The thirty-seventh show of the Tarnnaki Agricultural Society commenced yesterday, and will he brought to a conclusion to-day. The weather was unkind. The indications on the previous day were none too promising, hut matters improved. Then early oii Wednesday morning sharp showers fell, but once again the sky cleared, and every- • thing looked well. Country people risked the weather in hundreds, but were caught in a violent rainstorm just before U o'clock, this being followed by n further burst of warm sunshine. And so the day progressed, spiteful showers falling at intervals and driving the public, officials and competitors into any shelter that could be obtained. This materially affected the attendance, but did not to any extent disorganise the excellent arrangements made for. the, show. It was distinctly awkward, to say the least of it, but the officials took the weather as it came, and made the best of matters.

The entries of stock are much larger than has ever previously been the case, horses showing an increase of 68, sheep SO, dogs 250, and dairy produce - eight. Cattle show ft falling-off of seven entries, and pigs five. In addition,. itfee quality of the exhibits Tight through is of a Jverv high standardyu««d-there ; are some excellent specimens of the, various breeds.

Mr. Alex, llastie. of N'onnanby, showed the champion draught mare, a three-year-old daughter of Sterling Prince, which <;ives great promise for future show-ring honors. The entry in this class would do credit to any show ring.

Short, of Feikling, who judged the fat cattle, soon got through his work. Competition was small, but some of the beasts penned were good specimens. Messrs. H, T. Joll and W. Birdling slmrcd the principal honors. The bullocks for freezing, shown by Mr. Joll, and the barren heifers, of which the best was shown by Mr. Birdling, were the only cattle calling for comment, and there the quality was really good.

There was good competition in the Ayrshire section. These cattle are becoming increasingly popular in these parts, (ind a pleading feature of the pre(Continued on page 7.)

(Continued from page G.) sent show is that the young stock is of such fine quality, much better on the whole than the matured animals. This is due, no doubt, to the infusion of new blood in the herds during recent years. The competition was confined to Taranaki breeders. The champion bull was shown by Mr. F. W. Wilkie, of Hawera, whose Ben Lomond 11. had no competition in the two-year-old class. This is a very neat little bull, with a lot of style about him, and very evenly made. The reserve champion bull, shown by Mr. Fred Mills, Tokoora, is a fairly good quality bull all over. In his class he beat Mr. Hall's Little Jim, the judge reversing lost year's placing. The Tokaora bull is better in barrel, and better set* up generally. Messrs. Olsen Bras.' three-year-old bull was not shown in show condition, or anything like it. The yearling bulls presented a bit of a problem. Nine were entered, and they were a "hot lot," as sitrong a class perhaps as has been seen in the North Island, and the placed ones were very fine little animals indeed. Mr. F. W. Wilkie, of Hawera, took the first and second prizes. The champion cow wae found in the aged class, shown by Messrs. Olsen Bros. Whilst being a very fine cow, with good udder and head, she was rather thin. Mr. Knauff, of Mangorei, showed a use-ful-looking cow in the aged class, and took second honors. The reserve champion cow shown by Mr. F. Mills easily outclassed the other three-year-olds. The firsc-prize winner in the two-year heifers was a very fine heifer, of splendid type, and of good quality all over. The second prize-winner was well grown, but plain. The yearling heifers were the strongest class in the female section, and very little separated' the three very fine animals which took the tickets. ,

Jersey bull—The championship was awarded to W. V. Harkness' Mulberry, by Rozel's Sultan (imp.), and the reserve champion to A. and J. O'Donnell's Rainbow, by Starbright—Genoa Lady. HOLSTEINS. Mr. R. Reynolds, of Cambridge, who i-nlged the Holsteins, has had the opportunity of seeing sonic of the fine inTds of Holsteins in the United States, where some of the animals are of enormous size. Mr. Reynolds was well pleased with the Holsteins on ■exhibition, but expressed a very natural regret that many of the classes were small. He considered the animals were medium-sized and about right-sized for milking cattle. The outstanding feature of the section was the all-round excellence of Mr. Newton King's two-year-old bull, King Fayne ; Sigis 11. As a dairy bull he was one of the finest the judge had ever seen, and quite exceptional. In another couple of years this bull, he thought, would be a wonder. The judge had no-' thing to say of the remainder of the classes, except that there was apparent in many of the cattle a deficiency in the furnishing of the hind quarters. The same judge took the dairy section, and remarked that many of the heifers bad a •deformity in the udders, consisting of an extra teat growing too dose to the main teat. This was a disqualifying mark in dairy cattle, and he always passed over animals having this fault. Bull, calved prior to July 1, 1908— F. J.

Tn the 'sheep classes the competition is confined to a few breeders, but there are some very tine sheep in the pens. The Society had been promised full classes of Corriedales from Messrs. Fer.n'i« "Bros., of Wangamti, but by some bungle on the part of the. officials of the Railway Department at Wanganui the truckload of sheep was sent to Napier instead of New Plymouth. Mr. Fernie is .going to make another attempt to show his sheep here next year. ENGLISH LEiCESTERS. ' Rani, over 18 'months~-Chas.

PIGS. Pigs were unfortunately a very small section. There seems no reason why the farmers of the district should not come forward better in support of the .society in this matter. There are admittedly some well-bred pigs in this district, and it is a pity "chat this section is allowed to go practically by default. The judge (Mr. Castles, of Hawera) remarked that there were some very good pigs in the pens, but ho regretted that the Society bad had such poor support from pig-breeders. , BERKSHIRE.

The judging in the dog section was completed late, and no remarks by the judge were available. But the entries were large, quality strong, and competition keen. There were nearly 300 dogs, comfortably benched in a large marquee, the arrangements reflecting great credit on the fanciers who have so ably worked up this section of the show. A year or two ago dogs were a sid'e-iine, and 1 almost insignificant. The dogs were chained beneath the doubtful shelter of a footballers' grandstand, and there was no encouragement for breeders to place good dogs on show. Again, the dogs were there for only one dav, and were taken away soon after judging. This year the prize-takers and the others are on view for the whole of the People's Day. DEERHOUNDS.

j DAIRY PRODUCE ,"j The dairy produce section is housed 'i agam m the room below the Jockey Clubs grandstand. There are thirteen A competitors in the two principal butter M but .the Taranaki' Dairy ■" W = to , rl ? s ' a sweepstake* I has dwindled down to four competing • -i factories The Lovell and Cbristmaf ' trophy valued at 75 guineas) goes to J the South Island this year, as does the ' Society s Challenge Trophy, valued at " 2o guineas. In each case the winner is '1 the Wi & Peninsula Dairy Company, '" of Otag'o. Bell Block was the runner- J up in the Lovell and Christmas trophy ti competition, and fell short of possession X ,ot the trophy by only one point. The ¥ ' same factory was close up in the second' •'? competition, but in this the Kaponga *i Company was next to the winner. It jg ? interesting to note that the Dunedin ' : * and Oamaru factories of the Taieri & '' Peninsula filled first and second places - ! in each case, with Bell Block equal for '* second in one case, and Kaponga equal "t for second in the other. In these competitions the butter is exhibited as it '■"' would be when landed in London, the H boxes of butter having been held in v cold storage for six weeks or more Ka- "* ponga was first, and Bell Block second in "'* the Taranaki Factories competition '"' their butters thus showing a remark- ' '% able consistency in quality, they being - 'j the most successful local makers in ' # each competition. The ridiculous regu- '•1 .latum which prevents Government offi. $ cials from communicating any information bo the press deprives our readers of ''l the remarks of Mr. A. A. Thornton, ■ J the judge, at first hand, but we have it ' ? that he expressed his opinion to an in- •* terested party that the exhibits are of £ excellent quality, as will be seen by the i nigh percentage of points scored. The "1 private separator butter shown by Mr. • F. PaddisOn (Tarurutangi) and Mrs. J. t \ 3. Griffiths (Tnglewood) was of good' | quality, and the same remark applies to '' butter in rolls. There were only two 1 exhibits of fancy butter. j The Kaponga Dairy Co. was first in both' '*■ cheese classes, white and colored, with *i Warea second. In each case the quality was really first-class. The cheese-mak- ;. ing concerns in Taranaki do not support the New Plymouth shows to any great ."• extent. Mr. Thornton will be glad to ', meet dairy factory managers at 2 o'clock this afternoon in the produce room. The following table give* the details by which the judge arrived at his decisions:— BEST BOX FACTORY BUTTER, not less than 561b. First prize, Messrs. Lovell & Christmas' Challenge Trophy of the value of 75 gns. to go to the factory, and to be won three years in succession or five times at intervals. And £lO 10s cash, with certificate, to go to the make of the butter each year. Second prize, the Society's award of £5 ss. Third prize, the Society's award of £2 2s. ■
