SUCCESS ACHIEVED

COVERNOR-CENEBAL OPENS WELLINGTON WINTER SHOW ' \ A LARGE AND REPRESENTATIVE GATHERING SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF After months of arduous preparation on the part of. the committee in l control, Wellington’s first Winter Show was opened on Saturday under the most favourable auspices. In connection with the Winter Show proper there are also being held an Induustrial Exhibition under the charge of the Wellington Industrial Association, and the Olympia Motor Exhibition, four of the Harbour Board’s large wharf sheds being requisitioned to house the whole of the exhibits. The beautiful weather prevailing on Saturday afternoon induced a very large number of people to be present for the opening ceremony, which was performed by His Excellency the Governor-General at three o’clock. The Winter Show opening topk nlace in shed 29, the Vice-Regal party being accommodated in a snecially constructed gallery overlooking the body of the building. Just prior to the commencement of the official speeches a pretty scene was enacted, when bouquets were presented to Lady Jellicoe, Mrs Massey (received by her daughter, Mrs Salmon), and to Miss Dowme Stewart. The presentations were made by Miss Evelyn Goldsmith ana by Miss Joyce Goldsmith.

THE SHOW^OPENEB GOVERNOR-GENERAL EULOGISED THE LINK BETWEEN MOTHERLAND’AND DOMINIONS. -In asking His Excellency the Gover-nor-General to declare the show open, -Sir John Duke, oh airman of the show committee, said that they were particularly fortunate in having His Excellency with "them that afternoon, and those present would receive that intimation with the appreciation which was characteristic of the people of New Zealand. They were indebted to His Excellency, because, during the whole of the time he had been in this country, he had identified himself with everything that was in,the interests of the people. Not only had; he been always zealous in the interests of the Dominion, bub he was the tie between the Mother Country and ourselves, reconciling that splendid love of independence and liberty so dharao- ! teristic of the people of this country, with the loyalty and devotion to the Throne, which was no less characteristic of them. “A DEBT OF GRATITUDE.” The'community owed a debt of gratitude to those who had worked up the show, and to the exhibitors who had j left no stone unturned to produce' | things, not only pleasing to the eye, i but of utility and benefit in the living agib of their lives in their different Spheres. The present exhibition was only the forerunner of those which, in | the future, would make Wellington reI mowned -the Dominion over for its shows.. It was in 1851 that the British Imperial Consort opened the first ex ihibition on Hyde Park, and the whole genius of the British people yjas centred in that undertaking. Since that time British people and those of British stock had never looked back, but had gone -on from. one. success to an other in displays of this description.* , BRINGING TOWN AND COUNTRY TOGETHER. One lasting benefit of the present exhibition, be hoped, would l he to bring ; together-the people of the country and • the town. We wanted them to think of 1 New Zealand, and not only of the particular group or locality to which' they belonged. We were all New Zealanders, j said Sir John, and our duty was to dp our. best by the country as a whole. We were too, a section—and not an unimportant one—of the British Empire, and we should remember in this connection that it was our duty to promote the best in ourselves, and also to help in the sum total of Empire development. INDUSTRIAL HALL NEEDED. The public had to thank the secretary of the show committee, Colonel Mitchell, for much of the enthusiasm that had been put into- the arrangei meuts for the show. Hie, together with • other members of the committee, had ; been unremitting in their labours, and had now the gratification of seeing those labours crowned with success. One of the disadvantages with which they had had to contend was that the exhibits had to be diffused over four different buildings. They hoped that they would be able to ask the Prime Minister before he went out of office to lay the foundation stone of an industrial hall in Wellington. All their exhibits could then be housed in one big hall, which would he reared as an edifice hearing testimony to the enterprise and goodwill of the people of Wellington. c THE GOVERNOR’S ADDRESS CONGRATULATION® TO CITY AND PEOPLE. “My first duty is to congratulate the city of Wellington on the revival of their winter show,” said His Excellency, on rising to speak. The committee, he continued, were fortunate in obtaining.from the Harbour Board the use of so many’fine buildings. “I would further i congratulate the people of Wellington' on their choice of a chairman in Sir John Luke, because, with him they have also got Lady Luke, and from my previous knowledge of their association, I guess they have got a pretty strong team. Your choice of a secretary, too, has been a happy one: anything he takes up he puts his whole heart into, and from what I have seen of the exhibition in front of me. I gather that the members of the committee and the secretary have been very hard at work.” The exhibitors were to he warmly congratulated for what tbev had done and it onlv remained non- for tV noonle of .Wellington to me Vo a me reos of the erhibHion hr vin'ine it

"rent nomhors T" ■>■ -' ’mold a o’- them to f • :• + rM +vt nf r “ • 1.1,’/.: thf* An^’lnr)' 1 .had been struck hv the ‘ —o.!-t which had gone to see it. “T wnn’d not mention the matter.” said His Excellency. “hut that I have it 6n the authority of Mr Myers that there is no longer any jealousy between the two cities, and. therefore, I have no hesitation in asking the people of Wel-

lington to follow the example of Auckland and visit their exhibition in their numbers.”

As Sir John Luke had eaid, one of the purposes of the exhibition was to bring together the people of the . country and the town, and there could he no better object than that. The two groups of people did not always look at things from the same standpoint. Townsmen, for instance, did not always appreciate that country people had to get up very, early, work long hours, and do without picture shows, theatres, and opportunities for social amusement. Country people, on the. other hand, did not always make allowance for the hardships of the people in town, who were cooped up in factories and offices all day, and needed whatever recreation and relaxation which theatres and entertainments might afford them. ' ADVERTISE THE DISTRICT. Then, too,, the object, he took it, of this exhibition was to advertise the products of Wellington and its district, and he was sure the people who were responsible for the show owed a deep debt of gratitude to the Wairarapa and Auckland A. and P. Associations, which had sent most interesting exhibits all the way . to Wellington. Another object was an educational one, and he imagined that the children would be brought to view the show in the same numbers as he had seen in Auckland. He had seen several winter shows during the last month or two, hut in declaring this one open' he would like to wish the 1924 Wellington exhibition the very greatest success, and not only this, but all the succeeding shows which would be held m the future.

He then formally declared the show to be open.

PRIME MINISTER’S SPEECH NEW ZEALAND AT WEMBLEY. The Prime Minister, the Right Hok. W. F. Massey, said that he desired to add his congratulations to those of His Excellency concerning the success of the show. In years gone by he had a good deal to do with shows of this description, and he knew what a great deal of hard work was involved m getting them up. He had listened with pleasure to what had been eaid ™ regard to an Industrial Hall for Wellington, but he wanted to assure oir John Luke that there was no particular hurry in regard to it.. It would •be quite time enough if they came along and asked him to lay the foundation stone in 1934. keen hearing a great deal about what had been taking, place at Wembley, but he was inclined to think that there was another side to it, and * j W< i u come out right in the end. What fie wanted to say, however was that if they had had at Wembley’, I?**® New Zealand Court, some of tne talent that had organised the pre* sent exhibition, it would be a greater success than it was. .

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY PRODUCERS. It was ’a splendid thing, said Mr MAssey, to see the primary and seconded,.?r ° dU i !er9 v°. f the Dominion cooperating to achieve the present splendid results. In every case, the people th ° tw ,°- brancLs tlm W t y W ? t r , e together in the best possible spirit. The people m the secondary industries were hav mg a pretty up-hill fight just now He knew what was going on in other conn tries, and ho saw the handicaps the local manufacturers were suffering. As things stand now, goods needed only ? 5 , per , ce nt- of British material and labour m them m order to be admitted to the benefits of British preferThat was not fair. that Australia and New Zealand would tersta°tf of’ # “ d about Ztt ter state of affairs as far as prefer ence was concerned. It was easy fn, countries with a depreciated currency to compete against us; they could make their goods for half what »» could m New Zealand, but the country *° ul £ !“ v ®.to see that the secondary industries did not continue to be handf INDUSTRIAL SECTION “AN AGREEABLE SURPRISE.” IMPORTANCE OE SECONDARY INDUSTRIES Th®, industrial section was formally " oin;d by Ills Excellency the Gover ■ . ; r-Leneral, who complimented the .■’(•i.rulary manufacturers on their dis '* f d •xr• vi d ;j ~h •••’ -«;’4 *»l.y i-ntpr “■ d lit finding the m..U:,.; e.vui! non such a great sut'uul no doubt It was only the Hfiuniier of greater things. * Our -ext, said Mr Massey, should be -‘New Zealand made goods for New Zealand people.” When this was realised to a fuller extent, the Dominion would get on a sounder footing than ever. Empire preference was Empire protec-

tion as had been well said by tho president of the Industrial Association and towards this end they would all have to work. Tho Hon. Downile Stewart, Minis, ter of Industries and Commerce also congratulated the industrialists on ( their fine display. It was a striking tribute to the growing importance of the secondary industries in New Zealand. At present the market for local manufactures was limited by the size of population. As ifae industries grew, a wider market would have to be found, and much had been done in this direction through the tariff arrangement with Australia which was now absorbing a considerable amount of our -products. The secondary industries had to bo safeguarded in any revision of the tariff, bun justice had to he done to all sections of community. The official statistics showed that there was a steady increase in both the number and .size of secondary in dustriai organisations in the Dominion, and consequently in the number of those which those industries supported The Department of Indus tries and Commerce was always out to do its -best for the secondary industries of the country. A SPLENDID DISPLAY “A CONSTANT DELIGHT” WONDERFUL VARIETY OF GOODS. The general and industrial sections, housed respectively in Bheds 29 and 17, comprise a splendid display through which it is a constant delight to wander. The industrial section is as instructive as it is interesting, and it must come as a surprise to many to see there the wonderful variety ol goods that are made in the factories and mills of the Dominion. New Zealand has hardly yet got out of the habit of thinking of itself as entirely an exporter of primary products and an importer of manufactured goods, its secondary industries it has never taken seriously enough, and the wonder is to see how lustily they have grown. Goods of a quality and workmanship second to none in the world are to be seen arranged in artistic profusion on every side. And one’s exclamations of astonishment and pleasure are frequent and irrepressible as one wanders from stand to stand. The secondary manufacturers of Wellington have undoubtedly done themselves well at the 1924 Winter Show, and they will reap their reward from an impressed and' enlightened public. LIVE STOCK SECTION. The only section of the show which has not hjeen accorded the. support from exhibitors which one would like to see is the live stock: division. Upon entering the shed in which the, exhibits are, on© would form but d poo.' opinion of the extent of' Wellington’s farming district if that were the only means of forming judgment. The quality of the exhibits is, for ths most part, excellent, but the numbers are small and. the display generally paltry and disappointing. Allowance has, of course, to be_made fer the fact that it is an initial effort, and doubtless future shows will give better results. After the results of the judging have been officially recorded the live stock will be offered for sale this afternoon SOME RESULTS VEGETABLES. . Brown Spanish Onions—H. A. Hancock, 1 and 2; T.

MOTOR EXHIBITION OPENED BY GOVERNOR* GENERAL LARGE ATTENDANCE AT OLYMPIA SHOW. MANY FINE OARS. iliere was a very large attendance at'- the opening, on Saturday after riijou, ol tne Wellington Olyinpu Motor Exhibition, now being held in the Harbour Board Shed No. 45, at Pipitea Point. The huge building was most tastefully decorated with flags, bunting, and festoons and trailers of lycopodium fern; the walls were covered with big posters, whose diagrams and letterpress emphasised the marvellous developments that have taken

place in motor matters during the last quarter of a century, and showed the great contrast between modern methods of transport and those of former times; and there was a wonderful display of motor-cars of the latest designs—some of them most superb and luxurious in their appointments—of motor lorries, motor tractors, etc., together with all kinds of motor accessories, and all varieties of motor spirit, lubricating oils, and so forth. Great as was the Motor Show held in Wellington at this time last year, the present exhibition is greater still. Indeed, it would be very hard to beat it anywhere south of the line.

The opening ceremony was performed by His Excellency the Governor-Gene-ral, Admiral Viscount Jellicoe, who was accompanied by Her Exoellency Lady Jellicoe, and among those also present were the Mayor (Mr R. A. Wright; M.P.), Sir John Luke, M.P. (chairman of the Wellington Winter Show Association), and " Lady Luke, Councillor G. Mitchell (secretary of the association and chairman of the Wellington Harbour Board), the Prime Minister (the Bight Hon. W. F. Massey), the Right Hon. Sir Joseph Ward and Lady Ward, the Hon. R. F. Bollard (Minister for Internal Affairs), the Hon. T. W. Hislop, M.L.0., the Hon. Dr Collins, M.L.0., Mr W. H. Field, M.P., Mr R l . P. Hudson, M.P., Councillors W. H. Bennett and H. D. Bennett, and Mr J. G. Harkness (eychairman of the (Harbour Board). The Californian Orchestra (Conduf , tor Mir L. A. Braund), which had beediscoursing patriotic and popular airs, struck up “God Save the King” when Their Excellencies were seen approaching the flag-bedecked' platform from which the speeches were made; and the party was accorded a very hearty welcome by the great throng. “It is,” said the Mayor, “an easy tan’; for any chairman to introduce His Excellency, because he is so well known in Wellington, and everybody has a good word to say for him.” (Applause.) His Excellency, ho added, had been telling them about Auckland and about the sucoess of the Winter Show there; and he hoped that great success would also attend the Wellington, Winter Show, which was being opened in such lovely wintei weather. (Applause.) His Excellency had taken a great interest, not only in Auckland arid Wellington, and the other chief centres, hut in every part of the Dominion; and he knew of no Governor of New Zealand! who had done so much travelling about tho country in the interests of the Dominion as a whole. (Applause .1 All of those present who knew anything of the motor-oar and its mechanism would agree with him. he was sure, that that was one of the finest shows, if not the very finest, that Wellington had ever produced. (Applause.) He ventured to say, indeed, that it would not he excelled in any part of New Zealand, and! that the largest shows in Australia would he hard put to it to equal it Had it been wet that afternoon, the committee behind thi Motor Show would probably have lost some £1600; hut, the weather being fine, they would be able to recoup themselves for part at all events of their expenditure. Of the money received at the door, However, 25 por cent, was being handed over to the Winder Show and Carnival to help it along; and he thought that, that was very generous of the Motor Traders’ Committee. (Applause.) Many people had not got motor-cars; but he believed that in the future the majority of us would ride in motor-cars, when w© got those smooth roads—“smooth as glass, like a glassy sea”—that we heard so much about. He believed that motor-cars would he so reduced in price that working-men would go to work in them. In America, hundreds and ■ thousands of workingmen had their own oars and drove to work in them;, so that it was not a romance, not like “Alice in Wonder land,” from which the Prime Minister quoted from time to time. (Laughter.) fie believed that there was a great future before the industry; andthe promoters of that show were entitled to the credit, which, ho was sure, the people would be willing to give to them. (Applause.) “Others have to do the talking at this part of the show,” said the Gover-nor-General, who was received with loud applause. “My.business is merely to declare the show open. The Mayor has said that many of yon do not possess a car; but I guarantee that nobody leaves this exhibition without wishing thxt he owned a motor-car—-(laughter and applause)—and I will not fail to tell the Auckland people what a magnificent show Wellington has put up. (Laughter and .applause.) I now have great pleasure in declaring #his motor exhibition open, and in wishing it every success.” (Applause.) In calling upon Mr Massey to say a few words, the Mayor said that, to speak at any time and under any circumstances was not a very great ordeal for a Prime Minister, because many a time he had to speak for halt an hour and say nothing—(laughter!— say nothing, at all events, that ons could lay hold of. (Laughter.) The Prime Minister, who was also well reoeived, said: “Just following up what has been said by His Excellency and Hia Worship the Mayor,. I desire to congratulate you on the success that has attended the opening of this exhibition; and I know it is going to be much' more successful before it comes to an end.” His Exoellency, continued Mr Massey, had congratulated them on the fine weather that day; well, he had been to two other such' exhibitions within the last few days, one at Auckland and the other at Dunedin, and in each case there had ’been great anxiety as to what the weather was going to be like. But in both places it had been very similar to what it was in Wellington that day. It seemed to him that if they wanted a fine day they had only to send for the Prime Minister and they would get it. (Laughter and applause.) It seemed to have fallen to his lot to

have to say a' word or two on behalf of Wellington, though he was sure that it was not necessary on that occasion. It reminded him of the afternoon some months ago, when Sir John Luke and he, who were very fond of Rugby football—of watching the game, not playing it nowadays (laughter)— had attended a representative match between two Auckland and Wellington teams. Everybody had thought that Auckland would have an easy win; but at half-time, when he had to leave to attend to some important public business, that game was going against Auckland very badly. As he was going away the people evidently got the impression that he was feeling downhearted because Auckland was being beaten, and a man, wishing to cheer him up, called out, “Never mind, Bill; you belong to Wellington now.” (Loud laughter Mid applause.) And he had been feeling like a Wellington man ever since; .but they must not tell Auckland that. (Laughter.) It was a magnificent show of motorcars, and he would like to think that the] greater part of them were British motor-cars. (Hear, hear.) Not that hie had anything to say against Ameri can arid French cars or people; but he did like to see British people patronising British workmanship. (Applanse.) He believed the time would come when we would build our own motor-cars in New Zealand (applanse); but that would be in the sweet by-and-bye, when every workingman would own hia own car. He had seen some motor bodies made in Christchurch and other parts of the Dominion—and some had been sent Home to Wembley (applause) — which would compare with anything made anywhere else in the world. (Applause.) He Was surprised that Briteih manufacturers did not make more endeavour to capture the dominion markets. Britain seemed for a time —though it was only for a time —to have lost her manufacturing supremacy ; hut, even now, nobody could do

better work than the British working* man. (Applause.) Nfew Zealand had had a good season, the farmers especially. Cm the whole the farmers I™< worked very hard and very! successful by and no doubt they would come along and invest in some of the cars in that exhibition; because, whenever a farmer had two or three’ hundred pounds to spare, he seemed to want to buy a car. (Laughter and .applause.) He could only conclude by wishing the exhibition every possible success, and that they would nave many equally successful exhibitions in the years to come. (Applanse.) On the call of tho Mayor; three hearty cheers were given tor Their Excellencies and for the euoceae of the Wellington Winter Show.

SOME OF THE EXHIBITS A VERY FINE DISPLAY. The very fine display of motor-cam includes three stands of Stadeibakei cars, a big range of which is exhibited by Messrs Adams, Limited, comprising 1924 models just arrived from the factory b> the City of Adelaide and tbs Trebartha. The open models are finished in the new Parisian red colour, which gives the cars a very smart appearance on the road, while the dosed cars are finished in dark maroon. It

is estimated that there are to-day over 5000 Studebaker cars in use in tho Dominion. On three different stands. Messrs A. Hatrick and Co., Ltd., show several fine examples of the WUlys-Knight ear, with its famous sleeve-valve motor. “the engine that improves with use”: also a full range of Overland models; and the Armstrong Siddeley “four-fourteen,” the latest addition to the famous line of cars turned out by

. the firm of Sir W. G. Armstrong, Whitworth and Co., Ltd., England. Messrs Dore and Co. esllibit a new series of Gray cars. The new Gray is remarkable for leg-room, and the comfort of its deep-seating, high-grade upholstery, over-stuffed curled nair, and the chassis has been lengthened to 104 in wheel base. A number of beautiful Fiat cars are also shown.

The Standard oars, of British manufacture, displayed by Messrs E. Reynolds and Co., Ltd., aro bound to attract attention. The 1924 models embody a numbor of improvements which visitors should make a point of inspecting. Something now in the way of motor-trucks is also shown by this firm, which claims that the very latest developments m truck manufacture are incorporated in its Indiana one-ton speed model. The Ford Sales and Service Co., Ltd., shows a good line of Ford cars; which, it claims, “are the only cars on the market that can now be. obtained at lower prices than those ruling in pre-war days,” while “at the same time the 1924 model is a far better vehicle than any of the previous types. This reduction and at same time improvement in the car has been made possible (it is stated) by larger production and special machinery tor manufacturing every part from the crankshaft to the smallest lock washer.’ 1 Messrs Petherick and 00. nave a good display of Arrol-Jahnston oar?, tiie high-grade 20 horse-power 4-cylm-der engine of which, combined with c--4-speed gear-box, is said to givei the Arrol-Johnston Empire, tonring car a give-and-take road and top-gear hillclimbing performance equalled by few and excelled by none. „ , American Motors exhibit new Uakland oar models, the new. engine -\'t whioh, it is claimed, gives silent, smooth power, and gives it unfauir.ely with instant response to the thro--tie. The car will accelerate from a walking pace to a mile a minute within a few seconds. The latest models of Jewett oars aro shown by the Shaw Motors, Ltd., and a splendid range of Austin ears by ' Magnus Motors. Ltd.; while Messrs India Bros, and Co., Ltd., display the 1924 Packard cars, including examples of the “Single-Six” and “StraightEight” types. On -the Magnus Motors stands are also to he seen Bodgr Brothers motor vehicles In various forms-—touring, roadster, business coupe, -business sedan, sedan de luxe, and chassis; together with Rolls-Royce oars, the name of which is the syn onym for excellency . all over uie W °A.B.O. Motors (N.Z.), Ltd., give • good display of Buick cars —including Sie six-cylinder seven-passenger sedan, the double service sedan, the six cylinder seven-passenger. touring car, the 6ix-cylinder five-passenger touring car, and the fouivcylinder touring car Dominion Motors, Ltd., show a very fine new Essex six, a new. Oldemobne six also a number of Cadillac, Chuv rolet, and Hudson cars. Quality oars yet cheap oars, are aimed at by this company as its (Treat _ speciality. The commercial vehicle section of the show comprises several Thonieyerort •lorries and an Overland special deli? ery van, exhibited by Messrs xtatrick and Co.; various Leyland motor vehi cles shown by Leyland Motors, Ltd . Graham trucks and White trucks. Magnus Motors, Ltd.; the 1924 International truck, A. 8.0. Motors, Ltd ; the latest model Republic trucks, Inniis Bros, and Co.; Albion trudks, A. D. Riley and Co.; Ltd.;. and Ohevrclet one-ton trucks, Dominion Motors, Ltd. CARNIVAL WEEK MANY ATTRACTIONS A varied programme. Wellington will be gay with the carnival spirit during the present week, and a varied programme of events and entertainments has -been drawn up. The winter show and associated! exhibitions will form a centre of attraction for thousands of people, and on afternoon could not. be better spent than in making the round of the vanoub exhibition sheds. In shed 29 are staged the winter show exhibits, and the poultry thaw opens there to-day. The industrial .exhibition occupies Ahed 17, the fat stipe show is m shed- 39, and the Olympia' motor exhibition, the finest motor display seen in Wellington, is in. the PSpitea wharf ahed.
