A. AND P. SHOWS.

COURTENAY.

One of the old-established shows of I. the province is that of the Courtenay,, A. and P. Association, held: at Kirwee —the week following the Metropolitan Show as a rule. It is rather a pity it could not be held a week before, as it attracts entries in some sections that would very markedly improve the big Show if forward. The show, nevertheless, has been a great trainingground for very many vears for Metropolitan exhibitors, and a perusal of the prize-lists of both will show the. extent to which breeders in the Cour-tenay-Darfield-Sheffield districts compote, and with notable success as a rule, at the. big Christchurch function. Wednesday's Antarctic-like weather raised doubts in some quarters as to whether the show would be held yesterday. The morning broke rather drably, and no doiibt kept many intending visitors from venturing forth. However, beautiful weather set in about midday, and an enjoyable afternoon was spent by those present. The attendance, considering the circumstances, was very fair. . Entries .constituted a record for the Association, and although a few classes in various sections were not well patronised, competition, generally was good. The outstanding feature of the Courtenay slioav as a rule is, its fat sheep' and lambs, and yesterday's display was no exception to "the rule. It is a pity that the exhibitors -laanot be induced to go further afield. It is to be ; hoped that on the occasion of the. "Royal" at Christchurch next year, they will be so persuaded, for it would give a much needed filiip in that department of the big exhibition. The fat stock yesterday were outstanding. In the "breeding classes of sheep there was good competition in the merino section, Messrs A. W. and G. H. Adams and K. Murchison dividing honours. English Leicesters were most prominently exhibited by Messrs R. and J. Reid and C. H. Adams, whilst the only exhibitor in Borders was Mr R Colee, and in Romnevs Mr A. W. Adams. Corricdales and hnlfbreds were orincioallv exhibited bv Messrs R, and j. Keid, Mr H. Roper was the only exhibitor in Shronshires. Southdowns and English Leicesters provided the best quality sheep, and the comr>etition in the Down class between G. F. Hutton, A. W.- Adams, and J. A. Adams, was verv keen. . The outstanding section of the cattle were the Friesians, in Avhich the entries were large and the quality very highclass, but unfortunately there was very little comi>etition. Mr R. Colee providing 25 of" the 27. entries. Mr Colee's nerd is a good one, judging by the cattle forward yesterday. Mr W. J. Tenkins scored the bulk of the awards in beef Shorthorns, milking Shorthorns, and was. the only exhibitor in AvrshireF. One of the latter breed, exhibited by the "\Vaddington breeder, defeated eight oilier good ones, of various breeds, in the test «:ow class of the dsyST/ cattle section. Mi- H. Roper secured the bulk of the Jersey awards. Draught norses naturally made a .rood display in a district every farm in which has one big team of draughts, if not more/. Competition in some of the classes was very small, but" in others it was good. The most prominent nrize-taker'was Mr.M. E. Jenkins, but "both championships were taken by Mr E. E. Jenkins. The aged working weldings were a good lot. Mr D. McYinnie scoring. There was bright com-. , petition in the hackney classes, good rings, •parading. A surprise was provided by several metropolitan prize-takers bavin" to take minor places. The display I 0 f saddle, and to a lesser extent, har-

ness horses, was • distinctly good, but the competition was poor in the hunter ■section. The show, under,the guidance of Mr K. Murchison (president), was wellconducted, the judging being put through expeditiously.
