CLUTHA VALLEY SHOW.

EXHIBITS REACH HIGH STANDARD. I COMPREHENSIVE DISPLAY. JUDGES’ EXCELLENT TRIBUTES. Despite bitterly cold and generally . wretched conditions a large number of residents of the ■ district attended the Clutha Valley A. and P. Society's annual show, which was held at Tuapeka Mouth yesterday, and when icy rain and snow squalls swept across the valley the capacity of the hall in which the bulk of the exhibits were housed was taxed- to the uttermost by those seeking shelter. Although considerably handicapped by the adverse, weather conditions, the organisation work of the show was conducted on such sound lines that little, or no inconvenience through delay was noticeable, and considerable credit for the successful carrying out, of the show is due to the, secretary (Mr H. Dunlop) and tne strong committee assisting him. Notwithstanding a slight numerical decrease in the. entries as compared with last year the standard of the exhibits was particularly, high in all sections of the show, and both the society and the exhibitors alike are_ to be complimented on the success ot their efforts. judge of the sheep doge (Mr W. Craig, of Awaraangu) stated that the entries were not up to the standard of previous shows, although the winner of the special prize for smooth-haired collie sluts was a very good type, whilst the dog gaining second place was an exceptionally good type, but was showing signs of age. The quality of the honey exhibits was. on the whole, very good, stated the judge (Mr'S. C. Rhodes, ot Dunedin). A better representation in the iction honey was looked for, hut it appeared tha. this was a sideline with most beekeepers. . The extractor jcombs were a splendid lot, and the samples of beeswax were turned out in excellent style. The liquid honey classes were good, whilst cue. granulated honey exhibits were capable of holding their own in any competition. High praise for the fruit section was given by the judge (Mr A. M'Donald. of Outram), who stated that the quality of the exhibits was a great credit to the district. Compared with the exhibits shown two years ago, the quality had advanced to a very great extent,, and one *f the exhibits in the cooking apple classes, composed of Alfnstons, was one of the finest displays he had ever seen ■ln all the exhibits the colouring was exceptionally f;ood. while the fruit was sound, juicy, and crisp, with no trace of black spot. The only drawback in some of the classes was a lack of uniformity in size. The judge of the dairy produce (Mr J J. Henry, of Dunedin) stated that he was much impressed by the quality of the. butter placed before him, the close competition and- the evenness of ' the quality making the adjudication very difficult The fresh and powdered butter classes produced exhibits of exceptional quality. In. the preserves section there was a alight falling off in the numbers of exhibits, but what was lost in quantity was more than compensated for in quality, the judge (Miss M'Millan) ■ stating that the nigh quality and the dose competition , in this section maintaining a particularly high standard. The . baking section was also exceptionally good, the fruit cake dasses being outstanding. The most outstanding bird in the utility poultry section, stated Mr W, Jarvie (Outram) was a Rhode Island Red cockered, exhibited by F. Soper. This bird possessed excellent top -and underneath colouring. On the whole, however, the exhibits generally were not quite up to standard, the strongest class being the White .Leghorns. . The White Leghorn pullets and the Black Minorca hens were excellent birds, while the White Rocks were fairly good. The Black Orpingtons were fair, but were inclined to show white tipping on the flight feathers. The Barred Rocks exhibits were very good, showing excellent barring right to the skin. These birds were also of a very good type. The gold-pencilled Hamburgs vere weak in barring. The majority of he Indian Runner ducks exhibited were inclined to show spoon bill, and -were also not very upright in type. " The White Runners were good in bill, ’ but were also poor in type. -, Commenting on the cut .flowers, vege tables, and potatoes, the judge {Mr C. E Naish) stated that the outstanding exhibits were to be found in the onion and parsnip classes. The collections of vegetables were also excellent displays. - The potato exhibits were excellent, and would have done credit to a much larger show, in the cut flowers section the decorated f Vaß i es showe , d B° od tast « in the selection of colours and arrangement, ihe following is the prize list:— FAT SHEEP.
