EGMONT SHOW

FAT LAMB COMPETITION.

LONDON AWARDS ANNOUNCED,

The London awards of the fat lamb competition at the last Egmcnt A. and P. show are:— Pen No. 130, A. Newell (Hawera) 1 Pen No. 141, I. Lupton (Waverley) 2 Pen No. 145,- A. Dickie (Waverley) 3 This information was received by cable at Hawera from Sliced, Thomson and Co., Ltd., London, through their New Zealand agents, Cathie, Dempster and Co., Ltd., Wellington.

The local awards in the same con nection were:—

Pen No. 149, E. Parsons (Waverley) 1 Pen No. 137, C. E. McGuinncss (Elthani) 2. Pen No. 159, G. Hawkcn (Wavcrloy) 3. Pen No. 136, Harris Bros. (Okaiawa) 4. It will be noticed that not one of the first placings at the show in Ha-, wera has been placed in London. Farmers who saw Mr. A. E. Symes carry out the judging at Hawera will remember that he spent considerable time over Mr. A. Newell's pen, but, as the lambs stood, there appeared to bo one odd lamb in the three, and Mr. Symes finally left this pen out of his placings. On the hooks, this discrepancy seemed to have been lost in the killing, and it was agreed that Mr. Newell's pen would be hard to beat in London.
