THE SHOW.
TE AWAMUTU'S EIGHTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION.
"BETTER THAN EVER."
WONDERFUL DISPLAY OF STOCK AND PRODUCE. v ATTRACTIVE COMPETITIONS AND LARGE ATTENDANCE.
Each year Te Awamutu Agricultural, Pastoral, and Horticultural Association experiences a successful show, and the one which eventuated on Wednesday afternoon at Albert Park was in every respect worthy of the Association and of the district, for there was a large attendance of the public, including good representation from every part of the district and many of the centres up to thirty and forty miles away from Te Awamutu. The exhibition of horses, cattle, and sheep was of a distinctly high class, and included some of the best animals in Waikato.
The horses, draughts, hacks, hunters, and ponies were well mannered and of a good stamp, and the respective judges had difficulty in awarding the prizes. In the ring competitions there were good entries, and the honours were well earned, for the competition was stiff, animals and riders alike appearing to enter heartily into tm zest of competition. Among the cattle Ayrshires were not so well represented as one could wish, but the by Mr V. C. Pollard, who " swept the board," as the saying is, were of a good type. Both Shorthorn and Jerseys were numerous and high-class. In the Shorthorn section there were half a dozen mature bulls brought before the judge, and when the honours were finally awarded to Mr R. D. Duxfield's classy Red Pine Farm Gem 4th there was general satisfaction, for that animal had recently won the champion of champions award at the Franklin show. It was. no disgrace to the Waikeria Institute to gain second honours against such a fine specimen. The Waikeria bull was bred by Ranstead Bros, and purchased as a yearling for stud use at the Institute. Mr A. Fisher (Cambridge) also showed a very fine type of two-year-old bull, Pukerimu Ensign. In the female classes Mr G. D. Hall (Kio Kio) was well represented, and his mature cow, Glenbank Rose 2nd, was a fine animal. Several of the females in the junior classes will yet prove worthy ring competitors. The Jersey section was the one that attracted most interest, and there was strong competition in most of the classes, indicating that dairymen in Te Awamutu district and neighbourhood prefer this breed for butter-fat production under our climatic conditions. The champion Jersey bull Fairy Eminent Raleigh was a fine stamp of sirj, and he was much admired, as also were the minor place getters. Ku Ku Boss Owl, a young bull from Otorohanga, shows a good deal of quality and should develop into a first rater. The cows were also a splendid lot and the judge commented afterwards that the Waikato breeders appear to have many good Jerseys as any other district he has visited. The young stock gave promise of being worthy representatives of their breed. ihe Friesian classes were also stronger than usual, and here again good types of beasts were shown. The winners thoroughly deserved the honours gained, and Mr J. P. Kalaugher, secretary of the Friesian Association, expressed pleasure at the worthy representation. Sheep were in strong evidence, and never before has Te Awamutu show had such good representation. In the Romney Marsh section Messrs J. W. Benseman and Wilfred Johnstone were the chief exhibitors, and their exhibits were closely inspected, as also were the Southdowns, which were even more numerous than the Romneys, while it was noteworthy that, whereas there were only three exhibitors in the Romney classes, Southdowns were entered by eight different farmers. In the horticultural and home industries tent there was a creditable display, comprising a very wide range of subjects. Keen competition occurred in many of the classes, and the judges had "their work cut out" to make the awards. Needless to add, the general public frequented this section very freely, eagerly inspecting and commenting. There were quite a number of trade exhibits (motor cars and farm implements predominating, of course); while the übiquitous side-show men were much in evidence with a variety of attractions to keep the show patrons interested and amused. The management of the show was in capable hands, the president (Mr J. T. Johnson) and the secretary (Mr J. G. Wynyard) being particularly busy and efficient; and -they had wosfcny helpers. The stewards and the ring marshal (Mr S. A. Empson) kept the judges busy for several hours with a succession of classes, and there was little evidence of the delays between the class judging that is apparent at some shows. The grand parade was a spectacular event —even better than last year—and the public had a splendid view of the best arAals in the respective classes. V TE§T JUDGES.
