SECOND EDITION. A. AND P. SHOW.

ADDITIONAL AWARDS. The A. and l’v Show was continued on the Park Racecourse tliis afternoon. The wenllu'r conditions showed a marked improvement as (he day advanced and tin l appearance of the sun brightened up the gathering from time to time. The attendance steadily increased as the day wore on, there being a large and constant procession of cars to the showgrounds, where special arrangements went made for parking the vehicles in rows to Hermit of easy access. The members' paddock and other parts of the grounds were packed with cars, many visitors taking the opportunity to “picnic’* in their cars at luncheon time. Special train services were run to day, and the trains carried a fair number of passengers, both from town and country stations.

The police were well represented on the grounds, but apart from assisting in the regulation of traffic their services were not specially required.

The presence of the Gisborne City Band, which placed appropriate selections from the lawn throughout the day, added to the enjoyment of holi-day-makers.

The president, Mr. R. W. Coop, expressed appreciation of the hearty cooperation of flic numerous officials and the enthusiasm with which they wore pushing their jobs through. The show arrangements yesterday had worked without a hitch mid despite the adverse weather he was glad to note that the gate money was up to last year's figure. The president added that he was pleased to see several new exhibitors in the show this year, and he desired to compliment the winners upon the honors won. Air. Coop added that the fat lamb section- had come in for special commendation, and he was informed by the judge that it, had clean knocked out. the Hawke’s Bay show for the merit of this display. He had observed the criticism respecting (lie poor fleece cxhibitiou and trusted that the remarks would lead to improved results next year. An innovation was introduced in connection with the polo class which proved popular with both the competitors and the public. A gallop was arranged to display speed and style and formal quite a feature of the competitions. It is anticipated that this will lend to greater competition amongst polo enthusiasts next show.

In connection with the Hereford judging. Mr. Gordon Williams, of Hawke’s Bay, who had been selected as judge, was unable to attend owing to illness at home, and Mr. H. B. Williams kindly consented to act, assisted by Air Michaei Walsh.

The produce display, located in the basement of the outside grandstand, was insnectod by numerous visitors today. The arrangement of the past two seasons under which the produce is judged on the first, day marks a, distinct improvement, the display being consequently open to inspection all day on People's Day. The home industries were well represented, and the display of cakes, bread and bottled fruit showed an. increase in numbers and improvement in quality. The falling off in maize, potatoes, vegetables, honey and oranges was to ho regretted. HORSES. SADDLE AND HARNESS. Class’33 —Lady’s hack (24 entries): F. Gndduni, oh marc Lucy, 1; L. G.

DOGS. Special prizes for best dogs in tiie Show, donated by the Poverty Bay Kennel Club and Mr. J. MeK.ee: G. A. Dunlop’s English setter Joelc, Ist; A. Cronin’s fox terrior, 2nd. Special prize for best bitch, donated by Poverty Bay Kennel Club: L. R. Martin’s Greyhound, Lady Mable, 1; O, A. Dunlop’s English setter pup, Bracburn Bridget 2. Special prize to English setter pup by Burwood. Rock, donated by F. Rodfoarri: E. C. Jmining's Norfolk Rock. Regarding the protest lodged in Class 298, English setter pup, the judge intimated that the owner .of the first prize pup will require to produce to the A. and P. Committee proof of age. The English rules provide that a puppy is under the age of 12 months. In the evant of the first prize pup being disqualified the. prize will go to the second pup. There was a splendid collection of dogs, this being one section of the Show that disclosed a marked increase. The additional interest is doubtless the result of the advent of the newly-forrnud Poverty Bay Kennel Club, which cooperated with the Association to-day for the first occasion. The dogs were conveniently staged and were .the centre of much attraction through the day. The judging was efficiently carried out by r.lr. W. A. Smith, of Opotiki, for 14 years secretary of tTie Hawke’s Bay Kennel Club. Discussing the display, Mr. Smith said this was the fourth occasion lie had judged at Gisborne and he was very pleased and gratified to see the increased entries and improvement in the dogs gcirnnally. Unfortunate y the rough and boisterous weather hindered a few from showing at their best, but under the conditions the display was a most creditable effort. The outstanding features were the quality of the terriers, the English setters, Airedales and greyhounds. Thu winning dogs in those breeds should easily hold their own in any competition in New Zealand and perhaps the winning setter dog and greyhound hitch were as gooa as any in New Zealand to-day. I Mr." Smith remarked that this was a | big thing to say. but he had judged at the Auckland Show last year where | there were 80 dogs, and there was nothing like the winning Gisborne dog at Auckland. On the grounds to-day was some promising stuff, In the wiie.hnir

Fox terriers there was a little bit. of bVor-trirnming with some dogs. The toy dogs were veiv creditable indeed. The winning "Rom." was a nico specimen and could go a long way before being beaten. The.- only entry in the bulldogs was a very fine type, .nice size, good front and good head. “.Just one word to budding exhibitors,’’ added Mr. Bmilh. "1 would like to see the dogs put down under better conditions and more attention to grooming before the show.” The judge expressed Ids thanks to the stewards for the way the dogs were staged, and for the arrangements made. He was pleased to sc.i the way exhibitors bad taken their defeats and hoped they would not be discouraged, but would come along next year with better and bigger teams.

COMPETITIONS. Class ;i,S(i—Girl rider over 10 and under 13 years of age (13 entries): Ursula Brosnahan, 1; Betty Morice, 2; Pamela. Burke, 2; .loan MacDonald, b.c.

TRADE DISPLAYS. NOLAN A. T. REDSTONE. Tn these days of mass production if is a well recognised fact that the firm that specialises is the firm that produces the highest grade article. The manufacturers of Ihe Hudson products have a world-wide reputation for quality in motor-car manufacture: and in this Dominion 99 per cent, of the service car drivers can testify to the endurance ami speed qualifications of the Hudson Super Six. Mr. Nolan A. T. Redstone has a striking exhibit of Hudson products on the grounds and a noticeable feature of the display is the fact that he is advertised as the solo district agent, of only the one company’s ears. There is little need io dilate on the merits of the Hudson Super Six. Every service company has several in its fleet, and with many of the companies the Hudson is tho only car utilised. This is not the only district where their worth is recognised. To those who have travelled in the Bay of Plenty district one of the main joys of travelling has been the trip in the powerful Hudson cars that are practically universal there for service work. Undoubtedly this car at £475 f.o.b. Wellington, is one of the cheapest propositions on the market.

The motorist buying a Hudson buys with his car an insurance against high renewals or service charges. He acquires a car whose reputation and prestige are such that its ownership is a matter of pride. A demonstration will prove its qualities beyond the possibility of doubt.

A. pocket, edition of the Hudson is Ihe Essex. Built by the same company, economical to run, easy to manipulate, built on line artistic lines, w T ith balloon tyres, this car is well worthy of tho firm that turns it out. The New Essex is described by one of the leading trade authorities as “a type of vehicle long needed in this country. It is surprisingly economical to operate, and does not cost much to buy. These qualities, combined in a six-cylinder car selling for £333 f.o.b. Wellington,, show what can be done by an organisation that can work just a little ahead of the market and see the public demand before it actually arrives. It was realised that to improve on the previous four-cylinder Essex —a car with thousands of the firmest admirers throughout Hie world —it would be necessary to work to high standards of performance and endurance, and to add to them the distinctive advantages of a Hudson-built six-cylinder car. To attain these results a free use has been made of the principles and methods which have been responsible for building the manufacturers' reputation. The Essex Coach is a marked advancement over anything of the sort which the market has known. Mr. Nolan A. T. Redstone has also on exhibition the famous Victor trucks, which being lilted with three universal joints are specially adapted to .withstand tho jars and jolts of the roads. The trucks were fully tried out in the metalling of the Rangiriri between Hamilton and Auckland.

LEREW MOTORS. Probably the busiest stand at the fehow was that of Lerew Motors Ltd., the chief attraction being the “Cinq” model Peugeot. The one on show is the first of this model to come to Gisborne, but judging from the many requests for demonstration runs received by tho agents it is likely to have many companions in the near future. The Peugeot “Cinq” at £295 stands in a class of its own and certainly sets a new standard for light ears. One feature that appeals is that with its folding glass windows and collapsible hood it. can be used as either a closed or open car. It rides and drives like a big car and will actually do not less than (it) miles to the gallon of petrol, it is stoutly built, has aji exceptionally high clearance and a reserve of power that is truly amazing. It is a compact, little ear, but has ample seating accommodation for four passengers, and together with its excellent body work and many other sterling features is claimed to be a most desirable little ear.

Lerew Motors’ oilier exhibit, the Wolseley, also came in for its fair share of the public interest and admiration. There is little need to go into details about this sterling British car as the Wolseley is universally known. It is a car that is especially suited to local conditions, having a good clearance and plenty of power. It is built to stand the most severe journeys over the roughest of roads and has a surprisingly small consumption of benzine. 1
