Association opened yesterday in dull weather, with light'showers. ,The atterdance in the early hours of the day was disappointing, but improved considerably in the afternoon, and then appeared to be quite up to previous years. Entries were particularly good in quality, and showed tlmt those who were responsible for the association i<everaing its original decision not to hold the show were justified in th'eir action. In all sections a total of 1115 entries were received; The association was compelled this year to hold the show in autumn, owing to time not permitting the arrangements to be made for a spring show after it was decided definitely to hold a show this season, and though many.advocate that it would prove advantageous to hold the show during the autumn in preference to spring, it is early yet to state whether this show, which is Somewhat in the nature of an experiment, will prove this. The president (Mr. A. L. Campbell) and secretary (Mr. A. D. Perkins). both of whom are new to the offices this year, filled the positions ablv and worked hard to ensure the success of the gathering, and in this they wcrw ably supported by their officials, with the result that all went smoothly, and the press particularly l'.as to thank them for the expeditious way in which the results came to hand. Early in the day the stewards had the cattle ready for the judges, who got through their work promptly, though some of the classes in 'the cattle required considerable selection. The results were quickly carded, and the public were able to criticise or approve as the case may be. Cattle are, of course, the strongest class. Included in the fat cattle exhibits is tiie mammoth bullock shown at the Stratford Show by Mr. Bottomley, and gives an excellent illustration of what Taranaki can produce in the way of fat stock. Regarding the milking section, which is, after all, the main feature of Taranaki, it was admitted by all that the cattle were shown in admirable condition. Although some of the cows had been in inilk for five or six months, the different types were all shown in the competition ring in a very creditable manner. Recognising, also, the labor difficulties, the trouble in railing and yarding stock, etc., the owners have shown commendable enterprise in nominating so freely, and proved that, war or no war, all were animated with the desire to show those earning a livelihood oil the land, and the man from the city, the very best that was in the province. The hearty co-operation between the association officials and owners of stock is pleasing to chronicle, and as long as the understanding continues, so long ib the success of Jlawera and similar associations assured. The outstanding feature of the various classes was that, whilst entries did not appear to the casual glance to be as numerous as in the past, to the critical eye 1 quality was well up to standard, and prizewinners had the satisfaction r' knowing they beat good cattle.

Tim competition in the pig classes was limited in ownership, but the exhibits included the best that is going in Yorkshires and Berkshires. A new competitor in these classes is Mr. F. W. Fitzpatrick, of Hastings, and his pens were closely scanned and criticised by those farmers interested in this class of farm animal. Tmnworth and Devon pigs were not represented. At the conclusion of the competition in the Jersey classes Mr. E. D. McLennan, I'apakura, expressed himself as well pleased with the type of cattle brought under his notice. Generally he was well pleased with the quality of the aged competitors. In this connection, the champion and reserve champion in both bull and cow classes were fine types of animals,'and he thought that the bull (champion) of this year was superior to the one holding the same years back, when he (Mr. McLennan) was at the show. The young stock was very promising, but the autumn was not the' time of the year to see the stock at their best. In the Shorthorn competition, Mr. W. T. Woods, Papatoetoe, was also satisfied with the quality shown, but entries wi;re not so numerous as might be expected. The successful bulls and cows were of good type, and quite up to previous years. In the horses (draughts) the judge, Mr. H. Aitkcnhcad, Helensville, said the draught mares were splendid specimens, and worthy of any show ring. He was not so impressed with the young stock, however. In the, sheep classes, Lincolns, usually a weak class, secured, strong Competition, with Romney Marsh next in favor. Sheep generally were very good, except in fat lines. The horse events, as in seasons past, proved a great feature of the show, the leaping and jumping events attracting large entries and flue horsemanship. M*

other popular event was the sheep-dog trial, which WHS conducted in the horse arena, and proved very interesting. As in the past, there are plenty of showmen ready to keep the public interested, so there was no occasion for any to find time dull. Home industries, always a popular feature, secured line entries and competition was keen throughout, indicating that the ladies of the district take ay big aii interest in their portion of the competition as 1 others. The judge remarked that the exhibits were of very fine quality and variety- The bread baking waß, on the whole, very superior. An attraction that should prove of interest to nil visitors, and which is Well worthy of inspection, is an illustration of trench work, completed by returned soldiers. This is under control of Major Cox and shows the methods and depth of trenches made 'by our boys at the front. The soldiers are making a charge for admission, which goes to the Wounded Soldiers Fund, and to-day's attendance should be the means of considerably augmenting that fund. The usual side shows are not so numerous as in the past- The catering was in the nands of Dustins, Ltd., of Wanganui. and was up to their/ high standard. Detailed results are as follow: CATTLE.
