JUDGES' AWARDS AT CAMBRIDGE SHOW.

29th Annual Exhibition.

Good Display, of Horses. Fewer Cattle this Year. Record Home Industry Entries Favoured with typical autumn weather the Waikato Central Agricultural Association’s twenty-ninth annual show opened at the showgrounds yesterday, and is be Jig continued to-day. The association is to lie commended for continuing the annual fixture this year in the face of the prevailing depressing commercial conditions. It is an 'indication of a faith in the district that has not faltered during the 29 years’ existence of the show. When allowance is made for the fact that the show is being, held towards the close of one of the hardest seasons farmers generally have experienced over the period of depression, the support accorded the fixture must be regarded as satisfactory. It is not to be wondered at that cattle entries are down a little. However, the quality of the stock shown is fully up to the standard set in late yeans. In the hotlse sections entries are also not quite up to last year, Tmt the thoroughbreds, hacks and hunters seen out yesterday and to take part in to-day’s events, represent the flower'of Waikato’s horseflesh. • ' Indicating that with the keener lining conditions to-day householders are paying greater attenti 011 to home gardens and home industry is the record entries in these, departments of the show. The home industry display 'ls, as awh °le» ° ne of the best yet seen at a Cambridge Show. The record ent riss a l 3o indicate the desire of the rank and file of the people to supP° rt their local ' fixture. With a continuance of the fine weather to-day there should be a representative attendance and the financial aspect should be quite a satisfactory one.

JUDGES’ COMMENTS Towards the close of the judging the president Mr Fisher, extended a hearty welcome to the judges, and at his request the respective judges addressed & large number directly interested in the cattle classes. Among the Horses. The judge of the hacks and hunters, Mr G. W. McKenzie, of Bulls, said the sections produced some very nicer horses. The competition was keen and the representation was very creditable and equal to anything he had seen in y : shows in the lower portion of the y land. The list, hacks were particularly good and the winner, Mr G. M. Ranstead’s Arapae, would do erodit to any S show.’ Referring to the heavy-weight- r hunter class Mr McKenzie said the veteran winner, El Arish, put in exceptionally good work, and despite his age, would still do credit to any Dominion show. In the light-weight hunter class the whole entry was of a very fair order, though there was nothing really outstanding. In the hunter class, judged on type, but not jumped, the competition was very keen, the three placed horses being chestnuts, They were very close up in points. N „ Cooking and Preserves.

Mr Frank Kindley, judge of the cooking and preserves, said it was a splendid collection as a whole with the quality good. The pound cake and sponges classes wore exceptionally good. He was impressed with the exhibits of the sponge class for girls under 14. The first and second prizes could take their place in any show. The Fresian judge, Mr Jas. Hart, of Morvinsvillc, said he was rather disappointed that, more entries had not come forward. If Friesian breeders would only concentrate on showing one or two animals it would help generally. However, in the classes were some very good cattle and the champion and reserve champion exhibits were true to typo and quite up to the quality seen at other shows this year. Mr R. F. Wilkinson, of Pukekoho, judge of the Jersey section, also said he was disappointed at "the number of entries. He had quite expected bigger fields. However, some excellent cattle lmd been brought into the ring and he was impressed with the absence of the

undesirable tail end in classes at some shows. The quality was good throughout. The yearling class was an exceptionally hoe ° ne * Wilkinson expressed the difficulty of judging ycarJiug and calf classes, for the reason that yonng animals changed so quickly in development. The fiuture of a yearling depended much upon udder development. He liked to see teats well placed.

Mr das. McLinden (Massey College, Palmerston North), judge of the Ayrshires, said in the aged cow class there were three very nice animals brought forward rather distinct in type. The preference was given to Wallace's Third Part Ha Jewel (the champion). X -very nice cow, but unfortunately she ivas in rather poor show condition. One ■could not help but notice the nice even balance throughout, Showed a very nice vessel without any sign of quartering and with a fine quality handling teat and well placed. The second placed animal was an attractive cow, that ■taught the eye very much quicker through good show condition. Very nicely balanced, though different type to the first-placed exhibit. The objection was the position of her two hind teats, being rather close together, and to the feel did not finish off so nicely at the end of the teat.. In the heifers there was a very nice three-year-old in Third Part Ha Jewess. She showed superior finish in the head, and nicely uddered. In the two-year-olds the first placed animal showed quality and was an attractive exhibit but could have been a little better finished in the back vessel.

The yearling heifers saw eight entries and the first placed animal was a aeally good exhibit. At her age she showed wonderful udder development. The second placed animal was considerably less developed in her udder. On the whole the class was quite an attractive one to come forward, but a little mixed in the types. In the heifer calves Mr Wallace had a nice entry with splendid udder development. Placed second was another from the same breeder, which handled better than the Jirrt placed exhibit, but was rather spoiled by its outline and full belly. The udder development was not so good. Among the bulls Mr Wallace’s Ivanhoe Boomerang was given championship honours. A very nice bull, being nicely balanced all over. Chas. Watt’s JKintocher Hector was the reserve fhaxupion. He barely showed the same balance and the refinement of the champion. In the yearling bulls the first placed was J. Watt•’«. A very fine youngster showing any amount of masculinity. He was followed by Wallace’s 'Third Part Ha Silver Crest VVwhich was a good second. Jn the judge’s, opinion quality of bone is a paramount necessity in all good grading stock and doubtless this influenced his judgment to a considerable extent in the day’s proceedings. The section was well brought out considering the hard season for dairy stock and the whole was an advance seen at the last few shows. Garden Produce and Roots. Jn connection with the garden produce and root section of the home industries department, the judge, Mr W. Houeybun, of Hamilton, said the vegetables were outstanding considering the dry season and were as good as anything he had recently seen. The onions and cabbages exhibited were exceptionally good, also the carrots. Pumpkins #md beans were also good classes. Entries of fruit were small, but the exMbits were of good quality. The judge said he was agreeably surprised at the good collections of vegetables. The roots were good all through, but the swedes were not very even in quality. Mangolds and carrots especially wore good for the time of the year. Mr Honeybun had a good word to say for the exhibits of maize and lucerne.

Needlework. The judge of the needlework section, Miss M. Noble, of Hamilton, said the section as a whole was of very high standard. In the nightdress and pyjamas classes a little more attention could have been paid to the scams. For the next show Miss Noble suggested the inclusion of handcraft sections, such as cane and leather work, pewter, brass an'd copper work, marquetry and poker work and any article of thrift, x ' SCHOOL WORK.

Judge’s Report. In his report on the section the judge (Mr Ziman) said: The entries were more numerous than usual and the standard of work was high. In several classes I feavc recommended the award of “high ly commended” certificates. Writing: The quality of the work was very good and it was by no moans easy to arrive at a decision. I have passed over several excellent specimens of handwriting showing decided charm and “character” in favour of more orthodox straight-forward writing as being more suitable to the ages of lhe children concerned. Correctness is tlie first requisite, character and individuality can come later. Several pupils were unfortunate in that they were probably given an incorrect version of the set piece to copy and were disqualified for using capital letters in the wrong places and in one hatch writing “never” for “ever.” It is a coincidence that the girls carried off all the prizes in this class except one. Map Drawing: In map drawing nothing can compensate for lack of accuracy and several well-finished pictures were passed over on this account. The work in Standard V. was particularly bad in this respect as a very large pro-

portion of the names given in the maps were spelt wrongly. However, the class contained a number of carefully drawn and neatly finished maps. Object Drawing: This was the best class, alriiost every exhibit being of h high order. The prize-winners had to be exceptionally good to win in such company. It is curious that by far the test cricket-bats were drawn by girls. I have no criticism, but only praise for this class. Colour Work: This showed careful tuition, painstaking -work and considerable artistic ability. In conventional designs meant to be symmetrical, care should be taken that the symmetry is carefully preserved. It was very difficult to arrive at a decision in the case of Standards 11. and 111. because bananas and apples vary so much when used as models. Two of the prize-winning bananas were outstanding. Pen and Ink Drawing: In this section some very fine work had to bo disqualified owing to an inadvertent breach of the conditions. The brush is not to bo used but all work clone with the pen alone. The three prize-winners produced excellent work and the whole of the exhibits showed artistic ability of a high order combined with careful and painstaking execution. The exhibitors are to be commended on their choice of subjects. SCHOOL GARDENS. Judge: Mr M. H. Dixon (Agricultural Instructor (Te Awamutu). The following are the results in the school gardens competition for silver cup awarded to best garden in Waikato Central district.
