Judging at the Waikato Agricultural V and Pastoral Association's Summer Show yesterday was carried on under the greatest difllculties. During the morning a continuous downpour induced judges and officials to beat a hasty retreat for shelter and champion stock had to be returned to the stalls. In spite of these drawbacks judging in nearly all classes of the Friesian and • Shorthorn cattle was completed while fair headway was made with the Jerseys, of which some long lists of entries are catalogued. The senior yearling heifer class in this breed is particularly impressive, having attracted no fewer than 23 entries. Considerable progress was also made with the sheep judging and adjudication in the pig pens was completed. Situated in the centre of the grounds, the show officials and exhibitors in the horse classes probably felt the hampering effects of the weather more than anyone. Here there was no shelter but the competitions proceeded smoothly, some magnificent horseflesh passing before the judge. Fine spells intervened during the afternoon, giving the public an opportunity to view the exhibits although the ground was very damp underfoot. Side-shows sprang up like mushrooms, their size and the variety of their attractions ouliivallihg ihose of recent years. THE PRIZE LIST.

The weather unfortunately to-day was stormy, which deterred many people, especially from the country districts, who otherwise would have journeyed in, from doing so. Nevertheless, there was a big crowh -in attendance, and the stands were well filled during the equestrian events. The ground was rather greasy, which militated against the best display, but some superb horsemanship was shown. The Dominion Jumping Contest attracted large entries, and drew repeated applause from the throng which witnessed it. The Grand Parade was a great sight. In the ring at' the one time w'ere gathered all the prize .stock and pride of the district. As the animals circled round they were the admiration of all present with a knowledge of stock and a wonder to the layman.

An event watched with considerable interest were the two trotting races for which there were, respectively nine and 12 entries. No official times were taken to stand against the runners for future handicapping, and the consequence was that horses and riders extended themselves, and put up a very fast show’ in view of the greasy nature of the ground.

“BEST IN TKE WORLD.” FAT LAMB ENTRIES. “I have no hesitation in saying that this class must he the best in the world,” commented Mr W. Marks, of Auckland, who had the difficult task I Continued m next column.)

of judging the fat lamb entries. Fortyentries were on the schedule, and of these 39 were -penned. This was a record of which 'the Waikato could he justly proud. Out of the 39, Mr Marks stated that he could have picked 20 firsts. They were a credit, not only to the Waikato, but to the whole of New Zealand. Most of the fat lambs for export were crossbreds from Southdowns. The group section in the fat lambs exhibits —an innovation so far as the Waikato Show is concerned —hag been proved to be a highly successful experiment. The judge, Mr Alec Orr, of Papatoetoe, said the section added greatly to the prestige of the Show, and judging in the two north groups was particularly difficult. In some pens the rams were on the heavy side. Mr Orr suggested that this section would create greater interest if in the future a prize was presented for the best pen in all four groups.

SHOW CHAT. The Association was indeed unfortunate in striking unfavourable weather for the show this year. It affected the attendance from town and district. It was noticeable that the trains arriving at headquarters during the morning from the various outside centres were not so well patronised as is usually the case. The answer is in the fact that the wet spell has been general and travelling has not the attraction under such circumstances that the smile of the sunny day provides.

One of the attractions at the annual display at local headquarters is the Dominion jumping competition. The Association and those who gave direct support to this event by providing prize money, are deserving of congratulation on their encouraging steps. The competition invariably attracts a good Held of jumpers and the results shown in this connection on the latest occasion thoroughly warranted the plaudits the crow'd extended to them.

The very heavy programme that is attached to the work carried out by the stewards in the various classes of show control may not come to the direct attention of the public. The inclement weather experienced on the latest occasion added to the exacting tasks of these honorary officials but they “ carried on ” in the most cheery manner. It is pleasing to find the Association’s call in this connection being so well responded to each year. The gentlemen who freely accept the various appointments are deserving of all praise and have satisfaction in the knowledge that they have provided their part in helping on the valued wmrk of the Association.

“ You have Indeed a great show,” was the summing-up of a South Island farmer to a pressman to-day. “ This is the first time 1 have had a look in at your exhibition and I can assure you that although I have come a long way I have been well repaid.” This man of the land from Otago said that he was particularly impressed with the dairy stock while the light horse section was another to win an extra measure of praise from the visitor. “ Your Association has been very unfortunate with the weather and I feel sure that the people of your rich agricultural district will readily provide the financial fillip if such a call should be made," he added.

Heavy showers again interfered with y the stock judging at the show this morning, while conditions were also made trying for competitors in the jumping events.

Many show' visitors are congregated around the stand of the Radio House, where a programme cf music is being reoeived from Hamilton's new wiroless broadcasting station, 1 FP. Reception is very clear and much interest is being shown in the demonstration.

The sight of a brown setter dog perched precariously on a big draught horse caused great amusement at the Show' yesterday. The canine proved to be a trick rider who will be seen in a thrilling race later to-day.

Lady's voice on the telephone! “Ask my husband to give me a ring, will you?” The facetious Show' official: “Hi gave you one before, didn’t he?" “Qh. no."
