WALLACE SHOW.

GOOD SHEEP SECTIONS.

WEATHER UNFAVOURABLE.

The Wallace A. and P. Association held its annual show on the show grounds at Otautau yesterday, but the weather was against a very successful function. Throughout the day heavy showers made it unpleasant for both spectators and stock and under the circumstances the gate receipts were good, the sum of £29 7s 6d being taken. Such a day was unfortunate for the association as it was expecting to make a good profit, and in this was assisted by the gift of all luncheon requirements, which were donated by lady supporters, who took charge of the luncheon booth. The Otautau Pipe Band was in attendance and played selections and marches during the afternoon to the delight of those who were within hearing. Everything with regard to management was good and Mr G. H. Stevens, president, was backed by a willing band of honorary officials, who kept things moving in good style and did not • allow interest to wane. The secretarial department, under the capable control of Mr John Fisher, gave no grounds for complaints and anyone seeking information was readily supplied. CATTLE. The Milking Shorthorn classes did not provide any competition for W. P. Hishon, who scooped the prizes offering with four nice yearlings. The male championship was awarded to Maranui Red Star by Centreburn Jock—Abbey Vale Rose. This yearling was first in his class at Winton, and is a wel set youngster. The female championship went to a yearling heifer by the same sire from Grumpy 2nd, another class winner at Winton. There was more competition in the Ayrshire classes and some good rings were paraded. The male championship went to Ivanhoe Sir Robert by General Haig— Ivanhoe Eva. He was a good dairy bull with a great depth of rib, well sprung. Perhaps the second placed aged bull was better over the shoulder, but he did not carry the barrel of the winner. The female championship went to a two-year-old heifer owned by Mr W. T. James and by Baron Russel Dalnair from Sunnyvale Stately, the cow which won in the aged cow class. This heifer, Sunnyvale Reta, was awarded the yearling ticket at the same show twelve months ago and has developed nicely in the meantime. The yearling heifer, owned by J. D. Clouston, placed first was Glen Orkney Maud by Ivanhoe Ringleader from Glen Orkney Kate. This heifer also won the special for the best type of dairy heifer in the show, the ring being a strong one, in which some promising producers were paraded. Both Messrs James and Clouston are comparatively new breeders and their stock was turned out in good condition. They are moving along the right fines to produce good animals. The absence of Leith Bros, from the Friesian rings was noticeable and this detracted somewhat from the display, nevertheless the quality was good. Fraser and Kirkness added another championship to their list with their aged bull Rosevale Echo Sylvia Sir Colantha, the bull that scored at Winton on Wednesday. The female champion was also the same animal as the Winton winner and was owned by Gibb Bros. This cow. Dominion Mirelo, by Longbeach Primrose League—Mierlo, won the special for the best type of dairy cow in the show and she thoroughly deserved her award. In this section she was hard pressed by the crossbred cow, also Friesian strain, but the crossbred did not have the same depth of rib and lacked a little behing the shoulder, otherwise she was a great cow. The Victoria Park stud was again successful in the yearling class with Netherland King Rozine the bull that was first at Winton and second in his class in the Royal Show. He is not looking so well as a week ago, the long journeys telling their tale. However, he carries enough dairy points to stand out in any ring and will be hard to beat at the coming Southland Show. For many years Mr T. Norman has entered a strong team of Jerseys, and the dispersal of this stud had a marked effect on this section. The male championship went to Golconda’s Resembler by Remarkable of Meadowbrook from Gollingwood Sweet Pea. The bull carries strong strains of the Twylish blood and shows it in his bearing, while his dam has a record of 6461bs of butter-fat as a four-year-old. A great bull and one that will improve any herd. The female championship went to H. D. Norman’s entry Belvedere Nana by Nonnie's Golden Laddie—Belvedere Recovery. A cow full of breed character and carrying a stylish head. Over the hip and pin bones she is good and her udder is well set forward and carried evenly. In the two-year-old class W. A. Archer repeated his Winton performance by winning in good company with Aparima Jewel, a heifer purchased by him at T. Norman’s sale for 41$ guineas. She is by Lavington’s Fair Lad from Tumanako Maid, and is fulfilling the faith placed in her when her present owned secured her for such a price. The crossbred section was a good one and some very fine animals came before Mr J. S. Grieve. This is a section which should be encouraged more as the average farmer cannot afford to breed from stud stock, while he often possesses a good crossbred animal which he would parade if the inducement offered were sufficient. The best cow in this class was a Friesian cross shown by R. Hishon and she was a great dairy animal A little weak in the shoulder perhaps, but her udder and milking qualities were exceptional, and she went very close to securing the special for the best dairy cow on the ground. SHEEP. In the Border Leicester classes Mr W. Kennedy had no opposition, but this did not prevent him from showing a good selection, which was thoroughly representative of the breed. It was the unclothed and unhoused classes of the Romney Marsh sheep that really made the sheep sectione one of the best in the show. In the stud classes W. Kennedy was again prominent and took all the red tickets, but in the unhoused section the competition was stronger and other breedera came into the limelight. For natural Romneys the exhibit was easily the best in the history of the association, and the animals were hard to separate. The wool wa in good condition and the winners had nicely crimpled fleeces of even quality, with a good staple. There was an absence of any coarseness in the wool and the yolk was well up. The carcases of the sheep shown were good and it was noticable that there was a great evenness in shape, conforming to the type required for the fat lamb trade. The prizes in this section were evenly distributed and in many instances the judge had hard work separating the placed sheep. The Shropshire and Southdown sections were again gifts to W. Kennedy and there will be some interest taken in the meeting of these sheep with others at the coming shows. The animals shown were good in the wool while the carcases were just that type required from mutton-producing breeds. There was a good entry in the crossbred section and the fat classes produced some well finished animals. A prominent breeder in these classes was G. Low, while W. May secured a number of awards in the amateur section. HORSES. The entry in the entire section of the Clydesdales was disappointing, only four animals facing the judge in all classes. The championship went to James King’s two-year-old colt by Dunure Fabric. This

animal filled second place at Winton but the placing was reversed yesterday and McCallum and Son’s entry took second place. This colt is a bold mover and on the day deserved the award given him. Another entry from the same breeder, Victor’s Prince by Scotland’s Victor— Agatha 2nd was another winner. The special for the best yearling colt or filly was won by W. Kennedy, while P. G. Dalhenburg won the Isla Bank Cup for the best yearling filly (restricted). The female championship also went to a two-year-old, this time to Myra Bell owned by A. Miller. She was a sweet animal and fulfilled the traditions of the breed. As usual the working draught section was a good one, in spite of the fact that entries were not numerous. The larger portion of the awards went to McCallum and I Sons, whose entries were the same as those j shown at Winton. | Only one thoroughbred was entered and this was Some Boy 2nd and he was awarded the championship ribbon, being of outstanding quality. The now famous grey gelding, Bingen Brook, by Nelson Bingen— Brookwave was the winner in the trotting gelding class, but he did not have a great deal to spare from his younger brother. This youngster is going to develop into another good show ring horse and he has much the same action and gait as his elder brother. The remainder of the light harness awards went to horses well known in the show rings of Southland and although their numbers were small the rings were of high quality, which kept interest well maintained. The special for the best boy rider brought keen competition and the award went to W. Kennedy, while Greta Muir won the special for the best girl rider. COMPETITIONS. The competitions were not up to the standard of the previous show, and the entries not so large as expected from a hunting centre. The open jump was won ;by M. O’Brien’s Lady Betty, a jumper i with a long list of successes against her ! name. Lady Betty jumped well and | gave her rider an easy mount. There was |no doubt about her winning and she had > something in hand from her nearest rival. The dog trial was a good one and resulted |in a win for the veteran, J. B. Purdue, whose Don put up a good run. Don has improved considerably and yesterday worked in a willing manner and handled his sheep firmly and surely. The dog classes were well filled and the awards evenly distributed. DAIRY PRODUCE. This is the women’s section of the show and the entries were well up to previous years while the quality of the goods was of the highest. Everything required to make an ideal meal for the hungry was carded and the merits of the exhibits keenly discussed by many busy housewives, who invaded the tent to see the results. JUDGES.
