WYNDHAM SHOW

ANOTHER SUCCESS

BRILLIANT WEATHER

HIGH QUALITY STOCK

There was no doubt about the success of the Wyndham A. and P. Society’s 56th annual show, which was held in brilliant weather yesterday. Conditions could not have been bettered, the fixture living right up to its reputation for warm sunshine, the entries showed a substantial increase on last year’s total, the gate takings, too, were up, and the stock, drawn as they are from one of the most fertile districts in the South Island, were of a quality to satisfy the most fastidious. In fact, the fixture gave the Wyndham Society additional reason to rank its show right at the top of the South Island one-day list. Wyndham is ideally situated for the purpose of agricultural and pastoral displays, the surrounding plains being noted for dairying records, the low-lying hills farther back carrying some of the province’s best flocks, and there being some of the South Island’s best known Clydesdale studs established about Wyndham and Gore. Hunting, too, occupies a definite place in the life of the district, so that the competitions were very strong both numerically and from the point of view of the standard of the riding.

FULL PROGRAMME STANDARD MAINTAINED JUDGES ENTHUSIASTIC There was one other conclusion that che visitor could not fail to draw after even a casual survey of the stock. It has been suggested for some years that this fixture has reached the stage at which the executive will have to give serious consideration to making it a two-day show, and yesterday’s display fully supported such a proposal. The president of the society, Mr Alex Greenlees, and his very energetic committees have a remarkably full day, and judges, stewards and exhibitors have so much to do in attending to their particular duties that they do not have a full opportunity to appreciate the remainder of the show. Wyndham has every reason to be proud that its show has become the envy of districts of similar size throughout and beyond Southland. The appointments at the Wyndham Showgrounds are all that could be desired, and from the time exhibitors began to preen up their stock until the last awards had been made there was not a hitch. Mr Greenlees and his officers kept everything moving sweetly, and the secretarial department, under the management of Mr H. F. Hicks, was fuly capable of meeting the many demands made upon its services. The presence of the Wyndham Pipe Band helped appreciably toward the gala atmosphere of the whole proceedings. The presence in the district of several important draught horse studs makes the Clydesdale section particularly attractive and good entries were received, yesterday. Scotland’s Superb, the wellknown entire, led the parade and a feature of the show was the large number of his progeny which competed and carried off awards. The light horses also made an attractive entry in a centre where hunting is popular and the competitions produced some very keen jumping which kept the crowd interested until a late hour. The cattle section more than maintained the satisfactory total of the previous show and the quality of the entries was quite in keeping with the high standard expected from the fertile Edendale plain where are located some of the outstanding dairy cattle studs of the South Island. The popular breeds were strongly represented and particular interest attached to the select exhibit of Ayrshires which included the two breed champions at last Royal Show at Invercargill and a young Canadian bull imported by Mr A. M. Weir and shown for the first time. So far as the sheep are concerned, Wyndham is unfortunate in one respect. The fact that the fixture comes between the Gore Show and the Southland A. and P. Association’s show persuaded some breeders to take their show animals home from Gore instead of risking wear and tear by attending the full circuit. However, in spite of that the entries in the sheep section showed an increase of about 40 on last year’s figures, and the judges expressed themselves as very well satisfied with the quality and the condition of the animals presented for their inspection. There were one or two breeders showing for the first time at Wyndham, and the quality was maintained throughout the different breeds and the prizes well distributed. The entries this year and those at last year’s show were as follows:— 1935. 1934.

This .year’s gate takings were £97 5/-, compared with £93 last year.

JUDGE’S OPINIONS HORSES. The draught section produced some attractive classes of Clydesdales representative of the many excellent heavy horse studs located in the district. Among the males, entries were not numerous, but the presence of several horses which have been successful show-ring contestants for some considerable time ensured a display of quality that left nothing to be desired. The females were forward in better numbers and several interesting rings were paraded. The working sections also attracted attention, but the exhibits were not outstanding. In a ring of four mature entries, the judge selected Mr R. Lockie’s Scotland’s Superb for the first award and the championship. This grand old show horse was beginning to show the effects of many heavy breeding seasons, but his undoubted fine type was clearly evident, while the number of his progeny which competed successfully testified to his breeding qualities. Mr A. Wilson secured second prize in the class with Free Seal, a very attractive stamp of Clydesdale entire. The three-year-old class was won by Mr R. Lawrence’s Roselands Risque, with Messrs Charles Milne and Sons’ Crosslea Sensation second. The reserve champion was found in the two-year-old class, the ribbon going to Mr Alex. Noble’s Verdlea Moonlight, which also won the

Clydesdale Horse Society’s medal. By Scotland’s Superb out of May Hazelwood, the female champion, this colt shows particular promise and should be an attractive stud proposition in a year or two. The yearling class only produced one entry and this, another son of Scotland’s Superb, Inglemere Gay Lad, was exhibited by Mr David Caldwell.

In the brood mare class the first award and championship went to Mr A. Noble’s May Hazelwood, by Dunure Hazelwood out of May Print, which was earlier in the week champion at Gore. Second prize and reserve award was taken by Mr Caldwell’s Inglemere Doreen, another daughter of Scotland's Superb. The champion was an outstanding type of Clydesdale mare possessing all the best breeding qualities. Sunray, a further daughter of Scotland’s Superb, exhibited by Mr James Beck, carried off the first award in the dry mare class. Two exhibits by Mr Noble in the three-year-old filly class, Verdlea May and Verdlea Peggy, were widely admired and received first and second awards. In a good ring of two-year-old fillies, Mr Beck secured first award with Strathfieldsaye Bell, an entry by Mr H. Simpson being placed second. The yearling class brought forward six entries of a high standard, first award going to Mr Caldwell’s Inglemere Orange Blossom, by Scotland’s Superb, with Mr Noble’s Verdlea Nancy second. The number of the progeny of Scotland’s Superb in the prize-list was striking tribute to the extent to which district breeders have leaned on this horse and their success indicated the breeding qualities of the sire. LIGHT HORSES. The light horses were a good lot, said Mr J. W. P. Vickery, who judged the section. There was competition in most. classes, in some very keen competition. Miss Wood’s Miss Kenwood, the champion harness horse, was outstanding and would be hard to beat in any showring. Its ring manners were exceptional, there was no waste action, it was a sweet horse to drive, and of a fine build. The champion hack, shown by Miss A. Oliver, was also a very fine animal and, for a thoroughbred, was docile in the ring. It would be easily handled by a woman. The yearling filly shown by Mr W. McDonald, a Wellington Direct-Sungod filly, was outstanding in the class. PONIES. Since he had last judged at Wyndham, two years ago, said the judge of the ponies (Mr Alex. Walker, of Outram), there had been a good deal of improvement in this section. The winner in the pony stallion class was Mr A. R. Johnston’s Fire Boy and to this horse the championship was awarded. It was, the judge said, a remarkably good horse, though showing signs of age. Second place in the class and the reserve honour went to Mr James Milne’s entry, a classy pony. The yearling colt or filly class was won by Mr G. P. Sutherland’s Royal Duchess, an outstanding filly. Yet another win to the long list standing to the credit of Mr A. R. Johnston’s Nothing Nicer was scored in the under 14.2 hands class. This aged mare, the judge said, although beginning to show her years, left no question as to the award. In the under 14 hands class Mr A. Duncan’s Danny Boy was first and the judge remarked that he was a very nice class of pony, although his manners could be improved. The female championship went to the winner of the under 13.2 hands class, Mr A. Duncan’s Trixie, an outstanding young mare. She was an especially nice mover, and in fact won the ribbon on her superiority in this respect. The reserve honour was secured by Mr A. R. Johnston’s Princess Marina, which the judge termed a good pony in the making—one which with further education should be outstanding. Another success was recorded by Mr A. Duncan’s Trixie in the harness pony under 13.2 class.

CATTLE AYRSHIRE. The popularity of the Ayrshire breed in the district was fully evident, representatives of some of the strongest Ayrshire studs in the Dominion, including .both of last year’s Royal champions being exhibited. Only two breeders were represented, Mr A. M. Weir and Mr T. G. Dobbie, both of Menzies Ferry, but the lack of competition was fully compensated for by the outstanding quality of the exhibits. Another interesting feature was the presence in a New Zealand showring for the first time of still another bull imported from Canada by the enterprising Ivanhoe studmaster. This was the two-year-old bull Springlea Swank, by Netherton Swank out of Corsehill Maria, an outstanding milking cow with a record of 5001 b. butterfat at two years, 6001 b. at three years and 7001 b. at four years on twice a day milking. This young bull caught the eye of the judge and was awarded the reserve championship. He is not expected to seriously challenge the Scottish bull Hobsland Senator, which secured the championship at the last Royal Show against the hitherto unbeaten North Island champion a few weeks after his arrival from Scotland. Hobsland Senator was exhibited unopposed at Wyndham, while Springlea Swank was shown as a two-year-old against a pleasing bull shown by Mr Dobbie, Ardgowan Rising Fame, a son of Avonside Star of

Fame. The only other bull in the show was a senior yearling from the Ivanhoe stud, Townhead Daniel, which gave considerable promise for future shows. There was a larger representation among the females with several very pleasing rings. In the cow in milk class, Mr Weir’s Ivanhoe Josephine, last year’s Royal champion again prevailed and was widely admired, but the same exhibitor’s Ivanhoe Phyllis, a daughter of the Canadian bull Harnelbel Calamity Pride, made keen competition and promised to be a keen contestant for championship honours in the near future. Mr Dobbie secured the red ticket and reserve award with Springbank Susanne, by Ivanhoe Duke of York out of Springbank Mademoiselle in the dry cow class and the judge observed that had she been shown in milk she would have made strong competition with the champion. Mr Weir secured second award in this class with Ivanhoe Queen of Hearts. In the three-year-old heifer class, Mr Weir showed a particularly pleasing heifer, Ivanhoe Sheena. Mr Dobbie’s Springbank Minnie was somewhat low in condition for show purposes and would probably have secured the red ticket if shown in proper condition as she had rather better udder development and handled particularly well. Ivanhoe Tulip, by Harnelbel Calamity Pride, exhibited by Mr Weir, was the winner of the two-year-old heifer in milk class with Mr Dobbie second. Mi Weir exhibited two attractive heifers m each of the senior and junior yearling classes and collected the principal awards. FRIESIANS. Although competition in some classes was restricted, the Friesian entry was excellent and in point of quality was considered equal to the exhibits at the Christchurch show. The Friesijms at the Wyndham Show have steadily improved in the last four or five years and the breed is becoming increasingly popular in the district on account of its suitability for rigorous climatic conditions and the high yields which can be expected from this breed of cattle. All the exhibits were in good show condition although some of the cows were carrying rather too heavy a vessel. The winner of the cow in milk class was Messrs A. and R. Udy’s Lelbume Daisy Queen, a very attractive cow shown in splendid condition, but in the selection of the champion this cow had to give way to Mr James Brown’s Newark Apple Blossom, which was shown in the three-year-old heifer class, an outstanding heifer, true to type, showing a beautiful vessel and hard to fault anywhere. Mr R. H. Dickie secured the second award in the cow in milk class with Lauderdale Daisy Zozo, and first award in the dry cow class with Lauderdale Lady Delhurst. Mr Dickie was also the winner of the two two-year-old classes with attractive heifers. A number of promising heifers were shown in the senior and junior yearling classes, the winner in the senior being Mr Dickie’s Lauderdale Princess Coral and in the junior Mr James Brown’s Newark Wild Rose, both of which were highly praised by the judge (Mr W. Brash). In the aged bulls, Mr Dickie carried off the championship with Lauderdale Mercena Burkeyje which was showing rather much condition. Mr J. McLean’s Lelburne Guardsman Pride was placed second in the class and was a fine specimen, although lacking in the back ribs. The yearling bulls made a good class, the red ticket going to Messrs Udy’s Lelburne Royal Leader.

JERSEYS. In quality and standard the Jerseys were very pleasing, said the judge, Mr J. Wishart (Ryal Bush), all the classes producing keen competition. The champion female, Mr Rolf Clark’s (Menzies Ferry) Jersey Brae Sunny Morn, was a typical specimen of the breed possessing very fine dairy qualities. The reserve champion was Mr W. R. Ireland’s (Otautau) Waipeko Direction, which was showing signs of age but was also a very fine type. Mr Wishart said that a noticeable fault in the cow in milk class was the vessels. In the class for three-year-old heifers, Mr Rolf Clark’s Maori Precious Maid was outstanding, being a splendid type and should have a successful future. Another splendid exhibit was that of Mr Ireland in the class for two-year-old heifers, Gladfield Everlasting. The runner-up, Mr Clark’s Kyledale Flora, was also a good type, but sloped at the tail. The class for yearling heifers was a strong one, the winner, Mr Clark’s Kyledale Summer being outstanding. It was a distinctly promising heifer revealing all the best characteristics of the breed and should take further honours. The male classes were strong, the champion Mr Clark’s Beechlands Red Flag, possessing great length and being a grand sire all round. MILKING SHORTHORNS. Mi- Peter Campbell (Wyndham) was the only exhibitor of Milking Shorthorns with four good specimens of the breed. They were all true to type, the hair being good, the skin soft to the touch and the conformation excellent. SHEEP BORDER LEICESTERS. “This is the best show of Border Leicesters I have seen at Wyndham for a number of years,” said Mr J. J. McCrostie, of Invercargill, who judged this section. The quality was consistently good, he said. Mr J. A. Edwards, of Otikerama, and Mr P. Campbell, of Wyndham, were the only competitors, but their entries were exceptionally well brought out and they were well up to standard. Mr Edwards’s champion ram was an outstanding animal, standing well on its legs and carrying a good fleece of typical Leicester wool. Then there were no entries with a big margin of superiority until the ewe hogget class, the winner of which, one of Mr Campbell’s animals, was awarded the champion ribbon ahead of the same breeder’s winner of the aged ewe class. It was a beautifully woolled and balanced sheep, said Mr McCrostie, good in back but just a little weak in the neck. ROMNEY MARSH. The judge of the Romney Marsh section (Mr R. Anderson, of Kauana) was very pleased indeed with the quality of the animals brought forward throughout the section. He had not previously judged at Wyndham, he said, but he had inspected the sheep from year to year, and he was definitely of the opinion that the breeders had effected an improvement in type. All of the exhibits were very satisfactory from that point of view. The champion award went to Mr D. Robertson for a very pleasing ram. It showed a fine staple, and a compact carcase nicely covered with wool of typical Romney character. The reserve champion was very little behind in points and also was a very pleasing animal indeed, although it did not quite measure up to the standard set by the champion in wool and carcass. Mr Robertson also won the female championship and reserve ribbons. The competition throughout the section was keen. DOWNS. A good opinion of the Down sheep exhibited was formed by the judge (Mr A. W. Pannett, Clinton), but he remarked upon the paucity of competition.

In the Southdowns the Southland Frozen Meat Company claimed the greater part of the awards and the sheep shown were described as good types representative of the breed at its best. The standard generally compared well with that to be seen in any other part of New Zealand. The Shropshire classes provided no. competition, the only exhibitors bemg Mr S. T. Evans and Mr J. S. Marshall who shared the awards with good sheep, typical of the breed and well brought out. In the Ryland classes Mr S. T. Evans was the only exhibitor. He brought forward a particularly good class of sheep. They were, indeed, outstanding as specimens of the breed. CROSSBREDS. Competition was limited in the crossbred section, the only exception being the class for strong-woolled ewe hoggets, but the judge (Mr J. M. Watson, of Invercargill) expressed satisfaction with the quality. Mr Alex Greenlees took most of the prizes, showing well-woolled sheep of excellent quality, typical of the best crossbred standards. His winner of the single ewe hogget class was the outstanding animal shown, but Mi- Greenlees by no means had everything his own way in any of. the classes. FAT SHEEP. There was an increase in the entries over the whole of the fat sheep section and the judge (Mr D. Windle, of Gore) said that the classes were very even which indicated expert selection. Four pens were entered in the class for shorn butchers’ wethers, and Mr Wiridle said that the winner was a very nice Down indeed. The freezing wethers and ewes were of a good shape and excellent quality. There was a good entry in the class for fine-woolled butchers’ lambs and the winning entry, shown by A. and J. Young, was an outstandingly heavy one. The 801 b and under fine-woolled freezing lambs were a good quality lot, he continued, but they were mostly too light. The winning pen, shown by Mr P. Campbell, was outstanding. The strong-woolled lambs, too, w<sre of consistent quality and of very even size, and in this class Mr Windle found it very difficult to make his awards. The pen-of-five-freezing lambs class for fine-woolled animals was a good one, the entries all being well put together. Mr R. McCaughan’s entry had the advantage in weight. The coarse-woolled class here also was very even indeed. The last class, for pens of three fat lambs for freezing produced the best entry in the show for evenness, that of the Wyndham Racing Club, concluded Mr Windle. DAIRY PRODUCE Warm weather had obviously hampered exhibitors in the butter classes. According to the judge, Mrs G. F. Burgess, the quality varied considerably, though the section was one of the best seen locally for some years. She had encountered fair competition throughout. Local factories made a very good response to the call for entries in the cheese classes. Mr A. L. Gulliver (Invercargill) gave the awards. It was worthy of note that the prize-money had been fairly well distributed and the section was decidedly pleasing.

BAKING Mrs E. H. McGillivray (Carterhope), who gave the decisions in the baking section mentioned that she had found the bread and scones in particular to be worthy of special mention. She paid a high tribute to classes for exhibitors who have never won a first prize and expressed the opinion that a better lot had seldom been seen locally. Next to scones, the shortbread class was most outstanding. Cakes and small goods came under the jurisdiction of Mrs M. C. Dalrymple (Oporo) who said the section compared more than favourably with previous exhibitions. She found competition keenest in classes for butter sponge, Napoleon cake, chocolate cake and tricolour cake. Fruit cakes made a good showing but several exhibitors showed a tendency to overcook. So far as the amateurs were concerned decorations and sweetness were a little overdone. As an illustration in point the judge mentioned the class for afternoon tea cakes. The section for junior girls atracted very satisfactory entries and Mrs Dalrymple was pleased with the standard attained. In this respect the local show ranked as the equal of anything in the province. THE PRIZE-LIST HORSES DRAUGHTS.
