W oured with excellent weather and » ,« of the largest, attendances that T -low has yet attracted, the twentyshow of the Banks Penin- . Airrieultnral and Pastoral AssociaNms held at the Awa-Iti Domain, tlOtt " .3 t :ttle Eiver, yesterday. «£. show was noteworthy lor the • if increases in the number of en•n many of the sections and m the tnM /total and for the fact that the ® T »« takings were the largest that there f 4 ' been for a number of years. Thia U the more notable when it is ** tmhpred that most of the country Coitions this year have shown a in l he attenl3ance £ g ures and t! The S g»te e takings were £205 14s od, „ compared with £193 at last year's d A2reat,deal of credit must bo given the president of the Association, Mr 4 K Macfarlane, the secretary, Mr W. Stanbary, the various members of tho onunittee, and honorary stewards and ather officials for tho conscientious burner in which they carried out their duties. Sheep Classes. The sheep sections showed a I'alling- „# in the number of entries as comJjred with last year's show, and no doobt the unusual weather conditions M d the backward nature of tho season lias had a great deal to do with the feline in the total entered. However, of those which were penned there was little fault to be found, and considerable interest was displayed in tho ■judging of the various classes. English Leieesters, Border Leieesters, Southdowns, and Byelands drew entries, but !hev were in most cases confined to veiy limited competition, and in the rase of the Komney Marsh breed thero Trere none entered. The classes for erossbreds provided excellent competition in all cases, and the judge's task was tyy no means an easy one. "W. H. Montgomery was the chief first-prizo winner, but V. Craw, Toby Robinson, and T. C. "Withell also carried off first tickets. Fat sheep and lambs were shown in splendid condition, and their classes attracted 28 entries. Some of the lamba were equal to any that have been seen it the various shows earlier this season. Horse Sections. There is no doubt that tho reputation at the Little Biver Show as an all-round exhibition of horses stands very high, and the show this year fully maintained that reputation. Besides a large entry J :rom districts on the Peninsula, there were exhibitors present from many dis- I triets on the Plains, and this heightened I the keenness of the competitions. The ! actual total of horses entered this year j was within two of last year's and was i equally as representative. The weakest section was that for draught horses, and even, in that there was no paucity of entries. The prizes, too, were fairly evenly distributed among tho breeders exhibiting. The entire championship ■was won by C. B. Thomas, and that for the filly by Sir B. Heaton Bhodes's Otahuna Lady Cran, a nice two-year-old that should furnish with age. W. H. Boyle, of Templeton, a well-known oinhibitor at country shows, secured a fine run of successes. Besides securing the entire championship he was first in six other classes and second in three. I. Mawaon, Gilbert iCcLachlan, P. V. Bailey, and J. J. Flynn each secured one 6rst prize, and that is some-indica- I tion of the keenness of the competition ! thrpngbouL .

Three classes for military horses atVntted ten entries, and some fine ani""fo were paraded before the judge. Tin feature of the show, however, tu the splendid entries in the sections iff light horses, cobs and ponies, and Mtneßß horses. The. first-named section a one of the best that is seen at any taow outside of the Metropolitan durJW 'i® and some indication of it ß i classes is given "by »tit fact that in the light horse classes jwBiSA there was a total of 106 entries. Eat is an exhibition of which the Btoks Peninsula Association may well f«l proud.

was quite keen competition. Crossbred dairy cattle was another well-repre-sented section. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the fat cattle exhibits, but it certainly is commendable that this Show should secure such a satisfactory number of entries each year. It is this section that has so fallen, off at the Metropolitan Show in Christchurch, and is in danger of being removed from the schedule, unless there is more support forthcoming, and ir. would be a pity if the breeders of Banks Peninsula failed to recognise the value of exhibitions from this branch of farm production. At this Show the only breeders exhibiting wore J. O. Coop the Kinloch Estate, F. G. Stanbury, ana Percy Moore. A very interesting section, although it drew only, one entry, was that for working bullocks. C. R. Ferguson had his team on the ground, and throughout the day he gave exhibitions of driving and hauling. A great deal of interest was displayed in tho exhibition. There are not many Shows in the South Island at which this feature is still to be seen. Domestic Produce. There was a similar number of entries in the domestic produce section, as there was at the last Show, and there was certainly no falling-oil in the general quality. The division included many interesting sections for adults, and those under 21 years of age, and the tent containing the exhibits was a centre of attraction throughout the day. riower Show. One of the features of this Show, too, is tho annual flower display, which occupies a very large space, and attracts entries from most of tho dis tricts which the Association represents. There are innumerable varieties provided for in the schedule and in practically every case there was a good entry and close competition. The results were: — SHEEP. ENGLISH LEICEBTEE.
