THE SHOW

GREAT DAIRY CATTLE EXHIBITION THE OPENING DAY As far as the weather was concerned the conditions for the opening of The Thames Valley Agricultural, Pastoral and Horticultural Show yesterday was ideai. During part of the day the sun was obscured by clouds, and though it was very warm it was foot unpleasantly so. The judges, assisted by the stewards, commenced their duties promptly, and notwithstanding thfeiarge entries made considerable <pW>gress during the morning. The grounds Were in good order and all the appointments, with one exception, were satisfactory. While pressmen received the usual courtesies and the best of treatment in their efforts to obtain information no pressroom was provided, and they were obliged to write their reports as best they could in the open grounds or on the granstand. Probably Te Aroha is the only show which fails to provide the accommodation necessary if the work of the reporters is to be carried out in an efficient way. The attendance on the first day was confined chiefly to exhibitors, of stock, but there was a fair “number present, and the judging of 'the cattle and horses was watched by an interested crowd. For cattle no better exhibition could Be seen, and the entries were all up to a high standard. These beautiful .animals which are contributing so largely to the success of the dairy industry were much admired, and farmers found pleasure and instruction in patching the judging of the different classes. The cattle'had been well prepared for the show and to the ordinary observer very fine distinctions would be necessary ip awarding the prizes. Full classes was the order of the day and as “far as Jerseys were concerned there was no need to deplore the lack, of competition. The black and whites are always well to the fore in making a goOdly show and here again the competition was keen. These pretty animals with their quiet dispositions and aristocratic appearance were much admired, and the entries were a great advertisement for the increasingly popular breed. The ,ring op which the horses were judged had its own special claims to attention. In the breeding of horses the district has earned much distinction, Und some fine animals faced the jud■'gds. The chief spectacular events will be held to-day. The exhibits in the horticultural section were not staged yesterday morning, but everything will complete for People’s Day. Side shows were a prominent feature and in making provision for the entertainment of visitbrs young and old were considered'. There were a few trade exhibits, but it was apparent that full advantage is • not taken of the show by those who deal in farm implements, machinery, etc. The show in all respects is a distinct advance on any previously held, and if the present state of progress is maintained the A. and P. Association would be justified in considering the question of improving some of the appointments, which are hardly in keeping with the prosperity of the district. To-day the Municipal Band will provide music, and it is expected that there will be a record crowd. The grand parade will be a spectacle worth the entrance money, and the hunting and pony events will be distinctly in advance of former years.
