The. popularity that the Waimate Slibw Jias attained since its inception, 43{ years . ago, was evidenced yesterday, when, town and country resir ieiits attended in large, numbers, at Kitchener Park. The weathpr in the early pari of tlie day, was,ideal, but irißhe’afteriiddh, a slight shower fell, and .chillier conditions then prevailed

for the reniaiiider of the day. A striking feature of the dhy \Vas the lairge array, of privately-owned motor carS on ‘the ground, which lent strength to. the assertion .that the Waimate district is an affluent one. The gate takings amounted, to £lB9 Bs',, compared with .£2i 3 Gs last year. .During the last twelve months the Association has effected several; improvements. , The cattle Hn& has been ,enlarged tb':-enable • two-mlasses .-.to..be: judged at the same time. A very necessary improvement was tlie erection of a lo.ading bank alongside the grounds. , Previously the ; bank Was sortie, distance %way, aiußexhibG , tors had to. drivd their stock;: U> the grounds.

' The side shows, were more numer-

H day.® During the afternoon; a, riiim- . ber of popular airs were rendered .by. the Waimate Pipe Band. Tlie of- , ficials entered into their duties.with n enthusiasm, and their ’ well-directed efforts, under’the supervision of the • president (Mr T. Hamilton),, could Hot but meet with success. Thesec-

tetarial duties, in the hands of Mr 'Albert J. Hoskins-, -were faithfully •/ Carried out, and he .earned the appreciation of all. for His'wbrk'.; '; The entries this year showed a Substantial increase and, compared with twelve months ago, were as fol-

' "'V 850 /• ; - $ "' -v :: y Border Leicesters, judging by the h big display, yesterday, are, still in Btrong demand for Jtjbe,r lamb trade, while Corriedale entries, which were also largely increa'sedT were an , indication, of the [demand that now . exists for the finer wools. English Leicester, Southdown, Romney Marsh; crossbreds and fats, were a'lso .well cdn!3tituted what was considered^by".man y to be one of the^-jnestfdisplaysfpf 1 ,’slieep ever seen 6n.the ”g J it h ' ( w ea - ther conditions;: during - the last fe\y,;wepks'jit'jwas-' expectedv that stoclcj'wquld-'conie in; good condition, ,and Tn this respect stockmen were by no means disappointed. - v<< ~,, , ; The ’Border''Leicester,class was again well patronised, and with such 'Exhibitors as Messrs G. 3?. Johnston, > A. M. Copland, R. , J.. Low, and , H. Ruddenklau competing, a fine show . resulted. The championship honours in this class Were awarded to Mr IL " Ruddenklau and Mr R. J.

.CATTLE. „;rln the cattle Section, Jerseys were again the.; predominant breed, and jthe marked increase in entries proves •undoubtedly that the dairying industry in Waimate is well on the upgrade. • • .. ■ ' In the Jersey class Mr S. Dale secured the highest award, with ■“Beaveland© Tim,” a bull of • outstanding quality. The reserve championship went to Mr R. Madderh’s Juanita’S 'Paddy, a .well-formed son of Juanita’s, Girl, which secured the championship award for cows. Juanita’s Girl'.also securpd the championship at Timaru.- In the Ayrshire class the principal award was. given to Mr W; Duncan’s “Sunny Val© Robert,” and iti the Shorthorns, to Brown Bros:’ three-year-old hull. Friesians were well represented, and good competition resulted in the championships going to Mr J. Brigg’s “Dutch Prince,” which also secured the award at Timaru; and in the other class, tb Mr H. Allmitt’s “Morven Lady Gold Top.” In tlie open class, Mr R. Aiaddren secured first prize, with “Juanita's Girl.” HORSES. Hackney entries showed a big increase over former years, and the quality was also well up to standard. Taking into consideration the falling off in the demand for roadsters and serviceable hacks, the entries were undoubtedly a very fine lot. The class for best weight carrier, mare or gelding, fell to Air R. A. Ferguson’s Warfare, a well-built animal that was shown with some distinction at the Timaru fixture. Air AV. J. Parry’s Ginger, which secured the championship at that Show, was placed second. Aliss AL M. H. Nichol’s Plato, a distinctive animal of good quality, was placed first. in the weight-carrying class up to 13 stone. Aliss C. AlcLachlan's Self Defence being placed second. In the lady's hack class, which attracted splendid entries, Plato was also placed first

above Self Defence. The best weight carrier up to 11 stone was found in Mr R. W. Dailey’s Spark, Mr A. Med : licott’s “Kilvera” being placed second. The class for gelding or mare most suitable for troop horse, resulted in Mr Ni p.; Rattray’s Doctor being placed first, and Mr A. Medlicott’s Kilvera being awarded second place. Tlie first prize for best walking hack was awarded to Mr N. G. Rattray’s “Doctor,” and tlie second prize tb Mr W. J. Parry’s “Ginger,” The champion hack turned up in Mr R. A. Fergusoffis “Warfare,” the best all round hack shown.

Thoroughbred entries were well up \o last , year’s standard, although no improvement, in.the numbers'entered was noticeable. In, the female class Mr J.‘ B. Fox secured the championship, no award; helps; made for the male section.' . The three classes for light hahn ess "horses produced a good quality of r exhibits., Miss: ,V. M. -H. Nicholls, who secured the championship award .at; .Timaru with “Plato,” agdin took honours yesterday. . The hunting events attracted considerable interest, and spectators were treated to splendid exhibitions of jumping. In the ; heavy-weight class Warfare was placed ahead of Mr E. B. Harrison’s. Six Cylinder, both horses jumping in fine style. The light weight class was universally expected to fall to MiSs C. McLachlan’s Self Defence, and, the prognostication was easily fulfilled. Mr E. B. Harrison’s Satinelia jumped into second, place, with Heave Ahoy; the property of the same owner, thiicl. In thb maiden class, Mr N:.G. Rattray’s Grey Star whs awarded the honours, with. Mr ,J. S. Manchestei s Colleen, and Mr. R. A.. Rickman s Anthony, second and third respectively. The. class for hunter, owned arid ridden by members of the Waimate Hunt, was awarded to Mr R. A. Ferguson’s Warfare, with Miss G. McLachlan’s Self, Defdrice a good second; . In the class for best jumper, Self Defence obtained the coveted position, after alt.,excellent: display, Mr E. B. Harrispii’s .Satinelia securing secorid idhpe, '.with Mr R. A. Ferguson’s Tiaiaia, third. _ ; , The draught, librse section wa,s again well patronised, and the quaK ity of the exhibits was of . a good standard. 'The championship’: and reserve ■ championship were both won by Mr J. Patrick, .with Eidlewoqd Topline and Expression 11. The championship axyard for mares fell to Mr A. Brbwri’s' “Maggie Knight; and thh reserve championship to Mr j! Patrick’s Bold Lass.

• .PIGS. ... Pigs, were again well represented, Mr E. C. d’Auvergne and Mr H.\All- - were the, principal , exhibitors, . the former having little difficulty in securing the. coveted awards in the Berkshire class for both boar and sow. The sow, Meadows Chief | Queen, was a particularly fine animal, and in the opinion of the judge was fit to show at any fixture. , TH6 ‘champion boar, Meadow ,S ( amiiiy, was also a distinguished looking animal, I and well deserved its award. | OTHER CLASSES. . , •Ali other sections of the Show were marked by keen competition. Dairy produce, in particular, showed a most encouraging advance, and a splendid- display attracted inconsiderable attehtibh. Thb children’s sectfdns, both''for* cqoking and .handwriting, were well patronised, and Verr creditable, work was to .be seen.

TRADE EXHIBITS. C.F.C.A. A MOTOR OLYAJPIA. The display of cars by the C.I'.CA., Ltd., this year included makes ami types to suit all tastes ami pockets. On visiting the stand the eye was immediately taken by a magnificent Hudson Super-Six, which ranks \wth the finest in the world. The model shown was capable of developing 35 to 40 horse power il required, and cmbiaeed all the latest improvements and equipment to give added joys to motoring. A notable feature was a special attachment designed for bringing hot air from tlie exhaust pipe to the earburefter. This, by throwing hot air into tlie mixture, brings about an immense saving in petrol. Its elcoLric system is almost perfect, and nothing is left out that could improve tlm standard ~l (he car. The beautiful lines am! general finish suggest grace and ease, while the body is strongly built, without ( nirini'ig any unnecessary v. eight.

With beautiful upholstery in genuine leather, containing interior ventilators, u ell-appomteil n incl-sereeii, perfect starting system and fuil lighting equipment, which gives the iuliest possible headlights and 'dimmers; 1 thq’.'Hudson is claimed to be the. finest value car ot the tune, its price being £595 complete. The next ear to come under observation was the Crosslcy, which is ot British manufacture and strikingly illustrated the skill of the British workman.’ The engine is perfectly finished, and contains all the modern improvements of the higher priced car. The C.F.C.A. have only recently acquired the Crosslcy agency, and judging by tlie interest displayed ju this car yesterday the step taken .should be a forward one. Tlie Crosslev embraces all tlie latest improvements, and the interior finishings are of the .very best. 'I he painting and general fiuisli are excellent, and the fact that this car is ot ■English riianufacttirc and is marked down at the reasonably low price of £525, should be sufficient guarantee ol all-round genuine value, and pride and satisfaction to the owner.

■ A sports model Packard, .the finest American car: in the country at the present time, was alsd - viewed with '•considerable interest. .Gracefully designed, with disc wheels aiid tin exceptionally powerful engine; there is a general eoniii'leteness in every’ detail. 'J lie niaii who wants tlie' best ,at a figure within reason should, undoubtedly buy a Packard.

A five-seater touring model Fiat, ot Italian manufacture,, was the subject of much favourable comment. Since its imjiortaiibn into New Zealand this car liiis obtained a most distinguished re r puLatiou. The outstanding feature ol tlie Fijil is its remarkable engine, which (•liti develop sufficient power to negotiate iiiiy grade and is fumed for its ixchlleiiee under all conditions. Tlie low .petrol consumption for which it is noted is ti big cons.donation for the man qf .average means, The body is splendidly biiilt, iiiid in every lino is .shown the coaciiwork of experienced builders. Tlie .interior is finished in the very best leather, and all the appointments go ty make tlie car the most sought after light weight oil the market. The price, £595, is undoubtedly low for such a type as tlie Fiat. Adherents of the Hiipmobiie were interested in a five-seater model,' and were loud in their praise of the ideal fatmer’s car. The liupniobile is a car for service in all weathers, and its strengthi and virility is proved by tlio rough visage that many of them have stood up to in South Canterbury. The genera] appearance of the ear is suggestive of riding comfort and’ durability. The price is £495 plus £25 for wire wheefs. t . , The moderately priced Essex,.winch 1 is a .product of Uie Hudson factory, arid, .is more or Jess a fotir-eylindei motto!' of tfio larger car, was also in cvident'c, . It is complete, .with .all improvements, with a well-built body upholstered ii,i real leather fitted to a sti-qiigly bpiit chassis,. . Snubbers are added to. give comfortable riding over the..roughest r.oads, and the four wire wheels ar© indicative of greats speed. „ To complete a tour of this veritable iilotor plympia an inspection of the universally. popular Chevrolet was necessary.’ The models exhibited were a five sealer, dc luxe and a jstaiidrird touring:. It is obvious .-that the-popu-larity of the Chevrolet is duo “to its lightness, traditional reliability arid .eoiuparntivc;cheapness. Tlie sales iiiada driring the‘ past' twelve, riionths ate ample proof of this. From jibint of cebrioinv arid' satisfaction it'*is undoubtedly the car for every day risb. Tlie piamihietueers guarantee this jioihilaf car ifi do thirty miles to the giiliqii, an.‘,ae(:ouiphshntenk:,that e;iii, bd.vcqurilled bv very lew cars. Rcad-v for uSe the do lrixo is priced at. £270 and the tftnrmfSf'itUpdel „uR speak" fdi:~ themselves'." ' The exhibit was undoubtedly ii fine one, and reflected great credit on tlie motor department manager (Mr R. Malian) and his assistants wlib were kejit bii.sv showing interested visitors round arid readily explaining various points.' ' :

DOMO SEPARATORS.

G. S. AIEREDrTFL_AND Ctb’S EXHIBIT. The AVaimate firm of G. S, Aleredith and Co. are. always to.the. for©.in en-, terpi'ise, and their stand attracted , iiiariy visitors. The Domo separatorwhich tliey . displayed yesterday, lias, a record of clean skimming equalled by no other machine, and it lias-maintain/ cd a skim milk test of .01 throughout; years of daily use. The “Domo” is Spotlessly clean ii few moments after each .skimming, and the cream from which the butter is made is always _tlio best. Self-oiling and self-balancing, this simple and valuable machine requires the 'minimum attention. The enclosed gearing of the “Domo” makes for safety as well as cleanliness, and it is quite easy for a child to operate. Tlie “Doiiio” lias been not inappropriately termed the logical partner ol the. practical farmer and tlie good cow, and is said to lie as careful _ of profits as a cash register. The price ranges from £6 15s lor a twelvc-galloii machine to, £3(5 for 'lO5 gallons, which contains a chain drive with stand.

THE Wl ILYS-KNIGHT. AN OUTSTANDING CAR. A centre of attraction among the exhibits was the stand occupied by the highly exclusive AVillys’Kiiight cur. Hardly a single detail that goes foi comfort or -service lias been omitted in the building of these cars, while the same type of engine is also used iii the expensive cars of Europe—the Daiiiiler of England ; Panhartl, Peiigot, Alois, and A'oison of France; Mercedes of Germany, and Minerva of Belgium. Glancing at the cars which were displayed, one was struck by the artistry and roominess which combine to give the car the air of an arislierat. Apart from ilia splendid appointments of tlie cars, in the fitting up of which nothing lias been .spared that might add to convenience or comfort, the famous Silent Knight engine is ,n itself sufficient to attract those who may be mechanically ii.fjrcuteil. Considerable interest was shown in a handsome throc-scatcr, the body of which was the last word in ' workmanship and excellence of finish. Jt was painted a light bine with nickel headlights and radiator, and was luxuriantly upholstered with Spanisn grained grey leather. An inspection ol the chassis disclosed on exceptionally rugged frame rigidly reinforced with six cross members ribbed and braced to u itbstand the strains of the very roughest roads, and so constructed as to form a fitting foundation for the luxury built above it. 'flic now axle, which is of notable strength and efficiency, is of the three-quarter floating type and is t lie finest known In engineers. it was explained that ihe axle shafts merely propel (be car and do not boar its weight. In designing the Willys-Knighl car the engineers have given every eon.sideration to the comfort of the passengers, and neither time or money has been spared to make the job a good one. 'flic springs are of the finest- chrome vanadium steel, and the rear springs are of; 1 inches in length and of semi-elliptic design, 'flic front springs arc 3bjj inches long, and the ear is equipped both front and rear tvi 1 ’

the well-known Gabriel snubber, Used in the most exclusive English and Continental cars, the engine, with its up-to-date sleeve-valve system, runs with remarkable silence and efficiency. An outstanding quality attributed to the engine is that it improves with use, and it is claimed that it runs smoother and ijuieter after doing fifteen thousand miles than when it is new. Carbon only improves it. There is no valvegrinding, and owners have reported travelling 50,000 miles of uninterrupted service without using a tool on the engine. This remarkable performance it is stated, is due to the very simplicity of the Willys-Knight engine. Instead of noisy, clattering cams and pushrods. there are two simple metal sleeves which glide silently up and down between the cylinder wall and piston, one working within the other. Vents in these sleeves register at intervals for Uie passage of intake and exhaust gases. There are but 92 parts in the sleeve valve mechanism as against 362 parts in the poppet-valve mechanism in a car of similar size and price. When tlie engine was running on the stand yesterday it was hardly possible, unless close up, to detect that it was in motion. ’

NATIONAL MORTGAGE AND AGENCY COY. MELOTTE SEPARATOR. Although the National and Agency company Ltd; ;did not have .such a comprehensive aim varied display as last year, it wad none the less niterestinfe arid attractive. Prominently displayed were two typAs of the, famous"Melofte” separator, ..and the >• visitor could not but be impressed with then simplicity and efficiency. L enderhu sue jess has followed the “Melotte since' its .introduction 3& srears$ r ears ago, and to-day the machine enjoys extraordinary popularity and its large and continually increasing sale oilers the best possible evidence of its merits. A special improvemerit is the spring Lord guide arrangement, which is now fitted to all machines except the “00.” The “Melotte”, one-piece spiral skiminor. which is fitted to the sizes A., 1 aijd 2 machines, is very strong and easily cleaned arid - handled. .The comcdl separating plates are fitted to the larger size “Melotte” bowls, arid, unlike other riiacliihes, are not numbered or slotted, biit go together in any order. It is claimed that the “Melotte” .is the original arid only genuine Belgian separator of tlie hanging bowl type, and lias stood the test for over 31) years* arid is unequalled for durability, clean sklmriiing, quality and finish, and all-round value. .. . , •

Another lino shown, and one of particular interest to farmers, was Lawes’ “Kalyptos” paste dip. This dip imparts that heal tv blodiri to the sheep, which is so much appreciated by purchasers, either at home or in the,sale yards, with the result that its value, iri jconseqiieriee, cannot be over-esti-mated. The fact that ho dip iiiiprirts ri better bloom litis become well-known,' while as ii maggot preventative it is confidently clairiied to- bei unequalled. The dip is easily prepared by dissolving iri hot watei- the quantity refcgiired, and tlieii adding cold water, tlie softest readily procurable, to. make up the batli to the necessary, proportions. A riieiribef. of . the Waiiriate staff of the National Mortgage was in attendance at the ferity explaining in full the values of the lirids- offered by his firm.

... y A FORD EXHIBIT.

~ ; ii. A. CALLENDER.

\ ;The handy, compact size of .flic Ford; t{ie susceptibility ot its steering wheel to the slightest touch, aii absence of bothersome levers, and a. reasonable price liave combined to tmajcb it the most popular eari'iu ;the .world. .JVlaity •visitors to Mr CfiUericler’s perhaps did hot I'Mlisb”"thtSt sterling . value: of these cars, must have felt Agreeably surprised oti examining-a dvaiidsdme three-beater Ford" with ' 4 Clplonial body .find - painted in jnaroon. ‘The wo'rkiitansHip or the body., , the up.liolst&fing,’ afid lit'fact the general arrangements, created great admiration. othing iii the engine world is better 'known, add for downright, honest reliability, better respected than the Ford engine. A runabout and a toursing standard model were also on the stand, and were given the once over by discriminating visitors. The popular ope-toh' Truck was in,, evidence, and- is too well known to require description. Farmers were greatly interested in a h'bfdson tractor, which has come into vogue in recent years. The tractor is designed as a two-plough machine, and ■vvill piill two 14hieh .ploughs under ordiiiiiry conditions. It will maintain a drawbar pull of 3 SOO pounds at pliuiglt; 3l ing speed, while in, low go ait a drawbar puli of 2501) pounds is obtained. The fuel consumption ' vafieS''with, conditions, two and a half gallons : of kerosene being a fail- average. Tlie amount of grbund ploughed also depends pn conditions; six to eight acres in ten hours would strike an average. . The engine contains four cylinders, with removable cylinder heads, and develops twenty liorse-power when running at 1000 revolutions per mituite, aiicP using kerosene. The absence of aiiy frame gives accessibility to all parts for making adjustments, or repairs, and allotvs the tractor to bo taken apart in a few minutes. The Craig patent plough attachment with 15-inch skeith, of crucible steel, numerous Ford and Fordson spares, and a cut away displaying the working parts, were also exhibited. The Ford stand was well patronised and Mr Callender and his staff were kept busv answering inquiries throughout the'dav. Tin's enterprising firm employs a staff of skilled mechanics, and extends an invitation to. all carowners to inspect Hieir up-to-date workshop in High Street.

buick cars. Considerable interest was displayed in the stand occupied by the \\ annate Motor. Oarage. Amongst a group oi magnificently constructed ft* l , luxuiiousTy upholstered cars, stood the less standard 15nick Six, and a splendid I v equipped dash hoard containing every conceivable aid to the driver, together with adjustable seats an ideal steering apparatus, were limioft features in ilie innovations of this stipe i b car In addition to the standard model Hoicks, and occupying a prominent position, was a 1 2 horse-power ■Vustin, the latest English - product,m the li'dit car lino. It contains \tw<? movoaide front seats with two neatly, 'arranged children’s seats immediately behind, and two dickey seats at the back designed to comfortably carry tivS acinit passengers. '• It is also fitted' with a luggage carrier of the latest style. The electric lighting ami .selfstarting equipment are. all that could bo desired, but probably the most admired was the pretty blue with black facings in which the car was painted, aild the upholstery, crocodile leather, whicli- admirably harmonised' with the colour of the . hotly. Mr Geo. Sadler, .proprietor of tire. Waipialp Garage, .informed a “Herald” representative that lie'' had effected . a .ssflo of this car, wiiit li is--priced’' at’’£'l95 l on the ground.

J H. M. STOHYER. J EOR EALLM REQUISITES. [ A stand of considerable interest To 1 farmers, and more partieulaily to dairy farmers, was that of Mr H. •M. StoTi- , yer, laud and machinery agent, Ar- : ciicie, Tiinaru. Uno ot tlie principal lectures ot the stand, amt a feature that could hardly fait to attract tlie attention of dairy larmyrs, were several high class separators bearing the well-known brand ot tlie. Wolseiey firm. , Typically British m -onstruetioii and design, special attention is given in' the turning out ntythis separator -re the manufacturing of the bowl."Al.ri'Tfid : ; design and construction ot the bowl—tlie most important part di a sepiuator —exceptional oafri" has b<Jeii t-tikeu to embody simplicity arid efficiency with tlie minimum uiniiber of parts, The Wolseiey bowl .‘consists ,of top and bottom l halves, ii liickuig ring, .pd.wl. « centre, and a number of aluminium discs, according to tlie capacity ot mo . bowl. fii ;the manufaet tire of the parts...

A big advantage is that all griiirs can be assembled in four opera- ( tions.

Lu- . brication is effected by means of a splash, feed, the necessary pai;ts 'being' oiled direct. Throughout the day liumerous visitors to tlie stand tried tlie action of the machine, and were loud iri theii- pfitise df tlie, sileiit ,afi&- easy running action of the'mechanism. An exhibit of Wizard light proved an interesting adjunct to .the, stand, arid caiiic in for a fair share of atteu- ; tion. It was the consensus df opinion that the plant would prove a vaiuablo . acquisition to any hoinia.
