RANGITIKEI A. AND P. ASSOCIATION.

Fifth Winter Show. SECOND DAY. The Winter Show will be open to the public again to-day and this evening, and it is anticipated that there will be a large attendance. Yesterday and last evening the gate receipts totalled £2O; last year’s takings in all were £25, and it would seem that this year will show a good increase. All the judges made complimentary reference to the quality of the exhibits in the various sections in which they were judging. Mr F. W. Lonsdale, of Momohaki, who acted as judge in the Field Roots, Garden Produce, and Fruit sections, state that the roots were a splendid exhibit, the swedes especially being far ahead of anything he had seen in the Dominion this year. “The ‘Superlative’ and ‘Crimson King,’ ” he said, “are really outstanding features in the Swedes exhibit. The Mangels are of good quality, and evidently the crops are heavier this year. The Carrots are really good. The Garden Produce drew fine exhibits, but he tvould like to see more competition. The quality throughout i s an outstanding feature. ]n regard to the fruit, Mr Lonsdale said he could well compliment the district, the exhibits for this time of the year being very fine. It had kept in great condition. Continuing, Mr Lonsdale paid tribute to the district. “A country,” he said, “that can grow crops like this can safely hold itself pre-eminent in the farming line. I attended the stock sale to-day, and have not seen a better parding for years, if as good—especial y in the cattle; there was quality and size right through; prices were big, but the quality of the stock warranted that.”

Mr Janies Fraser, of Halcombe, the judge of the Home Industries, stated that the display of home cooking was the finest he had seen in the Dominion. The, quality of the poultry was also very high. Taihape fanciers, whose birds took first prizes at Palmerston North and Hastings, were in some instances beaten yesterday.

The following is the continuation of the prize list:
