WINTER SHOW

The eighth annual Winter Show held by the residentsTotf Kokatghi' and Koiterangi at the Public .Hall, Kokatahi, was opened yesterday afternoon under perfect weather conditions and a very large attendance: of residents and visitors. The large hall was well filled wiuA exhibits and it was generally agreed that the ’ quality showed improvement on the' fine-displays of previous years. Two striking features were at the entrance to the hall, on one side the Kokatahi district bay, and on the other the Koiterangi district bay. These were very fine displays indeed and were the subject of very favourable comment. On this occasion the award Avent to the’ Kokatahi bay. Moth Avere very fine exhibits there being a very- attractive, display oif the districts capabilities gathered in tasteful array. A noticeable feature in the Kokatahi bay was model oif the factory made in butter, the, work-, of the manager, Mr J. A. MdCallum. The home cookery and miscellaneous preserves sections filled two* large • fables the length of the hall, and these again were of a highly attractive nature, the housewives of the district shoAA’ing tneir capabilities in a striking, manner. There was a special display : abed cakes of a high quality. The farm produce was another attractivei Section;; the quality being excellent, and competition keeijiia u Garden/ ipijqdu(.;er, wasanother attractjvbM Section;, that !?as Avell filled, the’quality aghidl being; excellent. Fruit made,a far better sliowing than usual-and there were good entries in each class. Farm products made a brave display Avith dressed poultry, bams and bacon, honey and butter, and the quality Avas the subject of much commendation. The fancy Avork section Avas green more prominence on this occasion and attracted much attention from the lair sex,. Avhile the children’s exhibits Avere excellent, the judge expressing bis pleasure at the excellent Avork displayed. The poultry exhibits Avere shown in an annexe at the rear of the hall and though' 'nob •m • numerous as- -on .pruvi-. ous years, the quality generally Avas very good. The various judges got through their tasks in good time and their awards Avere well received. The various officials from the President (Mi W. A.‘Jamieson) and Secretary (Mr T. Ecclesfield) AA-ith a host of steAA ardfi and assistants had made very complete arrangements AA'hieh Avorked out'- Without any hitch, reflecting every credit on the excellence oif their management. The District Bay Avas Avon by Kokatahi Avhile the Newman Cup Avas Avon by Mr H. A. Boddington Tor the third time and now becoiffei his - property. The Morel Cup was; Won for the second time by Miss LqrhA Monk and it becomes her ' WF- ■ :v THE SPEECHES.

About three o’clock, the forural ripening ceremony took place. Mj\.vW. ; ,A. Jamieson (President) expressed, his pleasure on the occasion of the eighth annual winter shoyfeto welcome those present to the district. . The winter show held from year jito year had brought the quality of the exhibits to a- higher standard. If not quite so numerous as in previous years., the quality was outstanding. The official opening had been usually carried out on the second day, hut this time no invitations had.been sent out and he wished to apologise to the speakers for the absence of an invitation. He was glad they were present to open the Show. He thanked the judges for the manner in which they had carried out their duties. They had had a difficult task in deciding, the quality being even. He would ask Mr O’Brien to address them.

Mr James O’Brien, member for Westland, said he was pleased to lie present to congratulate the people of the district on this magnificent Winter Show. Each year it was a little better. They had everything here, that was needed and showed what can be done by the farmers, men, women, and children. It was particularly good to see the exhibits from the homes. He congratulated the women and cliildren on their very fine exhibits. They showed what New Zealand can provide. The show was an object lesson of what could be made from the land. There was plenty of land waiting for settlement, but the spirit in the past had been to put as many obstacles as possible in the way of the farmer desiring to get on the land. It was through the products of the land that New Zealand was able to pay the interest on its loans. He congratulated the people of Kokatahi and Koiterangi on the splendid show that had been made that afternoon. He would endeavour to start a similar show to be held in 'Greyinouth next year. He again tnanked the President for the opportunity of sayiiig a few words and congratulating the exhibitors on their very fine display. . Mr Bernard Ward (County Chairman) said it indeed was a very great pleasure for him to be present on the opening olf this, the eighth Winter Show. He had attended most ot them and had been struck by the improvements, year by year, in the quality of the exhibits. The people of the d.s-, trict were doing a great good work ...

Another Fine Display

hibits Avere a sample of AA-hat can be produced from the soil of the West Coast, pastoral and dairying. The average cow in NeAv Zealand gave 1751bs of butter fat and in Denmark gave boOlbs. There Avas no reason why they could not equal the output of Denmark in New Zealand. They had a better winter here, whereas in Denmark cattle had to he housed all the Avinter. . Ip no part of the 'world could ! they have had a better day than that they had to-day. They kneAV he had J recently been elected County Chairman j ana he mentioned that the Council | Avas anxious to provide the best of roads, always remembering that the I cost of it came out of the pockets of the farmers. He had seen many improvements in the district in the last I 20 years, but be sadly missed many o'' the old people Avho had opened up the district in the early days. He would like to ?ee the district get electrified. It AA-ould help tli-e j womenfolk, assisting in many Avnvs to 1 make their tasks lighter. He strongly advised the menfolk to get busy and guarantee 'the installation of electric light frr the district. In conclusion be congratulated, them : on - jtjifir very. fine • show'! •;' lti iprbVed ftlVe ! quality jof the ! produels was equal'to t|/at ; of; any. par.., of - New Zoahind. : 4 .1 * :'!*• Mr, W.

He heartily congratulated one and all on the splendid showing made. Mr .J. Ilyall (member of Grey County Council and Westland Land Board) congratulated tne people of Kokatahi and Koiterangi on their very fine exhibition. He congratulated the Committee on their good Avork.
