Westland A. & P. Assn.

EIGHTEKXTFI SHOAV. interfered with BY weather The eighteenth show ol the Westland and I’. 'Association held on the Hokitika racecourse yesterday afternoon was considerably interfered with by tbo inclement weather experienced on rue—dav afternoon - and night. and yesterday morning nj> to noon, when the storm clouds broke, and the afternoon gradually became clear and sunny. The early morning with heavy showers deterred many country |>euplo from com- ! injr in, and as a result a number of ! the entries failed to materialise. The | Association bad been fortunate in seI curing » fine list of entries, numbering | about ABO. a substantial advance as i atjai nst .'HO of the previous year. In | spite of the weather conditions the offi- | eials were all at their posts and careful j and prompt attention was Riven to the i various requirements, the arrangements | being very satisfactorily attended to. : The heavy rain caused the course and | grounds to cut up badly, and there was i a considerable amount of mud in places ! V. here Ibe cattle had be latching ■ about. The clearing up of the weiI fber, however, put a better appear- - a nee on c,*vud it no is ye 11 eia 11 y and the : pub!ii rolled up in surprisingly good j numbers, the attendance being very ! satisfactory under ail the conditions. ; The Hon., the Minister of Mines (IT.-ii i.l. C. Anderson) arrived in Hokitika (luring the afternoon, and was a visitor to the Show for an hour, being received by the President and other official- and shown over the special iea- ; r ores. The exhibits were geucrallv ol a i much improved nature. In Imrses. in the spring cart and light liorse.s classes there were good entries, and tile judging was Followed with keen interest. The cattle classes showed much improvement both in numbers and quality. There was specially keen competition in the I Jersey classes. Slice]) were not present in quantity, but the few piers shown were of a substantial nature. Dogs were mostly collies, smooth and rough. The farm and dairy produce was of excellent quality though there was not as much competition as last I year in butter and cheese. Vegetables showed to advantage while the homemade cookery classes were a special attraction, the quality being first class. The school competitions generally proved very attractive and the work was closely examined by interested jarents ami guu'dians.

A special exhibition ol" the work of Msis l.oainioni of Kanieri and her pupils was en view in the Steward's stand, and the sketches and paintings were generally admired, the 100111 being thronged throughout the afternoon. The Hokitika Gas ('ey. bad an exhibit of gas aopl anee-, tbit proved interesting. either exhibit- that Ii d been arranged for were not shor n, the eitvlv morning weather preventing their display, while the soft state of the coarse also caused a postponement ol the mi-tor hurdling event. The onearmed axeman (Mr I). .Ma Kenzo') gave an exhibit inn chop of a standing log. (Icing good time. The bo tbs appeared to be doing a steady trade, In t si Iferod e nsidenibly owing to the reduced attendance. Several sideshows with Heir eumpet T ions o'" •‘■kill" did a good business and the “hawhies" went willingly from the pockets of those who were looking tor experience. The spoiling events en the programme proved very popular and the post entries received were substantial '!'!"■ heavy e mrse somewhat interfered with the contests, but they were run off promptly, the races, jumping and tilting at a ring all proving attractive and causing a large amount of interest. The Old Peoples’ Home. Knmsr; l . forwarded a line e'lleetion of vegetables. The exhibit was generally admired. The judges were as follows: - (forses .Major Stafford. Cattle Mr J. Fleming. Amberley.
