THE PUKEKOHE SHOW.

A SUCCESSFUL OPENING. RECORD ENTRIES RECEIVED. THE WINNING EXHIBITORS. [BY TELEGRAPH. —SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT^ PCKBKOHB, Friday. The Pukekohe Show opened here to-day. The weather, though cloudy, was fine. The attendance was very satisfactory considering that most people visit the show on the second day. . . Record entries were received in all classes. Cattle were strikingly in evidence, Jerseys predominating. The judge in this class was very pleased with the animals shown, and said there had been a great improvement within the past few years. Shorthorns, though not numerically strong, were of good quality, and well up to the standard. Ayrshires were also a strong class. .

Horses, especially light sorts, were well, represented. The light stallions were certainly the best ever exhibited in Pukekohe. Very few entries were received in the draught horse classes, but what entered the ring greatly pleased the judges.

Sheep, though not as well represented as in previous years, were well up to the standard, though the absence of Mr. Eber Harriball's flock somewhat detracted from the exhibit. Mr. Barriball decided to stand out this year.

The exhibit in the hall, of garden produce, fruit, bread, and flowers, was an excellent one, and reflects great credit on the exhibitors. Pukekoho farmers nearly all send to the local factory, and in consequence the exhibit of dairy produce was not a very strong one. To-day was spent in judging stock and produce, and in many instances such was the uniform quality of the exhibits that the judges found it very difficult to sort out the prizewinners.

An animal that excited considerable favourable comment was A. H. Street's champion pedigree Holstein bull Cliff side Laddie, which has won prizes throughout the Dominion. Another . class that was greatly admired was the class for ponies under 12 hands. Twelve diminutive ponies, with equally diminutive riders, faced the judge, who had a difficult task in placing the winners. In fact, ho remarked that he would have liked to award prizes to all.

The judges were Shorthorn and Hoistein cattle, Messrs. G. D. Smith and T. Wood; Jerseys, Ayrshires, and fat sheep, Messrs. R. Jodham and C. Day; horses, ■Mr. H. J. Booth; poultry, Mr. G. R. Hutchinson; bread and preserves, Miss Fenwick; flowers, fruit, and children's classes, Mr. D. Hay. Large entries were received for pigs, but they will be judged to-morrow, when an attractive programme will also be carried out. The Pukekohe Brass Band will be in attendance. Excursion trains will run from Auckland and the Waikato, and provided the weather is fine there is every reason to expect a record attendance. The prize list i s as follows
