SECOND DAT— FRIDAY.

(Saturday's Daily Times.) The scene at Tahuna Park throughout ye3ierday, and especially during the afternoon, proved beyond question that the second day of the Summer show is rightly described as .the " People's Day." It has now come to be a settled thing that, with anything like favourable weather, the people attend the show in great numbers, and display much interest in it, and in the incidental attractions accompanying it. Those who remember the early years of struggle and neglect through which the .society passed, and the loyal adherence to public interest manifested by all connected with it, and by a small but discriminating section of the public, must regard with great satisfaction the dense crowds of interested spectators which now gather at the Park on the People's Day. The weather yesterday, after threatening somewhat sternly, again proved favourable, and the day was bright and clear, without being hot and dusty; in fact, it could hardly have been better for man or beast. Among those present were the Hon. John M'Kenzie (Minister for Lands and Agriculture), ihe Hon. J. G. /Ward, and Mr J. D. Ritchie (Secretary fo» -Agriculture). . The arrangements were the - Bame as formerly, and it would be hard -to see how they could be materially changed, for -the better. Much general interest was taken an the jumping -matches, in the polo games, -and in the judging of the carriage horses and ladies' hacks,- while of" course each section of the show had its share of those who were specially, attached to ijt, ox whose Occupations /gave them an aptitude for appreciating' the v 3nerits of the exhibits; -The proprietors of the side show tents, and of other means of .entertaining the public, seemed to be prosperous, and some of them were certainly noisy and amusing. A liberal display of 'bunting, in which the British and American flags were frequently paired, made the seen© appropriately gay. and the bands of music — Ahe North-East Valley and the Industrial 'School Bands — contributed their share to the general enjoyment, and consequently, to the success, of the gathering. Again the display of draught horses was a leading feature of *he exhibition, both on account of the number of entries, and the splendid character i-f the exhibits. For several years the " parade of stock" has appeared on the programmes only, and though yesterday the parade was only a partial one, it was satisfactory to find an attempt was made to hold this display. The prize cattle were shown in this manner, and duly admired, and a parade of horses (would have been held but for the fact that It i"waß not possible to get the judging completed in time. Taken altogether, however, there can -be no question that the show was a great success, that its popularity was merited, and that the society will continue to grow in |?;iblic favour.,

DRAUGHT HORSES. There was a capital display of draught hordes, there being altogether 126 entries, as against 117 last year. . The quality of tlife exhibits, .taking them' all through, was. quite _pp to the standard of former -shows, while "ihe animals -.exhibited in many of the breeding classes would have been a credit to any fehow. There were all 63 entries in these glasses,, which- attracted much attention. - In phe aged entire class Mr James .Patrick's fivell-known horse Clydebank, who was first tn his class at the Taieri, took firat prize, a eecently-imported horrfe named Garryowen, which was shown br the bame exhibitor, being *he only other animal in the same ring. Of the umrthree-year-old entries, Mr W. Gardiner iiun.'s, Sandy Erskine was considered to be ihe best ; and, besides being first in his class, he was awarded the champion certificate for Brought entires. The same animal was also Srst in his class and champion at Oamaru. •He was recently imported along with Garry'pwen, and both horses were so* much knocked sibout on the voyage out from England that fcnany who saw them on their arrival here had irather a poor opinion -of them. Both horses ihave, however, since picked uo wonderfully, and they created not a little surprise in the Bhow ring. Sandy Erskine, the champion, is only two and a-half years old. He is a horse i»f great strength, with good bone and fine' thair, and promises to develop into a capital hor_se. Mr James Bruce's Marechal Niel ran Biim very close for first place in the three-year-old class. The two-year-olds formed a Slice ring. There were six of them, the first prize falling to Messrs King Bros.' Gallant '.Lad, an upstanding, well-bodied animal; .-while a horse which belongs to Mr W. •Blackie, and has Shepherd Lad for a. sire, secured second place. Mr Blaekio's exhibit, f Ithough a little lacking in body, had the finest set of legs on the ground, and showed i. lot of quality. The yearling colts formed a ring of five. Mr John Calender's colt—one of Lord Lyon's s.tock— who was first "in his class at the Taieri, was also easily firat at Tahuna Park. He is a very fine colt, showing, size, substance, and quality, and has capital feet, and' moves well. Mr W. Gardiner jun.'s colt, which was placed second, is a neat, compact horse, but does not compare with the first prize taker. In the class mare to foal this season,"three nice animals faced the judges, there being very little to choose between the first two. Mr Webster's mare, who carried off tho first prize, was, however, rather better topped than Mr Robinjson's Gallant Lass, who secured second prize. The mares with foal at foot were six in number, and they formed a splendid ring. Mr 'James Gow's Blossom, who got the coveted pink ticket, tok first place last year at the Taieri as a dr,y mare, and her soundness carried her through yesterday. Mr James Drain's Molly M'Arthur, who was placed second, is a neat, compact animal, and although sound and active, she is beginning to ■how slackness across the loins. Mr R. Charter's old mare Jewel 111, who is showing Bi'gns of wear and tear, took third prize. Mr J. Patrick's Lad Kilsyth would in all I [probability have been first, but she did not get a place owing to her deficient action. The dry mares of any age were also a good 9ot, and took a lot of judging. There were feix of them, and Mr R. Charters's fine mare jPearl was deservedly given the pride of place, j •3Sfr J. Drain's Girlie-^-an animal almost j equally as good in quality, but not having such' good action — taking second prize. The ifchree-year-old fillies, of which there 'were five, formed a good.ring, but they were.. easily judged. Mr R: Charter/ s " Lassie, who avas "first in her class, and c .'.nipion'mare of '|he show, being very much, belter than any •Jpf the others. The two-year-old fillies were also a nice lot, there being not a bad one among the six on view. The first three belonged to Mr R. N Charters, and there was not a great deal to choose between them. The yearling fillies wero a particularly good clas3, ii nice animal from the Seacliff Asylum taking first prize. In the c!as3 "pair of 'dry maros, .which have been regularly worked," there ,were four exhibits. The animals were a splendid lot, but easily judged. The class " mare, and two of her progeny " brought out a nice ring of animals, there being not a bad ono amongst them. The prize for the

best group of four Clydesdale mares or fillies fell to Mr. It. Charters. There were three fine groups in the ring, but they were easily judged, the superiority of Mr Charters's three-year-old filly and Pearl to any of the animals in the other groups telling largely in his favour. The draught working horses were not quite so numerous as last year, but their quality, on the whole, was superior to what has been seen here for many years. There were 10 aged geldings, which formed a splendid ring, the judges considering that six or seven of the animals were worthy of a prize. Mr James Patrick took first prize for the best team of three horses suitable for ploughing, with a capital team. Three other nice teams were shown, and the judges had Borne difficulty in placing the prize winners. Some very serviceable town carriers', spring van, and spring- cart horses were also exhibitea", there being good competition in each of these classes.

CARRIAGE HORSES.

Over 50 entries were received in this section, and the splendid quality of the animals that for the most part comprised the exhibits must have given keen satisfaction to those who can appreciate a good bit of horseflesh. In the first class — carriage entire — a. wellformed lot of horses competed, and Mr F. Simmonds, of Timaru, carried off first with Agamemnon. .Mr L. D. Robertson's Shamrock was awarded second plaoe. Mrs Cutten secured first place without any for a handsome" pair of carriage horses, showing good style and substance. For the class pair |. of waggonette' horses there were but two entries, neither showing any particular merit. Dr Martin was awarded first, and his pair - beat Mr Jeffs chiefly on the score of youth. Mr Robert Bagrie (Waipahi) showed a fine, well-matched pair of buggy horses. The | Dunedin Tramway Company won tho competition for the best three horses suitable for tram or 'bus work with a wonderfully well-matched team, two of which were by Wolverine. The class for dogcart horses brought out some beaixtiful animals, but there was no difficulty in picking the winners. In the opinion of the judges, Mr Buckley's Medico is one of the finest horses of his class exhibited in the colony, and would be very hard to beat anywhere. Dr M'Kellar took fir3t in single "bugsjv horses with a stylish, wellbred mare, Lady Stanton. Two four-in-hand teams, entered "by Mr Jeffs, constituted I the total entries in their class. The tandem teams were very good, and Mrs Cutten took first, with Mr J. Jeffs second.

HACKNEYS,

A noticeable feature in the hackney section { was the inability of the exhibitors to classify their exhibits. A number of horses in this class could not be regarded as hackneys, and should have come under the heading of carriage horses. Mr F. Rojcen secured first for Cock of the Walk, a hackney entire of good breeding. Mr Cutten' s entry in the class for two-year-olds was awarded first, and a similar honour in yearlings was carried off by Mr M. Bp.rr. Mr Buckley's Medico again scored in the class for hacks up to 14st, but there was a good runner-up in Mr A. Ehvorthy's Gay Imd, a handsome chestnut .that was generally admired. Miss E. Elworthy secured first for a lighter hack in "the succeeding class, and the Dunedin Tramways Company won • the 'competition for the best lady's horse.

BLOOD STOCK.

Two entries comprised the exhibits of blood stock. Mr George Ruthven's Casket was the only entire, and Mr Leedham entered a mare in foal, but she was far from in good condition.

COBS AND PONIES.

In this section there were fairly good entries.' Mr E. P. W. Burbury and Mrs Davis were placed first and second for their exhibits. A very pretty pair of ponies in harness was entered by Miss Gray, and beat Mr Jeffs in that class. LEA.PIXG MATCHES. Considerable interest centred in the leaping matches, and tha crowd were very demonstrative. A ready disposition was shown to ridicule the victims of. a mishap, but the applause was generously bestowed where any good performance was shown. Miss Button (of Rangitata) repeated her success of last year, and won the competition for the best hunter, as well as for the best leaping horse. Mr E. K. Reid secured second place in each of these competitions. For the highest jump some very good leaping was witnessed, and eventually Messrs Gardner and Hazlett tied for first place at sft 4^in. Both horses stopped when that height was reached, but subsequently Mr Gardner's mount proved his ability to negotiate it. Mr Alex. Imrie won the competition for the polo or stockman's horse with an animal that was unusually quick in coming about.

CARRIAGES.

The display in carriages shows a considerable decrease, several makers explaining that they have been too busy to make any preparation for exhibiting. "Mr J. Barnes bliows two double - seated buggies, 9ne of which is handsomely painted in rich maroon lake, and trimmed with leather. He also exhibits a strongly-made, yet light, milk cart, which quite upholds his reputation as a builder. He makes a special feature of this claes of vehicle.

Messrs J. Robin and Co. show a doubleseated buggy, with turn-over seat. The seat at the back is very wide, and there is plenty of leg-room. They also exhibit a varnished station waggon, with spindle seats, the vehicle being mounted on steel axles. The tyres are of steel, and the hubs are patent iron bound. A dog cart is also shown on the stand, and this_ has indiarubber tyres, patent axles and springs. The rubber tyres take away all tho jar in riding, and the carl runs practically noiselessly. It has a sliding seat, which can be used to accommodate two or four. The "Eureka" sulky shown is a very light trap, weighing about 2cwt. The springs are Mr Robin's own patent. All the exhibits are got up in first class style. • Amongst the exhibits of Messrs Hordern and^White is one of their " Record " buggies, which is built with ash and walnut panels, and varnished all over. It is handsomely picked out with black and fine lines of carmine. The seat is an ingenious contrivance, and by pressing a spring the buggy can be "made to accommodate two or four persons. The leather trimming is of a dark colour, and blonds well with the varnished wood. .Tho handles and' mountings are solid nickel. Tho next in the line is" a double buggy, which is also a neat and- comfortable vehicle. The trimming is maropn leather, and the vehicle is painted dark i>rown, with straw colour and fine vermilion lines. Tho wheels are shell band, and "steel axles and concord springs are used. The back seat folds in when not in use. A single-seat buggy, with Sarvern patent wheels, painted lake, and trimmed with claret leather, is also shown. It is highly finished throughout, the lamps and fittings being especially good. Steel axles are also used in the construction of this trap. The firm have also on view an adjustableseated gig, hung on Dennett springs, painted dark green, and fine lined a lighter shade. The leather trimming is a feature in this ve-

hide, and the whole of the vehicles shown in the stand are a credit to the firm who manufactured them.

Mr Alex. Smaill, Tomahawk, is the only other exhibitor in carriages. He shows ono vehicle^ — a disconnected gear buggy — of good workmanship and design.

IMPLEMENTS, MACHINERY, ETC.

The following completes the notices of the exhibits under this head: —

One of the most conspicuous stands on the ground is that occupied by the Otago Farmers' Co-operative Association (Limited), as agents for the Southland Implement and Engineering Company of Invercargill, on which are displayed a varied assortment of farm implements, foremost among them being the celebrated " Colonial " combined grain and manure, turnip, rape and manure, and grass seed drill. This, it may be remembered, was awarded the first prize gold medal at Christchurch for the best drill in actual work at the last field trial held there. The firm also exhibit a 13-coulter turnip, rape, and manure drill, a " Colonial " steel-frame disc harrow, double and single and hillside ploughs, farm fanner 3, and other implements of the Southland Company's manufacture. The Southland Implement Company are general agents for New Zealand for the D. M. Osborne Company of New York, U.S.A., of whose manufacture they exhibit the Osborne "Columbia" reaper and binder working. The chief advantages claimed' for this machine are lightness of draught, low and easy elevation, combined with strength, and adaptability to either light or heavy crops. - It is fitted throughout with self-aligning roller bearings, double arm reel, steel platform, and special knife bar for grass. Noticeable among the other exhibits of " Columbia " make is a sulky spring-tooth cultivator, a self-dump hayrake, " Columbia " mower, horsehoe combination, with mould board attachment, and a set of peg-tooth lever harrows. A 2^-horse power oil (or gas) engine, used for driving the machinery on this stand, attracted a lot of attention. Messrs D. and W. Gibbs (Limited), of London, manufacturers of sheep dips, &c, who have presented a cup, value 30 guineas, to the Otago A. and P. Society, were also represented by the Otago Farmers' Co-operative Association, as chief agents for Otago, and displayed samples of three different kinds of the firm's dips. Mesßrß Gibbs claim to be the oldest firm of dip makers in existence, their works having been established go far back as 1712. A miscellaneous collection of farmers' requisites, including a range of seeds, samples of manures, "Orbit" oilj^&c., were also exhibited in this stand.

Messrs Howden and Moncrieff exhibit a collection of useful implements, of which the following are the particulars: — "The Iron Age" combined horsehoe and cultivator is a light machine. The standards are of very heavy solid steel of new style, and the frame is all steel. The machine is strong and yet of light draught, and easily adjusted to cultivate any drilled crop. The." Jewel" single wheel hoe is a handy garden tool for market gardeners and private gardens for cultivating, hoeing, and earthing up. The "Hunter" horaehoe and cultivator is adjustable both in pitch and angle of cut. These machines are made by Hunter and Sons, Ayrshire, and are the principal cultivators used for their large areas of early potato crops. The orchard spray pumps are a great benefit to everyone desiring to grow fruit successfully^ and the exhibitors are authorities on the washes to be used with them and their application, to combat the various pests. The pumps as shown have nozzles adjustable to apply tho spraying mixture either as a very fine jet or a mist. The "Pomona" spray pump, also shown, has had several first class awards, besides commendations from fruit experts. Tanned or barked netting for the protection of fruit trees from the small birds is exhibited, and baskets made from oaken Bpales, light, strong, and durable, and " Mdntauk," a blight specific, which we are informed is in good demand and very effective on the mussel seal© and woolly aphis, are also shown.

The Quibell Agency Company were catalogued to exhibit liquid and powder sheep dips, but as far as could be ascertained the exhibit* were not on the ground.

Mr Jas. Hair, of Oamaru, gave practical illustrations of the easy and -effective working of his patent combined wire strainer, which consists of a wire strainer, cutter, key, staple drawer, and standard holder all in one. In weight it is 61b, and from the numerous- testimonials held by the patentee appears to possess all the qualifications claimed for it. % Mrs Towler, of the Arcade, makes a neatly arranged "display of her many cures for ailments such as croup, bronchitis, influenza, chronic asthma, these being only a few of the complaints for, which a perfect cure is claimed by its use. "Mansavita" iB the name by which Mrs Towler'» cures are principally known, and the most obstinate cases are said to be successfully combated by both mixture and liniment. Mrs Towler has been unfortunate enough to have £6 worth of her remedies stolen from her tent some time during Thursday night, and though the illegal annexation might be regarded as a tribute to the value of her medicines, the loss is too great to make light of.
