SOUTHLAND A. AND P. ASSOCIATION.
JUBILEE SHOW. (Frou Our Special Reporter.) INVERCARGILL, December 12. The jubilee show of the Southland A. and P. Association, which was formed in 1867, was opened to-day in magnificent weather. The association is not attempting any special effort to mark the occasion, this no doubt being due to the fact that war matters have too strong a claim on public attention. The show, however, promises to be very successful. The entries are highly satisfactory, being only 30 short of the record received when the new ground was opened, and 10 more than last year. There are a number of really fine trade displays, plenty of side-shows, and many appeals to the sporting instinct in the way of hoop-la.
SHEEP. The Border Leicester and Romncy Marsh sheep were the only ones outsido fats in which big classes had to be dealt with. In all cases, however, with tho exception of Southdowns, breeders came forward with liberal entries, thus making the sheep leading feature of the show. Mr T. b. Little (Windsor) was the judge of Border Leicester*, and was highly pleased with them. Mr John M'Kerchar (Woodlands) was tho most successful exhibitor in the ram classes, and Mr D. M. Sutherland (Waimate) in the ewe classes. Mr M'Kerchar secured the ram championship with the first prize winner in the four-tooth and over class, in which Mr R. Anderson (Kauana) was second. Mr M'Kerchar also received an he certificate. Three other first prizes that fell to Mr M'Kerchar were those for two-tooth or under ram, pan- of twotooth rams, and pen of five flock rams under 18 months. Mr Sutherland came first in tho ram (shorn) one-shear class,- and Mr Anderson first for ram over 18 months and under 30 months, in both of which classes Mr M'Kerchar was second. Mr M'Kerchar received another second prize and a further he in the ram classes, Mr Sutherland two he certificates, Mr R. Miller (Mandevillc) a second prize, and Mr Wm. Kennedy (Otautau) two he certificates. The entries were large, and tho competition was good, besides the prize and certificate winners there being Messrs G. P. Johnston (Gore) and D Murray (Clvdevale). The ewe championship wen? to Mf Sutherland, who was first and second in all classes, with Mr M'Kerchar getting an ho certificate each time. , , ~ In the Romney Marsh classes the ram championship went to the trustees of the late Mr T.

The two-tooth shorn ewe class resulted: Mr Ladbrook 1, Mr Murray 2 and h" c.

Tho championship ram was found in an exhibit by Mr Thomas Evans (Long Bush) in the four-tooth and
over class, in which the same exhibitor was second, and Mr Wm. Kennedy hc. Tho one-shear ram class had only two entries, and resulted: Mr Geo. T. Pulley (Glenham) 1. Mr Thos. Evans 2.

Johnston (Gore) was the sole exhibitor in tho Lincoln section. Altogether, he had 14 entries. He was awarded tho championship, both for ewe and ram. in addition to which every sheep received a ticket, the total being nine first' and five second prizes. Mr Johnston made no entry in tho flock ram class. The judge—-Mr Donald Grant (Winchester)-characterised the sheep as being a very fair class. As stated in the case of tho Gore Show, Lincoins have been going out in tho south, no doubt owing to the" freezing industry getting more consideration. Lincoln rams have been coming back strongly in the North Island during the last few years to get more weight in crosshred wools. With tho exception of a single entry in one class, the English Leicester were monopolised by Mr M'Kerchar. With nine entries in the three classes, ho was awarded ram and ewe championships, throe first prizes, three second prizes, and two h c certificates. Mr Grant also judged these sheep, and classed them as a good lot, particularly the champion ewe. Nothing was shown in the merino classes except ewes, and these wero all entered by Mr Alex. Peat (Dipton). Each one received a ticket, giving tho exhibitor three first and three second prizes. In Corriedales, Messrs G. I. Pulley and John M'lntyre wore the only exhibitors. In the ram class, four-tooth and over, Mi MTntyre's two entries wero placed first and second, with Mr Pulley third.

PEOPLE'S DAY. INYERCARGILL, December 13. The Southland A. and P. Society has unquestionably one of the finest show grounds in the dominion. In addition to this the show is one of the highest quality. Despite the war interfering so greatly with countrywork, town amusement, and holidaymaking, the entries all round were very satisfactory, and the attendance of the public was good. Trains from the out-ly-ing districts brought in crowds of visitors this morning. The early part of the afternoon was taken up with the judging of the horses—always an interesting part of a show. It is evident this year, however, that, on account of war prices, the attention of show visitors turns in an unusually large measure to the sheep and cattle sections. The dairy produce, of which there was a very fair entry, was also judged to-day. One point on which the society seems to have erred is in the price charged for admission to the grandstand. It is a magnificent structure, that cost £BOOO, but there is no doubt that the people in the ground only expect to pay an extra shilling. A charge of 2s must come as a shock to most family parties. If it is exclusion the society'stands for, it gets it in a large measure. Splendid music was provided by the Invercargill Garrison and Southland Pipe Bands. The weather could not have been improved upon. HORSES. In the draught horse section the entry ill stallions was not nearly so large nor, perhaps, was the quality so high as was so distinctive of the Southland Show a number of years ago. Only four entires appeared in the class for over three-year-old. The judging bore out the recent verdict at Gore, Mr Alex. Bell's British Time securing first place, with the Pinebush and Portrose Syndicate's General Miller second. Messrs Youngson Bros. (Riversdale) came third. British Time also got the championship. There was no entry in the three-year-old class, and only one in the two-year-old class—a nice quality colt shown by Mr Walter Blakie (Ryal Bush), though it might have been a little bit bigger. The yearling class had three entries on the catalogue, but that of Messrs Thomson and Co. did not come forward, and Mr Kennedy (Drummond) only brought out one—a General Douglas colt, characterised by the judges—Messrs P. Davidson (Pleasant Point) and W. Macaulay (Maheno)-as a really good quality yearling, as good as any brought out this year. The draught mares all through formed splendid classes. The main competition lay
between Messrs James Patrick (Outran)) and Thomson and Co. (Dunedin). The principal prize winner vsas Mr Patrick's Twilight, which secured first place in every class in which she appeared, also first place for the best type of Clydesdale breed, and the mare championship. The class for brood mares over three years old, apparently in foal or with foal at foot, saw three really nice animals in the following order: -Messrs Thomson and Co. 1 and 2, Mr Patrick 3. Mr Walter Blakie was the only exhibitor of brood mare and two of her progeny, and got first prize. The yold mare class — another very nice one —saw Mr Patrick's Twylight first, and Mr R. Kennedy's (Drummond) Lady Kate second. The judge's remarked that Messrs Thomson and Co.'s exhibit and Mr Patrick's unplaced one—there were only four —were very even. The three year filly class was a particularly good one. There were eight entries. Messrs Thomson ' and Co. were placed first with a filly of great quality that has won a number of first prizes Mr Kennedy was placed second with Lady Bute, and the third horse was Mr Patrick's Pricillia, which was placed ahead of Messrs Thomson anci Co.'s filly on the occasion of the Gore show. In the two-year-old filly class Mr Patrick came first and second, and Mr Walter Blakie third. The remaining exhibitor was Mr Andrew Lindsay. Mr R. Kennedy was placed first in the one year olds, Mr Patrick second, and Messrs Thomson and Co. thud. The other awards were: FOur marcs or fillies, two years or upwards (three entries) — Mr Patrick 1, Messrs Thomson and Co. 2, Mr R. Kennedy 3. Three marcs or fillies, two years and upwards (three entries) —Mr Patrick 1, Messrs Thomson and Co. 2, Mr Kennedy 3. Pair of mares or fi'Jies, two years old or upwards (four entries) —Mr Patrick 1, Messrs Thomson and Cc. 2. Mr Kennedy 3. In the pair, two years and upwards, the first and second placed animals were so even that the judges called in the services of Mr J. D. WylLic (Sefton), who was associated with Mr Gow (Mosgiel) in judging the other draught section. The section just mentioned was responsible for a number of really splendid horses. The class for over three year olds resulted: Walter Blakie 1 and 2, New Zealand Express Company 3. The Express Company was first in the thrce-ycar-old class, Mr Walter Blakie second, and Mr W. A. Cox (Kauana) third. The class for pair of mares or geldings saw Messrs Thomson and Co. first, Messrs W. Gray and Son (Wa.matuku) second, and Mr 'Blakie third. The entries numbered 10. The class for pair of mares or geldings most suitable for artillery purposes drew three exhibits, in which Messrs Thomson and Co. came first, with the New Zealand Express Company second and third. The team of three horses had four entries. Mr Blakie was placed first, Messrs W. Gray and Son second, and the New Zealand Express Company third—a placing that was repeated in the four-horse team class. Among other awards were the following:—Spring van mare or gelding, up to one ton—New Zealand Express Company 1 and 3, Messrs Thomson and Co. 2. Spring van gelding or mare, up to half a ton—Messrs Thomson and Co. 1, Mr J. Doogue (Edendale) 2, Messrs J. M. Brown and Sons 3. New Zealand Express Company 1.

The thoroughbreds were judged by Mr J. A. Duff (Island Cliff), but there were not many. Two entries in the entire class, for any ngo, saw Messrs Simon Bros.' (Myrosa Bush) Applegarth 1 and Mr T. Ryder's (Invereargill) Charlemagne 2. There were no entries in two-year-old and one-year-old class. Applegarth was given the champion ribbon. Three entries in the brood mare in foal or with foal at foot resulted:—Mr J. T. Wilson (Otautau) 1, Messrs Simon Bros. 2, Mr T. Harper (Invercargill) 3. Mr W. S. Fleming was the onlv exhibitor in the mare or filly class, and got first prize. Mr J. J. Christie (Tuturau) showed the only two-year-old filly, which got the first ticket and gamed the mare championship.
There were very fine rings in the light horses' classes, also judged by Mr Duff. The list hacks, numbering 12, resulted:— Miss Rhodes's Major Webb 1, Mr 11. Moreland 2, Mr F. H. Bennett 3. An entry by Mr A. H. Sim was drawn out from the bunch but was not placed. The judge said something to the effect that one of the fetlocks was not very good. The class as a whole was a really good one. The second horse showed too much condition, and it was just a question whether the third horse should get the place, but it had a shortage of step. The entries for cob under 15 hands saw Mr H .E. Pannett first. Messrs Walker Bros. (Outram) second, and Ma- Chas. Wyeth (Woodlands) third. Mr P. H. Luscombe's Hokonui, in the class for ponv stallions, 14 hands and under, registered his twenty-sixth win of a first prize ticket. It is a line beast—some say the best ever seen in Southland. Mr Home's (Morton Mains) Earl Kitchener was placed second and Mr H. G. Ashley's (Elles road) Lord Patch third. The class for boy's bony, 14 hands and under, saw an excellent ring of 10. First and second place went to Mr G. Aitchison and third to Mr A. Home. Mr G. A. Fleming (Titiroa) and Mr Roland Kennedy (Fortification) were picked out from the bunch. The girl's pony (11 entries) resulted in the same placing as tho last-named class. The light-harness class, under 15 hands, saw Messrs Walker Bros. 1 and 2 and Mr Chas. Wyeth 3 out of 10 entries. There were 12 entries for the pony, 13 hands and under (ridden), five for pony, 12 hands and under (ridden), 10 for pony not over 14 hands or under 12 (driven), and two for pair of poincs 13 hands and under (driven).
