Looking round tho Tsmuka and Geraldine A. and P. Association’s Show in Victoria Park, Winchester, on Thursday last!, wc came across an old identity who said that if ho referred to his diary he believed he would find that it was fully 35 years ago since the last Show was hold in tmU locality. Thirty-live years is a long way back, and our aged friend further remarked that he had made a carotin study of the people in the park on this occasion, and had seen very few faces of the old pioneers of the district who were preseot at the last Show. Although it was 35 years since a Show was hold at D inehester, the Association had not gone out of existence meanwhile, for a show was held about ten years ago in Tcmukia, a“d Messrs Wareing and Grant had since, been carefully shepherding Ihe funds, which have now accumulated fram rent to a substantial balance. As we slated ia a previous issue. Air Philip Wareing, president of the Association, a short time ago called a meeting together, and the Association was resuscitated for practical voik. The public, in both Temuka and Geraldine, enthusiastically responded to the call, and the names of 220 financial members were immediately handed in—a clear indication of the feeling amongst settlers that an annual show at Winchester would be a popular event. A strong committee of leading men from both districts wa s then formed, who drew up a programme which brought forth a most satisfactory entry, resulting in a show which, for a first attempt, was considered on all hands to be a most successful oneWeather prophets at a distance were sending warnings of coming storms, and local prognosticators, taking'their cue from telegraphed advice and the dull mantle overhead, were predicting that rain would come without fail on Show day. In this they were partly right, for there was a light shower in the morning—enough to lay some of the dust-and another heavier _ showerbefore the day was over. The dull weather, however, had not a very marked effect on the attendance, for there were nearly 3000 people present, a large proportion coming from the Geraldine and Temuka districts, where the shower was not so heavy as it was towards Timaru. The business places at both Geraldine and Temuka were closed at 11 a.m., and the public schools were granted a holiday. Shortly before noon the main roads to' Winchester presented a very animated appearance with horsemen, cyclists, motor cars, drags, and private vehicles, and it was not long after the judging when the show ground was alive wit* visitors. The Geraldine Alonnted Rifles, about 50 strong, under Capt. Kennedy, came to hand early in the day, and later on took pait in the military events. Considering that no permanent fixtures had over been made in the park for a show, the committee did wonders in the short time at thendisposal, the arrangements being all that could be desired in the circumstances. An excellent ring was made by roping off a portion of Hie ground, fences were erected for the jumps inside this enclosure, and everything put into thorough show order. To the right of tho entrance to the show ground a long row of tents and marquees took up a considerable portion of the ground. First came the secretary’s tent, then the Dress "diggings, ’ the" luncheon booth, the marquee for produce, etc., the business shows, the amusements, and last, but not Fast, the licensed booth. The catering w a s in the hands of Air G. Bryant, Geraldine, who had a booth for tho sale of soft drinks and confectionery, a large public luncheon booth (which was crowded throughout the day), and a smaller luncheon booth for the officials. The licensed booth was run by Mr C. J. AloKay, Temuka, who did good business. The Geraldine Brass Band, under Bandmaster J. Allan, were present, and treated the public to some of the best selections from their now extensive repertoire. The work of the class stewards, judge;, and ofijcials was carried out without a single hitch, and the president, vice-president, and the Association’s energetic and courteous secretary, Air W. F. Evans, are to be congratulated upon the success of their efforts, and the general satisfaction given to the exhibitors and the public. With such a capital attendance, the Show could hardly be anything but a financial success, the takings at the gates amounting to £9B 4s. About -4 p.ml thore_ was a shower of rain, but the public were prepared for it, and the majority remained to see the finish of _thc jumpino- events, farmers driving away shortly after 5 o’clock, with beaming countenances at the prospect of a, welcome deluge for their parched lands. A goodly number of thirsty souls from over the borders were not so eager to reach homo, and delayed their journey for a fond farewell to Bacchus > before going once more into the “dry.’ THE BUSINESS TENTS. Naturally for the first yc a r the show was not strong in displays by business firms. Messrs T. Buxton and Co. had a neat tent display of “Challenge” flour, and samples of broad made therefrom, also samples of the gram, bran, pollard, screenings, and various breakings. Air A. Bell had a stand for bicycles. The Singer Sewing Atachine Coy. showed several of their latest models in sewing machines, aitd made a specialty of the Singer ’darner, a young lady operator giving exhibitions of the work to into - ested visitors to the tent. 1 he dnmei ran bo worked on any lock-stitch machine. THE AMIISEATEYIS. As at all other agricultural shows ol late, the side-show ground was literally overrun with “Hoop-la,” there being no fewer than five stands erected for this attractive game, round which crowds ot young people gathered for hours, while the never ceased tempting them, witn “nine shots for a bob.” A few feet away was n circus tent, at the door of which n man with a most seductive voice, made ell manner «f offers on behalf of »■ °®

Gardiner, the English champion wrestler, who was u, mutually laucu on by a local man for a five minutes bout, ana by Guimard tieuiukaj for n sixmuiutua go. A great throng ot mo* surged ialo the Lent, and came out crying out that Uunnard had won. The Uuor-sliouter aiso announced an exhibition of what ho culled ooojitsy" by Alias La Mure, who would show them how a lady could boat her husband when ho comes homo drunk." THE EXHIBIT r.

Tho pens Were oi stakes and wire netting, with a hurdle in front o. #acli, and were quite comfortable, t he exhibits chieliy comprised heavy-weight flats ’ and butcher’s "fats, ’ and, although it was not a big' show, the quality was all there. The moat succcd.vui inhibitor was Mr Folia Maekejizu, of Geraldine, who won Colonc. Hayliural's special one guinea prize lor most points, carrying oil six firsts and several seconds and h.c.’s. Air Donald Grant came well up with three Imßs and several seconds. Air D.

Ah' A. Gimson got a second prize for a pretty little Jersey bull calf, seven months old, which, owing to there being only one class, had to be tutted against "n 12-year-old bull. Air Gimson’s little beast is “i’rinoe Ivan,” by -‘Brighton Twilish,” who won the championship two years miming in Christchurch. HORSES. A great feature, was the splendid ■how of light horses, which is said to have excelled that of the Timaru show. On the other hand the draught classes were not so well represented as at the bigger shows. Col. Hayhurst’s special prize for most points in draughts fell to Mr IV. Bell, who showed the brood mare Star, bay gelding Captain, and bay colt Craigie Alains. Air Bell also won tho prize for three-horse team. IV. Wharton’s J ock took first and Air J.

Johnson’s team, G.AI.R., second, and Corp. Brown’s team, G.AI.R., third. PIGS. Tho pig pens were located next those of the sheep, and, as the entry was small, took up comparatively little space. Air A. K. Taylor got first for a fine specimen of a fat pig. Air A. Shaw showed two nicely bred porker-, and Air E. Prattlcy a good breeding sow. SHEEP DOGS. The sheep dogs were tied up under the plantation trees near the cattle pens, and were given a good deal of attention hv farmers. Air A. ASilkins*n took first, with Mr S.

The show of produce was a very creditable one, which speaks Well for the quality of the soil and the ability of tho farmers and their wives. The exhibits were exceedingly well staged in an extensive marquee among the other tents in canvass town, and quite a crush of visitors crowded in ami out during the day. Air A. 11.
