HIGH STANDARD

■WALLACE WINTER SHOW AUSPICIOUS OPENING YESTERDAY BIG INCREASE IN ENTRIES With the entries considerably larger than last year and with the quality of the exhibits of outstanding excellence, the Wallace Winter and Poultry Show and Industrial Exhibit, which was officially opened in the Otautau Town Hall by Mr Adam Hamilton, M.P., last evening, set a new standard for this popular fixture. The weather was unpropitious, but this did not prevent a very large attendance, and when the show concludes this evening it is probable that the gate takings will give as much cause for satisfaction as the other features of the show. . The Wallace Winter Show, which is held under the auspices of the Otautau and District Progress League, invariably proves a splendid advertisement for that fertile district, and this year’s exhibition is no exception. The entries totalled 1444 as compared with 1334 in 1929. .Particularly strong this year were the sections for baking, needlework, preserves and fruit, and the exhibits in these sections would compare favourably with those of any metropolitan fixture. There was a slight falling away in the entries for roots and vegetables and for school work. The following table gives a comparison of the entries in the various sections this

The entries were not confined to the Otautau district, but came from all over Southland and from as far north as Christchurch. The arrangements for the show were excellent, for which no small credit is due to the secretary, Miss C. Hope, to the president, Dr. Reekie, the supervisor of stalls, Mrs W. Porteous, and the committee. The hall presented a scene of great animation when at 8 p.m. Mr Adam Hamilton, M.P., stepped forward to declare the show officially open. The Official Opening. In introducing Mr Hamilton the president, Dr. Reekie, expressed gratification at the exhibitors’ response to the league’s efforts to maintain the standard of the Winter Show and at the excellent patronage of the public. He also warmly thanked Mr Hamilton for consenting to perform the opening ceremony. Mr Hamilton, who was very warmly received, heartily congratulated the district on the magnificent all round display. He had inspected the various sections with keen interest and had been agreeably surprised at the results achieved by producers, by lady competitors and by the school children. He emphasized the value of such a fixture to a community and in declaring the show open expressed the hope that those responsible for the Wallace Winter Show would go from success to greater success as the years advanced. Judges’ Comments.

That the show was of a very high standard was evident from the remarks of the judges. The judge of the needlework (Miss J. Rodger) said that the record entries made competition very keen and judging,in many cases veryj’difficult. On the whole the exhibits were of a higher standard than those in the Southland Show and the applique and richlieu work and crocheted suppercloths were the finest she had seen anywhere. Special mention had to be made of the fine and even knitting in the section for knitted socks, both men's and children’s. The outstanding richlieu work was an exquisite suppercloth by Mr J. Evans, and in the crocheted suppercloth section a circular filet by Mrs J. Mills. The outstanding feature of the needlework section was the applique work of Miss Lumsden. It was the finest of its kind she had seen. The school work on the whole was good, particularly the work of Standards 11. and V. The poker work was of a very high order and the pewter and marqueterie good. Miss Rodger suggested that next year there should be two sections, one for heavy and one for light pewter, and that the section for made-up cushions should be divided into clashes, wool and silk embroidery and painting. This would greatly facilitate judging when the entries were large. The judge of baking, preserves and jams (Mrs Dalrymple) remarked that this year’s exhibits were better than those of previous years and compared most favourably with those at any of the other shows at which she had recently judged. The pickles expecially were outstanding. Some sections of cakes were also deserving of especial mention, more particularly the sponges. There was a decided improvement in the bread exhibits to those in the past, though there was still room for improvement. : The quality, however, was generally good, but the number of entries was somewhat disappointing.

The judge of the poultry (Mr Tracey King) said that the birds were well up to the standard of last year’s show. He expressed regret that there was not keener competition in many of the classes. The quality was there, but not' the number of entries. , The champion bird in the show was a very fine white leghorn hen which would be hard to beat anywhere. There was also a really good white leghorn cock. The best cockerel in the show was a white wyandotte which won in a strong class. There was a nice hefl in the championship black leghorn class. Another strong class was that for white rocks, where there were birds that would be hard to beat anywhere. A black rose-comb bantam was outstanding. The minorca class was not a strong one and the orpingtons were conspicuous by their absence. The ducks were very fair, the best being the white runners and a fine Pekin.

Mr A. E. Featherstone, who judged the school work, said that on the whole the exhibits were well up to last year. In' all the writing sections the difference of styles was not so marked as in previous years. Some of the writing exhibits, while displaying good form as regards lettering and spacing, lost place through errors in spelling and through scratches. The pen and ink work was a distinct improvement on other years. * Some of the drawings, especially the flower sprays, erred. In a’ spray the flowers must be of one kind, but frequently a variety, was shown. The map-work was true in form, but the placing of the natural features was much at fault, while printing seem fed to be a lost art in the schools. The judge of The roots and vegetables said it was a good show. The soft early turnips, both purple and green top, were particularly good for this time of the year. The exhibits of potatoes, though not numerous, were good, especially the Up-to-dates and Sutton’s Supreme. Some large cabbage were forward, this section being hard to judge. The swede turnips looked well, but were not so good when cut. In the grain and seeds the grass seed was over the standard weight and fairly clean. There was a particularly good entry of chaff, and better could not be found anywhere. PRIZE LIST DAIRY PRODUCE. . 1 Judge: Mr. A. Beange.)
