DOMINION SHOW.

THE OPENING CEREMONY. ADDRESS BY HON. J. A. HANAN. The opening of the tenth Dominion and Great Peace Winter Show took place yesterday. The weather was most unfavorable, and during the early part of the afternoon there was a heavy down' fall of rain. The official ceremony took place at 2.30 by the Hon. J. A. Hanap, Minister for Education.

Mr. D. J. Goodwin, president of the Show Committee, said he had much pleasure, on behalf of the Winter Show Committee, in welcoming Mr. Hanan, whom he wished to thank for his presence that day. They had designated the show the "Great Peace Show," and they were pleased to fiiid that peace had been signed before the opening of the show. There was another peace which they hoped for and which it was most desirable shoifld come soon, namely, the peace between Capital and Labor. The Mayor, Mr. E. Dixon, speaking first in regard to the signing of peace, said that it was not till 3.45 yesterday that the Post Office received word to fly the New Zealand ensign, and up to the present moment he had received no official notice that peace had been sigried. He considered that a message should have beep sent to' the Mayor of each town, so'that it could have been read to the people. He had been asked \.hy the fire bell did not ring, but he was very cautious, seeing that there had already been one false alarm. At this stage the Mayor said they all rejoiced that peace had been signed, and, at his invitation, all present sang the National Anthem. Continuing, he said it was a great privilege, as Mayor, to welcome the Mayor to the district. He only regretted that the Taranaki Education Board was not sufficiently far advanced with the new technical school for the Minister to lay the foundation stone. He congratulated the directors on their, splendid show, and, after referring to .the fine buildings in which the show was held, said he hoped that pressure could be brought to bear upon the Government in regard to the railway service for people desiring ,to visit the show. After all the arrangements for the show had been made, and while they were in the midst of the show, trains were to be practically done away with. He did not know committee was going to face the loss. Something should he done to cope with the position. He hoped the people of the town and surrounding district would show their appreciation of the show, and by their patronage prevent loss to the directors. He congratulated the directors on their excellent 'show and the progressive spirit %his part of Taranaki was showing. ■ He hoped their success would spur them on to greater efforts.

Mr. E. Masters-jliainnan of the Education Board, saialffr. Hanan was keenly interested in the work of his department, and had taken a great interest in education throughout Taranaki. They had reason to be thankful 'for his practical sympathy. He referred to the large sum of from £IO,OOO to £12,000 to be expended,on the Technical High School, also to other new schools now being erected in the district, adding that, while so much had been done here, he did not think Taranaki more favored than other parts of the Dominion. He trusted the show would be successful The Hon. J. A. Hanan, who was received with applause, said he .was not going to touch on any of the controversial questions named by his Worship. The feeling uppermost with all was that of satisfaction that peace bad been signed. This lifted from the minds of all [ a strain and anxiety such as they were ! seldom called upon to bear. They had triumphed over an aggressive and truculent nation whose god was brute force, and in this they had cause for deep thankfulness. The cause of freedom, humanity, and right had triumphed and 'the great international Magna Charta had been signed. They might now hope that the kindly light would lead them on and that the light of peace would shine more brightly. He referred to the gallantry of the soldiers who had upheld our high ideals and had added a glorious page to the histoif of .their country. When he surveyed the magnificent show and saw the great improvements .that had been made in machinery and transport he could not help being struck with the great changes that had taken place in New Zealand during the past 20 years These should make them recognise' their deep debt of gratitude to the pioneers who laid the foundations of the progress and prosperity they were now enjoying, and whfch imposed upon them the duty of carrying on the work. The more he thought of the self-denial and courage of these men the .more convinced he w»s tha,tf agriculture was the basis of all progress. They woufd have to foster their agricultural. industries. If there a' time When there was need to protade further widening the foundations,dgpro*Mion that time was now. This vfes:,niceßsary in order that the.? might |s|*J<S to meet their liabilities,in connection'wwh the increased national debt.

They heard ftlot in thele days., jfoout: co-operationi'-arid if any person-was-.interested in this it was the farmers Af£er dealing with'the v*iue of [co-operation, the-Minister said that, as (Minister for Education, he was not inte£- | ested only in the education of the ehi|[dren, but in their success in* after lif|. ; He - alluded to certain departments ft the show for exhibits by school children, which, he said, had greatly impresses him, and-he wished to congratulate the teachers and scholars on the high quality of the work. He was pleased to see exhibitions of work in connection with domestic instruction. It was their duty to see that systematic education and training was given to those who were to be the future mothers and housekeepers in this country. Referring to the educational progress that had been made, he said it was a healthy sign. If the Empire is to maintain its proud position, .they must see that the young people receive a sound education and were well disci•plined. They wanted not only to see wßjai: they Valued so highly preserved, but they wan.ted it to grow greater and grander. The Empire to-day was largely in the hands of the young people, and when they thought of the gwat in-

was their duty to give ,the children that educatipn that would enable them to do the best that was in them. The Minister then declared the show open, with cordial wishes for the prosperity of the people and the district.

The chairman stated that he had just received a telegram from the Minister for Railways stating that he hoped to help them by putting on trains to suit the Winter Show. Three cheers were then given- for the Minister. THE EXHIBITS.

The staging of the exhibits left nothing to be desired, the huge hall with its many compartments lending itself to effective display. The exhibits were also well classified, while ample spaces were left for the public. Though there are many rooms and a portion of the exhibits are in the West Coast Refrigerating Company's new buildings, passage-ways were provided, so that visitors had easy access to every department. The building had been lavishly decorated by the show committee, numberless flags suspended from the ceiling relieving the bareness and making a pretty and attractive sight and giving a touch of gaiety which befitted the occasion. The exhibits were very numerous, and one of the outstanding features was the large number of milking machines, which were of every make known to Taranaki. The exhibits had, been installed for actual demonstration purposes, and everything was as it should be in a model cow byre, even to the cow bails. These machines occupied the greater portion of one side of a large room. Opposite, in the same room, were every kind of farm implement and device known in the cultivation of the soil. The motor car exhibits, with tractors, motor lorries, waggons, and various means of transport, took up a great deal of space and claimed much attention, especially from* farmers. An exhibit which, in those days when so much is heard about the cost of building, could not be passed over was made by Mr. Young, builder, who set out, in a neat model, his ideas of a concrete house. The cheese and butter were well staged tmd were given an important place. The home industries classes were well filled, and the great variety and good appearance of the cookery, preserves, and other .comestibles was very creditable to the. exhibitors. There was an exceptionally fine lot of entries in the classes for roots, and some splendid samples of all the best known varieties of swedes, mangolds, carrots, etc., were effectively l shown. The entries of garden vegetables were not very numerous, but this section always has its own special interest, and if the classes were weak in the. number of entries the same could not be eaid of the quality of the exhibits. The Technical School made a display that was very creditable to the pupils and their instructors, \md where possible every kind of instruction given at the school was represented by exhibits. Touching again on the home industries section, too much praise could not be bestowed upon the fancy work, which waß of a very high elass and uniformly good. Many side shows occupied spaces and each received attention from the public according to its merits. Refreshments were obtainable in a large room, in which a strong orchestra played during the afternoon. The secretary, Mr. Hooker, with his staff, had organised the show in a thorough and painstaking way, and, as might be expected, everything went smoothly from the commencement

TO-DAY. To-day will be the half-holiday in Hawera, and there should be a large •ttendance at the show. It is expected that the train service will affect this attendance, but some concessions are promised by the Minister of Railways, which will minimise the danger of loss which was at first threatened. THE SCHOOL SECTION. The school section, whifh is particularly catered for by this society, shows very much increased entries, especially in the classes for writing and essays, in which handsome challenge shields are awarded; Last year both these challenge shields were annexed by West End School. This year competition is m'uch wider, schools in the Taranaki and Wanganui Education Boards having freely entered. The Bennett and Sutton Challenge Shield for writing is won by Oaonui School by the narrow margin of two points from West End, the totals being 38 to 36. In the essay competitions West End again wins with 40 points, Petone Convent being second with 'BS points, and then comes Hawera Central with 4.
