PALMERSTON-WAIHEMO SHOW.

AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS. FINE DISPLAY OF HORSES. HIGH CLASS DAIRY CATTLE. The weather was perfect for the animal summer show yesterday of the lal-merston-Waihemo Agricultural ana i astoral Association. The spacious and beautifully situated show at I aimerston were thronged with visitors all dav, and the admirable natural grandstand formed by the grassy slopes which surround the ring, was covered mth people. This is the forty-seventh show ot this association, and the grounds, a.ter a little improvement each year, have now become very nearly the in OUgo. The large ring was early filled with ex Mbits and bustling officials, many sections being judged simultaneous!}, with the result that the day’s programme was carried out with no unnecessary delay. This year's president is Mr D. J - tvoss (Hillcrove), while the position of secretary is still held by the old veteran, Mr 4 A. M'William. Both of these offi cials* are to be congratulated upon the » cellent manner in which they directed the energies of. the large working committee, which assisted the judges. The re suit of their work was the. holding o the grand parade of prize-winning stock or quality but both horses and dairy cattle S. horses were well up to standard. CATTLE. The three dairy breeds of cattle wer.e represented by very fine types of cows and bulls, but the competition ml S ht , h , been keener. The entries "'ere good but the competition in each section num bred cL'lv two or three. Inittie Jers^ey claves Messrs R. Riddle, D. Wright, and W" Reid divided honours fairly even-and Messrs T. Hewitt (Goodwood) and Nicolon Bros. (Hampden) had . things all their own way in the Friesian classes. Ayrshire? were the strongest class, ami competition was very - % p A. Tubman. P. Walker, and D and G Reid shared the class awards fairly evenlv. The dairy type in all the breeds was very pronounced, and proied thst breeding for production has been tackled seriously by dairymen m this clis tr The dairy, crossbred, and any breed classes were very interesting, and it is doubtful whether many finer rmra j dairy cows have been seen in the South Island than that which was paraded for the best dairy type on the hfres Black and whites, Jerseys, and Ayrshires rubbed shoulders in this section the honours eventually going to ° ne , ot Hewitt’s Friesians. The beef breeds were represented by a small contingent of Scotch Shorthorns from Mr J. A. Johnstone’s select herd at Bushey Park. There •was no opposition. Some fair pens of fat cattle completed the entry. ROUND THE SHEEP PENS. The sheep entry was not good enough for such a district as that served by this eociety. There was neither quantity nor variety, and even some of the popular breeds were represented by animals which, though in good enough condition, were not 'good typical specimens of the breed.. For the first time in many, years, if not in the history of the association. Southdowns and Ryelands found their way into the pens. Both breeds were only on exhibition, but a great deal of interest was shown in the few pens Messrs J. and M. Payne exhibited the Southdowns, which were the pick ot a line of 30 recently purchased for trial m this country. The Ryelands were sent in by Mr P. Walker. For breed character and uniformity of type the Cornedale entry, must take the laurels. These animals, the majority of which came from Bushey Park, have earned honours in the best of company, which make their reputation at county shows unassailable. Messrs J. and M. Payne were new exhibitors in this field, and their sheep did not go unrecognised. The prize-winning animals were by Bushey Park rams Mr D. J. Ross also figured in the prize-list. Mr G. Ross met no opposition in the merino pens, and the Romney classes were monopolised by Messrs. D. Ross and Ireland Bros. A triangular contest in the Border Leicester classes saw Mr J. Uhisholm triumph over Messrs P. Walker and P. J. Callaghan. Mr D. Ross was prominent in the crossbred classes. THE HEAVY BRIGADE.

The draught horse classes contained some splendid examples of the heavy farm horse, but the numbers were not up to what might reasonably be expected of this district. The entry was slightly larger than that of last year, so that in a year or two this show should bring its display of Clydesdales up to a reasonably high standard as regards numbers. The entries numbered two or three, and these were yearlings and two-year-olds. Perhaps the most outstanding animal in the various rings was a filly exhibited by the Bushey Park Estate. This two-year-old won the red ticket in her class, and was later awarded the New Zealand Clydesdale Society’s silver medal for competition among yearlings and two-year-olds. Her final triumph was the supreme female championship. Her performance was certainly a meritorious one. Messrs W. R. Wedge, C. M'Callum, J- Cook, J. Reid and D. Ross were among the prize-win-ners. The farm teams and working draughts made up some excellent classes, and the competition for the class awards was very keen. The representation of females compensated in some degree for the lack of entries, but it is regrettable that, the male entry should have been so small. It suggests that the breeding of heavy horses in the Waihemo County is passing through a period of slump. LIGHT HORSESThe entry of light horseflesh of all descriptions was very large and very mixed. There were hacks, thoroughbreds, and ponies of all sorts, and competition was keen in almost every class. Among the exhibitors of hacks were several Dunedin owners _Misses Statham and Greenslade, and Mrs T. D. Dalziel being among the prize-winners. .The hack championship wont to Miss Greenslade. Miss V. M. H. Nicholis (Maheno) and Mr H. Nicolson (Hampden) were also successful, while Mr D. Ross (Palmerston) took away a number of red tickets also. Mr G. Roberts s horses were also in the money. A very noticeable feature of the pony classes was the large proportion of young animals. This, to some extent, effected the general standard of quality, as the youngsters have not learned much in the way of manners and good behaviour at two, three, or even five years. A pony is seldom at its best before it has reached seven or eight years of age. In one class of 10 entries, not one animal was over five years of age, and seven had_ not yet reached four. Among the entries were several two-year-olds. This augurs well for the future of this class of stock in Waiherno County. To a lesser extent the same applied to the hacks and roadsters. Too often breeders and exhibitors stick to the same horses far too long—perhaps until they are 15 or 20 years of age, and then when it is too late they find that there is insufficient young stuff coming on. There need be little fear of this being the case in respect of the Palmerston Show. COMPETITIONS.

The programme of competitions included pony trots, jumping, a high jump, and a stockmen’s race. A great deal of interest centred round these events, particularly on account of the fact that a prominent rider was young W M’Donald, the 12-year-old stepson of Mr George Roberts, who had already won the palm for the best boy rider This young horseman further demonstrated his ability in the saddle by riding one of his stepfather’s horses to victory in the high jump, and later winning the stockman’s race against a large field of competitors. In the final run his pony tell, and the other finalist (H. Coutts) called the race off, and gave the boy another chance —• generosity which cost him the race. The

three pony trots staged proved very interesting contests, and loud applause greeted the winners of each dvent. Miss Gladys Mills's win by a very short length was a popular one. A notable absentee from the competition events was Mr W. Hastie, whose string has been consistently successful at shows this season. An unavoidable mishap prevented their appearance in the ring. HOME INDUSTRIES. The home industries section at Palmerston is always a good one. Dairy produce and baking entries were very good, and competition was keen. The judge, Miss Kempsheli (Maungatua). said that all the entries were good. The dairy produce was in very fine condition, the butter possessing good flavour, colour and sweetness. The products of the kitchen came in for the same praise. Other commodities on display were eggs, bacon, vegetables, and several coops of poultry of various breeds. The special prize awarded for most points in these classes was won by Miss J. Chisholm, whose list of prizes was a formidable one. PRIZE LIST. The following is the prize-list: SHEEP. MERINOS.
