A. AND P. SHOWS.

COURTENAY. Patron: Mr Ja3.» Gough. President: Mr J. W. Belgrave, Vice-Presidents: Meesxs A. Robertson and J. H. Jarman. Hon. Treasurer: Mr H. McNao. Secretary: Mr G. T. Robertson.

The Conrtenay Agricultural and Pastoral Association held its annnal show at Kir wee yesterday, when there was a good attendance. The entries showed a slight increase over last year's total, sjieep, cattle, and miscellaneous exhibits being more numerous, but there was a falling-off in draught and light horses. A thunderstorm broke over the district about 1 p.m.-, and a nice rain fell for a couple of hours. The takings at the gate amounted to £47, or £1 less than last year. The Department of Agriculture made an interesting display of grain, grasses and seeds, also of lucerne from Otago and locally grown. The New Zealand Refrigerating Comnany and the Canterbury Frozen Meat Company were represented with stands containing specimens of their manufactures. The following table shows the number of entries under the several headings at - the-last-four Shows:— 1913. 1914.19i5! 1916.

Mr J. Sowden was the principal exhibitor of merinos, which were confined to one class of ewes with lambs. Mr J. Nixon had all the Border Leicester classes to himself, and showed some excellent quality sheep. Messrs R. and J. Reid, with specimens of their noted English Leicester flock, were the largest prize-takers, having only competition in two or three classes. Mr W. J. Jenkins also showed some good sheep, and won in pair of hoggets, and his pen of flock rain hoggets met with no competition. Except iu two classes, Mr D. Mulholland had no opposition, in Shropshires. 'Hie best competition in purebred sheep was in Southdowns, where Messrs J. J. (Jogan, Jarman Bros.. A. W. Adams, J. A. Adams, and VT. J. J&nkins wtert# the exhibitors. The bulk of the first awards went to Messrs W. J. Jonkins and Jarman Bros., and Mr A. W. Adams secured several second prizes. As. a whole tho Southdowns were an exceptionally good lot, and an improvement upon those seen at previous snows. There was also a fair entry of crossbreds, but in some classes there was no competition. The first awards went to Messrs A. Robertson, H. Roper, Jarman Bros., J. Sowden, H. McClclland, and D. Mulholland. It was remarkable at this show that there were only two pens of fat sheep shown, and these were for the special prizes offered by the two large freezing companies. Considering the -good fattening season and that the Courtenay district is noted for turning out fat . stock, tho abscncc of exhibits in this ' soction is all the more noteworthy. ; lliere was, however, a fair entry of fat . lambs, winch are usually a feature of this show. Messrs Jarman Bros, showed two nice pens of freezing sheep, the only ones in the show, and the chief fat lamb prizes went to these breeders, • and also to Messrs Beatty Bros, and i H. McClelland, and the winning lots in- • eluded somo very prime quality lambs. I There was a small mixed entry of cattle, and the best of tho purebreds were the Avrshires from the herd or Mr W. J. Jenkins and the Holsteins shown by Mr R. Colee. Tho latter breed is now making its appearance st all Canterbury shows. There was eood competition in tho dairv classes, in which Messrs W. J. Jenkins, l*hos, S. Innes, and E. Harris were most successful.

| Although the draught horses showed a falling-off in -ntrmbere, quality was well represented, especially by the entries from the stud of Mr E" E. Jenkins. Some good working draughts were also shown by Messrs J. rnd P. Clinton. Mr Aitkenbrae was the asly stallion shown, and ; he was awarded the championship I against Mr H. Peach's three-vear-ola ' colt Tipperary. Mr E. E. Jenkins was first and second in brood mares, and , first in gelding, any age, pair of horses, I team of three, and two-year-old fillies. ; Tho winner in the latter class. Pearl, ; bv Premier Pride, was awarded the ! championship in mares. Messrs J. and P.' Clinton were first in four-horse team, second in pairs and threes, and in gelding of anv age. Messrs F. and A. Addington showed the best three-year-old and yearling fillies, both daughters of the. champion Aitkenbrae. Mr N. Bailey showed the best spring dray horse. Hackneys, harness horses, cobs, and ponies made up some good classes, although the total of light horses was less than that of last year. Mr A.-H. Clark's brood, mare by Rothschild, who has a long unbroken show record, was first in her class in both the hackney and harness sections, and her daughter won. in the three-year-old class for harness horses. Mr A. E. Lanfidale-Huni'a Darkie, and

Roy Jackmnn's Bonnie Lad were the winning ponies. Mr W. H. Boag won in tlic ]4 stono hack class, and was also adjudged the best horse for counted infantry purposes. Mr A. Gillanders's Brushwood sc-orcd as an 11 stone hack, and as a lady's hack. Mis* A. G. Rich's Clinker being second in each of these classes. Clinker beat Mr J. H. Sclby's Clarence and four others in the hunters' class, and also won as a maiden hunter. Miss Janet E. Sporry showed a very nice gig horse, which won in his class. Mr G. A. Ridden showed the best pony in harness, and in a good class of horses for saddle and light harness, Mr A. Gillanders's Dundonald beat-'-Mr \V. A. Griffiths Smith's Sox and several others.

Pigs, -were represented by only three entries, but there was some competition in almost all the poultry classes, and 'there was a fair show of sheep dogs. The farm and garden produce classes attracted, as usual, largo entries from the ladies of the district, and tlie.ro was also keen competition in the children's exhibits of school work. PRIZE LIST.

The Show at Duvauehelle Bay, which, has been held annually for over a quarter of a century, was held on the ground adjoining the 6aleyards yesterday, in brilliantly fine weather, which was marred by a violent thunderstorm. There was an excellent attendance of residents from all parts of the Peninsula, and among those present was Colonel the Hon. R. H. Rhodes, M.P. The show was well up to the standard of the past few years, and although there was a slight decrease in the number of horses shown an increase in the cattle entries equalised matters. As is usually the case, the section for light horses was decidedly the strangest, only two or three lieavy horses being ringed. In the light division the classes generally were strong, the competition good, and the quality of the animals exhibited hisrh. The classes for cattle were fairly well patronised, and some excellent beasts were penned. The entries in the clas s for milch cows, two-year-old heifer in milk, and yearling heifers, were large, and some nice duality animals came before the judge. A very creditable display of home and garden produce, and flowers, was laid out in the hall. A number of young girls sold sweets,and button-holes on the ground in aid of the Red Cross Fund, and they apparently did good business. The officials worked hard to make the Show a success, and their efforts were •well rewarded, though the lateness of the arrival of several of the judges handicapped them rather severely. Recruiting sergeants were prominent on the ground, and about eight men entheir names being put up on a blackboard. PRIZE LIST. ' HORSES. Yearling hackney (4): A. M. Helps 1, G. E. Scott 2.
