FORTY-NINTH SUMMER SHOW. AN OUTSTANDING EXHIBITION. JUDGING OF SHEEP AND CATTLE. (From Our Special Reporter.) „ . GORE, December 2. -the Gore A. and P. Association’s lorty-ninth summer show was commenced to-day an very favourable circumstances, i r? p ’i Pa r t>«darly unhoused and unclothed sorts, carry unmistakable evidence ot the season m their fleeces, and dairy cattle, although they appear to be keeping production well up to last year’s level, look as if they are using what feed there )s tor milk production to the detriment ot general conditions. This is one of the most noticeable features of the dairy sections, in which there are many cattle that are far from being in show condition, -the entries show a 10 per cent, reduction compared with last year, but this is not a great drop at a, time when the outlook tor the marketing of produce is such as to add a further burden of anxiety to the concern which is exercising the minds ot pastorahsts generally, and the support accorded the show reflects great credit “P-°° exhibitors of the Eastern District of Southland. • num^er of entries this year Tki 0 ! 9, comp t a - red pith 1115 last year. ibe sheep sections have more than held if Quality generally does cfn n 6ac j e of previous years the season and the fact that less time could n!wf£f red fo L preparation may be regarded as sufficient explanation.

A show ceases to be representativc of the resources of a district i—A SVr r e U™“' d fir a .•at Mr T 6!? tota l for several years, is „,r -i-B- Cades, of Edendale, whose stud was dispersed last winter. Jerseys, too, are numerous and crossbred dairy entries have slumped considerably. Pat cattle are poor in number but an increased showed of milking Shorthorns breed** 58 8 nsin S Popularity for the intWi C *n try of horses, which will be d to-morrow, is smaller than for y j ar f> heavy and light being catalogued to-day, compared with 328 last year. Largely increased entries in the home industries department of the show have saved the association from Jiavmg to report a very serious shrinkage in exhibits.

The show is one of the most representative exhibitions of the season, however, W a V l l? h is to rank among the best of the South Island fixtures. No section is given undue prominence. There are no fewer than nine breeds of sheen m the catalogue and half a dozen breeds T fallc tbe entries come from studs that have proved their quality in competition with the best stock in - the ii? U vr and “any of the pick of the North Island studs also. There are very few sections that lack competition, so that winners of prizes can feel that uimr awards are no empty honours secured through lack of a rival. AROUND THE SHEEP PENS. The best of the sheep displays were to be found in the Romney Marsh and Herder Leicester pens, the entries being particularly, good and the quality very xair. It is doubtful whether there is a better stretch of sheep country in New Zealand than the expanse between Gore and. Moa Flat, and significant proof of this fact, is to be found in to-day’s prize list, which contains the names of many breeders in that region. Some of the best sheep in the show came from Moa nlat, and a lot of prize money will go % e . r !\ Messrß R - Yardley and Sons (Moa r lat) were among the most prominent of the Romney Marsh exhibitors, and altogether had a most successful day. iheir sheep were in remarkably good condition, and although the wool showed signs of the weather of the past three months, they were well covered with very fair quality fleeces. If it impossible, however, to close one’s eyes to the deterioration of the wool in all the natural-condition classes. Fine wools, of course, have turned the rain better than the stronger types, but most of it has suffered severely. Some sheep of the coarser-woolled variety carry fleeces, the backs of which bear testimony to the steady rains. Not only the tips, but_ the roots have suffered, and it may be conjectured that the classing of the clip this year will indicate a greater loss than is apparent at present. Messrs R. Yardley and Son secured both ram championships with two nicely-woolled, well-condi-tioned sires, and were particularly prominent in the hogget classes. The youngsters appear to have come through the season much better than the maturer sheep The Moa Flat ewe hoggets were exceptionally good, but the female championships were annexed by Southland breeders the supreme award going to Mr J. A. Edwards (Otikerama) with a very good housed ewe, and the reserve championship to a clothed aged ewe exhibited by Mr W. Kennedy, of Otautau. Messrs Yardley and Son’s reserve champion ram was a natural-conditioned ram hogget of great quality. Messrs W, and J. Johnston (Ashley Downs), J. A. Edwards, W. Kennedy, and W. G. Ladbrook (Gore), and W. M'Donald (Balfour) were the most successful exhibitors in a very good section. Messrs Yardley and Son included in their laurels both the Mackinnon Trust trophies for Romneys. Messrs J. A. Edward and W. Kennedy (Otautau) were responsible for a very creditable display of Border Leicesters. In both housed and natural-condition classes they were keen rivals, and the general standard of quality was such as to occasion the judge no little work in selecting the prize-winners. Mr J. A, Edwards took both of the ewe championships, and he also showed the champion ram, all these animals being selected from the unhoused and unclothed classes. Mr W. Kennedy’s aged housed ram took the reserve championship. The fact that only two studs were represented in this section did not detract from the keenness of the opposition, whereas it contributed towards a uniformity of type and quality that was very noticeable.-

English Leicesters made a good showing. Messrs Evans Bros., the well-known Longbush breeders were represented by a very likely-looking team, but Mr W. Kennedy, of Otautau, proved just too keen a rival, although he had to concede the ram championship to the Longbush stud. Most of the class awards went to Mr Kennedy as well as the cwo championship. Messrs Evans Bros, provided the whole of the Ryeland exhibit, and Mr H. P. M'lntyrc (Waikaka) filled the Corriedalc pens. Mr W. B. Andrew (Timaru) judged both sections, and remarked on the very good quality and rigid adherence to type in both breeds.

Messrs Evans Bros. (Longbush) and Mr A. W. Pannett (Clinton) were the most prominent exhibitors of Southdowns, both showing very good sheep and taking the bulk of the awards. Messrs Evans Bros.’ aged ram was just too good for Mr Pannett’s entry, and won the championship, the Clinton sheep securing the reserve award. Both the ewe champions were found among Mr Pannett’s entries in the class for ewes, 30 months or under. They were an attractive pair, well grown, and nicely covered. Mr W. G. Ladbrook (Gore) took one third prize", the remainder of the class honours goin'*' to Messrs Evans Bros, or to Mr Pannett’. There was an excellent section of cross-

bred sheep, and competition -was unusually keen, but the fat sheep classes lacked the support that could reasonably be expected. CATTLE. Messrs W. Y. Dickie and Sons, the Ferndale Friesian breeders, had things very much their own way in the black and white breed. They have already had a strenuous show season, but do not appear to have suffered from hard travelling, The old bull, Bloomfield Alcontra Clothilda, secured a well-deserved championship, the reserve award going to Messrs Christie Bros. (Tuturau),, who showed a very stylish little two-year-old, Lauderdale Duke. The males showed better condition than the majority of the cows and heifers, but there were more outstanding types among the females, although there were extremes of good and bad. _ The champion cow was Messrs Dickie and Sons’ Willowbrook Posch, an aged cow of great quality with real dairy character. The same breeders secured the reserve championship with Plantation Cremona Princess Sylvia, recently acquired from the stud of Mr T. R. Eades, of Edendale. Most of the heifer awards wentto the Ferndale stud, Mr Robert H* Dickie, of Tuturau. being runner-up in most classes. Jerseys were a good class, and tbs Tapanui breeder, Mr N. Moore, was represented by a large team. He did not do. as well as he has done in the past at this show, finding the opposition of Mr W, Johnston (Gore) and Mr M. Cramer (Gore) just too strong. The bull championship went to Mr W. Johnston’s Sunstar, with Mr N. Moore’s Oaklands Clarion a good second and reserve champion. .Mr Johnston also took the female championship with a nice type of herd matron. The reserve champion was Mr Moore's Picotee Nancy. Mr M. Cramer showed some excellent types of young stock, and was particularly prominent in the yearling heifer classes. Red Polls were forward in fair turn; hers, but there was no competition, and Mr C. G. Bennett (Waipounamu) showed the only Ayrshire. Mr J. A. Edwards (Otikerama) was responsible for the small but select entry of Herefords, and Messrs C. R. Keir (Ferndale), J. L, Keir (Ferndale), H. B. Bacon (Gore), and Keir Bros. (Ferndale) made the milking Shorthorn rings interesting. PRIZE LIST. The following is the prize list;— CATTLE. MILKING SHORTHORNS. Judge: Mr W. J. Grant (Outrain).
