PRIZES AT STRATFORD SHOW

HEAVY ENTRIES; KEEN COMPETITION

RESULTS OF FIRST DAY’S JUDGING

The Stratford Winter Show opened yesterday morning and ' before noon the judging in the various sections was well advanced, and the show was practically complete. With large entries drawn from all over the North Island and keen competition in nearly every class, the judges were set difficult tasks, this being especially so in the home industries sections, where the product of hot ovens and the results of many hours painstaking needle-work gave experienced judges long intervals of deliberation. Indeed, the display of fancy work was exceptionally good and covered a wide range of art and article.

n We don’t require any lunch, we have been studying so many delicious cakes all morning,” said one of the stewards in the cookery division. Here also tables were laden with entries, and the judge expressed keen appreciation of the standard of the cooking.

Two long tables were occupied with the farm and garden section, some exceptionally fine roots and vegetables being displayed. In all the competitive sections, except the poultry, which will be judged to-day, the show has a wide appeal, and the whole is tastefully arranged with a view to permitting close inspection of all entries.

Considerable interest was taken in the district .court competition, in which outside judges experienced great difficulty in allotting the prizes. At the last moment Cardiff found it could not arrange a display. Thus the contest lay between Mahoe and Toko, the former taking first place and the latter second, Entries in this competition are being fostered by the committee. The judge of the art and photographic section (Mr. J. R. Wall) drew special attention to the entry of 0. M. Nasmith in the pencil sketch. He said ■the head and shoulder study was outstandingly executed, some very fine work indeed being reproduced. The still life water colours by Mrs. N. B. Curtis (winner) and Mrs. W. Pettigrew (second) were also considered to possess exceptional merit. “In my opinion,” said Mr. Wall, “they are worthy of exhibition at any show in New Zealand.” There was a contrast in the first and second place fillers m the water colour landscapes of Miss V. Rout and .Mrs. N. B. Curtis. Over these the judge pondered deeply, finally awarding the major honour to. Miss Rout, not so much because it was better work, but because the study was very much harder and contained requirements of perspective and draughtsmanship not so necessary in Mrs. Curtis’ entry. j Two dozen handsome cups to be won in the various special events at the show were displayed in a fine glassfronted case, and they made an imposing display near the entrance to the ■rear court. . , A thoughtful provision in the hall .01 industries is the retiring room for ladies arranged 'by the Stratford Plunkot So Cl< As* was the case last year, the South Taranaki Automobile Association had a fine exhibit covering the elements of danger in motoring. The moving parts of a large model representing a typical countryside and highways made the display particularly attractive and drew a great deal of attention. The prize list is as follows:—-
