EGMONT SHOW OPENS

HAWERA’S FINE CATTLE DISPLAY

BEST JERSEY CLASS YET PARADED

SUCCESSFUL EVENT PROMISED

PERHAPS the finest display of Jersey cattle ever paraded on the Hawera showgrounds came before the judge on the opening day of the Egmont A. and P. Association’s 49th. show yesterday. The stock was well up to the high quality of any previous show, and it was generally conceded that taking into account the more general representation of various breeds it was the best cattle show Hawera has ever had. In other respects the show had an auspicious opening with average public support and the promise of continued fine weather. The entries do not come up to the record established last year, but the decline is entirely in the home industries section. Stock entries are ahead of last year. Several North Island championships were allotted. x A new feature this year is the “all sorts of dogs” show.

SPLENDID DAIRY CATTLE

WHAT THE JUDGES THOUGHT JERSEY JUDGE WELL PLEASED. COWS THE STRONGEST FEATURE. Generally speaking the judge, Mr. H. J. Lancaster, Glen Oroua, . was well pleased with the Jerseys, particularly the cows. The 'aged cows were a good lot, and the winner was of fine quality. She was a little down in the loin but had a fine broad vessel, sweet head and great style. The second cow had a very large vessel but she was short in the front quarters and had not the width of ihe first cow. The third cow had a nice vessel, and had she been lighter in condition would have been placed second. As it was she carried too much beef.. The winning four-year-old was a fine cow with a perfect udder, but a better spread of rib would have improved her appearance. She would probably be heard of again. When the class for two cows in milk lined up the judge thought he had never before seen a finer lot of cows. In the three-year-old class he had reversed the Royal Show placing® because he considered the cow he placed first had more Jersey character and a better udder, and was shorter in the leg. The winning two-year-old was of good even quality, but the second was not up to the same standard. Another" Royal Show winner was paraded in the yearlings, and she should make up into a nice cow. The calf classes were not up to expectations. Mr. Lancaster was disappointed in the numbers in the bulls. The aged bull was rather too hammy and rather plain in the head, but he had a wonderful body and grand style. He was the champion. The two-year-old bull was an excellent quality animal with fine hindquarters, a nice heed and plenty of style. He was almost as good as the champion. The winning three-year-old bull was a winner at the Manawatu show. The winning yearling had a nice head and body with plenty of quality. •

JERSEYS ADMIRATION OF ALL.

STOCK ATTRACT KEEN ATTENTION.

It was generally stated yesterday that the jerseys were the best ever shown in Hawera, and one class was the finest that the judge had ©ver seen. The dairy section is definitely ahead of anything yet exhibited at the Egmont fixture. All other aspects of the show are successful.

The other dairy breeds were well represented. Though not nearly so numerous as the Jerseys, they included a good’-siamp of animal, and that as befitting a dairying district were a big feature of the show.

The' pig classes were another strong lot, about on a'par with the usual exhibition. The sheep were also quite fair for a Hawera show. The “all sorts of dogs” show did not draw the entries that might have been expected. There were'sufficient entries, howtver, to make this entertaining novelty popular with the general public, and the innovation proved .itself to be well worth while. Despite a decrease in entries, the home industries’ section is again an important part of the show. The standard of work in the various classes is quite up to previous years. ? There were the usual ring events to

attract the attention of the public, who were also catered for by the showmen.

The Hawera showgrounds have never before seen such a large number of side-shows, and the available space was ' taxed to the utmost. Trade displays with well-arranged exhibits were prominent and attracted considerable attention.

The major portion of the judging was completed yesterday, principally in the pedigree cattle, pigs and sheep section.. The most important section to be judged to-day is the dairy-section. Though the day was fine heavy showers early in the morning had an adverse effect on the public attendance. The gate receipts were £26 165., as against £2B 7s. last year. The takings were, however, ahead of those in 1930, when rain also affected the attendance.

AMONG THE AYRSHIRES. ABOVE ORDINARY STANDARD. Messrs. D. Buchanan, Tiakitahuna, and W. C. Wallace, Cambridge, said there was more than ordinary standard in the Ayrshire section. With the Royal champion exhibited, the bulls were up to the best quality in show-rings today. A two-year-old heifer not in condition was a very fine animal that at her best would have taken a lot of beating, The champion cow was an easy winner, and the Royal reserve champion did not repeat her Palmerston North success. In. the aged cow class a number of good cows were shown, but they were too old. In fact, young cattle were the best right through the section. A number of Palmerston North winners were shown.

The catering at the show is again controlled by the association, with Mr. J. E. Campbell supervising. There is a strong ladies’ committee, directed

by Mrs. W. Adams. ' 'The Hon. Adam Hamilton telegraphed ' as follows: “I appreciate very much, the cordial invitation which" your committee extended to me, through Mr. Dickie, ‘ to attend your annual show which opens to-day, and I had hoped that it might be possible for me to be present. I very much' regret that my Ministerial and Parliamentary duties prevent my being with you to-day. I hope your show will be successful in every respect.”

IOOD FRIESIAN CATTLE.

LOCAL ENTRIES DISAPPOINTING.

SHEEP AND HORSES.

Disappointment that not more Friesiane were shown was expressed by ‘Mr. A. Burgess, Rongotea, who expressed regret that a phst president and members of the council of the Frie<ian Association living in Taranaki were not H. E. Johnson (Tokaora) had brought his cattle out nicely, and they reflected credit on him. His aged and two-year-old cows were of good class; and so was the yearling heifer shown by Mr. E. J. Betts (Okaiawa). Mr. E. B. O’Shea; Ohangai, exhibited a classy three-year-old bull bred by Mr. 0. A. Cad wallader, Grey town. The calves were classy enough, but could have been presented in much better condition; and Mr. Burgess thought they had not been fed correctly. He was quite satisfied with the quality of the entries.

ALL JUDGES COMPLIMENTARY.

Mr. J. G. Donald, Featherston, who judged the purebred sheep, thought the quality was good but the section might have been numerically stronger. The winning sheep would take beating at even big sheep shows. The whole of the Clydesdales and spring-carters judged by Mr. H. Hocking, Feilding, yesterday gave him satisfaction. The quality was particularly good, though the entries were not what he had expected. Some of the classes, such as the springers, were good all round first-class entries, with plenty of quality. Mr. J. R. Hopkinson, Waitotara, was pleased with the light horse classes that he judged yesterday, and said it was a really good show of horses.. Most of the animals were well known in the show-ring as good sorts.

SOME QUALITY SHORTHORNS.

animals showing DAIRY -TYPE

PIGS SATISFY JUDGE.

NORTH ISLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS.

The judge, Mr. Syd. Hodges, Rapanui, *aid he was pleased With the display of Shorthorns generally, but would like to have seen more competitors.' The quality all round was good and the champion bull, a two-year-old,' was an exceptionally"fine animal. The yearling heifers were a nice typey lot and in the class there was close competition. The opinion of a number of breeders was that the champion bull ■hould have.been taken to the Royal Show, and so should the winning two-year-old bull and the champion cow. They would have been excellent representatives of the province. The male champion was a typical Milking Shorthorn with beautiful outline, fine shoulders, deep heart-girth and splendid hindquarters showing no signs of beefiness. Ho was the dairy type and had the characteristic Shorthorn head. There was most competition in the yearling heifer class, which was won by a nice, quality animal with one nearly as good second.

■Mr. D. A. gtewart, Normanby, found the pigs generally of a good class. In the Berkshire class there were only two entries in the mature boar class, and the winner was reserve champion of all classes. The winning boar under 16 months was a very fine quality animal, and won the North Island championship and Pig Breeders’ Association gold medal. The class was good. The sows were also a strong class with the North Island championship and gold medal at stake.

Though there was not a large entry of Large White pigs some fine animals were shown, the champion boar, one of the under 16 inonths class, was a magnificent beast. The aged sow, also the champion, was a really good type, with great length and plenty of depth. Sometimes the breed failed in depth, but this sow certainly did hot. > The Tainworths were well represented as usual. There was keen competition for the female champion, the aged

The Large Blacks were stronger than usual, and the aged boar was a typey animal. The females were very strong and taking it all .through the class was the most even in the show.

Commenting on the porkers an,d baconers, Mr. M. BArraclough, Hawera, the judge, said the winning porkers, Berkshires, were good pigs of an even type. They would kill light and were all meat from head to tail. The second lot of pigs, Tamworths, were also good, but did not have quite the type and quality. Type and quaityl also made the difference between the first and second entries in the bacon class. The third entry, though quite good, was a trifle lanky.

ALL SORTS OF DOCS 'INNOVATION MADE THIS YEAR. AMUSING CLASSES SCHEDULED. For the first time a dog exhibition was held in connection with the show, and much interest was. caused in the display. The entries were quite good and-there were many dogs of good type representative of various breeds. Wirehaired terriers and Pomeranians were much in evidence and Alsatians, sheep dogs, collies and sporting dogs vied with each other in making their voices heard. The spectators were keenly interested in the dog parade and the selection of the prettiest dog paraded by a child, the award being given by popular vote.

A good many of the classes provided for burlesque conditions and the selection of the fattest dog, the dog of tlie most varieties, etc., provided plenty, of humour. The fancy dress class was another to amuse the onlookers. Results are:— Judges: Messrs. A. T. Moore (New Plymouth) and V. S. Roberts (Hawera). Stewards: Messrs. E. M. Bardsley and B. C. Gibson.

HOME INDUSTRIES ’

COOKING AND HANDWORK.

WIDE RANGE OF ACTIVITY. The home industries section again contained a good collection of exhibote, all classes being well represented. The fancywork entries were not quite numerous, but many of tne articles revealed high skill in needlework. Among ■those worthy of special mention were ■aprons worked in colours, which showed a great deal of intricate work. Mats made from waste were also a feature, several being very attractive in colour and design.. Several very useful «pocimens had been worked from old fiugar■bags and coloured. t The cooking classes were the subject of keen competition, and not only •the entries well maintained but the quality of the cookery also was excellent and occasioned the j’udges much difficulty in coming to a decision. Th© art section was moderately representative and several of the exhibits showed excellent artistry. The. colour •work in many .cases was particularly good, but the entries in the photographic section were rather disappointing numerically. / ■ ’ ; There was a splendid collection or cups and trophies on view. These were the prizes to be awarded for the South Taranaki Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs" field competitions. - The Jubilee Institute for the Blind is again conducting a stall, the display being as interesting and varied as on previous occasions. Many new designs in basketware are on view and these are being offered for sale at reduced prices. At a recent meeting of subscribers the trustees stated that the institute was experiencing serious financial difficulties, due to the cutting out of Government subsidy and a fall in its income from investments arising from the. reduction of interest rates. Through the increasing efficiency of its. blind workers the institute had been in recent years growing steadily more selfsupporting, and now it must look mors than ever to the sale of wares to its men and women maintained, occupied and happy. Under these circumstances the trustees were profoundly grateful to its friends who assisted in marketing these very attractive wares. The home industries section was capably conducted by the following stewards: Misses G. Death, M. Ballantine, D. Swadling, E. Washer, A. Betts, B. Oldfield, V. Mortimer, E. Death, B. Young, D.
