Dominion Dairy Show

THE OPENING DAY. l A SUCCESSFUL FUNCTION. '- i The Dominion Dairy Show at Hawera , iiened yesterday iu splendid weather, | iid before long 'the aisles were crowded « ith visitors from all parts of the proince, the interprovincial football match , aving the elfect of considerably swellvg the numbers of show visitors. The how is in every respect a success, and he settlers and commercial men have hown in practical fashion their apprecition of the enterprise of the Winter ihow Company. A feature of the exhilition is the" splendid arrangement of xhibits in every department, and the ensible 11lJ0ea.ti.0n of "stands." The' ttain liall entrance is made attractive! >y ihe capital display of pot plants, etc., j nade by the Marshead Nursery Comiany, and from thereabouts came the itra'ins of a well-balanced orchestra. Alio in this main hall, too, is the fine! ixhibit of the Agricultural Department, principally of grasses and, fruit,, a-ndi ;his exhibit is really a show in itself. I rhe machinery hall is all a-buzz andi| igog, and liere the Dominion Dairy Show has a big lead over many others, trade displays are numerous, and sideshows also. In this matter, the management seenis inclined to allow the 'shows" any,amount of latitude,, and the aisles were difficult of negotiation at times owing to the operations of the nimble-sixpence fraternity. In the farm section, the roots were fairly good and numerous, but in this section the New Plymouth Show still has a tremendous lead. Experts are of opinion that the North Taranaki farmers should compete at outside shows,, and without doubt gain for their district a great advertisement as a, cropping country. The quality in the farm and garden division at Hawera is still good. Ladies find much to interest them in the home industries division, where the products of the kitchen and the* hundred and one departments of needlework are well represented. The art section is also a good one, and the school work generally is well worthy of inspection. Taken all in all, the Dominion Dairy Show is a fine exhibition, and useful as a demonstrating ground of the skill and industry of our people, and an enjoyable and instructive day, or couple of days, can be spent by even the most casual visitor. The Press representatives had nothing to say in praise of the accommodation provided for them. Seven reporters were cooped up in a space less than 12 feet by 5 feet, and given two rickety little • card tables on which to do their work. This was in< marked con' trast to the really handsome treatment hitherto meted out to then*/ If the Press reports are of value to the man. agerhent, and if they are to be reason ably full and accurate, better accommo dation for the pressmen must be pro' vided, and a little further from the noisj main entrance. PUBLIC SCHOOL DIVISION. SCHOOL GARDENS. Hawera and Okaiawa were the onlj competitors in this class, and' Haven was headed only in the class for beets The various roots shown were very wel grown. There was an entry of twenty-otfi boys and girls, of whom fiften '/nine fron the Mangatoki School, for the bes school garden note book, giving plai of gardens; short diary of work done and natural history observations, tabu lated statement of yields, weather re cords, etc., and school gaTden accounts The other schools represented weri Okaiawa and Foxton. Adelaide Fowle and Edna Joll (Okaiawa) secured: thi prizes in a rather educative section Mangatoki children sent in fifteen en tries in class 15 for tabluated lecords o grapes, showing yield of potato or roo croops from school gardens.

In the district competition, the en tries came from the. various school din tricts, and Fraser road, Okaiawa, Ha wera, Mangatoki, Takaora, Kakaramea Manutiihi, and Meremere competed. Th space allowed, 10ft bv 4ft, was, perhaps inadequate for some of the competitor's but nevertheless the . effect was good and the various bays are quite a centn of attraction. Hawera was placed first Tokaora second, Meremere and Frase road, eqlial, tliird. DOGS. (Judge: Mr. S. Johnston.) Greyhounds, dogs, novice—E. P. Bui lot (Hawera), 1, A. E. Cuthbertaoi (Stratford) 2.

Some of the sections are exceptionally strong in quality. The best P bird in the Show is Mr. Jackson's (Palm- •? erston North) Barred Plymouth Rock " coekerel. The Rocks are the finest ever '" seen in Taranaki, and this particular 'f bird is reckoned by good judges to be '*■ just about a perfect speci'mem off thebreed. He scooped the pool at Palmer--8 ston a week ago. The ; Orpingtons, n brown, white, and American Leghorns, ' s are also very strongly represented', n and bantams are better than usual, Mr. c " "Johnnie" Walker, of Auckland, having 0 sent in a big team with a view of win- "' ning the cup, for which he lias a leg-in. '* A. V. Irvine, of Auckland, scooped the ie pool in the American White Leghorn, *• classes, and E. T. W. Worthy, of Ha-' l - wera, in the utility classes.
