SHOWS HELD LAST WEEK

The high standard of entries at the Upper Clutha Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s eleventh annual show, held at Wanaka on Saturday, gave further evidence of the potentialities of the district, which is still young in agricultural development. The number of entries was ample proof that the society has the full support of the community for whose benefit it was inaugurated.

Heavy rain which fell on Friday night, and was still falling when the show was due to start, was the reason for the fact that this year’s gate takings suffered to the extent of £6O in comparison with last year. At about 11 a'.m., however, the clouds lifted and, except for a small shower late in the afternoon, the show was held in sunshine. ■ . In most of the sheep sections entries were good and, in spite of the adverse season, the sheep penned looked well. The roots and seeds section formed a creditable display, and was heavily supported. , ~ The flower section was perhaps the most beautiful display the show has had. Entries were numerous, and were ot a high standard. , . , . The National Film Unit, which was in attendance, had a busy time when the rodeo was in progress. There were 24 entries this year, and the enthusiasm of the spectators proved the popularity of The Alexandra Pipe Band provided a welcome contribution to the entertamThe stewards worked well in getting the competitions run off after an earlier delay because of rain. The results were. SHEEP Romneys (Judge; J. A. Holmes).—Ram. 20 months or ovei'.W. R. Gawn and Son 1 and champion. White Bros. 2, Gibson Estate 3.
