SHEEP Although the entries in the rdiecp section were better than last year, the display was disappointing in at least two respects. The Lincoln entry was deplorably weak, only one exhibitor coming forward in the whole section: His entries were certainly highly creditable, but it is regrettable that there was not more competition. 'Hie farmers’ classes, open to those who own not more than 500 acres, were, also very poorly supported, only one exhibitor coming foiy ward in this section. The display of Romneys was the best that has been seen at the showgrounds for some years, both from the viewpoint of numbers of entities and of quality, some very line sheep being seen in the local classes. No English Leicesters, Border Leicesters of Sbropshires were shown, but there was a good display of Soutlidowns, some very line rams being shown by Williams Bros. In the fat lamb section there were some good exhibits, Messsrs.

A very interesting display was staged by the Hume Pipe Co., which is now manufacturing all kinds of reinforced concrete pipes in Gisborne. Staged hv the local agent, Air. R. Robb, the display provided an excellent illustration of the many uses to which concrete can be put. A septic tank, suitable for 14 persons was shown, while an exceedingly interesting portion of the exhibit coasisted of the reinforcing for high pressure pipes suitable for a water supply. These pipes which are made in a 9-in. diameter are supplied in six feet lengths. Other ftipes suitable for drainage work and culverts were also shown, these being splendidly finished. A water trough suitable for farm use, and a quantity of agricultural lime which can be supplied to farmers completed an exhibit that undoubtedly demonstrated the high quality of the products that are now being made in Gisborne.

SHEARING DISPLAY. A display of sheep shearing with the famous Wolseley machines wits given on a.stand by Messrs. Dalgety and Co. The display gave farmers a very good idea of the high quality of these machines and the efficiency of the latest handpieces.

AROUND THE SIDESHOWS'. As usual there were many sideshows on the grounds, all classes of amusement being provided for young and old alike. The old-time merry-go-round and the ocean wave both attracted the usual gathering of enthusiasts, while a new thrill was provided in the merry mix-up. Hoop-la shows and dart-throw-ing tents were in abundance and a very interesting display of axemanship was provided by Dave Pretty, the world’s champion axeman. Giving local axeman substantial handicaps lie demonstrated his skill by beating them by a handsoihe margin! In the same tent Harry Sandow, champion wrestler, and Ratner.the boxing expert, tried conclusions with Gisborne amateurs.

Little Titcii, tiie world’s smallest bull, attracted great attention, hundreds of country folk flocking to . see him. A seven-year-old pedigree Hereford, perfectly formed, lie stands only just over two feet in.height. He is on a world’s tour, having landed in New Zealand only a fortnight ago.

ESKIMO PIES. ‘•'Eskimo.pies,” which proved, such n wonderful attraction, at. the Dunedin Exhibition where they were introduced for the first tithe, made their first appearance in Gisborne at. the show-grounds to-day, when Mr. O. Ferguson distributed them. Needless to say with the warm weather there was a wonderful demand for this unique confection, which consists of a block of ice-cream coated with chocolate. The confection, which, needless to say, is exceedingly dainty, is made in a patent machine which sprays hot chocolate over the icecream and then freezes ii once more.

The Kaiti Queen committee had a stall on the grounds, and were busy collecting funds in furtherance of their Queen and the Macrae Bath proposal. Members of St. John’s Ambulance Corps were in attendance ready to lend assistance to any who were in need of them. The Y.M.C.A. bad a tent on ilie grounds, where full information regarding the extensive activities of the institution were available. Mr. W. Barron, who lias been an institution of past shows for many years bad again erected his tent, where free distribution of religious literature could bs obtained.
