DOMINION SHOW.

BUTTER AND CHEESE EXHIBITS. A FIXE DISPLAY. Butter and cheese, as usual, occupy a prominent .position at the Dominion Dairy Show, and this year's display is again a prominent feature. Numerically, tho cheese exhibits are much stronger, being. 120 as compared with 77 last year, whilst the butter exhibits are about the same, namely, 4C, as compared with 45 least year. The butter and cheese is very attractively displayed, being enhanced by the pot plants and trophies, which are artistically arranged. Two extra classes for cheese have been included this year, and these have drawn large entries. This cheese, from pasteurised milk and non-pasteur-iscd mil!;, is shown at the end of the hall, and is marked cheese as exported, showing practically the condition in which it arrives in London. The quality of the cheese on the whole is up to the usual standard, particularly the placed exhibits, while the butter is a very even lot. In cheese, factories from outside compete very strongly -and very successfully with Taranaki factories', the bulk of the prkes going outside Taranaki. Dalefield, a Wairarapa factory, which has been consistently successful at shows this year, is the principal winner, with three firsts, a second, and a third, also securing a leg in for both the Henry Lane and Shaw Savill Cups, and winning three gold medals and a gold watch for points prizes. Cardiff, with two firsts and two seconds, secured the Taranaki championship for the third year in succession. Kaitangata (a South Island factory), and Belvedere also secured firsts, in tho pasteurised and non-pasteurised classes Norsejwood and Mells respectively scored. In the butter classes, Levin, for the third year in succession, won the three open classes. Taicri and Peninsula and Bunnythorpe were respectively second and third in each class. Moa again wins the championship of Taranaki, open only to Taranaki factories. Levin also wins a gold watch and a gold medal for points prizes, Taieri and Peninsula winning a gold medal for South Island factory scoring most points. The results were as follow: CHEESE.

Each year since its inception, in 1910, the Dominion Show has sholfvn distinct'' progress, and this year's show, which opened in Hawera last night, proved no exception to the rule. Not only has every available inch of space been' taken | up, but numerous applications had to 'he refused. The plan of the building, with its various halls, lends itself admirably to a show of this description, and the 1 space has been used to the best advantage, Mr. L. O. Hooker, who has had the management of this department for some years past, having again given it his expert attention. The new Kitchener Annexe is devoted to motor-cars, etc., and several exhibits, including one from the New Plymouth Technical College. Adjoining this is the Dairy Hall, in which there is a great display of dairy produce, also home industries and field roots. Adjoining this again is the Trade Display Hall, and immediately behind this is the hall usually devoted to the Government Agricultural Department's display, which this year gives place to the '"British Trade Exhibition," which is well wortljy of careful inspection as showing that the maxim "British Goods for British People" can be made an undoubted truth. The large hall set aside for machinery is again a great sight. In the competitive sections of home industries, field roots, vegetables, 'honey, art, fancy work, etc., there are excellent entries throughout. The dog and poultry shows, which are in roomy annexes, have also drawn large entries, American White Leghorns being particularly strong. The show iwas opened last night, when there was a large attendance of the public, who expressed themselves as delighted with the display. The official opening will 'be iperformed at 2 p.m. today by Mr. R. W. Dalton, H.M. Trade Commissioner for New Zealand. The committee, of which Mr. D. J. Goodwin is president, has made complete arrangements for the week, as already advertised. There is also a windolw judging competition by the public, which commenced last night. The secretarial duties are again in the hands of Mr. A. H. Lennon, which is sufficient guarantee that nothing is lacking in this department.
