An extremely fine day attracted a record attendance to the ' picturesquely situated and well-appointed show, grounds of the Masterton Agricultural and Pastoral Association on the 20th. Already, owing chiefly to the energy exerted by Mr Isaac Sykes, the recently - appointed secretary, and the committee of the show ai record number of _ entries had been secured. The principal features of the show were the number and quality of the Lincoln and Romney sheep entries, the splendid collection of hacks, ponies, harness horses and draughts, the weight and condition of , the fat sheep and cattle shown (consequent on the splendid season through which the Wairarapa settlers have just passed), and the increased interest exhibited in the display of farming and dairy produce. There were several displays of farming implements for exhibition only. Perhaps the most interesting to the majority of the settlers present was the sheep-shearing by machinery displayed by Messrs Levin and Co., who are agents for the Wolseley machine. The easy manner in which the wool was removed caused some surprise to those 1 who were used to the old-fashioned style. Messrs Levin and Co., as agents for the Massey Harris Company, also exhibited ploughs, cfultivators, etc. The Singer SewingMachine Company had a specially erected building on the ground, in which was a first-class display of machines and the fancy work done by them. Miss _ _ Dyer instructed visitors in plain and fancy sewing, and Mr Wickham represented the company. Mr Wm. Lena, a successful exhibitor in the honey class, made a creditable display of honey in bottles, and also in the comb. Mrs E. D. Mackersey’s bottled fruit exhibits were of an excellent description. Mr M. J. Brookes, general manager, was in charge of the Dresden Piano Company’s display, which was a really creditable one. Mr H. O. Hewitt, of Manners street, was in charge of the Wertheim Sewing deadline and knitting machines attracted their share of attention. The bicycle exhibits . were Daytons, by Mr G. H. Scott, of Farish street, Wellington, and Rovers, Humbers, Zealandias, etc., by Mr J. C. Ewmgton, Masteiton. A most useful exhibit was the Sellar’s and Vandergrift’s washing machines—shown by Mr W. H. Judkins, of Masterton. Mr C. Dahl, of Palmerston North, showed a patent butter mould and milk strainer. Another useful invention of Mr Dahl’s was a patent horse and cow cover, which is fitted on by leather straps round the nmd legs of the animal. Appended are details of the prize awards : CATTLE. .
