The Winter Show

PEOPLE'S DAY. Yesterday was People's Day, and the popularity of the show was evidenced by the good attendance in the afternoon, when the crowd) at times, rendered locomotion difficult. The poultry hall was crowded as soon as the judges completed their work. The machinery section was the chief attraction in the eyes of ■the dairy farmers, and those in charge of the exhibits had many inquiries to answer. .The ladies "in charge of the quilt stall did good business as did also the men in charge of the Gold Nugget- , ' . In the evening there was again a good attendance, and the Citizens' IJand played a number of selections outside the hall. To-day is Children's Day, and it is expected 'that the hall will he crowded with a happy throng of young people. To-morrow is the closing day of the show, and special trains will cnahlc country visitors to again attend. The Agricultural Department's fine display has 'been the cynosure of all eves and the courteous officials have been very ready to give farmers all the information possible. To-morrow afternoon, in the Town Hall, at one o'clock, Mr. McTaggart.of the '.Agricultural Department, will give a lecture on "Intense Cultivation in Taranaki." BOY SCOUTS. The Urenui bov scouts have a fine exhibit of advanced work, which secured a first prize. Tt comprises basket wor*, knitting, sewing, picture framing, wire work and leather work. There is also included an Indian bed. -<Hic exhibit attracted favorable comment. The Vogeltown Boy Scouts, \\ lid Duck Patrol, staged an exhibit that was admired by visitors to the show, this being a "most comprehensive display of various knots and other manipulations of rope and cordage. Oeat ingenuity is displayed in the erection of a bridge consisting of only wood and cordage, while the variety of knots is legion; the bovs' knowledge in this connection would almost certainly exceed that of the average sailor. They have been awarded a certificate of merit.

MODELS. Some nicolv executed models attracted considerable, 'attention. There included :>p aeroplane, yacht and torpedo boat destroyer, all of which were generally admired- These were all the work of Mr J. S. Skellv, of the local post ofticc staff. Mr &ic Smart also had an exhibit in this class, a model bridge, a very neat and well made model, on which much time and patience must have been spent. TECHNICAL COLLEGE EXHIBIT. The exhibit of the New Plymouth Technical College was a very excellent one, giving sonic idea of the varied and good work done at this institution. It included examples of cabinet-making in such useful and substantial articles as a bed, washstaml, cupboard, and two particularly well made armchairs. A feature of the display was that from the engineering workshop. In this there was first shown some rough pieces of metal and then a number of finished articles which the lads had made from the metal, giving a good idea of the practical and useful work done under Mr. H. Skelton. The remainder of the exhibit comprised some very nice samples of leather stamping, while" the drawings in connee- ; tion with the" engineering were exceedi'iigly neat and nicely carried out. So:;io art 'exhibits, nicely executed relief drawings, also attracted attention. The C'.llege is to be congratulated on the ;.;ood work that it is doing. SCHOOLS' EXHIBIT.

One jili-nsiiifj fixture of tlio show was tie increased and improved school c.xhi- | bits, a very hirge number of luranaki schools being represented, Fit-'.roy be- ] ing the chief. The map drawing was particularly good and excited much favorable comments, practically all the efforts being remarkable for their neatness, clear outlines and general excellence. Letter writing and brushwork formed the majority of the remainder of the displav, anil all were much above the usual standard. All the exhibits did' credit to the children and their teachers. The Fitzrov school children have an interesting little exhibit of fancy work, etc., comprising a flower stand, handkerchief .sachet, ship, crane, car drawing boat, slippers, crochet work and portrait, which did credit to the school. The majurity of the work exhibited many evidences of careful, painstaking work, and came in for general eulogy. PRIZE LIST. (Continued.) TECHNICAL AND rUBLIC SCHOOL CLASSICS. Writing Competition.

POULTRY. ] The Poultry Show has become a very important feature of the New Plymouth Winter Show. Each year sees it growing, and under the capable management of the special committee set aside to look after its interests if bids fair to : - become a very large, show. The number of entries received this year easily constitutes a record, and, not only arc the classes numerically strong, but the quality is there also. All purls of Taranaki, as well as Palmerslon North and AA'anganui, arc represented. The birds are nicely benched in the poultry hall adjoining the produce section, and they are well cared for by the stewards. The judge, -Mr. J. Nixon, of Ivingsland. Auckland, started his task early, but was kept busy throughout the day. lie was enthusiastic over some of the classes, and stated that, all round, the exhibits showed considerable improvement over the last two or three years. American type Leghorns were a revelation to him. They were the biggest class numerically, over fifty birds competing, and he remarked that lie had always thought Auckland the horns of the American type in the Dominion, but they could not compare with the New Plymouth exhibit, in which many of the birds that did not gain a place were fit to compete in any show. Air. A. P. Lister, of Franklev Road, seci'refl. the gold medal for the" bent bird in this class. Air. H. E. Cudby. of YVailara. was a big winner. English White Leghorns outside the •winning cock and hen were a poor class. Brown Leghorns were a strong class, the winning cockerel and pullet being typical birds; the latter, owned by Mr. Oorhoy, won the medal for the best bird in its class. Ban-' tarns, for which the North Island chain* pion.ship had been allotted, were a very strong class, birds coining from as far away as Fulmerston North. New Plymouth held its own, however, K. James securing two of the championships with, a Pckin Buff cock and any other variety pullet; the former was also awarded medal for best bantam in the show. Mrs. S. Johnson, of Palnierston North, secured the. championship for Black Red • (lame. 'Blade Orpington, as a whole, were good. The winning cock, owned by W. Scott, was. the judge considered, fit to show anywhere. With Stewart and 'Landsperg he divided the prizes. Plymouth Rocks were a very big class. The winning cockerel won the cup for the best bird in the show, as well as the medal for bis class; he is owned by Stewart and Landsperg. Other winners in the class were: S. Oliver (Sentry Hill) and C. Cudby (Haw-era). Golden Wyandottes were a moderate lot. Silver Wyandottes, on the whole, were really good, as were White Wyandottes; Partridges were fair. In Rhode Island Reds, the winners were jtypical birds. Minoreas were a very moderate lot. Ducks were very poor on the. whole. The utility classes were all well filled with good quality birds. Captain Allen, who judged the pigeons, regretted that there were not more fancy varieties shown. There were one or two good magpies. The cream of the show was undoubtedly the homers. Many of them, he considered, would compete with many of the Home birds, 'Nino first prize birds were in the running for tlie gold medal for the best birds in the show. They were all excellent birds, and were, after some difficulty, reduced to two, a blue chequer and a blue pied hen being left in at the finish, and the latter ultimately won. Both birds wen' owned by ..Mr. Moverley and have a great reputation as prizewinners at various shows. In the children's pet classes there were some line homers shown also. ORPINGTONS.
