AWARDS IN THE LIVE STOCK CLASSES

Palmerston North, November 4. Although rain fell heavily during the night, the. weather cleared up this morning for the second day of the Manawatu ehow, A boisterous wind blow for most of the day, but the attendance was largo. The Governor-General, accompanied by Lady Jellicoe, arrived shortly after noon and was met by officials of the association and conducted round tho show, bring afterwards entertained at luncheon. Judging in all classes was completed, but full results wero not obtainable to-night. ' At the show luncheon, Mr.' M'Kenzie (president of the association), in proposing Lord Jellicoe's health, claimed that tho Manawatu Association was tho largest institution of its kind in 'the Dominion, having members in all parts of New Zealand. In responding Lord .Tel--licoo said he was honoured by the kind reception extended to himself and Her Excellency, Ho expressed his pleasure at having been appointed natron of tho association, and was grateful that .this should be the first show he had attended in New Zealand. He understood that the Manawatu show commenced in 1885 with 200 entries which last year had risen to over WW. That was a sure sign of the progress of the Manawatu district. He felt confident that tho stay of himself and Her Excellency in the Dominion would be a very hanpy one becauso the people had been so kind to them. He hoped that during tho years they would ba here the whole of New Zealand and the Manawatu in par- — ticular would continue to increase in I prosperity. Tho health of Her Excellency was honoured at tho call of Mr. A. Conway (vice-president), His Excellency responding on her behalf. Thoroughbred horses were conspicuous by their absence. Trotting stallions wero" a fairly strong class and' evoked keen competition,, G. Craw's horse Nelson Derby, by Nelson Bingen (imp.), was quite worthy of the red ribbon which he appropriated. Pony stallions were a Tory weak class, and there were no hackney stallions or brood mares. The ponies wero a very fair lot. but the entries were much smaller than was tho case last year. The heavy-weight hacks included some of the best animals in the North Island, and Ttoy.il Stag followed up his win at Hawke's Bay. The 13 stono hacks wore another good class, and Miss G. Mailer's (Hustings) -Bachelor added further to his successes. The light-weight hacks wero a small Iniioieiect Jot, and in this class Howard Booth's Lonely, winner of several championships, had to take third place to Mis 9 M. Perry's (Mnsterton) Mandalay and Miss E. .W. Niven's (Havclock North) Zeal. The other hack classes wore all well filled and some keen competition resulted. The harness horses wero a much smaller section than last year, but. tho quality was fairly good all round. The breeding draughts were a much better lot than has been the case for some years. Tho male championship fell to'AY. I). Cnmnbell's (Hastings) Matatua Bucklyvie, which was first at Hawke's Hay and which shows all the best traits of the old Bucklyvie's . breed; and the championshin in mares fell to Donald's Estafe (Featherston) . with May Blossom. There was a, very good representative lot of working draughts, tho nlough teams for the most part being nice, low-set. active animals. The Wellington Citv Council's four-horse tenm wn9 a. very attractive exhibit. Pedigree Shorthorns wero well represented, and on the wholo the quality was good. In.aged bulls, W. F. Jacob and Sons' (Kiwitea) To Marama Canterbury Prince beat Howard Booth's (Carterton) Carrington Duke 113 th, which was first in his class and reserve champion at '; Carterton. The junior classes wero well filled with animals which gave good pro- ; misc. What the cows lacked in numbers they made up in quality, but tho .younger female classes brought out ex-. { cccdingly strong competition. There was \ not a very large entry of Herefords, but j they wero a more representative lot than was tho case at Carterton. In aged bulls , E. Jefferson (Wairoa) scored a first with Royal Realm, which also took the championship, with his three-year-old Gamble 81th as reserve champioji. The ! younger bulls were nil good. The chain- J pionship in cows fell to G. F. Morris . (Kai Iwi) Park Rognl 3rd, and he also took the reserve championship with Parle , Amethyst 36th. The Aberdeen Angus ' wero a small, but select, class, the bulk of tho awards falling to F. J. Grant, Dannevirke. North Devons wero represented by a single entry sent in by W. B. V. Pearce, of Rangiotu. The Ayrshires were a particularly strong section. The judging was watched witli great interest, more especially as sonio of the decisions at the Wairarapa show were I reversed. In Wio Slack Perpetual dial- ( lenge Cup, J. Kyle (Aokautere) beat D. I Buchanan (Tiakitahuna). In the bull ( classes the Porirua Mental Hospital's Welcome Lad, which was reserve chain- f pion nt Carterton, wou the champion- , ship, beating their own Style 2nd of ' Porirua, which was awarded the cham- , pionship at Carterton. In three and two-year-old bulls, the Carterton judgment was not disturbed. In tho cow ' class tho Porirua Laura 13th, which wns , placed third at .Carterton, gained the

I championship, with T. 11. Colpnian's Gladys of liiki as reserve champion. A. Montgomerie, of Ivnuwhata, followed up his Cartei'ton success with his tliroe-year-old bull Glenenirn Baron, and also won in' the yearling class Glencairn Craigollachie, a very promising animal. TJie Porirua Farm scored most prizes in tho female classes. Jerseys were represented by nn entry of over 120. and competition was extremely keen in nearly even* class The Goodson Cup for the 'host registered fi'inalo wns won by S. R. Lancaster's lveathcads Glory Lass, which beat last year's winner, E. B. Eagle's (Greytown) Lady Twinkle. F. Ranford's (Stratford) Achievement Willowbank won the championship in bulls, with G. R. M'Kenzio's (Carnarvon). Reply Mcadowbnnk as reserve champion. S. R. Lancaster's Fox's Patch II secured the championship in cows, with E. B. Eaglp's Belvedere Sultana, which wns champion at Carterton, as reservb, while the Carterton reserve champion, W. 11. Booth's Oakland's Patcliless, was passed, over. Lancaster also won tho special prize for cow holding authenticated record for milk and butterfat', with Fox's Patch. The younger classes of both sexes were well filled and strongly contested, c Friesinns were oiio of the best classes seen at any show in the Dominion. The championship for bulls went to the Ceiitral Development- Farm's three-year-old Dominion Woodcrest Beets,land the same exhibitor's four-year-old ' Dominion Woodcrest T'pbe Mercedes was reserve. Tho illoomiicld Farm Company's aged bull Brentwood Domino Dutchland, which was champion at Carterton, could only get second in his class. The championship nnd reserve championship in cows fell to It. If. Green's (Kniranga) Lady Johanna and Lakeside Canary Indi which boat tho Bloomfiold Farm Company's de Kol Gem Lady Rivaj and Longbeach Michaelmas Daisy, which were champion and reserve clinmpion at Carterton. Tho class for cows in milk would not disgrace any show ring, nnd th« younger animals aro an extremely promising lot. Tho Red Polls werea very interesting though not a large section, as they gave an opportunity of comparing the two dis'. tlnct types bred by tho Weraroa Central Development Farm and Sir R. Ilsnton Rhodes, of Otalnina, Canterbury. In the aged bull clnss, Weraroa beat the Canterbury breeder's Red Shirt with the imported Aviator, while tlie Otehunn Estate took first and third in cow with calf at foot, with Weraroa second, and tho latter won the Derby for pair ol heifers. Milking Shorthorns were well represented as to numbers, but the quality wns certainly not an improvement on last year. S. Bolton's (I'nhiatua) Mikado of Cornwall Park waR awarded first place in aged bulls, but was beaten, for tlie championship by Mrs. J. Walls's (Hastings) thrcc-ycar-old Springfield Duke. J. de In Hays's (Woodvillo) Terrnce View Rosy II was k champion cow,

Sir James Wil son (Bulls) stood alone in Shropshire; and showed some excellent specimens o the breed; Southdowns were a ycr>- fin exhibit, lnost of the sheep Lnvinpr bee: at the Carterton Show. J. Knigh (Feilding) secured most of the prizes with W! H. Booth (Carterton) as runner up. Considering the backwardness o the season and the scarcity of feed, th fnt sheep were a creditable exhibit. ,1 M'Kolvio (Carnnrvon). who was respon siblc foi*the bulk of the entries, tool most of the prizes, with Sir Jamo3 Wilsoi next.
