EGMONT SPRING SHOW

EXHIBITS OF VERY HIGH QUALITY STRIKING DISPLAY OF CATTLE PRIZES WIDELY DISTRIBUTED In perfect weather and under ideal conditions generally the : forty-sixth annual show of the Eginpnt Agricultural and Pastoral Association was opened at the Hawera Showground yesterday. Exhibits of a very high quality were entered in every class and the • judges of the various sections; expressed themselves as generally more, than’pleased with the high standard. The live stock sections created great interest, and to the farming community and visitors generally it was apparent that South / Taranaki a dairy farming.centre left little to he desired fiom the • ■rpoint of view of stock breeding. ... ; / ' Excellent arrangements were made for the showing of the vari- • ous classes and the officials are entitled to credit for the.smooth .runining of-the show, which was very favourably commented upon by competitors and visitors. ; *

<• -The ? attendance yesterday wag cori.- ; . sidered very- satisfactory, - being up. to t '' . •'the, -numbers for the first day. ; V It .is, expected: that with, a continuance <- - of the favourable weather there will '■ be a record attendance to-day—people’s / day; The officers responsible for the "organisation and - successful funning of . the show are:— President, Mr. W. McL’Dowie; vice-president, Mr. 0. H. Washer; general committee,’Messrs A. Applei- ? yard, F. W. Atkins, P. Bremer, J. E. Canipbell, H. 1.. Crocker, N. Crocker, E. - VL. 'Death, J. Forbes, B. C.

As the day progressed the showgrounds, provided an interesting spectacle and the general lay-out of exhibjits made the visitors’ task of covering ■ -ythe whole range of the show an easy . one. ' . .. . Motor-cars of the latest models, and ; . farm implements and machinery of every description wer'e attractively and ■ interestingly shown. All the usual fun of the fair was amply provided by a number of side-shows and amusements which, together with the vendors of the jmuch-sought-after show fare, will be an attraction to the crowd on people’s day. HIGH-OLASS SCHOOL WORK. . ■ In past years visitors have made a special effort to view the work of the Hawera High School and have expressed ' ' amazement at the. excellence of the various exhibits. This year the work jir f shows, in some respects at least, a still • greater degree of efficiency and is in- , ' dicative of the results to be obtained > ’ from the teaching of various arts and < crafts among the younger generation. ' A particularly fine exhibit is that .of the Old Pupils’ Art Club (exhibits having been sent from many parts of : 1 ’ the Dominion) the work of former art • pupils at the school. This exhibit is ’ the outstanding result of an endeavour to create such an interest in the work ■ done while pupils as will give the necessary stimulus to carry on after leav- . ' ing. • ' ’ ■ ' f That results of a high order are being ■ v obtained in the engineering classes at . the. school was. apparent from the work displayed, comprising as it did a wide ’• range of metal work in its various ■ , stages, and engineering draughtsmanship. J In view of the widespread suggestions as to the teaching of agricultural matters in the schools, it is interesting to study the methods employed at the ' (High School In connection with the scientific side of the treatment of soils and manures. The exhibit establishes the .fact that the importance of this branch of education in the school is far from being overlooked, and every facility availaL.e is apparently given ' ’• those pupils interested in what is becoming a more and more necessary branch of education. • '••It is well established that this is ' " J the day of the revival of arts and crafts, and a creditable display of fine leather work, .a new branch of endeavour in‘the school, is a most interesting • exhibit. The generalappearan.ee of the ’ various bags, etc., forming the exhibit Is exceptionally good. • -The importance of commercial training is evidently well recognised and . a display of the work done on the /. latest lines of office routine with the use of present-day equipment gives the , impression that advantage is being . taken of the opportunities afforded at ■ the school. . In the home industries section good entries were received throughout, though the entries in the cooking classes were fewer.than last year. The judges were well satisfied-with the standard of exhibits and in some cases experienced considerable difficulty in making their awards. That the fancy work displayed was .'of a particularly high standard was the opinion expressed by the judge of this ■ -section, who was also extremely pleased ’ -with the work of the children’s sections, .yvhich. was spoken of as excellent. Nearly double the number of entries over last year’s figures were received in the art section and the judge, Miss D. Garnett, who officiated in the unavoidable absence of Mr. L. S. Polson, was of the opinion that the work was of a much higher standard than previously. Particular mention was made by the judge of a black and white copy of • Franz Hal’s “Laughing Cavalier.” ASSISTANCE OF LADIES. As in past years the ladies’ commit- ’ tee .is controlling the refreshment side

of tlie. show,, and great credit, is due .to then! ; and. their assistants for the excellence of the arrangements. It is a noteworthy fact that, the whole of the lamb, m,utton and sucking pig used for luncheon was donated by farmers and' was cooked by the ladies on the grounds in a specially; designed cooker. Not the least important feature was the willing assistance given by the. high school girls. To-day. is people’s day at the show, and favourable \weather will doubtless attract a large gathering. Many items of interest are scheduled, including pony leaping competitions, championship jumping at 12.30 p.m., grand parade at 2 p.m., and steer-riding championship at 2.15 p.m. A further feature will be the buck-jumping challenge ride between L. Goodger, jun., of Hawera, and W. Payne, of Stratford. At 9.30 the Henry Lane trophy, for the best cow in the open dairy classes will be presented by Mrs. S. A. Chisholm. Good wishes for the success of the show were received in a cable received by the secretary (Mr. M. C. Crighton) from Mr. Edgar Harrison, formerly of Hawera, who is now residing at Aberdeen, New South Wales. Mr. ‘Harrison in the past was a well-known exhibitor of cattle and ponies at the show. Two of his sons were former competitors in ring events, being noted particularly in connection with steer-riding contests. COMMENTS BY THE JUDGES. The popularity of the Jersey as a dairy • type was demonstrated by the numerical strength of the entries, practically every class attracting a large field. The quality, too, was excellent throughout, and won the admiration of the judge, Mr. W. H. Meiers. Both the aged bull and the three-year-old bull winners were “tip top,” and so were the placed yearling bulls, he said. In this section 14 entries faced the judge, the ringful of vigorous young animals in the pink of condition presenting an attractive spectacle to the large gathering of Jersey fanciers who followed the afternoon’s judging with keen interest. No less than‘2l yearling heifers paraded, the judging ring resembling a large farmyard full of well-bred stock. The placing of these gave the judge much trouble, it being hard to separate the qualities of some of the animals. “The cattle compare most favourably with the best in the Waikato,” said the judge, “and I could not wish to see a better lino of yearlings than the placed bulls. The winning yearling heifer, Mr. H. C. Sampson’s Woodland’s Lady Bess, an animal possessing a very beautiful head, appealed to me greatly.” The entries in the dairy cow classes were also most favourably commented on, the judge considering they would hold their own anywhere. Entries in the Jersey section were received from various parts of Taranaki, and some from as far as Wanganui and Palmerston Championship honours in Jersey bulls were awarded to Mr. R. L. Horn’s Leis Niemes Emperor (imp.), Mr. P. J. Petersen’s Snowview’s Squireen being reserve champion. Ku Ku Brooklet, an aged cow owned by Mr. Horn, secured the championship in the cow classes, with Mr. Truby King’s Ivondale Golden Rainbow reserve champion. Ku Ku Brooklet won her 50th. championship at the Palmerston. North show recently, this award making her 51st. FIT FOR ROYAL SHOW. Very favourable comment on the Friesians was made by the judge, Mr. S. W. Norrish, who has been a successful exhibitor at leading shows for the past twenty years, and is also a judge of many years’ standing. “The champion cow, Mr. W. J. Eames' Livingstone Lady Makaloma, and the reserve champion, H. Johnson and Son’s Segis Lady. Waihi, are of outstanding merit, and fit to take . prizes anywhere,” he said. “They are equal to anything I have seen and if they were mine I would take them to. the ~oyal Show. The first and second .in the three-year-olds are outstanding. The yearling bulls also are very good, but the male section is not as good as the female classes. Taken as a whole the entries are a very creditable lot, but there should be four times as many competitors in this class in a district like this.”

“The Ayrslr - s are few in number, but the quality ii excellent,” commented the judge, Mr. A. C. Johnstone. “The champion cow, Waipapa Dolores V, is an exceptionally good animal, and the reserve champion, Waipapa Princess Mary 11, is a wonderful heifer. She should go a long way in the show ring. It is regrettable, that there are not more entries to make more competition. Although they are numerically disap-

pointing, this is made up for in quality.” “A very fair class,-” commented the judge of the Milking Shorthorns, Mr. J. C. Wright. “The three-year-old heifer, Egmont Rose, is a very goed 'ypb of the breed. The . c -petition in this section, however, is not very great, although the breed is coming back into favour and there has been a fair demand for good Shorthorn bulls this season.” "MONGREL” CLASSES DEPRECATED. The provision of show classes for grade pigs of inferior breeding was not favoured by the judge of the pig section, Mr. J. A. Russell. “Any. show society encouraging mongrels in shows is making a great mistake," .he said. “Some of the entries show no breeding of any description and are not likely to raise the standard of the stock. It is better; to maintain classes solely for purebred stock, and if farmers desire to go in for crossbred pigs they can cross with purebreds on each side. I think if this is adopted farmers will find their , pigs will do better and produce better grade stuff. It is really more profitable to keep the better class of pig. Not only do they fatten more quickly, but they eat less food than the scrubbers and give greater net returns for the outlay. The Berkshires, especially the young ones, are-of outstanding merit. The purebreds all through are a very good lot, and the standard has improv'd very much since I was last judging in Taranaki about three years* - ago.” The quality of sheep was well maintained in comparison with previous shows, but the number of entries, showed a falling away. Fat sheep were not strong numerically, but the lambs on the whole were a choice lot. The Lincolns included some very good animals, Mr. P. Bremer’s exhibits scoring well. A few bf-'these had triumphed at the Wanganui show against leading Wairarapa > and Hawke's Bay flocks. Romneys presented fair quality, but . there was little of exceptional merit. Southdowns proved a very even and attractive section. Some of the entries in the class for T. Borthwick and Son’s special prize exceeded the weight specifications and the judge advised that the- conditions should be strictly' observed on futiire occasions. EXCELLENT HORSE. CLASSES. “In a typical dairying centre one does not look-for very good quality horses,” said the Clydesdale judge, Mr. W. D. Blair, “but the conformation of . the-animals, the -trueness to type and the quality displayed made it evident that even in this class Taranaki could hold its own With any province in New Zealand.” He was sure the horses on view could be shown anywhere and be in the prize list. The champion mare, Moore Hunter Estate’s Morgiana, by Bonnie Dene —Sesame, was a splendid animal and typical of the breed. The same owners paraded the reserve champion Ferangis, by Bonnie Dene—Rudabeh, and she showed prospects of developing into a high-class animal. The same pair had won the two-horse team class with ease. . Leppers, tall and angular, stocky and muscular, competed in the jumping classes and so good were the exhibitions that the judge, Mr. A. A. Swaffield, enthusiastically declared them the finest jumpers he had ever judged; Tile obstacles were particularly “stiff,” but few horses 'failed to surmount them. Moasear, a Te Aroha horse, narrowly won the Hunting Competition from a large field after a thrilling contest. The most exciting events will be competed for today, including the Egmont champion jumping competition, for. which such great jumpers as Moascar, Ginger, Nimblefoot, Comet, Passport and Akbar have entered. Speaking of the brood mares in the Cyldesdale section the judge, Mr.- W. D. Blair, remarked that in a good, I class the first mare had won well, 'while the second one, although of great quality, had not been in show condition. The third showed signs of wear. TYPICAL CLYDESDALES; “Typical of the Clydesdale breed,’’ was how he described the Moore-Hunter Estate’s winning dry mare. In conformation it was excellent and had been shown in good condition, ultimately being selected as the champion. The winning three-year-old filly, the only entry, could be called only a good . sort, while the two-year-old filly had good feet and ankles and should develop into an excellent mare. In the-yearling filly class the winner was of good stamp and won well, the second place-getter not. having been sufficiently handled. The first horse in the three-year-old gelding class was of good size and the second a fair stamp of draught. In the two-horse team the winning pair, the champion and reserve champion had had no difficulty in . annexing the prize. He did not speak so favourably of the spring-carters, being of opinion that many were good plough horses and had not the necessary activity for a firstclass spring-cart horse. Great enthusiasm was displayed bv the judge, Mr. A. A. Swaffield, in his remarks concerning the saddle horses. He selected the performances of the lady riders for particular mention, stating that the class was the best he had ever judged, and that a bigger or better class could not 'be expected at any show in New Zealand. The manner in which the ladies had handled the horses had been little short of wonderful. The most suitable mare for breeding hunters, Mr. S. Topless’ Sylvie Maid, he considered would take a prize at any show. In the 13st hack mare or gelding class, the winner, while good, had been a little above himself, but the 15-stoners were only moderate. The cobs were a very good lot and fit to compete anywhere, and the winning .lady’s hack was just fair. The best mannered and paced hack, Miss Doris Young’s Silver,;, and the runner-up, Mrs. L. Hicks’ Grey Mist, were two good greys.’ whose manners would be hard to equal. Commenting on the jumping competitions, the judge said the leppers were a distinct credit to the district and the jumping as fine as he had seen in the Dominion. The hunting competition, with its valuable prize, had attracted a large entry and the jumping was remarkable. The obstacles, a hurdle, hencoop, brush, hencoop and double, were formidable, but generally each of the 18 entries had performed creditably. The winner, Mr. G. Wyborn’s Moascar, had given a really clever exhibition, which was necessary, as it had beaten Mr. M. Cole’s Ginger by only one point. Four horses had tied for third place, but he had gradually weeded them out to one. Some fine jumpers were entered in the ladies’ hunting competition and good horsemanship had 'been displayed by the ladies. The maiden class had been a particularly good one, but he would have liked to see the winner’s head let go more than it was. “A very good ‘ exhibition,' practically every horse jumping well,” was how he described the wire jumping competition.

The first two horses had tied, but in the jump-off the winner had approached his fences better. .
