A. AND P. SHOWS.

ELLESMERE. T!i» Ellesmcrc A. and I*. Association's show possesses ni'irc than an ordinary interest on arcount of it being the first of the season's functions, not only in the province, but in tho Lland. Opening the ball, as it were, the c-.xhibit.* prov.de a line as to the quality of Moil: liki-Iy to be forthcoming from North t'at.t-rbury for th* metropolitan show later i/.-i. .-toik c.wubjteil at Ellesrnere, as a rule, a'-liicvi; more than average distinction at the major gathering, and it is certain that in the three main sections of sheep, cattle, gnd horses, yesterday's winners will compete v ith credit three weeks' hence r.t the Royal. The Association was founded back in ltfTO, nnd during the 57 years of it 3 existence it has steadily progressed, having been no insignificant factor in advancing the reputation of the district for the hiirh class of various breed" of stock raised within its bounds. Jn the matter of Shorthorn cattle, draughthorses. Jersey cattle, and Berkshire pigs, the district has occupied a dominant positiou in the stock breed history of the Dominion. Yesterday's event was fully up to its predecessors in the matter of stock quality. Tho season, though somewhat later than u.-ual, was not reflected to much extent in this respect except in some sections of sheep and young cattle. In the more important »ections there was an appreciable increase in ♦ iitrii'.-.. Sheep numbered 199, as against IGG last year, draught horses 67, as against 67, nnd cattle about the same —G7 and GG. Threatening?, of an unpleasant day, which ».'.-rc rather pronounced in the morning, were dispelled before mid-day, and ideal conditions were enjoyed. As a result visitors from mrrounding districts, besides local people, attended in good numbers, and the "gate," lift'!, was practically up to the standard of the best of recenl years. The EUesmere Show is always well "run." Stewards and officials generally see that the judging is not held up, and this year's gathering, under the presidency of Mr R. T. McMillan, and with Mr 11. Neave as secretary, was conducted with the usual efficiency. Coming to the various sections of the purebred sheep classes provided a notnbly good display. Though competition in th'! Leicester classes was not keen, the best breeders wore represented, Messrs It. J. Low and S. G. Lemon (in Borders), and W. Lethnm and It. and J. Reid (in English) securing notable biicccscs. The two strong sections of the sheep division, however, were Kouthdowns and Kyelands. In the former competition was very keen between Lincoln College, A. W. Adams, J. Mcßeau, Jos. Brooks, nnd W. and A. Campion. In tho Rj eland section Jno. Brooks and T. A. Stephens were responsible for a display that would be difficult to excel at tho metropolitan shows. W. Letham and It. and J. Reid were the prizewinners in the Corriedale section, the competition in which was limited. Though the fat sheep classes drew- meagre competition, the quality was notable. This, however, could not bo said in respect of the fat lambs. As a rule the spring lambs at Kilcsmcro are outstanding, but yesterday they Mould scarcely have topped the sale at Addington market. Tho reduction of the liveweight to 721b may have been a contributing caune. The beef section of Shorthorn cattle, the milking classes of the same breed, the Jerg«vn, and the Fricsinns. drew fair competition, but quality was invariably good. The fstate of tho late W. B. Cunningham figured prominently in the Shorthorn section, W. Bowis nnd Gordon Jones in the milkiDg, nnd F. Crump and J. Stalker in the Fricsinns. In actual entries as well as quality, the draught horse, display was bettor than last year. Some of tho younger stuff was very ordinary, but the older Clydesdale classes rontained 6orae outstanding cxihibts. Mr H. McLenaghen's Ringleader, now seven years old, has developed into a. stallion of great Mibstanco and quality, and was awarded the championship. Of equal merit in her section was H. E. Cook's mare Mabel, a free-moving substantial roomy typo that will take beating in higher circles. Other prominent exhibitors in the Clydesdale section were Scott's Estate, J. Boag, C. Thomas, J. Patrick, and R. Oakley. , ~ . \s a rule the best of the province s light horses saddlo up for the Ellesrnere Show, and yeatcrday was no exception to tho rule. Such well-known exhibitors as Miss I. Rutherford. D. W. Westenra, D. Gillanders, A Ward-Smith, and W. J. Doyle, were to tho fore, and there was keen competition between the three first-named. Miss Rutherford took the saddlo horse championship with The Tatler, a last year's South Island champion. Mr Westenra s'cored in the classes for lady s hack and heavy roadster, and Mr Gillanders secured two of tho three events in the hunter classes with Captain Murphy and Miss Rutherford the third one. The subsidiary classes were well patronised, the poultry section being a particularly good one. Grain and seeds were also better is the prize list, tho figures within parentheses indicating the number ot entries in the class: — SHEEP.
