WAIMARINO SHOW

A CREDITABLE DISPLAY IMPROVEMENT IN CATTLE SECTION. The sixteenth annual show of the Waimarino Agricultural, Pastoral and Waimarino Agricultural, Pastoral, tion was held on Thursday on the showground, Kaetihi. Heavy rain falling throughout the previous night, the unpromising appearance of the weather on the morning of the show very much militated against the attendance of people from a distance and had its efxect on the exhibits, particularly on those in the horticultural section. Much credit is due to the president, Mr. T. E. McLean, and the energetic committee, the stewards in the various sections and the capable secretary, Mr. W. G. McLeod, for the manner in which all arrangements were carried out. The thanks of the Association are extended to the following judges who so kindly gave their assistance: —Romney sheep, Mr. W. H. Hensen; Lincoln and Miscellaneous, Mr. R. Bremner; fac sheep, Mr. A. bymes; fat cattle, Mr. K. Heighten; dairy cattle, Mr. H. J. Marchant; other cattle, Mr. 1). Boss; light horses and competitions, Mr. J. Bryce; draught horses and pony competitions, M_r. I. E. Jefferson; pigs, Mr. W. Coleman; poultry, Mr. Thomson; dogs, Mr. F. King; art and photography, Mrs. Boyd; schoolwork, Mrs. It. Jennings; vegetables, fruit and held roots, Mr. A. Gibson; horticulture, Mr. B. K. Just; butter, eggs, etc., Mr. T. Atkinson; jam, pickles and cookery, Mrs. Fetzer. In the cattle section it is pleasing to note an improvement in the quality of the exhibits from year to year, and some credit must be given to progressive policy of the Kaetihi Dairy Company in supplying and in assisting farmers towards the purchase of pedigree bulls of good milking strains. vVhilst the exhibits in the produce hall were, in the vegetable section more particularly, not as numerous as usual, the quality was maintained. Much good work was on exhibition in the schoolchildren’s section and in the industrial section generally. The following is the prize list:
