PEOPLE’S DAY AT THE SHOW

»,i : 1 '-to b :■ ■ . "i v 4 . CatUe and sheep sections were comjptcted today» W» 'dogs and poultry offered popular attractions, white the do** trial in the Yntmi ling drew the majority of 'tire Show patrons to the ringside fences immediately after the interval: A safe of fat stock '■was 6tit down for the noon hour, and farmers were keenly attentive for an indication of the new season’s opening riWs. Tfet atioWOV feature was the pip section, which showed the stimulus of reboot developments in the pork industry. Throughout the morning the crowd at the showgrounds Was steadily increasing, until at midday the attendance was at ife maximum, the country districts being futtticalariv well represented. , The competitions ring was again most popular, and Vith the open leaping competition, tile jubilee jump, and the ladies’ leaping •match a$ the principal feafuros, the aftemoot) programme famished much o? interest to the public.

HORSES MULL DRAUGHT CLASSES D ■ ; ’ • •- ■ GOOD CHAMPIONS ’ the entries in this section were not numerous, and indeed were so small as, to occasion comment by many spectators as to tlie decline 'of the heavy breeds in the district. The judge, Mr. ,R. E. Jefferson, Wairoa, was not enthusiastic abdut the strength of the classes, but found scope for pleased leonimeut in the class of the champion and reserve champion mares, which, he said, represented sound breeding types, and were in themselves good examples of their kind. The fact that the championship for entires had tor-be awarded to a colt, for want of edtepeititSoß frOm mature entires, was remarked upon with regret by Mr. Jefferson, Who pointed out that the surest way •to Creating a scarcity o‘f the right type of breeding Stock was to lack the ser-; Vices of suitable stallions. The colt Wfcidh won the championship was a good sort, ahd thoiild leave its mark on the heavy stock of the district. fINE CHAMPION ULOOD ENTIRE iHie champion blood entire. Defoe, was tim cynosure of attention from many tingsiders during the judging of the blood classes, and the judge, Mr. T. F Wbelch, of Hawke’s Bay, commented’ Ron the fine stamp of horso represented by the champion. The champion was a beautifully topped horse, he considered, and its general conformation was of the . Mr. Whelch had a heavy series of g Sections to bundle in the cOdrse of the Show, and his comments on the hack classes were of general interest. He had noted, be said, Draft practically every ■ttftry had been Well turned out, this . observation applying to both rider and totortft $n classes where the horses were ridden m the ring.' He was impressed by the general style of the classes, and with the manner in which the horses and riders comported themselves during th» SADDLE HORSES.

Favored by Brilliant Weather GATHERING APPROACHES A RECORD Impressive Parade of Winners AXEMEN’S AND EQUINE COMPETITIONS No Show in Poverty Bay within recent years has been ftvoftd With such weather as was vouchsafed for People’s Day tt tht To Hapara grounds to-day. The sky, though not cloudless, BboWed a httrtllShSd hlilO, and sunshine streamed down upon a gathering that has not been exceeded in numbers and in colorful pittortoqtrenefis since the war years. sldeshowmen did a roaring trade throughout the day, and in every department of the display the keenest interest was shown by the public. Off Special interest was the inclusion in the schedule of this year’f Show of axemen’s events, these comprising standing and Underhand chops similar to those which were a few years ago among the beat-supported and. most spectacular events at town and country sports meetings, m these days, the district does not offer the oldtime scope for clever axemen, and consequently there is not the soßto demand from the axemen themselves for opportunities of competition. There are still many first-class wielders of the axe, however, Who are keen to keep the sporting side of their trade alive, aha Tor today’s events at the Show the entries were quite satisfactory. ft is likely that in future years tire numbers of entrants in this section will increase, as the axemen’s events had their start today in a period in which the mill-staffs and their related groups of workmen are practically Without demand for their services. Other Sections of special interest on to-day’s programme Of the Poverty Bay Agricultural and Pastoral Association included a wide rang* of horse events, in saddle and harness sections, and the uih'al number Of highly-interesting competitive classes, with strong ehtiWß and a generally high standard of performances.

CATTLE VALUE OF SHOWMANSHIP RING-CRAFT DESIRABLE The value of ringer-aft and showmanship on the part of exhibitors in the cattle section was commented upon by ’the judge of the largest division in this section. “The bulls and young cattle were in'great quantity and in better quality, than I expected to see,’’ said the Jersey judge, Mr 8. Moreland, Hamilton. “I have yet to see the most important paid 'of the Jersey division,” lun ■added, “but from what 1 have seen Of the bulls ahd tire young stock, I am looking forward to seeing some very: food cows. You have made very rapid strides here during flic last two or three years, and the young stock is of the Tight type which should lead on even further. “I was very pleased to see the large number of splendid quality bulls being used ns sires. They should lie a great asset to their owners in the very near future with the stock they will leave. I would like to make particular mention of the yearling and three-year •bulls. The winners of the first and; .second prizes in both these classes: were really outstanding animals, and are equal to holding their own in the best of company. The champion bull, a three-year-old, was a particularly! fine beaut, and the reserve champion, also a three-year-old, was another of a very fine type. “In regard to the exhibitors,” Mr Moreland added, “I would like to criticise their ringeraft. They should oay more attention to this. Some of them appear to have spent hours polishing the horii& of their exhibits, but only minutes teaching their animals to lead and to stand. This makes it difficult for a good animal and for the judge when an animal is not shown to the ’best Of thb exhibitor’s ability. A showman can make a good beast better, although I would not say that ho could make a poor beast good. If two exhibitors showed two animals of equal ‘quality, the better showman would win. Let me put it this way: A bull that has not been trained to stand or to lead, may come into the ring walking rather awkwardly. The judge does not know.whether the animal’s gait is natural, or whether it is due ‘to conditions be is not used to. Tim judge cannot afford to take any chance and assume that the way the boast is walking is due to his unusual surroundings, and that is why I mean that showmanship is an advantage.” GOOD DAIRY CLASSES The judging of the dairy cattle continued ''throughout yesterday afternoon. The large entries in 'the Jersey division made progress there comparatively slow, and the afternoon was well forward before the day’s duties for the judge were Completed. After an absence for some years, the Ayrshire division Was reinstated with a small rtubiber of exhibits, which, however, Were animals typical of their breed. Thi judge, Mr N. ‘Carter, of Whaktrtniie. Said the aged bull, which was awarded the championship, was a very nice ani. mill and should breed some very nice' stock. The first in the yearling bull .Class 'Should develop into a fine beast;

he was a typical Ayrshire with plenty of constitution; in fact, both of the winners had constitution, and ably represented their breed. Much interest was displayed in the tattooed grade yearling heifer, any breed. In announcing this class to the large, number of spectators round the dairyjudging ring, the chief steward, Air. D. J. Camming, said this class originated with the Herd Testing Association, and lie was pleased to see the support that was forthcoming, which augured well for future shows. To qualify for the tattooing, a calf must have been out of a. heifer that had produced at least 2501 b of fat in a season, or from a mature cow that had produced 3001 b of fid. under herd test. Any breed of calf could -compete ,so long ns it fulfilled this condition,, and so long as it was sired by a pedigree bull with bntterfat backing. The large number of entries gave some idea of the popularity of the tattooing movement in the district. This was the first year the class had been included in the schedule, and the support given this year fully warranted its inclusion. The Jersey entry this year is 36 greater than last year. The greatest advance has been made in the- pedigrees, which numbered 60 last year, against 90 on this occasion. The grade Friesians have increased from one only to nine, and the pedigrees from four to six. The -Milking Shorthorns decreased from eight to six. The fat cattle made a fine display, and they increased in numbers from 30 last year to 46 to-day.

SHEEP ROMNEY CLASSES GET-UP STANDARD Particular reference to Hie general gof.-up of the sheep was paid by Mr A. C. Morton, judge of the Romney section, who completed his duties lute yesterday afternoon. Tho classes on the whole, he said, were satisfactory, though there were one or two features that required to be watched. In some eases the mohtlis were not quite even, ami with some of the sheep the roofs of tho mouths were black, while others showed lack of attention

BIG FLEECE SECTION “CREDIT TO DISTRICT” PROFESSOR PERRIN’S PRAISE Owing to the unusual volume of entries in the fleece section, and to the fact that the judges found it necessary to reclassify two of the lots of exhibits, the judging of tho section was not completed until shortly after 10 o'clock this morning, though the judges made a start a (i a.m. On the completion of their work, the judges, Professor Perrin, of Massey College, njnil Mr. A. Baillie, referred to the section in terms of the highest praise. On the whole, they said, it was a very fine display of wool, and a credit to the district. It was particularly gratifying to see such a large number of entries—the largest that Professor Perrin had seen in any part of tire North Island. The wool was in fair condition, but w T as affected by recent rain, the outstanding weakness being broken backs, which emphasised the importance of breeding a fleece that would shed the weather. Tho yield of wool this year was considerably ahead of that of last season from the buyers’ point of view. The champion fleece was a beautiful, even-grown lleeee, with a broad staple, evenness of crimp, and plenty of character, combined with good weight. Professor Perrin complimented the association upon the progressive move it had made in erecting special accommodation for the fleece section, the building being far ahead of the facilities provided at any other Show that Professor Perrin had visited. He complimented the stewards, Messrs L. Field, M. T. B. Hall, and E. Stock, on the businesslike manner in which they had assisted the judges and carried out their duties. Ho regretted that the length of time taken over the work had excluded the public from the wool room yesterday, explaining that the system of filling in individual seore cards for each fleece involved very careful judging and a large amount of, work. However, in lire judges’ opinion, the system was ot great educational value, letting the public know what the judges thougln, of tire exhibits, and it was hoped (hat, the system would be considered worth tho unavoidable delay. Mr. Baillie added that he had boon pleased to be associated with Professor Perrin iri the work, and trusted that he would return to judge the fleeces at the next Show. Additional awards in the lleeee section were as follow: •Crossbred flock ewe, not exceeding 44's quality (37 entries): I’ulceakura Station, 1; J. G. Graham, 2; Spyrnour’s estate, 3. Crossbred flock ewe, exceeding 44's quality (38 entries): Pukealuira Station, 1 and 2; Mrs.'J. Pykc, 3;‘ Pukealuira station, h.c.

’ to clean fibre in (lie wool. The natural > condition class showed considerabli • variation ill type, the finer wool slice] showing what was a feature of that 1 type —weakness in the belly and points, - Some of 1 lie exhibits carried too xuueii ; wool on the head. 'The condition ol the natural condition .sheep showed signs of heavy rain the spring. The general get-up of the, sheep in the open class, added Mr Morton, was in keeping with that of the metro'poli'tnn shows in the south. To-day the fat sheep and fat lambs were judged. LIGHT WEIGHT'S FAVORED Mr W. R. Maxwell, Hustings, who judged the fat lamb and fat sheep classes, stated'that he was in favor of light iambs for export, and many of the exhibitors here were inclined to patronise the heavy as against the, light lambs. One beautiful pen of lambs was only placed third because the lambs were a little too heavy for the London market. The lambs generally were not up to the standard, of previous years, continued Mr Maxwell. Probably the cold weather and want of sun accounted for the lack of condition. His remarks in regard to the weight of the lambs applied equally to tire fat sheep classes. .In that section there were one or two very nice pens of wethers that were inclined to be a bit too heavy.

In the past, it : was one that the association had almost despaired of succeeding with, and in one year recently the whole section was deleted from the schedule on that account. Even its reinstatement the following year did not have the effect of rousing the breeders, and the entries seldom exceeded 30. However, this year breeders have been encouraged by the donation of a number of trophies, and practically all classes have strong competition. The, Large Black division was the only one in which competition was poor. BERK SHIRES. Boar, 14 months and over (3 entries.'): AY. McKinnon 1, G. Winters 2.

HOME INDUSTRIES

OUTSTANDING SEWING WORTHY OF ANY SHOW The serving section, the judge, Mrs. Hilford, considered, was altogether outstanding. Most of the work was of a very high standard, but she was particularly impressed with the colored embroidery and fine crochet exhibits. These she described as being worthy of exhibition in any Show. Reviewing the leatherwork section as a whole, the judge, Mr. J. Thompson, said that the standard of work displayed was good, although competition was not great. The best class, he considered, was that for home-tanned leather, which was particularly fine, the winner’s exhibit standing out on its own. In future competitors would have a much better chance if they displayed larger samples of their work; it gave the judge a better opportunity of forming an opinion of its merits. The special exhibitions, Mr. Thompson thought, were of an expert standard, the two saddles by Mr. J. J. East, and the plaited work by Mr. J. Pearce, displaying a high order of workmanship. “I think the preserves and soap sections are worthy of any show,” commented the judge, Mrs J. McDonald. Taken as n whole, the preserves, she considered, were of a very high quality and in many cases she had found difficulty in making an award. 'The soap was an exceptionally fine section, qll the exhibits being of a high standard. ‘ BEAUTIFUL FLOWER SECTION. ” “I think the flower section of the home home industries is very beautiful and that a high standard has been reached,” commented the judge, Mrs. F. Barker. This she 'considered was especially the case in view of the fact that this is the first year in which there have been flower exhibits, and that at this time exhibitors usually have so many other things to attend to. This section, in her opinion, showed great promise for tire future. The howls of flowers, tire sprays and the wreaths she all thought were of a very high standard. In the classes for cut flowers and for Victorian posies, a number of competitors would have improved their displays-considerably had they put more flowers in the vases, and thereby, in the first case, given their exhibits a more massed appearance, and in the second 'class, if they had raised their exhibits more in the middle.
