This year's show marks the commencement of a new era in the history of the Taranaki A. and P. Association, for th? Society is now established in a home of its own at the new showgrounds, Waiiwakalho, a desideratum that has been Achieved through the untiring efforts of ithc president, Mr. J. S. Connett, and a few other enthusiasts. Those who had /Hob visited tho site since the Society fcOwmenced their building operations, expressed surprise a*t the results obtained lin the short time, for the Society has adopted a progressive policy, starting out -with the object of making the showgrounds one of the most up-l.i-date in 'the Dominion. What has -a far been done is but part of a plan that is to be completed as funds permit. .Exhibitors expressed themselves as ple-.-ed with the accommodation ami conveniences a'- ' ready provided, especially t ■. 'J ovcrcd--5n cattle pavilion, and they can rest assured that each year will see the " scheme of progress further extended. Tliere is no doubt that the Society will r.ow enter upon a new lease of life, in which it will be able to extend its career Ot usefulness. Its condition to-dav is in marked contrast with its almost nio:!- , frind state of two or three years past, and the president was yesterday the recipient of congratulatory remarks. Yesterday's show was the forty-second that has been held under the auspices of tho Society, and the revival of interest that was noticeable ir.it year was again in evidenco this year, for despite the scarcity of labor, which preclude.', .iinv from entering, the exhibits were ..inch ' in excess of the previous year. Exhibitors from around New Piymouth iia'.e en. t.'rcl freely, whilst the Stratford district n:i l South Taranaki have also sent f'.nvurd a large number of entries, and tj.-=ides adding generally to the success ■-.f the show havec reatcd an additional

; -aice of interest amor.; the competitors, ip the various classes. The coast be-1 "iwcen Xew Plymouth and «Opunake isj lot> as well represented as last year, but I this is solely owing to the fact that j - ihe absence of railway communication > ieccssitatcs farmers entering stock giv•hg at least a. week to travelling, etc., »i:d this they canoct spare whilst labor, 8 so scarce.' In the light horses classes mtrics have been received from as far tway as Fei!lir7 r The scene yesterday was an animated tne, ihe attendance being exceptionally iirgc for Ihe «:*ninjr "-'.V- Fiom early jno-rvn: l-ha stewards were hard a', Vc-'k " and judging lime cvcr.vthmg was in readiness for t-" .parigei, who we-e ij;.i,-;lly .".t work I'ti' ■y> ia.ge were K.n.y of the ' lr> ciuse «.-rc i'e n-inia's tiia'- adjudic-ii.. i v.,-(nd-4t "Aas lnle in ti-c -i!

and eevrything is in readiness to cope with the crowd that will be present today, though, of course, there is a lot of detail work yet to do. The new concrete grandstand is ready for use, whilst the large room beneath it yesterdaymade an ideal luncheon room, which was in the capable hands of Mr. Wooller. A marquee near by houses the publican's booth, which is again in charge of Mr. E. Whittle. The displays of motorcars and machinery should interest farmwhilst the side shows will appeal to many. The arrangements in connection with the secretarial department are again right up to_the moment, Mr. A. L Humphries' organising capabilities being evident-, whilst he was admirably seconded by Mr. W. P. Okey. THE EXHIBITS. As is only to be. expected in Taranaki, dairy cattle are a strong feature, though fat cattle, probably due to the establishment of the freezing works at Smart road, show a great improvement. JERSEYS. That this breed holds premiership foi popularity is ahown by it being numerically the strongest, and a fine collection is assembled on the showgrounds. The judge expressed himself as well pleased with them. ill'. R. J. Linn was, a notable absentee. Wrenn's Molina's General secured the championship and H. Purdie's "Masterpiece of Meaclowbank reserve champion among the bulls, whilst Mr. A. A. Ward's Miro repeated last vear's performance among the cows. The "same owner secured reserve champion and also proved a very heavy winner in other classes. There was a particularly big ring of yearling hulls and heifers," Mr. C. W. Reube being success, ful in - each class. nOLSTEINS. The Mack and whites ine'..idcd some fine animals. Mr. W. I. Lovelock, of -Palmerston North, was again a competitor, whilst a new competitor to the New Plymouth ring was Mr. C. M. Clifford, ol I.eppertcn. The Palmerston owner's King of Dominos won the championship for bulls, but Mr. Lovelock had to give place among the cows to \Y. James' Segis Galatea, who defeated Domino's Frcisland Belle after a keen competition for the championship. In this section prize honors were well divided, Messrs C. M. Clifford and J. W. J. Gardiner (Lowgarth) winning freely. 4YRSHIRES. ii tiuianle absentee from this section was Mr. F. Mills, of Hawera. Messrs Olson Bros., W. Hall and P. Bremer were the principal exhibitors. In bulls the Lepperton breeder was most successful, Little Jim winning the championship, and his son, Pride of Edendale, reserve. In the female classes the Egmont Village breeders did likewise with Henthcr Bloom and Duchess of Haydowns. The judge said the Ayrshire? were of a variety of types; some had substance but were inclined to be coarse, whilst others showing quality lacked substance. The old bull was wonderful ior his age. The champion cow was good in symmetry, but probably her vessel did pot show to the best advantage owing to her having been so long calved. The "yearling bulls and heifers were a particularly promising class. SHORTHORNS. , Mr. James C. Wrigh.t, of Matapu, and Messrs R. Turnbull and Sons, of Sentry Hill are again rivals in this class, the southern breeder proving the more successful prize-taker. PEDIGREE TIEREFORDS. Some fine type of the white-faced cat- . tie arc orJ view. Mr. J. Forbes, of | Xormanby, is a large exhibitor," and scores champion bull ss well «3 numerous ether prizes. >!>. Clias. Sole, of . Warca, has entered three typical spec:- , mens, and takes one championship and ? three first prizes, f FAT CATTLE. '■ The;e are a. strong class, and speak f well for the fattening qualities of North i Tisranaki land, auguring well for the 1 success of the freezing works. Messrs ' Chas. Sole (Warca), W. Grant (Punihu), - 0. S. llobhs (Inglewood) and the Tara--1 liaki Fanners' Freezing Co. are the most ' successful exhibitors. - GRADE CATTLE. 1 Tiic- grade cattle are numerically ' Strong and show great oualty. As in the pedigree cattle, Jerseys predomin--3 ate. In the gift class section, Mr. H. 1 C. Sampson again scores, having done r,o -lince the inauguration of the competition, bill3bovough winning all the prizes, = HORSES, j In horses, draughts are weak, and u there is not much competition in thorr ouglibreds. In light liorses, both liars ness and saddle, there is a good display. They are numerically strong, and some . fire animals are paraded, the judges be- \ ing very much impressed witli these exhibits. which they say are equal to any t!i:-y have seen in any show-ring. J THE COMPETITIONS, t These were good, some excellent jumpn ing being witnessed. The judges, howe ever, suggest that the ladies' liiing y should not he judged on the list, but h should include jumping. I. ' SHEEP. •' Though not numerically '-'. i ..hj, there are some fine sheep shown, the judge considering the English Leicester* equal s to any seen along the coast. The fat l ' sheep were in great condition. Some exs hibitors, however, entered their sheep in the wrong class, evidently under the 5 impression that "short wool'' meant a ' sheep shorn late. n I PIGS. The competition in pigs was disap- '' pointing, North Taranaki la-inv: represented by very few exhibits, which is to ° he regretted when one considers what a 1 valuable side line tilis is. The bulk of , the iirr.es went to Hawera and .Midhirst

DIPHTHEEIA-HOW IT MAY BE AVOIDED. Diphtheria is usually contracted when tile child has a cold. The cold prepares the child's system for the reception of germs. When there are eases of diphtheria in the neighborhood children that have colds should be kept at home and off the street until recovered. Give them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and they will not have to remain at home long. It also cleans out the culture beds, which'form in a child's throat when it has a cold, and minimises the risk of contraotius infectious diseases.
