubes lamps, oils, and everything p. tabling to the trade, sold for cash, carry a special discount of five per cent. Repairs are carried out with the utmast skill and promptitude, and as a the roughly representative and up-to-date concern Watts’s Cycle Depot fully deserves to be included among the foremost of Palmerston’s commercial houses. THE HAYWOOD VULCANISING WORKS. (L Palmer, Proprietor, Palmerston North.) Motorists visiting Palmerston North will be interested in the up-to-date methods of vulcanising Avhich have been introduced to the district by Mr L. Palmer. The plant, which is known as “The Haywood,” is the only one of its kind in the district, and that Mr Palmer is giving the utmost satisfaction to his ever-increasing clientele is patent to all concerned; and Avhat is more to the point is the fact that his system of retreading, vulcanising, and repairing is the only reliable one yet known. Haywood retreads have already made a great name for themselves in the Palmerston North district, and anyone interested in vulcanising, or rubber repair work generally is welcome to inspect the Avorks at any time and sec the system in actual operation.- Mr Palmer and his staff of export assistants arc noted for their good workmanship and reliability. Large stocks of tires and tubes by best -known makers are held for the public’s selection at the lowest prices. Milking machine tubing cud all rubber connections arc also obtainable at the establishment in Eangitikci Street. Call here for the free-air service, and remember everything is neAv and fresh. No perished goods palmed off on to anyone. All classes of surgical rubber goods, including bandages, syringes, etc., obtainable here.

MoAvat, the well-knoAvn engineer of Eangitikci Street, has recently purchased a Wilkinson “Vulture” Safety Carbon Remover. This handy little patent is used for removing carbon from motor car engine cylinders, and enables this very necessary operation to be carried out without taking the engine down. The operation is very simple, for by removing the valve pap or spark ping from any motor engine, inserting the nozzle and turning on the gas, the carbon is caused to combine with, oxygen and throwing in a lighted match the carbon gloAvs until it is consumed, which only takes a few minutes per cylinder. Mr Mowat has only installed the machine a fcAV days and dur- , ing that time has had several cars in to have the cylinders treated, and the OAvners of the cars have been greatly pleased w r ith the efficient manner in which the cylinders have been cleaned. All car OAvners are invited to call at Mr Mowat’s works in Eangitikci Street, and see for themselves the many advantages which this neAv system has over the old method of cleaning cylinders. Similar machines to the one nmv in use at Mr MoAvat’s have been tried at all the larger garages in Christchurch, Wellington, Napier, Dunedin, Gisborne and Auckland, and are giving complete satisfaction. BEEMAN GARDEN TRACTOR. A most interesting exhibit appeared at the show for the first time yesterday morning in the form of the Bccman garden tractor, Avhich had been unduly delayed on the rail. Larger tractors for general field work have been before the public for some time, but the market gardener, nurseryman and the small orchardist have not previously been catered for. The need for a tractor to do the work at present done by hand or onehorse cultivators has long been fo.'t, and it was Avith the idea of meeting this need that Mr L. R. Bcoraan, of Minneapolis, sot to Avork. He spent three and a-half years Avorking Avith an efficient staff of mechanics and agricultural experts at testing and perfecting the Garden Tractor us it now stands, and it was not till this stage was reached that he put his invention on the market. The Bceman is propelled by a 4h.p. gasoline engine, Avhich gives it a drawbar pull of l£h.p., and it Avill Avork efficiently with a seven-inch plough, a sixconltcr Acme harrow,, or a light set of | disc harrows, as avoll as handling the j Avhole range of Planet Junior and Iron j Ago cultivating teeth hoes, etc. With j this handy little machine three rows of | vegetables can be cultivated at the , same time, and its usefulness is not 1 confined to the garden or orchard, for j the Bceman is proficient as a stationary f engine, being quite poAvcrful enough to i drive a circular saw, or any of the j other labour-saving devices which can be used about the farm. All working parts are hooded and run in oil, and the compact design commends itself to all. This new departure in the tractor Avorld is introduced by the Bceman Garden Tractor Agency, of Auckland, who announce olsoAvlicrc in this issue that a public demonstration Avill be held this morning, at Mr Shailcr’s orchard, 123 Scandia Street.
