WINTER SHOW.

ATTRACTIVE AND VARIED DISPLAY.

SPEECH BY MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE

The Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Society opened its annual Winter Show under the most favourable weather conditions possible on Tuesday. The day was bright with sunshine, and only a light breeze stirred the air. This year the society has taken advantage of the exceptional opportunity ottering to move its show from the well-jl known. Brydone Hall premises to the motor pavilion- building at the Exhibition. For once at least the society finds itself with room to breathe. The motor pavilion covers an area of 2* acres. What that actually means may be best expressed by saying that it is about three times as great as all the space the society used to have- available upstairs and down at the Brydone Hall. Jhe result of all this additional space is very pleasing for all concerned. The society has not been faced with the unwelcome necessity for refusing any would-be exhibitor lor lack of space. Exhibitors have anipi* room to display their exhibits to the best possible advantage, and the public has room to move round comfortably «nd see everything without the gainful jostling and struggling so lam mar a feature of shows in the Brydone Hall. The most disappointing section of the show this year is that for sheep, in which the entries have fallen considerably below those of last year. Why this should be so is a little puzzling to the show authorities, especially as it is a recognised fact that all fat stock exhibited in the show find a very ready market afterwards, usually at fancy prices. The outstandingly successful feature of the show is the home industiies section, in which there are numerous entries of splendid quality from both town arid country. In view of the fact that the Exhibition in more ways than one has in effect competed against the show, the total of well over 1900 entries in all classes must be considered very satisfactory and gratifying. The holding of the show in the motor building nt Logun Park is in the naturo of an experiment from which the society will tioubtiess gain experience to guide it xn futuro developments. So far, it may bo said, the experiment is proving a most successful one. All Agricultural and Pastoral Bocietios are faced with tho difficulty ofproviding buildings which are large eumgb for their requirements, but which yet have to stand idle for all but a few days in the year. The results of the Winter Show this year may help to guide the society to ft solution of this problem.

The b:g pavilion was a scene of eager bustle in the morning, and it seemed hopeless to expect order to be evolved out of the apparent confusion by the time of the opening. As it was, all the exhibits were practically ready for inspection when the show was officially opened. Nevertheless, when the Hon. Mr Hawken was giving his address, one could not help reflecting "that Mr Ricketts, of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders’ Band, had he been present would have found abundant inspiration for another satirical fantasia on the lines of h : s “Dunedin, 1925.” Mingled with the sound of the Minister’s voice were the steady hammering of workmen, the bleating of sheep, and bellowing of bullocks, telephone bells and motor horns, clash of innumerable tea dishes, and above and through all the multitudinous tramp of feet cn the hoarded floor. As might be expected, the influence of the Exhibition is to be seen and felt everywhere about the Show this year. Many of the old familiar signs and notices remain in the building, and a number of excellent motor displays are much as they were when the mammoth motor exhibition was there in its prime. The numerous trade displays show that local manufacturers have learned from the Exhibition valuable lessons in the art of setting out an attractive exhibit of their wares. Many of the displays are practically the same as they were during those months. Fancy stalls, candy stalls, and soft drink booths also carry with them a distinctly Exhibition flavour, and if anything were wanting to revive vivid memories of the /rent carnival it is provided'by half a dozen; “roll downs,” whose promoters carry on a literally' roaring business in one corner of tho* building. Memories of certain magisterial judgments on the legality of ihese devices are so fresh that their reappearance there is something of a mystery. The whole space of the great building is comfortably filled with exhibits of motors? of furniture, hardware and other manufactures, manures, fruit, hams and baton, wool, baking, needlework, and other home industries, cheese, turnips, and inangels, and other farm produce. The live stock is represented by a group of pons of sheep and a row of weighty bullocks. . The team of beautiful black ponies now so familiar about Dunedin are or show and are attracting no end ( admiration And attention, especially from the younger folk. An exhibit of much value that may possibly escape the attention of some, as it does not occupy much

space, is that staged by the Health Department to illustrate the cause and dangers and methods of combating hydatids. A considerable area has been walled off for tea rooms and for offices. To many constant Exhibition visitors it will be a matter of great interest to know how the grounds are looking a month after closing day. The grounds have, of course, Jost much of tht'ir trim appearance, but they are still in surprisingly good order. Most of tlie flower beds have been but little disturbed, and in some there is quite a show of colour even yet. The Agricultural Department’s demonstration plots which have been left specially for show visitors should prove a mine of valuable informa - Don to those willing to spend a little time there. liie following is a comparison of I lie entries received in the principal sections for the last three years: —

OFFICIAL OPENING. ADDRESS BY HON. U. J. HAWKEN. At 2.30 in the afternoon the show was formally opened by the Hon. O. J. Hawken, Minister of Agriculture. The gathering took place on a space reserved and seated for the purpose adjoining what vas once the court of education. Mr G. Black, president of the society, presided and was supported by the Hon. Mr Hawken, the Mayor (Mr H. L. Tapley, M.P.), the Hon C. E. Statham, the Hon. G. M. Thomson, M.L.C., Messrs T. K. Sidey, M.P., J. M. Dickson, M.P., Sir John Roberts, Sir George Fenwick and a number of prominent members of the society. Mr Black expressed great pleasure on behalf of the society in welcoming the Minister. They were sorry they were unable to have the Prime Minister with them. He had sent the following telegram: "Regret exceedingly that owing to engagements in the North Island to which I am committed it will not be possible for me to be present at the opening of the Otago A. and P. Society’s Show tomorrow', but, as you will already have been advised, arrangements have been made for the Hon. Mr Hawken to represent the Government. Best wishes for a successful fixture.—J. G. Coates.” A telegram of apology had also been received from the Hon. A. D. M'Leod. Mr Black said he wished to take that opportunity of expressing the society's sincere thanks and gratitude to the directors of the Ex hibition for granting them the use of that building for their winter show. He did

not think there was any doubt whatever that it was a very suitable building in deed for a winter show—(applause)particularly in the circumstances of this year. We had had a wonderful Exhibition that had taken away a great deal of the interest that would ordinarily have centred in the show’. They had felt that they could hardly have expected manufacturers and motor cai agents to patronise them as largely in the Brydone Hall as they had done in the past. A number of them had very valuable stan’s at the Exhibition for which the Brydone Hall would have been quite inadequate. They felt that in the Brydone Hall they would have been limited to their stock and ordinary exhibits and it might have fallen just a little bit flat. In taking the step they had done and moving into that magnificent building with that immense variety of exhibits they would realise that the committee had done a wise thing. There was no question about the suitability of these buildings. They couHl only hope that though they had been sold some body—perhaps the City Council—would see its way to erect similar buildings that would be of use for all such functions. Their thanks were also due to the Government for keeping up the experimental plots which were of intense interest to the farming community. He did not know that they were viewed .s closely as they might have been during the Exhibition, but members of the farm ing community would be able to view them this week without distraction. Thanks were also due to the Government instructors who had kindly consented to give lectures during the show, a.-J he hoped that these would be largely attended. — (Applause). The Hon. 0. J. Hawken, in declaring the show open, congratulated the society on the very excellent display being made. Of all the shows he had seen he thought that this one was the best laid out. Undoubtedly they had a splendid building, but at the same time those responsible for the arrangement must have taken a very great interest in the work to produce such results He took a very great interest in winter shows and in summer shows. They helped the department of which he was \ne head. Anyone who went to a show such as that and saw' the quality and variety of the exhibits must come away with a desire to grow better crops and produce better goods than ever before. He knew how difficult it was to run such a show successfully. but he was certain they did an immense amount of good. They roused a spirit of emulation and of competition which was invaluable. The great variety of exhibits prevented him from making special mention, but he would like to say that he had noticed that the home industries section was specially good. Ho could quite understand why the Dunedin people looked so fine! With such cooking anybody ought to do well ! He congratulated the cheese makers on the most excellent result of the competition that extended throughout the vear. As a Taranaki man he knew something about cheese, and he considered the average grading was indeed a credit to the winner. His in formation from Home was that our cheese was improving in quality and that this year there had been a distinct advance in that direction. We in New Zealand had to see that we produced the very best quality. Competition was "oing to be keener in the future, but with our climate and country and education we ought io produce the best it was possible to get. There was always room at the top. Good quality would always make good prices, and of course that was what we wanted in New Zealand. The farming industry had not been quite as successful this year as it was last, mainly because the prices were somewhat less. It behoved all of them to be prudent, because they could not expect that the high prices prevailing for the last ..few years would continue. They could not ha=e their calculations on such prices. With increased production and the quality well maintained the farming community would still be able to carry on most successfully. In Central Otago they had a project that would be of immense benefit to Otago. He was certain that if it were well managed great wealth would come from Otago Central in the not very distant future. He was pleased Mr Black had mentioned the officers of the Agricultural Department. He was very proud of his staff, and believed they were doing good work, particularly in such districts' as Central Otago. Mere in this show they had not only a great exhibition of farm produce but they had also an exhibition of manufactures which were of very great interest and of very great value. There was a time coming when the manufacturers in New Zealand would have to look to it because they would have to meet the competition of the older countries with their cheap labour. They needed experts with knowledge that would enable them to advis# the manufacturer and the farmer as to the costing of his goods. If the manufacturer here employing £4 a week men -was to compete with the manufacturers at Home employing £2 a week men he would have to go into figures and understand his costing as he had never done before. He believed that New Zealand people would rise to the occasion. He was not one of those who favoured low wages, but he did think that experts would have to be engaged and people would have to be trained to go into this question and seo that our costing was such that we could compete. lie kneAV the working men themselves, and if they were told it was necessary to put on tho pace to keep those manufactures going they would meet tho position. The New Zealander was game to the backbone. Tho manufacturers in New Zealand would go ahead and bo a credit and a great help to tho country. We needed them because just now our imports were greater than the exports. Perhaps there was a bit, of extravagance in tho matter, and people would have to go slow’, particularly with motor-ears. He believed that with energy and industry manufactures could bo increased so much in New Zealand that it would not be necessary to import as much as wo had been doing. Again ho thanked them for the opportunity of being present. It seemed almost a pity that they could not retain that beautiful building for such purposes, but he supposed it had to be demolished. lie wished them success at thi3 show and in the future.—(Applauso.) Sir John Roberts, a life governor of the society, proposed n cordial vote of thanks to the Minister for opening the show, and this was carried by acclamation. The Mayor, Mr H. L. Tapley, called upon to make a speech, snid they felt very proud

indeed of the Otago A. and P. Society, and it deserved every credit indeed from the citizens for the way in which it or« ganised these shows. Their notable visn tors were always impressed by tho pro-* ducts of the province as displayed on these occasions. He endorsed the thanks expressed by Sir John Roberts to the Min-* ister of Agriculture for being present per' sonally to open the show. They appreciated the fact that there were many calls upon his time from many districts. On his call the audience rose and cheered the Minister, The Minister said it was always a pleads sure to be present on such an occasion. He hoped to return and remain longer another time, but this time they would have to hurry back because, as they knew, the session, would be starting shortly. BUSY EVENING SESSION. Once more the lights of Logan Park! Not so extensive, perhaps, and without the former magnificence of glowing colour cen-i tred by the great Dome. Yet tlie lights shone out once more, and through the still, frosty air last evening. Dunedin again looked down on a bustling little city of fairy colouring under the shadow of the hills. Excellent indoor programmes of musio were played by the Kaikorai Band and Dunedin Pipe Band, and in the Amusements Park entertainment-seekers were kept in good humour by the St. Kilda Band. Special interest was taken in the cattle and sheep sections during the evening, and the crowds were also great in the fruit section. The north-west corner of the buildings was devoted to amusements, and there the “roll-downs,” with their perspiring owners, held sway. Stalls of all kinds, many of which had been kept over from the Exhibition period, attracted steady patronage and registered a successful evening. A feature of the show is the large display section taken up by motor car dealers. Many new models have been added since the Exhibition closed, and interested hundreds examined with keen interest the latest addition to the auto-, mobile markets of the world. The takings for the day ami evening showed a considerable decrease when compared with the first day and evening last year. The sum of £72 in cash was taken at the gates yesterday and last night, while on the first day in 1925 the total reached £l5O. FAT CATTLE. The Fat Cattle Section provided one of the most successful and best displays % in the show, and the pens were the objective of hundreds of interested visitors. The entries were good, and according to the judge (Mr T. Seaton, of Timaru) the quality "of the stock was excellent and a credit to Otago. The two-year-olds and threeyear olds were in particularly good condition, and as a whole the showing had been a very satisfactory one. Tlie majority were of the Shorthorn breed, well finished and in good condition. In the first class for bullocks of any age Mr J. King (Invercargill) was an easy winner, and it is to he noted that the’ beast exhibited by him turned the scale at 31101 b at the recent Winter Show in Invercargill, where a guessing competition was organised. The most successful competitor in the section was Mr R- Lochhead, of Balelutha, who secured three first, one second, and two third prizes. Mr R. T. Kirk, of Mosgiel, was awarded one first, three second, and one third prizes, while Mr A. J. Bell, of Stirling, gained one first and a second, SIIEEP SECTIONS. Disappointment at the paucity of the entries in the sheep section was expressed by the judge (Mr T. Seaton, of Timaru) after his unusually brief task was concluded yesterday morning. He stated that, in his opinion, the number of entries (29) was poor, although he was pleased to report that the quality as a whole was good, particularly in the lamb sections. Three crossbred longwool lambs exhibited by Mr ,T. Gordon, of Warepa, had gained first piace in that section, and were of particularly good quality. All the lambs were in good condition, extra fat, and wellwoolled. There were, unfortunately, only a few pens of fat sheep, but tho quality was high in practically every case. There remains the freezing lamb section, which produced six entries which will be exhibited until the close of the show’, when the lambs will be killed and judged. The most successful entrant in the sections already dealt with was perhaps Mr -T. Gordon, of Warepa, who secured four ~rst prizes, one second, and one third. The Southland Frozen Meat and Produce Export Co. was a prominent and successful competitor, but, in the majority of sections in which tho company w r as successful it was the solo competitor. Mr J. M. Beattie, of Nga? puna, was also a keen competitor. THE WOOL SECTION. The wool section was one of the particularly attractive features of the shovP from the point of view of judges and public alike. All exhibits were, displayed with excellent effect, and the most wqS made of a good wool showing. The judges. Messrs E. J. Denny and F. S. Laycoclc, were pleased with the sections, and the award points were high. As a whole, the section, though not large, produced good quality fleeces, the high standard of fibre and lustre proving care in the selection of breeding studs. An outstanding exhibit was that offered by Mr W. Ayson (Waikaka) in the Corriedale section. He was the sole exhibitor in that section, but gained maximum points with 171 b 3oz wool, and in the section devoted to flocks of 2000 sheep and under gained maximum points v ith fifi/58's, again being the only competitor with two flocks. Mr James M'Artliur, of Clyde, was another successful competitor in the flocks of over 2000 sheep section. He was the principal exhibitor in six sections, out of which ho gained six first prizes, two second prizes, and one third prize. In the sections in which he competed only one other prize —a third—was awarded. POTATOES. Potatoes this year were a good classy and very true to sample. Although enti es were small, tlie quality was excellent, and was quite up to the standard displayed in previous years. The sample of seed potatoes displayed by Mrs Blight* of Ton, was characterised as one of the finest samples of seed potatoes which bag been shown for some years. ROOTS. Particularly noticeable was the quality* shown by the roots grown in the Ternuka district. The entries in this class, also, were small compared with other years,’

but some of the exhibits were excellent in quality, and were quite up to standard. SEEDS AND GRAINS. There was a disti paucity of entries in these most important classes, which is to be deplored, as the quality was good and the competition keen. The Dun oats section was one of the best seen for years, and the judge had dii culty in separating the winners from the second .and third prize-winners. The Italian ryegrass exhibit was also a remarkably fine ,one —in fact, the judge had no hesitation in saying that the seeds were some of the finest he had ever seen exhibited ;Unfortunately, as was the case with other seeds and grains, the entries were anything but heavy. FRUIT. Commenting ou the fruit exhibits, the Judge said that he was particularly pleased with the quality of the Luit which had come forward. Here, again, entries were not nearly so numerous as last year, but the general appearance and 'quality of .he apples and pears ha imP r ® v ®d astly. Also, there was a noticeable freedom from faults this year. Lord •Wolseley were ap_ outstanding class, and some hue apples were shown in this section In the export class the fruit opened well, and the only fault at all noticeable was that of low packing. The condition in which the fruit was shown, however, the Judge statec, augured well for a good market when the shipments from which they were tab n were landed in England, lhe pears were disappointing, and with the exception of the first and second prize-takers none of the exhibits was up to standard. Two new features which have been introduced into the schedule are t||e tab!e of fruit and the basket of limt. Although more or less spectacular h.s exhibit lends a good deal of charm to the general display, and was very favourably commented onr BRICAD and scones. lhe bread and scones section is one of the outstanding- exhibits in the show, the number of entries being very large and competition very keen. There were over a) entries in several classes, the largest S! m the home-made scones class, with 35 entries. The judges (Mrs Andrew Carruthers, ot Ngapuna, and Miss J. M'Pherson, of Dunedin) commented very highly on the seetion as a whole, stating that it wa< the best exhibit they had judged. The oven scones in the amateur classes wore part.cularly good and it was very hard to decide the prize-winners in the shortbread classes as the exhibit was a very even one The only unsatisfactorv class was the #at oak cake one, some of the cakes being nat, while others were curved. HONEY, EGGS, AND PRESERVES. I lie exhibit in the honey and eggs class was very poor numerically, but exceedingly high in quality, the specimens of honey exhibited being particularly fine ones- lhe preserves section was an outtively? on ° k° th numeric all.V and qualitallAMS AND BACON. Ibis section, which is a very comprehensive one is stated by Mr J. R. Prentice (Mosgiel), who judged the exhibits, to be ot very good quality, but not up to the standard of the previous year. The exhibitors are to be commended for the quality of their exhibits which would compare favourably with that of any other show. lhe hams comprise a very small exhibit, but the quality is particularly high, while the flitches and rolls of bacon are of good quality. SCHOOL COMPETITION'S. Competition in this section, as in previous years was very keen, and the exhibits showed an improvement over the exhibits of the previous year. The individual ex. hibits were of very high quality, and, being beautifully staged, made an imposing FARMERS' BUTTER. The entry in the farmers’ butter section wa3 very large and the quality excellent. Quality was particularly evident in Class 48, a collection of butter, lib fresh, lib powdered, lib salt, it being stated that the butter shown in this ctiss was of outstanding merit. Miss .M. Macaulay, of Flag fewamp, was a prize-winner in every class she competed in—an outstanding performance. NEEDLEWORK. The quantity of entries this year is well up to previous records, and the standard of the work is quite good. The judges stressed the fact that in the crochet section several exhibitors lost points on really excellent work by the coarseness of the mounting. The presence of machinestitching and thick hems, on what was otherwise delicate work, could not but detract from its beauty. There is, also, a pressing need for the addition of another class in this section. In the present show nightdresses, etc., compete with traycloths and coseys, which are in an entirely different class. CAKES, BISCUITS, AND SWEETS. In this section the judges considered the competition very good. Some classes were excellent, especially the chocolate cakes. Other classes, such as sponge rolls, pastry, and seed cakes, could have been better, hut the fruit cakes received warm praise from the judges. SOLDIERS’ CLASSES. The work in the soldiers’ classes is quite Up to the standard of previous years. The entries showed a decided improvement on those last year. BUTTER AND CHEESE. (Judges: Messrs S. Clayton, D. Cunningham, A. Milne, E. Beatson, E. Walker, T. Reange, and F. H. 'Jaylor (Government grader}. No factory was allowed to take more than one prize in one class. FACTORY BUTTER. The judges said the rjualitv of the placed butters was good, the flavours being >ound, fresh, and nutty. In several entries the flavour was disappointing, indicating that some deterioration had taken place during storage. The make of all butter was uniform and quite up to the usual show standard.

The following are the awards:— One Box i*cwt) Factory Butter.

FACTORY CHEESE. The exhibit of cheese submitted, said the judges, was in point of quality quite equal to previous years. The flavours of the placed entries were uniformly good and the texture was in nearly every case of decided meatiness, there being an’ entire absence of mealy bodied cheese. Some of the ex hibits showed a tendency towards looseness and openness which is an undesirable de feet. The finish on the whole was poor, only a very few scoring the maximum points, and managers would be well advised to give this closer attention. The following are the awards: Two large full cream New Zealand Cheddar-shaped cheese (801 b each); suitable for export; coloured.

One case containing two cheese from factories without pasteurising plant made from non-pasteurising plant, made from non-pasteurised milk.

An important factor contributing towards the greatly-increased attendance on Wednesday was the perfect weather that favoured the thirty-fourth effort of the Otago A. and P. Society. In the minds of all who were present there was little doubt as to the great advantages of the building selected by the society for the 1920 Winter Show, and Wednesday proved the value of a welllig' -d ground floor display, with ample room for all sections of the exhibits to be shown to the very best advantage. The wide corridors flanking every department allowed yesterday’s big crowds to examine anything and everything at their leisure, while the scenes inside the building during the afternoon were reminiscent of any one pavilion during the Exhibition's busiest and most prosperous time. AN ATTRACTIVE DISPLAY. A generous display of bunting above the towering walls of the motor pavilion, and the clicking of the turnstiles at the r....in gates—Exhibition sights and sounds at Logan Park—that was the greeting given to visitors, and although the Winter Show was dwarfed in the discarded slHl of its giant forerunner, it presented an exceedingly attractive indoor display worthy of the large public attendance. In the north-east corner of the pavilion the “roll-down” games continued to attract all whose interest in the chocolate-hunting devices has not waned. The stalls also enjoyed busy-sessions, and the Amusements Park in the open air drew crowds large enough to keep every device working steadily throughout the afternoon and evening. An efficient little orchestra on the concert platform during the afternoon provided light musical selections which appealed greatly to the enthusiastic audience that gathered. Jn the morning the cheese grading competition for the Taieri and Peninsula Milk Supply Co.’s challenge cup was carried out. attracting good competition and considerable public interest. The winner was Mr G. D. Johnston (Owaka Dairy Factory). SUCCESSFUL PONY SALE. In the early afternoon several hundred visitors assembled in front of the pavilion where Messrs Thomsons’ black ponies w’ere s* ’d by auction, .d without reserve. Bidding was keen, and the prices were satisfactory, £275 being the total for 13 ponies. The prices ranged between £ls and £3l. The majority of the buyers were country visitors, who were well satisfied with i e fine appearance of the little animals. RETURNED SOLDIERS’ STALL. One of the larger and particularly interesting displays in the show is that made by the disabled returned soldiers. The exhibit of work occupies a long stand fronting the restaurant, and contains what is in the opinion of those in charge one of the best collections of work that the men have yet exhibited. There is a large section devoted to leather-work of all kinds that should make an instantaneous appeal to the feminine visitors, while next to the leather bags and other samples are to be found the now familiar basket-work samples of the men in new and novel designs. Pewter work in ornamental designs such as picture frames and clock faces is included, and the display is completed by several beautiful designs in coloured suede poker-work. The returned men have also a stall in the pavilion that was well patronised yesterday afternoon and evening. The gate takings for the day amounted to £175 10s. WOOL-CLASSING COMPETITIONS. The annual competitions under the control of the A. and P. Society commenced yesterday. The entries were somewhat smaller than last year, but the majority of those competing placed the fleeces with a fair degree of precision. Mr James M’Gregor, of Mosgiel. acted as judge. The competitions resulted as follows: — , r Open Competition. —A. M’lvinnon (Kelso) and A. Dew'ar (Dunedin) equal 1. P. H. Maclean (Gore), J. Greene (Dunedin), and A. J. Souter (Mosgiel) were highly commended. E'irst-year Competition.—M. O. Meiklejolin (North Taieri) 1, T. Blackley (Bumside) 2. R. Bennell (Dunedin), G. 1). M’Donald (Clinton), and C. M.

Reid 80, IL Bennell 80, G. 1). M’Donald 80. THIRD DAY. From the moment the main gates opened Friday’s success was assured for the holiday sessions of the Winter Show'. The weather was perfect—warm sunshine in the morning and afternoon, followed by a clear frosty evening,—and hundreds entered the Motor Pavilion at Logan Park. The increased facilities for transport from the city to the show undoubtedly increased the attendance, and in tho»<*arly

afternoon and evening buses and trams arrived for the Exchange terminus every few minutes. As during the days of the Exhibition, private enterprise vied with the facilities offered by the corporation, with the result that there was ample acccommodation for all. The fanciers’ show in the building that recently housed the Canadian Exhibition display was an added attraction, but it was the Winter Show itself that attracted the great majority of visitors, and up till the time the buildings closed at 10 p.m. every corridor was crammed with sightseers. In the afternoon the Forbury School Drum and Fife Band supplied an enjoyable musical programme, under the baton of Mr Hamilton Kagar, while the evening session was brightened by band concerts similar to those given on the previous days. A bright litle orchestra also played in the afternoon, attracting a large audience. LARGE EVENING CROWDS. In the evening, after the lights of Logan Park lit the south-western corner and outlined the pagodas of the main gates, the crowds were even greater than was the ease during the afternoon, and the accommodation of the big pavilion was taxed to the utmost. Brisk business was done by the stalls and the “ roll downs,” arid ever section held an interested throng of visitors. The gate takings for the day reached all expectations, and amounted to £538, compared with £574 for the corresponding day last year. SHOW STOCK SALE. From the point of view of general interest one of the most successful features of the show was the sale of stock by auction, which was commenced at 8.30 o’clock on Fridav morning. The attendance was excellent, and a pleasing feature of the sale was that the butchers, in whose interests the sale was held so early in the holiday morning, arrived in force. Bidding was brisk, and all auctioneers were satisfied with the prices that ruled. In the fat cattle section good prices were realised for the young stock although the heavier cattle did not attract the same keen interest. The guessing competition, bullock under three years, the property of Mr R. T. Kirk, Mosgiel, realised £3l ss, Messrs Barton and Trengrove being the purchasers. The sole steer under one year was a particularly good beaßt, also the property of Mr Kirk, and was sold for £lO ss, while the winning steer in the under two years section was bought from Mr J. C. Renton, K M-sgiel, by Mr James Sinton for £2O. Prices for the heifers ranged from £l3 5s to £ls ss. In the sheep section the competition amongst buyers was not so great, but as a whole fair market prices were realised, prices ranging from 2°. to 555, gained by Mr J. Gordon, of Warepa, for crossbred Down wethers. The lamb section, devoted to lambs gaining most points for carcase, skin, and fat, which will be judged at the dose of the exhibition, produced good competition, the prices ranging from 28s to 31s 6d.

During the morning, the prinpical list of special show awards was made available, and is as follows: Waitaki Dairy Challenge Cup, for the exhibitor scoring the highest number of points for any two cheese in any class. — Waikouaiti Diary (Waikouaiti).

Bell (Stirling). “Anonymous,” special prize for beat steer under one or two years old—Mrs J. U. Renton (Mosgiel). A SPECTAL DISPLAY. One familiar echo of the Exhibition is to bo seen in tho show. It is tho interesting and forceful educational display made by tho Department of Health emphasising the care that must be taken by all who handle animals, particularly dogs, to avoid contracting tho dangerous hydatid cysts. The main exhibit comprises magnified samples of the parasite arranged on a display stand and topped with the life-like stuffed carcase of the innocent cause of the oonfraction of tho disease—a collie dog.

There are also gruesome examples of the ravages of hydatids in the human body, which together with printed advice on the care that must be taken, form a powerful lesson. THE MOTOR SECTION. Though considerably diminished in sixo when compared to the Exhibition showing, the motor section of the show is an important one, and offers quite the largest display in the Winter Show. The majority of the makers exhibiting in the Exhibition occupy reorganised stands, and many models of a later type than those displayed prior to May -1 are now to be seen. WOOL-CLASSING COMPETITIONS. The wool-classing competitions were continued on Thursday, with the following results:— . Open Class—A. J. Souter (Mosgiel) 1, A. MKinnon (Kelso) and A. Dewar (Dunedin) equal 2, P. H.

The fleeces provided for the competition proved difficult to class, but the prize-takers did particularly good work, and Mr J. M'Gregor, who acted as judge, expressed his appreciation of the work done by the competitors. FOURTH DAY. Good weather, followed by an excellent attendance of the public, was responsible for another successful day at the \\ inter Show on Friday, hundreds of visitors streaming steadily towards Logan Park in the morning, afternoon, and evening. The sessions were marked by the fullysustained interest of the public, and every department was crowded. The motor, stock, produce, and other sections attracted the majority of those present, but there was always a good audience following the orchestral programme, while the “roll-downs” and stalls enjoyed prosperous hours. In the evening the band concerts brightened the sessions, and although it was shopping night in the city a very satisfactory number was present in the big motor pavilion. The lights of the Amusements Park drew many to the open air, while the Fanciers’ Show in the discarded Canadian Court was an added attraction. SCHOOL COMPETITIONS.
