EGMONT SHOW.

A SUCCESSFUL FUNCTION. LARGE ENTRIES OP HIGH QUALITY. Everything points to the Eguiont Show, which opened at Hawera yesterday, 'being one of the most successful yet held .by the Association Despite the fact that farm work was considerably disorganised for some weeks during the recent epidemic, the entries show an increase of over 100 as compared with last year, exhibitors- being present from all parts of Taranaki. as well as from outside districts. The l main increase is in sheep, Priesians and draught horses. The quality of the exhigits is also of a good average- As oc fitting a dairying district, pedigree milking stock figure prominently, Friesians beiing (strongly in evidence, whilst Jerseys still maintain their popularity. There is also very strong competition in Ayrshres, whilst the show of milking Shorthorns is probably the foest ever penned on the ground There is not a big yarding of fat stock, but quality Is still well maintained. Sheep make a very good section, competition being particularly keen in the Lincoln?, whilst in the Border- Liecesters, although there were only two competitions the quality was good, and the awards were well l>alanced The same may be said of Romney Marsh, notwithstanding the fact that there is only one exhibitor. There is a splendid exhibit of Southdowns, the average being four Bhecp in each class. There l is not much competition in pedigree pigs, but in the class for bacon factory purposes, in which there were ten competitors, the quality was very high, in fact the best class of its kind penned at Hawera- The judge (Mr S. R. Lancaster) had a difficult task in making his awards. As usual at Hawera. there is a splendid display of horsea. particularly in the draught section, whilst there is a tim; entry and keen competition in the hack, harness and pony divisions, exhibitors j being present from the Wanganui, M*ri ton, Keilding, Hastings, and Wellington districts-

In the home industries there is a fine display, hut many classes lacked competition. The majority of the competitors hailed from South Taranaki, thougli in some sections there are competitors from, as far away as Wellington.

Favored with beautiful weather conditions the attendance was very good for a first day, the gate takings showing an increase on last year. Judging was commenced early and the stewards kept the judging rings full, enabling the judges to get through their work with expedition, and though some of the classes in the cattle were very heavy, the award cards were posted very quickly; with the result that early in the afternoon the public were able to wander round the pens and criticise the prize winners. The results also came forward to the press tent in good time, enabling the reporters to get through tl;cir work. Complete arrangements had Wn made for the successful conduct of the show, and everything went smoothly. The president, Mr A. L. Campbell, was most assiduous in.his attention to all, whilst the secretary, Mr A. D. Perkins, is to 'be congratulated on the completeness of the organisation in his department, everything being provided for. The press also have to thank him for many little attentions, particularly for the prompt way in which he unravelled any little tangles that occurred in the prize awards through lata entries being admitedThere is much to interest and amuse visitors apart from the show pens and ring, for there are numerous machinery displays and some splendid side shows. The catering, which was in the hands of Dtistin, Ltd, is up to that firm's high standard. PEOPLE'S DAY TO-DAY. Given a continuance of the present fine weather conditions, there is certain to be a record attendance at the grounds to-day, -'People's Day" A hnlf-holiday is 'being observed in the town, enabling townspeople to attend, whilst for the country people, who do not rely on their own motors or traps, a suitable service of delayed trains hns been arranged. Visitors will find much to interest them. The criyid parade, which takes place at 2 p.m., alone should be well worth witnesisng, whilst the ring events in the afternoon will prove a great attraction The motor car and machinery displays will undoubtedly interest many, whilst for those whoseHrend is to the lighter vein, there is a variety of side shows, some of which arc of a high order The Hawcra hand will 3 contribute a programme of music during the afternoon.
