FRANKLIN SHOW

VICE-EEGAL VISIT OPENING BY LORD GALWAY HIGH STANDARD REACHED THE CHAMPIONSHIP AWARDS [from our own correspondent] PUKEKOHE, Friday The Franklin Agricultural and Pastoral Society's olst annual show was opened by tho Governor-General Viscount Galway at Pukekohe to-day. Many hundreds of people lined the path ' from His Excellency's motor-car to the official dais. Returned soldiers and the mounted riders who competed in the hunters' event formed a guard of honour. Lord Galway shook hands with each member of the guard of.honour, and a number of old settlers of the district were presented. In declaring the show open, Lord Galway said he had very great pleasure in making the acquaintance of so many concerned with the farming industry centred in Franklin He had previously met a • number of them in the noble sport of hunting not far from Pukekohe and he hoped to bo able to renew their acquaintance next season. He expressed regret that Lady Galway was unable to be present. However, she hoped very much to be able to come on some future occasion. His Excellency said he had heard with regret that the recent gales had -•-done a great deal of damage in various parts of the country. He hoped the Franklin district had not sustained very severe damage. He would not stress the v great importance of the maintenance of the quality of produce because they knew as well as he that there was always a market for the very best, while there was not always a market for inferior products. He extended thanks to the Franklin Agricultural and Pastoral Society for ' the hunter display which had been arranged for him. His Excellency concluded by extending to the district his sincere good wishes for its prosperity and individual happiness.

Before opening the show, Lord Galwas welcomed by the president of the society, Mr. Joseph Fulton, and the Mayor of Pukekohe, Mr. C. K. Lawrie. Welcome by Society " Our hearts go out full of joy to you as a representative of His Majesty the King," said Mr. Fulton. Mr. Fulton said the Franklin Society could be counted as one of the oldest in New Zealand. He was proud to say that the society had done a fair share toward the welfare and prosperity of the district. Subsequently Lord Galway watched from the centre of the show ring the special hunters competition which was ' staged in his honour. Thirty riders competed and, at the conclusion, His Excellency presented the silver cup to the winner, Mr. H. E. Porritt, whose horse Ginger Mick <vas successful. Mr. James Townsend's Illuminator gained second place and Mrs. T. L. Ranstead's Toby was third. All divisions of the show have attained a highly creditable standard. f While tbg effect of the storm of a fortnight ago is seen in fewer entries in the floral section, and the classes for fruit,

the Australian Court —occupying the whole of . one end of one of the two large halls —more than compensates the

loss. The grand parade at 1.30 to-mor-row afternoon will be one of the best that has'graced the ring during the life of the society. / "?
