LAKE COUNTY SHOW
A SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION GOOD ENTRIES AND ATTENDANCE The twenty-third annual show of the Lake County A. and P. Society, which took place at Lake Hayes on Wednesday, wafe in all respects a very successful exhibition. The weather was fine, though the: sky was gray, conditions which, following as they did on many sunny and excessively hot days, contributed to the enjoyment of the large number of people present. The Show Grounds are charmingly situated overlooking Lake Hayes, and there were a few trees to provide shelter from sun and wind when the elements are a little out of time with the event, the location of the grounds could be .described as ideal. The entries were highly satisfactory considering the depressed conditions prevailing in the farming industry generally. It says much, indeed, for the fine spirit of the man on the land that, in spite of the bad times he.is going through, he rises to an occasion such as this—-packs up his troubles, bo to speak, and trundles his farm stock and produce over miles of dusty roads to the show. Hence it' is a source of much satisfaction when the general public support his efforts by their attendance, for the one is the undoubted complement of the other. In this connection it may be mentioned that the gate receipts exceeded those of last year. Though this increase was offset to a certain extent by a smaller sale of members’ tickets, there could be no cause for complaint. A feature of the show again this year Was the fine representation of light horses in the classes and in the competitions. The latter are of absorbing interest to the great body of the public. In this respect the society has shown its wisdom in developing the spectacular side more and more each year. The presence of the Queenstown Brass Band was missed, but the need for prudent economy in administration in times like these was responsible for no engagement being entered into this | year. The catering was entrusted to Mr L.; M'Soriley, whose conduct of this department was most satisfactory. The signal success of Lake County’s biggest annual fixture is undoubtedly due i to the ability of its office-bearers. Mr ■ Leo Lee, the worthy president, is the king pin of the show. Not only is he outstanding as an organiser, but he is himself a trojan worker, and he earns the ; full confidence of his fellow-officers. Associated with him as vice-president is Mr D. H. Cockburn, who gives him enthusiastic support. Grouped on the Executive Committee are also to be found a body of men who all make a substantial contribution to the successful running of the show machine. The secretarial duties again fell to the lot of Mr P.M. Tobin, who over a long period of years has filled this important post with considerable credit to himself and much advantage to the society. HORSES. The draughts comprised a fine string, several of the classes being well filled. The dry mares were outstanding. Mr D. Jardine, of Kawarau Falls station, was the most successful exhibitor, several firsts going his way, as well as the championship. This was awarded to a mare which the judge described as “out on his own.” Others who shared in the honours in a lesser degree were R. Shaw, M. Teehly, E. Jenkins, and L. Lee. The red card for spring-carters was awarded to Glencoe station, and that for the best foal to E. Shaw, who also won the special prize of £l, the gift of an anonymous donor. The thoroughbred section drew only two entries, but it would have taken some quality to have challenged the right of Mrs J. E. Thompson’s Marushka (Queensberry Hills) to the first prize and championship. There were splendid entries in the hackneys, a point worth mentioning in this connection being that they were all received from outside the immediate district. Included in the list were the Paines of Angus M'Donald (“The Plains
Station ”), Allan F. Speight (‘ Redcliffs”), D. C. Aubrey (Wanaka), and Mrs J. R. Thomson (Qucensberry Hills), All of these scored “off the red," while Glencoe station carried off the honours in two strong classes up to 13st and 15st respectively. THE COMPETITIONS.
Nothing in the schedule pleases the rank'and file of spectators as do the competitions. In fact, the greatest interest of the show centres in the jumping, hurdles, etc. Miss Prue Smith, of Tarras, was adjudged the best lady rider, with Mrs Allan Speight, of Eedcliffs, second. Over the flights Mrs W. E. Paterson, of “Ayrburn,” rode her mount into first place. This gave her also the Cardhu Cup for 1932. Miss A. Lewis, of Long Gully, and Miss Prue Smith, of Tarras, came second and third respectively. The girls beat the boys in the riding competition (13 years and under), Miss Edna Aubrey securing the red card and Miss Kathleen Lee the blue. The position was reversed in the pony trot, when Graham Douglas and Dickey Paterson were the placed boys. There were six entrants for the men’s leaping horse event, Mr J. M'Laren’s Gigha (Wairaki Downs station) securing the premier award, with Allan Speight’s Skyhawk second and D. .C. Aubrey’s mount third. The high jump found J. W. M'Laren’s Gigha again in first place, and Allan Speight’s Skyhawk in the second, with J. W. M'Lean’a Sunshine next in order. Both Gigha and Skyhawk failed at sft 4in, but a supreme effort took the first-named over, his rival falling two inches short of this. A large number of amateur riders tried their equestian skill over the flights, A. R. Inder being singled out for first honours, which carry the cup presented by Messrs Angus Macdonald and Linton Mann. There were one or two “ spills ’’ during the afternoon, but the riders gracefully reseated themselves, apparently none the worse for their experience. CATTLE.
For some years Ayrshires were the pride of the Lake County show cattle classes, when M'Adam Bros, and Allan Bros, were prominent exhibitors. On Wednesday the breed was unrepresented. The entries forward in the other classes were certainly reflecting the dry conditions which have prevailed for some weeks past in the district. Messrs William Reid and Sons richly deserved the champion awards given their Friesian bull and cow, while Mrs A. Brown’s animals ran them fairly closely. Mr Milnes was, with one exception, the only exhibitor in the Jersey classes, Messrs William Reid and Sons were again very prominent in the dairy section. •». IN THE SHEEP PENS. As was the case last year, there were no outside exhibitors, local flock owners having the pens to themselves. The enries were slightly in advance, numerically, of those of last year, and the standard of quality somewhat improved. There was little competition in merinos, Messrs Watt Bros, being solo exhibitors. The judge gave the championship to a ewe in the pairs, it being nearest to the desired standard than the flock ram shown. The Romney Marsh section comprised a full catalogue from the flocks of Messrs William Paterson and Son, of “Ayrburn," who specialise in this popular breed. Their pair were well matched throughout, and the quality was uniformly good. In the ewe lamb pairs it was rather better than in the rams. A two-shear ram carried off the championship. In the opinion of the judges the Corriedale section was a long way ahead of what it was when they did duty two years ago. The main exhibitors in this were Messrs W. S. Reid, of “ Willowbrook,” and E. A. Bloxham, “ Bendemeer.” Last year the latter gathered in most of the red cards, but the tables were rather turned on him on Wednesday by his rival, who got five firsts and two seconds as against Mr Blosham’s two firsts and seven seconds. In awarding Mr Reid the championship for one of his pair of ewes over 20 months, the judge did so without any qualifying reservations. The two-shear ram carrying the blue card had an excellent carcass but was rather coarse in the wool. Messrs Watt Bros, had an easy first with their one-shear ram.
The competition in crossbreds (finewool) was pretty keen, and some good animals were grouped in the various classes. On the whole they were ap-
proaching very near to the halfbrefi type, which made the judging rather difficult. Mr D. H. Cockburn was the most successful exhibitor in the ewes, Messrs L. Lee . and P. Reid figuring in the wethers, and H. Dagg in the lambs. In strong-wools the honours were mostly with D. Et. Cockburn. The butchers’ wethers and ewes were both on the big side, though young. Freezers were a fairly even lot. Watt Bros, gathered in most prizes here, with Messrs William Reid and Sons close up. The other awards were distributed between individual exhibitors. DOGS. The entry of dogs was smaller than was the case last year, when competition wag at the peak. The championship was awarded to Reg. Hansen’s Scamp, a smooth-coated collie of outstanding merit and intelligence. GRAIN, SEEDS AND ROOTS. Lake County has always earned distinction in respect of its grain crops, and this season has been no exception. Ali cereals were well up to the accustomed high standard. Potato samples were excellent, but the turnips shown were obviously the worse for the dry season. FRUIT AND FLOWERS. The main exhibits in the fruit section were sent in by two Central growers, Messrs W. Wright and P. M. Mooney. The samples shown were clean and well formed, and though the entry was not large it attracted a lot of attention. The flowers comprised a magnificent collection of blooms. Especially fine were the asters, the judge declaring he had never seen such a wealth of colour or anything so large and well grown. The cultivation in respect of sweet peas was also a feature ox this section. SUNDRIES. The entries were again very numerous 'in this section, which always proves one of absorbing interest for people of all ages—menfolk included. In almost every class there was big competition as well as a high standard' of baking evident. This made the task of the judge (Mrs J. T. N. Grant, Cromwell) no easy one. The collection of cakes wag amazing, especially when the fact is takep into consideration that harvesting is keeping farmers’ wives and daughters particularly busy just now. The judge expressed herself very enthusiastically respecting the exhibits of preserves, which would take some beating. DAIRY PRODUCE. This section was not quite as strong as it was last year in the way of entries, but the representation was fairly wide. The distribution of prizes was spread over the exhibitors, so that the standard was good all_ round. Mrs W. Gordon, of Arthur’s Point, staged a most attractive entry of fancy butter, depicting a cottage garden scene worked out in considerable detail. For the third year in succession she was honoured with the first award. PRIZE LIST. The prize list is as follows: — HORSES DRAUGHTS. Judge: Mr J. Tisdale (Oamaru). Brood mare, with foal at foot.
