The splendid re- | suits achieved yesterday in tho face 'of j shortage of labor and other war condi- | ! tions must have elien particularly grati- j ! tying to those oflicials who for months . > past have been working assiduously and , ( enthusiastically in the interests of the , society, and wlio must have been re- ; warded to some extent by the opinions expressed bv many of the exhibitors and j visiting judges, who were pleased with 5 the showgrounds, the appointments \ (particularly the cattle pavilion) a.'\d tlie ' \ fine exhibition of stock- The attendance | yesterday was very gratifying for the J "first day, the gate receipts showing an j I increase. | | A start was made early with the judg- ■ | ing of the cattle, the judges being kept S busy until late in the afternoon, owing \ to the size of .some of the sections and I the closeness in points of the competi- ' tors. Exhibitors speak, highly of the courteous assistance received from all stewards and officials. The ring was also kept busy with the horse events. ! A feature of the show this year'is the catering, w'liich is under the control of the ladies, the proceeds going to swell the society's funds. For some time past the committee of ladies hav% been working whole-heartedly in the matter, and they achieved a signal success, the catering' being excellent, whilst the waiting by a bevy of young ladies left nothin* to be deßired." They had a busy time with luncheon and afternoon tea, but were equal to the occasion. The president was most 1 assiduous in his attention to exhibitors, judges, visitors, etc, and. with the supervisors, deserves to be congratulated on the completeness of the details, nothing being left undone that could assure success. The secretary and his assistant also had their department up to the moment. The side shows appeared to do good business, and no doubt will do better to-day. In agricultural implements, etc., there is much to interest the visitor, Mr. Newton King being to the fore with a great display, together with seeds, manures, etc. Messrs J. Young and Co-, Wanganui, are showing engines and machinery; Messrs Robertson and Co. are showing motor cars, and the Cement Pipe Co. has a neat display. As is only to be expected in a dairying district, dairy cattle predominate, the three favorite breeds—Jerseys, Friesians, and Ayrshires—being vcrv strongly shown. The first-named still nredominatc in numbers, but that the Friesian is gaining in popularity is manifest from the growing entries, the black and white running the Jersey close for numerical supremacy. The Avrshire breed is also well represented. Milking Shorthorns are also shown freely, but some of the classes are disappointing. On the whole, however", the display of dairy cattle is probably the best that bag ever been seen on the New Plymouth sbowgfound-' Fat cattle are not numeriOftllj jtronj, but the specimens {penned

are well worth inspection, especially tlie first (prize winner, owned by Mr. X. Bottomley, of Hawera, which repealed its Hawera performance- Chas. Sole, of Warea. is showing two splendid Herefords and Mr, Marfcll, of Tol;o. is well represented. The judge remarked that tinfat cattle shown are of great quality. Referring to the Friesians, the jiui.ee said that most of the classes were exceptionally strong, and showed uniform excellence throughout. It was hard to separate the prize-winners, particularly in tlie young classes, so numerous were the entries. All the placed animals Mere first class specimens of the breed. He I would have liked to have seen more aged cows shown, hut an autumn snow was not as good as a spring show for exhibiting cows in milk. Exhibitors from all over Taranaki entered freely in this class, Xcwton King's silver cop for most points going for the second year In succession to Mr. J. W. J. Gardiner. Mr I 6- A. Marchant's aged hi. 11 repealed his Hawera performance in annexing the championship, Mr. W. James taking the female championship. In Ayrshires, W: Hall and Olson Broswere the strongest competitors, the latter easily annexing tlie silver cup for points prize, which was won by W. Hall last year. The Egmont Village breeders annexed both championship and reserve championship for the females. W. Hall secured reserve, as at Hawera, being i beaten for the championship by W. Tait whom he defeated at Hawera.

In Jerseys, A. A. Ward again wins the silver cup pol-.its prize for the second successive year. As at Hawera his | cow defeated J. Nicholson's for eir-"i ! pionship honors, but his bull, the ; wera champion, had to gh> place to sir. John Hale's, of New Plymouth. In dairy Shorthorns the young stocl; shown was very good; a decided improvement on the old stock, as it should be. Grade cattle were a good lot. The competition events are always the most attractive from the casual spectator's point of view. Yesterday, the various competitions drew very large entries. and the fields were good. In tlie jumping events horses from north of naitara and (he Wanganni district were brought together, and the exhibition had some thrills. The Maoris were responsible for ■<r\ entry in the leaping competition, bid there was not a good understanding between Poakaoto and his dusky rider and Ui" horse never completed the course. A Cole's Catherine turned a complete somersault at the hencoop, and though the rider also went over like a Catherine-wlieel he escaped injury. Coates' Zephyr gave a good rvhibition of jumping and was a popular winner. In the nony jumping the jumping was very uniform. Miss Bella Knox (Te Popo) won the prize for best rider under 17, am! the Wanganni horsewoman was successful in the class for ladies. The trotting competition v,-as a dud between the veteran CI ill' and a new horse. Proud Bess. The decision went to the latter, but not till the judges had required another trial before decision went against the Eltbam horse. The draughts drew fair competition and the horses were shown in fine conditin. So large were the entries for sheep that the judge had no light task, in fact to I expedite the work it was necesrary to 1 secure a second judce. and then it was well on in the afternoon before the \ judging was complete. Every class was keenly contested, and some very fine specimens were shown. The judges expressed themselves as well pleased with the quality of the sheep penned which were well on to previous years. The work of judging all the sheep is exeeed- • ingly heavy, and next year the Society may, with advantage, increase the number of judges in this class to two or , three. I Pigs were numerically stronger than I last year, but the number penned was not wlpt should he expected for a district where the pig is such a valuable side line- The judge saiiU'they were a splendid lot, fit to be sliown whereThere is an interesting d'splay of green : feed in connection with the green feed i competition, and, in addition, Mr. Lux- ! ton is showing some fine samples of lucerne, and Mr. Blackball ofJapanese buck wheat and prairie gra=s. for exhibition only. Other exhibits Include Chinese millet and Soudan grass. The following is the detailed prize list: — CATTLE. PEDIGREE SHORTHORNS. Bull born since July, 1014: A. F.

PEOPLE'S DAY—TO-DAY. For Peoples' Day, to-day, it is confld J ently expected there wHll be a very large! crowd, as the train arrangements suit the country people admirably, while the, tram ararngements should suit townspeople. The grand parade, which tak£S place at 1.30 p.m., should alone make the journey 1o the grounds worth while. In addition, there is the remainder of the horse judging and the "ring events, including the hunters' jumping competition, both gentlemen and ladies, chase style, pony jumping, etc. The Citizens'' Band under Bandmaster McLeod, will contribute a fine progranme of music. Luncheon and afternoon tea Will also be procurable, the catering being done by the Indies, who are also in charge' of a softd rinks and ice cream stall. Mr. E. Whittle has charge of the refresh* ment booth.
