PUKEKOHE SHOW.

A Brilliant Success. Tlie Franklin A and P Society are in the happy posnton of being able to record that their 31st annual show, which opened on Friday as, reported in our issue of that aftercoon, was a brilliant success in every way, People's Day on Saturday being favoured with ideal summer weather and the proceedings being highly attractive. Although tie gate money did not attain a record, and was indeed some £l7 short of last year's total, it is probable that the attendance surpassed that of any previous year, as with a very satisfactory increase in membership subscribers and their laruilks were on the ground ip larger numbers than ever and their fees were naturally not included iu the gate receipts, whilst trade displays and "side shows" were nt an unusually numerous character, and the many people concerned therewith helped to swell the attendance. Visitors came from far and r.ear, the trains all bringing full loads of passengers, apart from borsi. conveyances and motor cais, which furnished large quotis. Among the company present c'uring the day were the Prime Minister ('he Hight Hon W F Massey) and Miss Massey, the Hon W F Lang, M.l'. (Speaker ot the Housj of Representatives) and Mr K F Ballard, M.P. for Ksglan The commodious and picturesque' nature of the new showground, which was being used for the first time, wes admired by all, and in its purchase the Society undoubtedly have a very valuable asset. The absence of tress to afford some shelter shade for onlookers from the heat of the sun was, however, commented on and should receive attention from the Executive

During the afternoon a capital programme of music was discoursed by the Pukekohe Town Band The majority of the crowd were evidently out for a holiday, and they freely patronised the different forms of attraction as presented by the side shows, and watched with interest the jumping events in the ring. At the same time the exhibits underwent critical inspection by many, who realised that the Show aimed at instruction rather than it was an occasiuii only for plea&ure. The latter individuals had no hesitation in arriving at the conclusion that standard of merit was exceptionally btrong in all classes of stock, every section being represented by many typical animals of their respective breeds. The Home Industries shed was also thronged throughout the day with those interested in handiwork as demonstrated therein, and it was popularly voted that the array of exhibits would have done credit to any district. In keen competition for the honour of owning the champion dairy cow Mr J. H. Hansch repeated his success of last year with hisHolstein representative " Hopeful of Brundee,'' which animal, however, only scored fourth place in the Pedigree Holsteiu class for cows over three years, The prize for the champion hack was won as last year by Mr E. P. Paul's Hilarity, whilst Mr James Buchanan's Patch won as champion hunter,

Mr J. Bull, the judge for hacks and hunters, and also for the riding events, took great trouble before making his awards, and he personally tested many of the tteeds by taking the mount himself, also giving the lead to competitors in the jumping contests. THE OFFICIALS The various Stewards were all most attentive in attending to their multifarious duties and Mr 1). K. Hamilton (President) and Mr J. M. Baxter once again proved their wortb in their able management of details, the latter having the valuable assistance of Mrs Baxter, whose onergy and organisation largely contributed to the success of the gathering. GATE MONEY The attendance was estimated at about 8000, the gate-receipts amounting to £l6 Is on Friday and £2lO 13s 9d on Saturday as against last year's figures of £l7 9s fid (first day) and £22fi Gs fid (second day), the record having been attained at the 1913 show when the totals were £lO 3s Gd (first day) and £230 4s fid (second day).
