The Taranaki Agricultural Society's thirty-fifth annuol exhibition of stock and farm produce opened yesterday at the Society's grounds on the Racecourse Reserve. in the early morning the weather looked decidedly uupro.pitious, but as the day wore on matteis improved considerably, and by eleven o'clock the .weather had settled and a calm and warm, though overcast, lay followed. The attendance was better
...... on uie nrsL uay of laoi. year a show. T'Jie whole oi ihu arrangcniema nad Oeen brougnt wen lurwarti us tue committee, aim, aauough tue umavurable aspect oi the weainer caused a slight uelay at tue start, the stewards had got right up to time before the public arrived in auy numbers, 't«" stock exhibits '.were larger tuau usu~., the cattle being particularly strong both in quality and numbers, whilst the gathering of horsellesu was worth going a long way to see. As lor some years past, and as might reasonably uo expect-' ed in Taranaki, the' dairy cauie formed the centre of interest. Judging proceeded without intermission throughout the whoie day, as the 'result of which practically all the cattle pens, the sha-ip and pig pots, dairy produce tables, aud the set share of horses, are now bearing the prize tickets. Sideshows wore more than usuuly numerous, whilst the show this year has attracted more 'business firms than of recent years to make displays of implements, seeds, and various wares, ike management of the iSociety should ta*e into consideration the matter qf the rearrangement of the grounds, so that trie booths may be more conveniently plae.nl, both for the proprietors and for tae public. Tie ''inner man" is catered foi, oi course, Mr. u. W. Thomson having the ..-,.- anient booth as well as providing the stewards' luncheon; whilst Mr. E. Whittle, of the Red House Hotel, has the licensed liquor booth. The secretary, Mr. E. iP. Webster, the president, Mr. W. Ambury, and the committee and st ..wards, worked indefatigably tue whole day through and well deserved the success achieved.

The same sire had the eraiit lor the second-prize winner. JJoli. wcishown in fine condition. Female classes were bigger still. There were ten age cows, including two from Mr. HodgKinson, of Nelson; lour three-year-old: were ehown, eight two-year-olds, and ten yearlings. Mr. C. Clarke's Lady Disdain, by Dr. William—Heather, again took championship honors. The same exhibitor showed the reserve champion, j Leaflet, by Wild Cherry. I'lw finestj three-year-old cow was Mr. A. E. Watkins' Mermaid, a pretty animal by Cute Cicero—Mammie 11. Mr. Surrey, of Huirangi, was first in two-year-olds, ; and Mr. l'aton in yearling bulls, with , Mr. Griffiths second. Mr. C. Clar'.w J showed the best pen of two heifers under 18 months, both being by his imported bull. Grades were good. Ml'. C. Day, the judge iu the Jerseys, was very enthusiastic concerning the quality of the exhibits in this section, anil, generally speaking, of the condition in which they were ehown. But, lie added, lie had had a hard day's work. In most cases the best animals wen: all so good, and bo close in point of quality, as to make it very difficult to select the prize-lakers. As a breeder of Jerseys for dairying purposes for the past thirty years or more, Mr. Day said he ) made- utility the first feature in selecttag the winners. Of course, beauty was an excellent thing, but utility came first, for i* a Jersey lacked milking points, of what use mas she? She was certainly no good for beef. So he looked first for a good bag, teats, and escutcheon. The ideal cow or bull would be one snowing all theßc utility points and 3 preserving all the pretty essentials of the Jerseys. Coming to the exhibits, the judge said there was very little room tor comment, as the animals securing the prize-tickets were all so cve.i. It was not a matter of picking out ihe Jjest straight away, but selecting n | bunch o* the best three or four, apparently even, and then searching for faults. until one was left for first. The chain- \ pion bull he described as a beautiful am-' mal fi. typical Jersey, but only a slight Improvement on Mr. Stanley's March Brown. Most of the bulls were tit to wear a first-prize ticket. The cows were an exceptionally nice lot, Lady Oi<-. ■ dain, tile champion, showing rather I more quality than the first cow. TlK 1 judge was greatly impressed with Ihe two-year-old heifers. In the yearli ig heifers the second-prize animal was over-conditioned. Fat cattle -were exhibited in fair numbers, and were certainly very fine specimens, as good as have ever been seen 'here. The competition, too, was kern, Messrs W. Birdling and H. T. Joll sharing the honors. Mr. J. J. Campbell again secured all the prize-money for his Aberdeen Angus cattle, without competition. Herefords, whilst few in number, were shown in splendid fettle, typical specimens of the breed. Shorthorns were in short supply. Mr. Newton Kin:; and Mr. Harold Street were the only '. exhibitors; of Holsteins but the Mack and white cattle were certainly well represented. Mr. Street's Jack,"by Longfield de Kol Pietertje, was adjudged the champion bull, and Mr. King's Bonnie Boy, by Sir de Kol Inka Pietertje, Unreserve champion. Nazli's Gem earned for Mr. King another championship rib- ' bon, and this beautiful cow is bound to 'bo much admired to-day. Royalty, Mr. King's two-year bull, which gained so many leading awards in the present show circuit, was entered, but not ex- ' hibited. Ayrshires were shown in splendid fettle. They were in the main beau- < tiful cattle, thoroughly representative of 1 the breed. Mr. Win. Hall, of Sentry Hill, showed the champion bull, and i Messrs Olson Bros., of Egmont Village. ! the champion cow. Messrs Brown Bros., j of Ngairc, also showed successfully.

Sheep were not largely shown, a fact which was not remarkable, seeing that Taranaki does not claim to lie a woolgrowing district. The exhibits wire in most eases good, but perhaps' hardly class enough for the shows in sheepgrowing districts. This latter reman; cannot be made to apply to the Linco.u ewes, with lambs at foot, exhibited by Mr. F. W. Wilkie, and lired by Mr. w. Gadsby, for, as the jud*-!" himself re-
narked, they would not disgrace any showground'in the w.i.ld. Ml'. T. L.I Perry, of New Plymouth, was tlic judge.]] l'he English Leicester ranis he dcscnn\l i is very good sheep, typical of the breed.' Messrs C. and \V. lioskin showed the champion ram, and .Mr. J. 11. Street the!' best ewe. Mr. V. \\. W'ilkie was the I only exhibitor in Lincoln*, the champion ram being described as a massivc-wool-led, graiid-c.Diistituiidiicd sheep. The lamb shown ill the breeding ewe class was' a niiigniliceiu one, ihe judge commented on the fact that the hoggets ■were asked to con.pete for a special prize against the old ewes, which was not fair to the older sheep, for it was impossible to say how the hoggets would turn out when fully grown. The winning hogget was a very lino animal, w ta
any amount of quality. llampshlres were rather on the leggy side. Border Leicester, Romney Marsh, Shropshire, Southdown, and crossbred longwool sheep were unrepresented. Fat sheep anil freezers were all good, the fat ewes being very well linisned indeed. The f at wethers were also a very line lot. Tue fat lambs were it very strong class, t iv first prize going to n pen of lambs crossed with black-laced sheep. OI pc. lam'") there were eight, mid they were of :■!! sorts' and sizes, from the beaiU'Lillv washed and ribboned Nanny, tiie hi'st prize winner, to a po >r neglected : 'L:.I e . black chap.

As at most New Zealand shows the thoroughbred sections are not strong numerically, but the quality is generally of a high order. The 'blood entires "f the Taranaki Show are a credit to the district and much interest, will lie ten trod in the awards, the class being judged this morning. Mr. J. Bond's Lister Francis wears the first award in the brood mare class, and is a well-moulded thoroughbred, of nice quality. One of her progeny is Lady Menseliikoff, wellknown m racing circles. The second prize goes to Mr. P. Sole's Lady Parii, a brood mare of high merit. The blood yearlings arc well worth inspection. Mr. Clias. Ruseoo's Royal Dragoon, first •■■ the eolt class, is a beauty, nicely moulden and well set up, Mr. J. Bond's Lady Nolan, winner in tliu yearling lilly class, is a good specimen, feminine and sym metrical in conformation.
Carriage horses and hackneys are a strong class. The brood mare's, half-a-dozen of them, are good useful sorts, the winner, Mr. C. A. Rumbal's Jinny, being a well-quartered, roomy animal, with good hard bone in the legs and clean joints. Mr. G. A. Colson's Milly and Mr. N. Hill's Bonnie, first and second respectively in the class for brood mares under. 15.2, arc built on the right lines, being just the sort for the stud. The winner in the 3-year filly class, Mr. Exley's Ella 8011, is a graiid type of mare for the road, either under the saddle or in the collar. The youngsters in the section include a sturdy two-year-old mare belonging to Mr. It. J. Linn, Mr. fi. Petch's yearling, and a handsome well-formed two-vear colt belonging to .Mr. Svinons. „f Pung.irchu. The ponies are a grand lot of interesting little animals, well mannered and nicely groomed. Competition is keen in all chissru.
Draught horses are fairly strong numerically, but, considering'the fame of Taranaki as a centre for Clydesdahs, more competition should be forthcoming. In (he aged entire class there is only one entry. Considering that there are something like 50 Clydesdale sires in the province this is to he deplored. However, the quality of the draughts at the show is in no way inferior to that of previous years, and in some of the classes better animals would be hard to find in the island. Mr. J. J. Camp'osll, of nawera, and Mr. ,T. D. of Manaia, are large exhibitors, ,vid tllcfr entries are splendid types. The former secured the champion ribbon in the female class with Ladv Rancor, the same animal gaining first in the drv mare class. Mr. Campbell's Lady Lincoln and Lady Huntley also wear first prize awards.' Mr. ,T. D. Mitchell's geldings, Nugget, Boxer and Prince, are"animals of groat substance, with an abundance of hair and nice quality, and ha.-c each gained the judges favor. The twovear coll. class has only two o"iv ln j,.both colts 'oeing above' tin ■■■ ;•• onalirv nnd .size." Mr. C. K SlvM's en" Royal Oak,'is a yearling colt of promise, well-grown, and with plenty of stamina. The yearling filly class includes four very nice animals, the winner. Mr. IT Purdic's Countess Roberts, being nsgood a yearling as could be found in '"nnr show ring. The spring-trap horses are an improvement on previous years arc showing in good fettle. The light harness horses and saddle classes have filled splendidly. The *n\mals have all received careful attcnthii and are showing in top bloom. Fir style and action manv of the .ininiiiN are almost perfect. Most of the competitions iii ■ connection with classes will be judged to-day.

a fine range of growing ryes—Canterbury, Italian, Hawke'a Bay, and Poverty Bay. "Sterling" in seeds and "Sterling" in manures arc brands each synonymous of the highesf quality. In" addition to a prominent show of the i well-known Sterling turnip manure, there is a wide range of the best known and high-grade fertilisers, no low per- 1 centage stuff finding favor with this exhibitor. There is also shown a galaxy 01 dairy farm requirements, from food for the fowls afld pigs and the calves to one of the latest separators on the mn'ket—"The Lister'—a machine thai should be inspected. The range of articles is too wide to particularise, but the exhibit is worthy of the closest inspection, there being something to interest almost everyone who has any connection with the soil, be it only in a cottage garden. E. GRIFFITHS & CO. This firm is again :i large exhibitor, pride of place being given to Sutton.'* famous seeds, and foremost amongst the bitter's wide range of need is Sutton's Devon Eaver Ilye. This rye l>n now a big vogue in Tarnnaki—due no doubt to the establishment of the claim put forward Hint it is perennial and will not run out. The noted pastires ill ['overly Hay and Ilawke's Bay wore all laid down with thin seed more tli-in liTi'y years ago, and are as g«nd to-diy as they ever were; in met, each yc.ir they improve, it is stated that although I lie best colonial rye, even from Mission Stations, may die out in time, the Devon Haver brought here by lh« missionaries some fifty years ago, though sown in different localities, remains in Ihe ground to-day; this applies also to the name seed hrnngnt out by Devonshire families nearly forty rears ago. Messrs Oriffiths and'Co, have just sold out their first 'wo shipments, and the third, comprising twenty tanks, has just arrived per v'orinl.hi'e. A large quantity (,{ this is hooked for nil parts of TarnnV.ci. The rye all comes out in sealed tanks, thus preserving its vitality. Messrs Oriffithß nlso show liie'ir ranjjc of Shamrock fertilisers, jind samples of Lyln.ll pure dairy suit, besides Alfa-T.nval Sep- . aratore, Bnbrock testers. Leo preservative, and sundry dairy and farm utensils for which thev are agents.
YOUNG, HOBBS AND CO., seed, grain, and produce merchants, ol Stratford and Eltham. This firm make a most comprehensive and attractive display of seeds and manures, showing all varieties of grasses.', clovers, and root seeds. The most interesting line is a very fine range of Carton's superior English root seeds, including mangel, swedes, turnips, etc., and also some exceptionally choice samples of seed oats and barley. The latter particularly should commend itself instantly to growers. (iarton's seeds aro practically new to Taranakl, and Messrs. Young, Hobbs and Co. have been appointed agents for this district. The sales and results this' year, we are informed, have been such as to warrant the firm ordering large stocks for next season. For two or three seasons past, Clarions liavc been on the market in the south, where the results have taw more than satisfactory, and this year, owing to the strong demand, the stocks have practically run out in the dominion. Exceedingly high germinating qualities are claimed for the seeds. Messrs. Young, Hobbs and Co. are also agents for Lawes Dips, which have given entire satisfaction to its many users. Manures also take a prominent part in the firm's display, Westlield manures for all kinds of crops, and Mount Lyeli Superphosphate, being amongst the foremost. Altogether the exhibit is very interesting and ■well worthy of a visit by all interested.
LEAPING AND OTHER COMPETITIONS. Best lady rider—Miss Ethel Abbott 1, Hiss Jessie Campbell 2. Best lady driver—Miss Ethel Abbott 1, .Miss Jessie Abbott 2, Jlrs. Campbell 3.
Maiden hunters' competition—AV. I'. Baker's (lnaha) Tarpot 1, Jnn. Wilkin's (Oakura) Cloudy Morn 2. There wire eleven triers' for this event, but wifih the exception of the winner, Lhe leaping was hardly up to the usual standard. Most of the entrants fenced well at some of the jumps, but wore faulty at others. Mr. R. H. Chauey's mare Star Lass was in the final for second honors. Tarpot leapt splcndily and was out on hie own.
Pony loaping competition for ponies! over 14,2, to be ridden by boy or girl under 17 Jno. Wilkio'et (Oakura) Snowy 1, W. G. Hi'gginson's Star 2, P. Sole's Black Jack 3, Four ponies competed. The leaping was good. The prize for best rider in this event was awarded to A. Watson, who rode, the winning mount.
SPECIAL DISPLAYS. Notwithstanding that exhibitions of general farm implements, etc., are not as extensively made as was the case some years ago, this feature of the show is fitill a highly interesting one, on !<ccount of the prominence that is given to machinery connected with the dairying industry, to the fertilisers that spell continued life for the soil and to the seeds which are best suited to the conditions oi the soil. Naturally the milk- | ing machines, in operation, "are centres of attraction, and the first display that catches the eye of the seeker after knoTvledgo on entering the ground is THE RIDD. It U remarkable ,Uie success that has attended the fortune of this machine since it was launched on the market 18 months ago. Naturally, being the proof a Taranaki dairy farmer's inventive brain, it is examined with more than casual interest. Nothing speaks more eloquently of the confidence of the machine inspires than the popularity it already enjoys, for in the comparatively brief period it has been on the market no less than SS (separate plants have been installed in various parts of lhe Dominion, the installations ranging from two to six 'buckets, the majority o"f the engines supplied being three and four horse-power. The plants Tango in capacity from a single bucket outfit to milk 8 to 10 cows per hour, and costing ■€s3,""to fl-singlo-buckct outfits to milk 45 to 55 covys per hour (costing £l4O HVO. ami flirco double-bucket outfits to milk from 50 to (10 cows per hour (costing £125 10sL The Ridd Co. are tlia sole agents for "The celebrated Watts' Bros.' oil (kerosene) engines, which, in nearly all cased, have been installed with the Ridd milking plants. The company have a competent staff on the ground energetically demonstrating the qualities of their machines, and with the assistance of the attractive literature they have issued, those interested in machines should have no difficulty in judging for themselves whether 'the Ridd will meet their requirements. A prominent card displays the full list of oresent users of the 'machines, and a n.*rusal will show that m.inv of th,. oust prominent dairymen in the Dominion have shown their confidence in the locally _ patented and locally built machine. The glowing testimonials received from these users speak more eloquently (h in all ,the special pleadings of the pressman. <
J. 13. MACEWAN AND CO., LTD. It is almost unnecessary to say that the ijbove firm was on the ground showing (She latest model of the universally kuown L.K.li. milking machine. The Lawrence-Kenncdy-Gillies has' been, comparatively speaking, &o long as the market, in which it held until just recently undisputed sway, that it needs little by way of introduction. Its reputation is established, but does not rest merely on the mechanism originally adopted. Year by year the machine has been improved, until the 1909 model is as obviously su perior to the 1902 machine as is an aeroplane to a kite. TheT!o'32 machines sold in New Zealand and Australia up to 3ht December, 1908, proves it to be a huge commercial success. Lawrence and Kennedy's portable double-actiug pneumaticaly operated pulsfttor, resting on the milk-pail close to the cow, and Gillies' air admission patents are the main original features of the •well-known milking machine. It is claimed for tna "Thule" pattern of teat cups - greater adaptability to any size or conditions of teat, and the complete stripping of the last milk. Messrs MacEwan also Co. also show in connection with tne plant the Tangye kerosene engine and Brown pump. v
OTHER MILKING MACHINES. The Simplex and the Dominion milking machines are also shown in operation on the ground, and intending buyers, having a choice of four of the bestknown manufactures on the market, are afforded excellent opportunities of making their own comparisons on the spot.
SEEDS, FERTILISERS, ETC. The day has gone when any variety of seed will satisfy the Taranaki farmer, who is quickly learning that the varying soils of the province and his varying requirements require well-selected seeds if he is to get the best results for -lis farming. Dealers have not been slow t" meet this intelligent demand; indeed we are not certain that to them is not due the credit of having created it. The result is that all the best-known English growers are now ably represented bylocal houses. The first of the exhibi s noticeable on entering the ground is tbac made by
NEWTON KING. As usual, Mr. Newton King has a verv attractive exhibit of his seed, produce and manure departments, and practically every food and requirement of the soil is shown here. Sterling seed (Mr. King's own brand) and Hurst's seeds have been well established in Taranaki through Mr. King's agency, assisted largely, of course, by their 'own selling qualities earned on results. Each are represented in nearly every variety of grass, cereal and root seed. As usual. Mr. King exhibts samples of the germinating qualities of his seeds, and shows
J. YOUNG AND CO. Messrs. J. Young and Co., Waiiganui, has on exhibition one of the well-known Storrie Disc Doublc-Ridgers, which is a convertible machine to niouldboarU Hidger. It is fitted with the well-known-Star feed, which can bo adjusted to sow from 281W3 up to lUcwt, of manure to the acre. The turnip and rape feed is' on the drop feed principle, which can be adjusted by a slide lever to sow from •ti/joz. up to lOlbs per acre. This feed is of very simple construction, having only two parts, adjusted in such a way that It is impossible to crush or bruise the seed. l!n field competitions this machine has no equal, having gained first and second prizes for the best crop of turnip nnd mangels awarded at the Otugo A. and P. Society's competition in 1904, and over 1500 are now in use throughout New Zealand. They have also on exhibition a June Coulter and Pennsylvania Grain and Fertiliser Drill with turnip nnd rape feed box attached'. This drill is very simple in all its adjustments, being regulated by small hand levers, thus doing away with all gear wheels. The grain feed is the Flute feed, regulating the quantity by a small hand lever. The turnip and rape feed is the ! drop feed, similarly regulated, and will sow from 4'/ 2 oz. up to Ml lis per acre. This same feed will sow carrots, linseed, kale, timothy, and other small seeds. The manure feed is of the Star type, regulated by a small hand slide, which caii bo adjusted to sow from 281bs. to lOcwt. per acre. The drill is simple and strong in construction. The firm is iilaor agent for the Blackstone kerosene oil engine, fitted with Carter's patent vaporiser. This system has proved itselt Io be the most efficient known, and produces such economical results' as can only be obtained by its use. This exhibit is worth inspection. A SUIT SPECIALIST.
A uuite new departure in agricultural show exhibitions is that made by the enterprising suit Gtforge Da vies, whose name is now a household word throughout the dominion. This linn is now represented in 42 towns in New Zealand, amongst the latest to be added to the list being New. Plymouth, in premises situate in Currie Street, opposite Sargood's. The local representative, Mr. Butler, lias on show a splendid range of New Zealand tweeds and worsteds, portion of a £SOOO order recently placed by the firm with a Dunedin woollen firm—this being stated to be the largest order ever given in New Zealand at one time. "I save you i'2 on every suit" is the raison d'etre for his huge business. He advances six reasons w'ly ho can give the best value: (1) By buying direct from the mills, customers thus getting the middlemen's profits; (2) selling for cash only, there thus being no bad debts to make up; (3) by having his own warehouses, thus saving to his customers the warehouseman's profit; (4) by doing ten times the business ot any other iirm; (5) as shown in the book of testimonials from New Zealand and local customers; (0) and owing to every garment being made in Mr. Davies' own workshops. A guarantee is given with every suit, which in itself is no small incentive to suit seekers to become customers. All information is readily given by Mr. Butler, who is'in charge of the exhibit and ready to hook % orders, which the prices of the goods 'bespeak,
EXHIBITION OF HONEY. A largo marquee contained very intucesting exhibits of honey by the Department of Agriculture and the South Tarnnaki Beekeepers' Association. 'L'he Agricultural Department's stand umtaiued an attractively arranged collection of honey from all parts of New Zealand, with data showing the nature of the bees food supplies. Bulletins are distributed containing information essential to apiarLs's, and particulars afforded of the queen-rearing apiary now established at the Waerenga Experimental Farm, where standard Italian queens are being bred and sold with a view to improving the stocks throughout the Dominion. The South Taranaki Bee-keepers' Association lias also a very fine exhibit of beo-faimers' produce, honey in the comb, refined honey, and wax of all qualities. Quinn Bros. (Bawera Sash and Door Co.) show a large assortment "f locallymade hives, which are built to standa'd size, now used throughout the Dominion. Over 800 of these have been supplied this season, and the fact that pr.ic'tiwilly the whole of the output is now absorbed in Taranaki shows how hotfarming is being taken up in the province.
THOS. BORTHWICK & SONS. Taranaki's leading manufacturing 'nslitution has, as usual, a compact but comprehensive exhibit of their produces. To the average individual that wlik'h appeals is the display of lloi-thwick'< high-class table dainties. These co upriso all the most popular canned goods, and include ox cheek, brawn, ox tongues, sheep tongues, boiled beef, corned beef, spiced beef, lunch beef, boiled mutton, spiced mutton, corned mutton, and other prepared meats in great variety. Though not as long on the market as some of the well-known mak»s, the Borthwick label is now recoguhod as second is- none, and is to be found on the shelvcß of every up-to-date merchant in the Dominion. Those goods are prepared in Taranaki, and have a distinct claim to the consideration of Taranaki people. Borthwick'« standard fertilisers are as wo'l known with' good farmers as are the firm's canned goods with housewives. Allied with their quality, no small measure of the succor attending Borthwick's manures has been brought about by the firm specialising for each farmer's requirements, and supplying fertilising food mixtures to suit the needs of individual soils. The manure department is under the control of Mr. Lawrence, a trained agricultural chemist of wide experience, whose services and advice are at the firms client's free of cost. Mr. Lawrnce is able to vastly assist farmers by analysing their soils, end advising them of the irartictilnr kinds nf manure their land is in need of.
OKfiY, SON & ARNOLD. Okey, Ron and Arnold show a big range of the new Perfection Stoves, aha from the demonstrations given yesterday it would appear that this wellknown kerosene burner has been brought actually to perfection. Under the Intent improvements on the "Perfection," the supply of fuel is regulated to a nicety, and there is absolutely no ofTensiveness. Tin- ovens, at yesterday's demonstration, were heated to cooking temperature : n three minutes. No black is given off from the burners, there being no unennsumed carbon 'whatever, nor any trace' of smell, A very interesting exhibition of cooking was given during the afternoon, cooking to "perfection' being the result. The stovfs are verv strong, '.et neat and attractive looking, boiiy.' bii'H of sheet steel. The nriers rnn'ic from 2iis (Id up. Messrs Okcy, Son and Arnold, as agents, also show Donald nnd Son's wool-press, Mr. Dnnild being also present in the intrrests of the firm. They have also on exhibition a new nnd very simple oil ensine. the Petter, which is attracting considerable attention. The Aermotor windmill is also new lo the district, lint is rihviotwlr a ve.'V satisfactory machine.
|W. JENKINSON &. CO. This well-known linn of coach and carriage builders has a most attractive display of elegant, stylish and durable vehicles in ti large marquee on the ground. Messrs Jenkinson and Co.'s Now Plymouth and Wailnra factories are celebrated throughout the province for their high-grade workmanship, whbh is (amply demonstrated in the show exhibits. The vehicles are nicety arranged and command immediate attention. The best and most durable of well-seasoned timber has found its way into the bodies and wheels, made and fitted by efficient tradesmen, and visitors may see at a glance that the vqliw-lim-mu. iini"'lfftctWj. cd to ■withstand any reasonable amount ot hard wear, fii the painting much care has been exercised, the colors being pleasing to the eye and hard-wearing in quality. The line lining is of exceptional merit, and is easily equal to work that may be ~;'i'ii hi any of the larger centres'.' Much time and labor have been given to the varnishing and finishing, and the most_casiiiil observer cannot fail to See that every detail has been studied. The displav clearly demonstrates one outstaling feature—that Mr. Jenkinson is iceeniv alive to the requirements of the district. The display being a large one, every taste has been catered for. Five Dominion RrnuTcvs arc a grand cxht'ift In themselves. Two of these are on rubber tyres and Mr. Jenkinson informs u.< that the vehicles are perhaps thr> finest he has ever had in the show-ring. A farntefs dog-cart', nicked out in honeysuckle, rivets the attention, and anv farmer should he pleased to be the possessor of one of these. The dog-caH is splendidly balanced nnd runs very lightly. Another verv handsome vehicle is a single buggy, built to accommodate three adults. The ipannelling is of •mangnio, the grain of this timber being KautifuTTy brought out by the varnish finlsTiing. Tfie easy-riding Wetherell gigs, hung on patent springs, are marvels of comfort and lightness. These < are roomy and fashionable and shou'.l find favor with the ladies, by reason of the easy manner in "which these vchiehw may lie mounted and dismounted. As TJiffly carts arc 'now becoming very fashionable Mr. Jenkinson has made h point of including two beautiful little gigs for inspection. These are built on grncefur fines, nicely trimmed, and run wv smoothly, special attention being paid to he .balance and the springs. Although much labor has been expended on the manufacture of the articles in Mr. Jenkinsons display, the selling prices are exceptionally ensv. The dnv has gone by fo r the ramshackle /trap, and ever" person who has use for a vehielelikes to have something pre""'nhle. Messrs Jenkinson and Co. o-e nut to supply demands and the stnndird of their -work proves that all orders placed with the Tirm are bound to give full satisfaction.
