MASTERTON SHOW.

[•' TWENTY-FOURTH GATHERING. L- , 'SPLENDID. FAT, STOCK. , j • FIRST. FUNCTION -ON SOLWAY . ; f , /' ' GROUND.'. r _ . . .. ■ ■ ..„.- |" ' (By Our Special Reporter.) .. . \ , .Yesterday tho Masterton Agricultural j. and Pastoral Association held its twonfyi , fourth show, which was the first of ; the f number tq bo held on the new ground at \ .Solway. v Solway is a couplo of miles [from Masterton, and its previous owners Swore, thoughtful enough to spare. from , tho axo : an area oi about ten - acres of i 'native bush. \That bush now forms a (-.border deforest to the most up-to-dato ,'show jround in tho Dominion. Through it tho public' enter tho ground. Thero j. an) no asphalt footpaths, no dusty .roads, ( and air dust-laden U>y whizzing vehicles; Shut cool, relreshins tracks through tho quiet and restful remnant oi a lorest. . Tho appointments of tho new ground , were planned by Mr. J. M. Johnston, ot | I'almerston North, who has raaoc a study i. of such'matters lor a considerable time. \ Tho association has done its work well; j "permanent" seems to bo written, on every; erection. Tho office* -are good, [ thoro is a large produco hall, a vcry-fino i grandstand, and. underneath tho grand-: \ 'Stand two; luncheon rooms. In, the "stove-. [ aids' lunihoon'roiim tho .system 'Of ■ long j tables has been departed irom, and small ! tables aro in use.- Tho 6mall table sys T ( tem is,-of course, much tho nicer. The - best of all,'however,, was .the [ cohering of many of tho stock pens. '■ This • year, as Tub Dominion* ; stated j . yctonlay.. thero aro record entries, tbero { is beautiful, weather, 1 the quality.of tho I stock lis, excellent, so tho chief ' thing \, wanted now is n . record attendance. ! Everything the association -thought of. j has boon .done for,\tho;'publjo. pleajsu'ro,, [ and comfort,'and a "great crowd is in every way well deserved. This show is [ probably the last for which Mr. G. R. ( bvkes will labour as secretary. This is i Mr. Sykcs's seventh year of 'secretary-. * ship, and ho now intends to resign and i enter the field of politics. As a whole, tho show- is tho greatest'in tho association's history: several elements I ha\o combined ! and mado so. It is rtrongcst,«as must bo expected with an autumn show, with its fat stock,which;' in all their divisions, form'a magnificent- .„ collection, i Last year's Masterton show was ratten down as'providing the finest fat stcck display ever, seen in New Zealand. Does this year's equal lasf year's? Many asked themselves and others that question yesterday, and tho answering provides problem. Last year's fat divisions-wore to good that thero.was no chance of any improvement this year 1 being otherwise, than, slight. Tho-Judges were :—Lincolris, • Mr.' G.
