A Wonderful Success

>■ 'Strong' Horse Seel ion. A feature of the show was the exceedingly strong horse section., which Avon the warmest praise of the judge,, Mr W. C. Wallace, who •stated that the draughts were equal to any he had seen anywhere. The light classes were also strong, the tops in all competitions being of a particularly pleasing type. According to Mr J. G. Potts who judged them the ring events found a very even class which made the placing most difficult. The pony classes 'were not as numerous as in the past but supplied keen competition.

Cattle Classes Down. In practically all the cattle, classes, with perhaps the exception of the pig section, entries were down considerably. This was anticipated to some extent by the association, members of which were fully conversant with the labour difficulties /confronting farmers at the present 'time. The standard however was particularly good and in the words •of one judge, the farmers who exhibited are to be complimented on the really fl*ne animals which were •.on display.

In the Shed. The lady stewards in the home industrial and shed exhibits had n busy time of it in the morning when the judging took place following the general layout of the "benches. Here the classes though 'on the whole somewhat small, revealed an excellent standard. The children's section created 'even more interest than in the past -while the horticultural department also brought many visitors to the -■shed. The Grand Parade. The highlight of the day was the "grand parade which took place at 2.30 p.m. The prize winning animals made a striking display as they circled the ring. The. public were kept well informed by the Tunning commentary which _ was kept by the announcer, Mr Wal Howard of Waitoa, whose knowledge of pedigree animals and fine descriptive ability added greatly to the interest of the event. The calf club section proved to be most .popular with the onlr»o!<ers.

Complimentary. In complimenting the A. and P. Association on its signal success it is fit antl proper to single out the President, Mr R. Ruddiclc, for his untiring work both in promoting and running the show, and the hard-working secretary, Mr Gordon ] Kent, who in spite of all difficulties has managed to stage a show of * -which this district may weii be proud. To the small army of stewards, officials and workers whose *nbined efforts made the day what Avas, the public can only extend best congratulations, together with an expression of the hope that they Avill continue to display the same loyal interest in the shoAV as they have done in the past.

CENTENNIAL SHOW FIXTURE WHAKATANE AND RANGITAIKI ASSOCIATION FIVE THOUSAND DISTRICT PATRONS In spite of the petrol restrictions, which it was feared might seriously interfere with the success of the Whakatane and Rangitaiki A. and P. Association's Centennial Show, the five thousand and odd persons who went to make up yesterday's crowd at the grounds comprised one of the finest musters in the Association's history. The gate takings totalled £230, which for a one-day show can be considered very satisfactory. Though this figure fails to reach last year's record, the executive considers it most gratifying under the circumstances. The show itself was favoured with ideal weather conditions, and the popular ring classes, the coloured grand parade, and the splendid trades display all went to make the event one which will be long remembered by all who attended
