SPLENDID ARRAY OF EXHIBITS

SPLENDID ARRAY OF EXHIBITS

FIRST DAY. The "optimism of the committee and members of the Franklin A. and P. Society in believing that the people of this district would support loyally by their entries a winter show, and that outside merchants would be well represented, was fully borne out by the display on the first day of the Show, Wednesday. The great building, covering over 12.000 square feet of space (Mr. John Routly, architect), was crowded out by the numerous exhibits, which overflowed into about 600 feet outside The volume and variety exceeded the most sanguine anticipations. There were 135 entries in the dogs section. 170 in poultry. 900 in the general, and 100 in roots alone. Interviewed by a representative of the "Times," the president of the society >Mr. J N. Massey), the chairman of the Winter Show Committee (Mr. Jas. Roulston) and the society's secretary (Mr. D. R. Hamilton) expressed themselves as being highly gratified with the entries. It was quite remarkable the amount of time and 1 solid good work committeemen and others from all over the district put in on the grounds during the weeks preceding the Show, and the results redound to the credit of these workers. At night the buildings are splendidly lighted up, thanks largely to the Borough Council staff, and the engineer (Mp,. W. Wyatt), who have worked early and late, and expended no small amount of ingenuity in arranging for the electric lighting and water services, etc. The street facings of the buildings are festooned with red, white and blue electric globes, making a brilliant display indeed, and the lighting internally is all that could be desired. The Pukekohe Orchestra, under conductor J. Hindman, discourses sweet music every evening, the audience getting the full benefit owing to the surprisingly good acoustic properties of the main building. With the music, the flowers, the gay thiong. the scene is most animated. The following are the names of the officers, executive committee, and Winter Show 'Committee:—

Past presidents: Messrs Charles Shipherid. J. G. Rutherford. G. Russell. C. T. Barriball, John Schlaepfer. W. J. Rutherford. W. Sharp, Geo. Ballard. A. J., Lawrie. Jas Roulston. James Potteij, J.

Though the outstanding feature of the Show was the root crop exhibits, certainly the most pleasing was the floral, among which were some very fine blooms, notably: Rev S. Nixon's dahlias—3. 6 and 12 blooms; Mrs M. J. D. Sharpe's graceful decorated in ornamental stand; Miss R. Allan's basket of wintei' berries, seeds and foliage, with their leaves of rare tint; and Miss Nelsie Hawke's graceful sprays in the same class; Mr. R. D. Young's gorgeous blooms in the chrysanthemums; Miss Nels'e Hawkes' gent's buttonhole (Ist) and that of Miss Iris Morrow's (2nd) were both lovely productions. On the whole, the floral artistry was very creditable and charming. ROOTS. The potatoes were rather disappointing in the number of entries as were also the onions. The pumpkins and gourd family generally were first-i'ate, but the turnips eclipsed all else, being the most successful display in the root Taken as a whole, the l oots were the best represented class in the Show. Among the prize winners appeared the following of particular merit: Mangolds—H. Newman, J. B. McKinney, Mrs Brownlee. Turnips -Mrs Learning. J. Russell, A. Dyke. Geo. Potter's "Reviver," Roulston Bros, (th'tee lsts). R. J. Hughes (two lsts), Sheppard Bros., W. McDougall and Des Potter.

SECOND DAY. OFFICIAL OPENING. BY SIR FREDERICK LANG. On Thursday afternoon the Show 'as officially declared open by Sir tederick Lang of the and M.F/ foN Manukau). AsHtted on the platform with him H Messrs C. K. Lawrie (Mayor B*ukekohe). R. F. Bollard (M.P. ■

IKagian;, J- iN • iviassey VIJICSI- , of the A. and P. Society), J. ston (ehaivman Winter Show mittee), J. Wylie, Dynes Fulie president, after the National lem was rendered, called on Mr. lrd to address the large gatherin the main building. Mr. BoloyiivpccpH hIQ OTAflt nlftflSlirfi ill

He aid much rather have spent the among his constituents than be d at work in Wellington. (Apuse.) Sir Frederick consideredt the constituent who was ressented by the Prime Minister had nething to be proud of. Mr. Masi had'been a member for twenty- : vearSt over eight years Prime Min-

Mr. Seddon had reip;nfor 'thirteen years as Premier, therefore Mr. Massey was seeto the record. sferring to the Show, the speakiaid he came prepaVed to find irthing first-class, for he had ;hed the society's shows from to year, noting a steady improvet each time. He knew that the ioters would make ,the* Show a it to the district and its people, this confidence was now fully

SATURDAY fHE PEOPLE'S GREAT DAY.

justified. The people could not but regard the Show with pride and pleasure. The four days' show was highly educative, and was an important factor in teaching what could be produced from the soil altiund. More production, and every acre cultivated, was the great object in view, and the Show, with its healthy rivalry, pointed the way. The fifty-page catalogue indicated things of interest to men. women and children in all classes of the community. The only drawback was the weather, but he would communicate with the Rev. Bates on this matter; since" the arrival of the Parliamentary party the weather had improved. (Laughter and applause.) He congratulated exhibitors and wished the society every possible success. THE WEATHER.

The one thing which the society could not control, namely, the weather. was very unfavourable, heavy rains falling on the day and night previous to the Show, and on the Tuesday. Wednesday was little better, though it cleared up somewhat on Thursday, but a cold wind was blowing. The conditions this morning are far more encouraging. COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE. MACHINERY AND PRODUCE. HEYWORTH. WILD, AND MELROSE. HUPMOBILE, DODGE, AND VELIE. The cars of the above linn are well woiJth any interested person's wh ; le to spend his time inspecting them. Prominent among them is the fiveseater Hupmobile, finely finished, and having underslung springs. It is manufactured expressly to suit Colonial conditions, its suitability for our roads and gradients being widely recognised by the auctioneers, stock agents and general commercial men, many of whom will have no other. One of the conveniences of the Hup. is the easy accessibility to the engine, and that the parts lr.ay be easily replaced from local stocks. She is 32 horse-power, and carries five of the best tyres on the market, the well-known Goodyear "blssck diamonds." The car is fitted with high-tension magneto, self-starter, and all the most up-to-date equipment. Ranged alongside the Hup. is the .well-known Dodge car, spick ' and span, carrying all the newest improvements, and maintaining the usual high standard of efficiency the Dodge is noted for. Of distinct interest, in a district like this, is the Velie six-cyiinder 50 h.p,, manufactured by the International Red Seal Motor Company Limited. The Velie is produced solely for heavy country traffic and general utility work, and modelled on the latest square design, at once pleasing to the eye, and satisfactory in its service to the owner. This special exhibit should not be'missed by anyone interested in cars.

FRANK PERKINS AND CO. FARM AND GARDEN PRODUCE. FROM SUTTON'S SEEDS. One of the most striking entries in the roots section was an exhibit of 50 swedes, grown by Mr. R. J. Hughes, of Paerata. from Sutton's seeds supplied by Messrs F. Perkins and Co., in regard to which the judge (Ma. Luxford) said they were the best lot he had seen. Messrs Perkins and Co's display cf general farm and garden produce stands out prominently, not only on account of the quality and uniform ity of the produce, but the arrangement of them lias evidently "n done with masterly skill, Mr. Geo. Jones being responsible for this feature. As a matter of fact, it is the only really true lepresentative winter show exhibit to be seen, every variety of vegetable being among the collection. The turnips and parsnips are especially fine, and the mammoth pumpkins, which ale excellent- cow feed, can hardly be surpassed. There is a good range of swedes, and of a kind that are absolutely impervious to dry-rot. The onions are also excellent in both shape and size._

The whole of this produce, which has drawn such marked attention from both local farmers and visitors was grown from Sutton's seeds, which are sold on a purity-and germination test, and all a:'e raised entirely from pedigree stock. A. S. PATERSON AND GO'S COMPREHENSIVE EXHIBIT. SEEDS, MANURES, OILS AND PAINTS. The largest and one of the most striking exhibits in the Show is that of the well-known Auckland firm of A. S. Paterson and Co. Ltd. Here the fanner will find samples of r-11 kinds of grass seeds, the purity and gemination test of which is certified to by the Government biologist. Any farmer is quite entitled to send samples away himself and have them tested, or he can call at Paterson's premises and see the stuff handled from beginning to end. But, after all the Droof of the pudding is in

ttli, LUC JJXUUI WX wic jmuuiug *0 U< the eating; for an example of the results one may consult, say. two farmers in the Paerata district who have been using Paterson's seeds for the past seventeen years, and are still using' them! Anions the manures are the linn's own bi'ands of Reviver top-dressing also special grass. oat, potato and onion manures. The firm openly in-

vites the closest inspection and analysis. being 1 convinced that the closer the examination the better the farmer will be satisfied. For fuilher particulars prospective buyers may call on the firm's agent Mr. W. J. Somervell, at Pukekohe Hotel, from Monday to Friday inclusive!. in any week. Brandi/um and Henderson's Can-

IJI UilUtfUlll lUIU liuuuvioviio vuift adian paints, manufactured throughout Canada, figure prominently in the exhibit, these productions being guaranteed 100 per cent, pure, consisting of 70 per cent, pure lead and 3&per cent- pure- white zinc and lin4(eed oil. These paints are for out'side and inside work, and are ready mixed for use, all shades being stocked by all stores. The ready mixed {jri-colour is an favourite. " Auto-enamels. varnishes. n i ii ctnlnc rarriairA

flat wall paints, stains, can latre ! gloss, colours ground in oil are represented, and big stocks are now on the water. Of couflse, the now-famous big Tree oils and benzine are in evidence. There is also a Titan separator, the latest thing from Denmark, the home of the dairying industi;y. This machine, which is used by bridge Co<-op. Dairy Company Ltd., possesses the advantages of a «uwlypatented clutch and spring which takes up all starting Btralns. and the separtitor can be safely started with

the engine at any speed without affecting the bowl. v* Familiar to the housewife f£ the Balloon brand of baking powder. Taking it. "big and large," as the Americans say, A. S. Paterson and Co's exhibit is a distinct aeqoisitioo to the Show, and the agrangement oi it is a credit to Mr/ R. A. Steven* son (seeds and iptfriures) andJ||M| M. Swales (oils &nd pairitsT/j^^M SHEE^OOB^mS^uS^P The sheep dog trials were a novelty for most: people, and attracted a great deal of attention, people standing out in the cold wind foi hours watching the intelligent ant mals being worked. The owners "talked to them in a whistle," anc the way the canines manoeuvred th< sheep through the proper entrance! and in to the yards was a marvel U the laymen to behold. Some agpUße: ment was caused by a natWe ownci who shouted loudly in Maori- at hii dog. People were wondering whethel or not he was breaking the rule which reads: "Any competitor mak ing use of profane language will b» disqualified.', J The short head was the only even! decided yesterday, although the maid en evertt was nedring completes when the day closed. -Sfi The result was:— Short head, pull, drive and yan (open).

THE POULTRY SECTj$!| , 1 SOME FINE SHOW& ~ of entries in try section was one of the stfttriaei of the Show, and the quality pfinaig of the birds earned high praise fron the judge, who candidly admitted hh astonishment. Some of the bMi came from the best imported stocl in the Dominion, and were certainjh among the leading birds, in the Nortf Island. The leading cock, in- ?thi Rhode Island Reds particularly- ap pealed to the judge's fancy, and w stated that he had not seen £ finei bird anywhere. ' & -J
