POULTRY AND FARM ROOTS. THE COMPLETE PRIZE LIST. It is regrettable that such a long spell of wet weather has been experienced, as it uas - not only prevented many farmers a distance away exhibiting, but it has also, stopped them from coming into town for the Show. There is, however, a very good display of poultry, and no weather can, luckily, interfere' with the splendid and uniform quality which is a marked feature. Taihape can, undoubtedly, hold its own as a purebred, poultry centre, for not only do local men take prizes here, but they are also successful wherever they "go. It is rather remarkable that fir American utility white, leghorns Mr. J. McKenzie has taken first prize for best hen for six years in succession. As the prizes were distributed amongst both Taihape exhibits and exhibits from a distance, readers are referred to the full prize list hereunder. The Fltzherbert Cup was won by Mr. J. R, Cunninghame, the Awarua Cup by Mr. B. A. Fraser, J. McKenzie’s Cup was also annexed by Mr. J. R. Cunninghame. W. Mathie’s Cup was awarded to Mr. F. A. James, New Plymouth, and Mr. R. Cleaver’s 'specials were allotted to Mr. J. McKenzie and Mr. G. Church. The show of ducks and geese was not large. Field roots were a feature and Mr. A, R. Fannin exhibited some very fine specimens of mangels, taking most .of the prizes. Papaki Road was also very strong in swedes, Messrs Wilkie, Scott and Broome being prize-takers in purples, and Mr. W. McCombie was successful in whites and Mr. H. Jensen, Wainul, in the any other variety class. Mr. D. Broome was to the fore with the heaviest ro'6'ts, " being run 'up by Mr. McCombie 'and Mr, Thomason, of Taoroa. It is regrettable the Taoroa district was not better represented. In garden produce there was very keen competition the prizes fell to divers’ exhibitors, among whom, were J. Thomasen, F. Swindells, J. K. Gorrie, Mr. W. J. Forster, D. Broome, J. McKeown and R. Wilkie, and just as many second prize winners. Garden produce was creditable to those who grew it. The fruit section was not numerously represented, while it should have been one of the .best contested in the Show. Mr. J. McColl was the chief prizetaker; Miss B. Reichardt took first prize for a very good collection .of named, varieties. D. Broome and Miss N, Fannin -were the other prizetakers. ,

The ladies certainly excelled in the quality of , the cooking exhibited although the quantity nugnt hSve been All .the cooking was so firsrclass that it would he. almost invidious to, compare, Mrs. Sheath scored with her. best, white home-made loaf, and Miss' G. Duncan with brown. Mrs. D. MacDonald caught the judge’s eye with her excellent plate of scones. Girls urider 16 vied with their elders very favourably, Miss G. Duncan being weil to the fore as at previous shows. Miss R. Turnbull was awarded first and special for sponge sandwich. In the preserve section the names on the first-prize tickets mostly familiar were; Mrs. D. Neagle, Mrs. S. Forster, Mrs. R. Campbell, Mrs. Swindells, Mrs. Gillies, Mrs. Jensen, Mrs. A. R. Fannin, and Mrs. J. .Dunlop. The butter classes were not at all representative, but the few exhibits were really first-class. In art and fancy needlework, Miss L. Reichardt took several prizes; Miss N., McCartin was also successful; Miss C. McLaughlan secured first out of a numher of competitors in crochef work. The best plain needlework prize was won by Miss N. Fannin, Miss E. Collins being second. For girls under 10, Miss Jean Gordon secured first for plain needlework. In the painting class Miss Reichardt was again successful; Miss E. McAuliffe was aware, ed first in animal life, and Miss N. McCartin in landscapes. The whole arrangements were most successful, and no hitch occurred. Mrs, R. J. Boyd gave general satisfaction in her difficult duty as adjudicator in the Industrial and 'Art sections.
