PALMERSTON SHOW.

GOOD ALL-ROUND DISPLAY. SHEEP AND CATTLE THE FEATURES. The weather was fine for the annual summer show of the Palmerston-Waihemo A and P. Society, which was held yesterday, and as a result a large crow ot settlers from the neighbouring districts ■was present. The show was one of the most successful yet held under the auspices of the society. The entries were a record in every way. All sections were well contested and not a few Dominion and provincial champions were on show. The catalogue was a large one, and embraced a large variety of classes, and it was no easy task to put through all the exhibits in the short time at the committee's disposal. The president (Mr W. B. Galloway) and the secretary (Mr £i. M‘William) were greatly assisted by a large and energetic working committee. The gate showed a considerable increase cn that of last year and the society’s finances will be greatly helped by this year’s event. At luncheon the .president took the opportunity to present two cups won outright last year to Mr J. M. Smith (Kakanui). At the same time he heartily thanked the judges and the various officials for the manner in which they h?.o carried out their duties. SHEEP. The various sheep classes contained many outstanding animals, chief among which were the Corriedales from Bushey Park and the Border Leicesfters from Mr T. S. Little’s stud at Windsor. The entries in both these sections were exceptionally good. Mr J. A. Johnstone’s Corriedales which took practically all the awards in their respective classes were a splendid bunch, many of which have already won Royal and provincial honours at Christchurch, Auckland. Oamaru, Dunedin, and Invercargill. The Border Leicester also made a particularly fine exhibit. It is to be regretted that the removal of Mr C. F. Overton from the district during the year should occasion the absence of his stock, which had become well known for its consistent quality. He would have been a rival worthy of the Windsor breeder, whoso stock have figured prominently at provincial show.? in Otago and Canterbury, and have also several Royal awards to their credit. Messrs J. Wylie and J. Chisholm also figured in the prize list. The merino display was supplied by Mr G. Ross, who was the only exhibitor. His stud has a more than local reputation, and has been seen at the Palmerston Show for many years now. Messrs D. Ross, Ireland Bros., and J. Chisholm were the only exhibitors in the Romney Marsh classes,, and the two firstnamed divided honours' fairly evenly. Tho male and female championships went to Mr D. Ross. The provision made for crossbred sheep was very meagre, there being only two classes in the schedule. The display consisted of a few good quality crossbred owes and hoggets. - The fat sheep classes were much more interesting, and many fine typos were shown. The lambs were in good condition and were for the most part eminently suited for the freezing industry. CATTLE. The cattle rings, though they included a wide range of types and breeds, were not as well filled as they might have been. Both beef and milking breeds wore represented, and the few crossbreds entered were of the best. The display of beef types consisted of a very fine bunch of Shorthorns from Bushey Park and a few Hereford.? and fat cattle. Mr Johnstone’s entry were .11 prominent prize-winners at metropolitan shows earlier in the season, and have won many championships at Christchurch, Oamaru, Dunedin, and Invercargil' The two animals entered in the three-year-old or over class were Bushey Park Augusta’s Hero and Bushey Park Lavender Royal, both of whom have a great record in the show ring. Augusta’s Hero is a son of Edgecote’s Hero, a £IO.OOO sire, and combines the Collynie and Millhills strains in his pedigrees—both of which strains are world famous.

The milking breeds. Friesians, Jerseys, and Ayrshires, were represented by a choice collection of high-grade, well-bred dairy cattle, amt the honours in each section were well distributed amen" the many well-known breeders and dairymen from the surrounding districts. There wore several good rings of crossbreds and fats, though the entries were not as heavy as they might have been. HORSES. Keen competition, good entries, and excellent quality characterised the horse display in both draught and light sections. Mr v. Smith (Kakanui) was present

with some of his renowned Clydesdales, and annexed several premier awards. Mr J. Dow (Outram) was also well represented by prize-winning stock. The light horse clSases inolucled many proved champions, among which were Mrs T. D. DalzieTs Chrysler (champion hack), Miss Nidholl’s Plato, and Mr G. Roberts’s Puzzle, who, by the way, had to take second place to another of his master’s strinc in the high jump. MISCELLANEOUS. Included in the schedule were wool classes, in which the entries, though not many, were of excellent quality. Poultry, baking, dairy produce, dogs, and competitions completed the programme. All these incidental displays greatly added to the success of the show, and each department had its throng of interested visitors. PRIZE LIST. The prize-list is as follows: CATTLE. AYRSHIRES.
