FINE SHOW HELD AT KAITAIA

fPHE weather, which seems to have singled out the Mangonui.A. and P. show for special favours, was in conformity with past experience, beautifully fine for the annual event on Saturday and better conditions could not have been desired. Early in the morning, activities in the showgrounds commenced and by IP a.m. patrons were passing through the gates, and before the afternoon' was far advanced the attendance was a record. The gate receipts were' over £lls, against less than £IOO last year. The entries were better than ever, and in many classes several improvements and new features were noticeable, giving the show more attractiveness. Business people are awakening to the opportunity afforded by the show in bringing before the public their wares.

So numerous were the home industry and other exhibits shown' Imder cover that it was "necessary to make use of the Parish Hall for the competition by the Women’s Institutes, Again the shed exhibits were the feature of the show and claimed the chief attention of visitors. The Native Institutes were well represented, and the standard of the work left ho doubt as to the great strides that are being made by the native woman in domestic science in its various branches. Maori arts- and crafts are not being neglected, as might have been seen from a number of hats, mats, kits and - other articles distinctive of Maori handiwork. The Maori cookery, which included iced cakes and covered a considerable range of cooking were surprisingly good, and left no doubt as to the influence of those who are endeavouring to bring the Maori standard of living into, line with that of the European. The displays by European Women’s Institutes were remarkable for their comprehensiveness, ingenuity of design and workmanship, and for that economy which is such an important factoi- in providing a home with what is attractive and invented at a small outlay. ...

The placings in the Institute competitions were:— European.—Takahue, 137 points; Oruru-Peria, 122 points; Fairburn, 115 points; Awanui, 98 points; Mangonui, 64 points. Native.—Peria, 124 points; Maimanu, 97; Pukepoto, 92; Whangape, 74; Ahipara, 62; Pamapuria, 44. Awards were:—
