CARTERTON SHOW.

FIRST DAY

(Special Reporter). Tbe Wairarapa and East Coast P. and A. Society's annual Show was opened r yesterday. A drizzling rain fell in the morning, but tbe weather cleared up in the afternoon. The judging was finished in good time. Since last year the membership of the Society has increased from 489 to 546. The tufcal mount received in cash donations this year amounted to £502 5s 6d. An amateur judging competition in Romney Marsh sheep was hold yesterday, and resulted in Mr H. R. Cornford securing the first prize, and Mr J. A. Welch the second prize. Mr H. A. Moss, the Society's popular secretary, bad all arrangements complete for the Show, and he wat ably assisted by the Stewards. The entries recaivod total 1,516, ho increase cf 193 on lust year. This is a record for the Society. In 1896, 1,478 entries were received, and this was the record until eclipsed this year. As showing the progress the, Soosety has made it may be mentioned that at its first Show there were only 389 entries. The entries in cattle, sheep and borsrq show a falling off this year. A substantial inoreaße is shown in the poultry exhibits, and the machinery and vehicles. Tbe machinery exhibits total 250. Tbe Society has spared no effort in providing for the comfort of tne stock at the Show. The pen accommodation has' been considerably enlarged. Paddocks were provided for animals that arrived tefore;the opening of tbe Show. An abundance of I straw and good feed is also provided on tbe grounds. SHEEP. There is a decrease of 27 on the uumberof sheep this year, as compared with last. The exhibits were very good all through, and pleased the judges. There was keen competition in Linoolns, the principal exhibitors being Messrs W. Perry, W. C. Buohanan, W. Rayner, and Jas. Collins. Eaoh olasji was well filled aod the judge had considerable difficulty in awarding the prizes. Mr W. Perry secured tbe championship for one ram over 18 months and under 30 rconthß. He hlbo oarried off the ohampionsbip in the olass for one ewe over 30 months with lamb at foot. The same exhibitor was awarded first prize in all the othor olaeses in this creed. Competition was not so keen in the Leicester classes. In the Borders, Mr W. Howard Booth secured the championship in the class for tbe be9t ram over 30 months. Mr G. Servers, of Clareville, carried off all the other prizes in this breed, including the championship for the best ewe over 18 mouths and under 30 months with lamb at foot. Mr W. Perry secured the bulk of the prizes in the English Leicester olass, including the ohampionsbip for the best ram over 30 months. Tbe champion ewe over 30 months with lamb at foot was exhibited by Mr S. R. Lancaster. Sonthdowns were strongly represented. The judge oommented very favourably on the olaas as a whole—especially the n«ms. The prize-winners in this division were Messrs W. Howard Booth, S. R. Lancaster and J. McGregor. Mr W. Rayner oarried/off the bulk of the prizes in Shropshire Downs with some very good animals. In conversation with a Wairarapa Age reporter the judgo, Mr A. Moore, of johnsonville, stated that the quality of the fat sheep varied from good to excellent. "Some of tbe sheep shown," said the judge, "could not be beaten in any show in New Zealand." The lambs were also a really good lot. The heavy olass of sheep were exceptionally weighty, but they were ooly useful for boiling down purposes. Competition was also very been in the Romney Marsh classes. The sheep were no exceptionally good lot .throughout. A fine ram bred and exhibited by Gray Bros, won the championship in the class "over 18 and under 30 months," while Mr T. P. Allen's ewe seoured the championship for tbe best ewe over 30 mouths, with lamb at foot.

CATTLE. There were 149 exhibits in cattle, as compared with 161 last year. Taken all through' the animals were a good lot. Shorthurns generally were not well represented, and the judge, Mr J. Gordon, of Waikato, described them as "weak in numbers and quality." Speaking of the Grade Shorthorps Mr Gordon said they were a splendid lot, and as good as any he had seen. Mr W. C. Buchanan secured the obampionship in the bulls, and the Trustees of the late D. MoMaster's Estate won the obampiousbip in the cows. The majority of the fat cattle were of excellent quality, but a few were on the heavy side. The Mr A. Moore, of Johnsonville, found the fat cows an exceptionally bard class vto judge. They were a splendid lot. With regard to the fat builocks, Mr Moore said that there was not a bad one among them. The Hou. T. Y. Duncan, M.H.R., was the judge in *tfae Ayrshire cattle, and he de seribei them as a fairly moderate lot. Mr 0. Morgan's Sultan was the champion bull, and the s ; \me breeder's Pearl the champion cow. There was not much competition in the Jersey class, nevertheless the animals that were exhibited were of good quality. The champion bull in this class was Mr A. Eddie's Duke of Fife, and the ohampiofl oow Mr E. Eagle's (junr) Bilbery 111. Messrs MoKenzie and Lovelock were the only exhibitors in Holstein-Friesians, and they secured the championships for the bull and oow.

HORSES. The entries in horses showed a deorease of five on last year. Only a few of the horses were judged yesterday. There was very little competition in thoroughbreds, yesterday, only five animals being exhibited. No stallions came forward. ihe champion mare was Mr R. Tilson's Mergansor. Messrs W. Abbott and K. Oooper were the other prizewinners. COMPETITIONS. The six competitions held during the afternoon were keenly contested, and proved interesting spectators.
