KEEN INTEREST SHOWN

CROWDS AT THE SHOW IpCtH CLASS COJVIPS'JDJTIPNS AMAZE VISITORS jEJorse classes, in which the strength offfhc entries amazed visitors from other districts were a feature of tho Poverty Bay Agricultural and Pastoral Association's Show this aftcrTidop, the hack and competitions classes having as many as 40 entries in 1 Some instances, and none of them falling below a good standard. The children’s classes were especially taking,' and the keenest interest was displayed in the decision of these competitions. .Though the jumping and horse classes generally absorbed the most attention from visitors to the grounds, th# sheep, cattle, produce, .home industries and other sections commenced morning were not neglected. It was evident from the inquiries . heprd that many patrons of the Show were anxious to see the dog section, which, however, will not be staged / witffl to-morrow. The attendance at the showgrounds - this afternoon was 4 particularly good, afei was indeed much larger than is usual on the first day of the annual Show. ’.The brilliantly line weather no doijfe baci a great deal to do with the decree of patronage extended to the function to-day, though at the same ' , tiie. the strength of the classes must *.h4-c meant 'a ’ - considerable 'increase. |f|wtiblic interest. If the attendance torjmorrow compares with to-day’s in thjg saulc relation as in previous years, there should bp a now record cstabby the association. i An indication of the mdnuer in which the attendance to-day outstrippea expectations was given by the complete clearing-out of the luncheon supplies provided by the catering concessionaire, thought these had been reinforced as far as possible during v the", morning. Ice-cream, cordials, and other cooling droughts were in keen detaand, and probably to-day was one of ! .the best experienced by the concessionaries at the showgrounds for a long time. Well worthy of the first day’s success wife the organisation displayed in tho conduct of the function. This was tho feral, of the Poverty Bay association’s shows for which Mr. W. E. Chamberlain ha.d’acted as secretary, and the completeness of his arrangements must have given satisfaction to officials of the association, who’ at the time of his appointment had to 'face some criticism on the score of the'.successful applicant for the secretary* bebn previously resident Out-side-the district. .Mr. Chamberlain made a highly successful debut as Show secretary it may be said bn to-day’s show* ini Tlie association, also .received good seryi§, in the course of its preparations for this' year’s Show, /rom the custodian of the' grounds, Mr. E. Crafts; A tradesman of experience, Mr. Crafts was able to' : iptroduce a number of time-saving devices ,; 'iri Ihe construction of ' hurdles and other gear for the annual function, and the effect of his work about the grounds was also noticeable to the seasoned patrons' of'‘shows.
