STRATFORD SHOW.

THE OPENING DAY , FINE SHOW OF JERSEYS, [ RECORD ATTENDANCE. I ' The Stratford A. P. Association's I eleventh annual spring .show opened when mosi of the judging [was completed. The we'a'the'r conditions were not altogether favorable, a strong j gusty Wind blowing throughout the day, and occasional showers of rain falling. I By the afternoon, however, the conditions improved slightly, and the attendance constituted a record for a first day. As is usual, the first day was mainly occupied in getting through the Judging and preparing for the crowd which attends on People's Day. Judging commenced promptly, and except in the cattle section, where some confusion wa9 caused in the grade and cross-bred classes, everything went off without a hitch. The new cattle pavilion, which is in Use for the first time, is an improvement to the appointments, and is much appreciated by exhibitors of valuable dairy stock. Another alteration has been made this year, the dog pavilion having been converted into an industrial hall, the dogs now being housed in a marquee near the main gate. In the cattle section pedigree Jerseys and Friesiana are the strongest classes, the entries being numerous and including some of the t>est stocK in the Dominion. Sheep are a comparatively small class, although what is shown is good. Thi3 also applies to pigs. The Association deserves to be specially commended for ifs excellent luncheon arrangements, this department being conducted by the Association under the management of Mrs. G. Sangster, wife of the president, and lady assistants. Tlie tea kiosk, under the charge of Mrs. J. W. Boon and her assistants, was also well managed. The secretary, Mr. A. J. Ban, had all his arrangements well prepared for the show, and to him is due much of the credit for the smooth running of everything. He was ably assisted by a volunteer staff of workers. THE CLASSES. COMMENTS ON THE EXHIBITS. The entry of horses showed a gooil improvement on the number at last year's show, but. the quality of those exhibited was somewhat disappointing. The horses shown in the classes for draughts were of a useful type for farm purposes, but few of them were up to show standard. Mr. P. E. Garvey's thoroughbred Campflre yearling colt is a fine upstanding animal showing plenty of quality. Sixty-four dogs were exhibited, which is hardly as many a« last show, but the quality was very good, some particularly fine dogs being shown. The best classes were the Gordon setters, smooth and rough coated and working collies, and the cocker spaniels. * The entries in these classes were numerous and the quality good. Dogs came from Auckland and Wellington. The special prize for the best dog in the show was won bv Mr. J. D .Willis, New Plymouth, "Cli. ■ Brae Lady," who was also the winner of the ladies' bracelet. Some very good pigs were exhibited, but the entry in this section was disappointing, there being very little com- | petition, and the judge. Mr. G. Castle, of Hawera, expressed his surprise that the section had not gone ahead as it should do. CATTLE SECTION. Pedigree Jerseys are a notable feature of the show, there being 187 entries in these classes. Mr. H. B Lepper's (Lepperton) cow Elf's Beauty was awarded the championship, the judge remarking that this is a very nice cow, her strong feature being her udder. The championship in the bull classes was awarded to Messrs Linn Bros.' (Normanby) bull Willowbrook Lord. The judge stated that this buil stood in a class by itself as regards character and quality, and should have a great future. In the class for yearling bulls, Mr. W. Pollock's Pruarius, a half-brother to the champion bull, aecured~the first prize. Mr. A. A. Ward's Miro, the winner of the class for three-year-old cows under semi-official milk and butter-fat tests, is, in the opinion of the judge, a splendid type of dairy cow, and should be a splendid milker. This cow was awarded the reserve championship. The winners of the first and second prizes in the class for three-year-old heifers are two of the most typical type of Jersey cattle in the show, and showed a good deal of quality. There is nothing outstanding about the two-year-old heifers, and although the entry of yearlings is very large, Mr. F. Ranford's Abbertv May, which secured first prize, and Mr. E. Griffiths' Viola's flolden Gem, winner of the second prize, were of a good type with very little between them. There was, however, nothing outstanding in this class apart from the winners. Mr. F. Ranford's bull Achievement of Willowbank, which is the winner of numerous championships, failed to secure the championship this year, the judge stating that although it is a very good, strong, useful bull, he had to place WillowbrooE Lord before it for tlie championship. In the three-year-old bulls, Mr. W. A. Guy's Fox's Ring is a nice animal, But showed rather much condition. The two-year-old bulls and the yearling bulls are also good classes. In the Fricsian section additional interest was added by the fact that the Affodiation's North Tsland championships were allotted to this show, so that the leading Taranaki breeders were in competition with the best from other parts of the North Island. The championship in the female class was secured by Mr. V. Marx, of Mangatoki, with Alcartra Clothilde Pietje, who warbred by Mr. Newton King, whilst the well-known Palmerston breeder (Mr. W. I. Lovelock) secured the hull champion. A good deal of confusion was caused in tke sections for gTades and crossbreds, owing to grades being allowed to compete against crossbreds, thus giving them two chances instead of one. The grade Jerseys are a very good lot, and the judge expressed the opTnion that Mr. J. T. Hammond's Violet was fit for exhibition in any show, being of a particularly good miiTdng type. The two-year-old heifers could be improved upon, but the yearlings were good. Only four ,grade Friesians were exhibited, but these were not in good condition. The only grade milking Shorthorn exhibited 1% entered by Mr. R. KefleVf-

of Stratford, and is a very fine type of dairy cow. In the crossbred section competition is keener and the stock is of a good average type. Although the entry of pedigree milking shorthorns was small, the few that were exhibited Were of good quality, notI ably in the pedigree classes. I In the Ayrshire class, competition was mainly between the well-known South Taranaki and North Taranaki breeders, Messrs F. Mills and W. Hall respectively,, the first-named scoring in the majority of the classes, and thus winning outright Mr. J. W. Boon's handsome challenge trophy valued at 10 guineas, which he also won last year. CHEVROLET CARS. Three splendid models of these cars are exhibited by the sole agents, Messrs. Thomas and Johnson, of New. Plymouth. The "Royal Mail" model is a beautifully finished car which has individuality. It has not followed the usual style, and the body has been upholstered in such a way as to make it extremely comfortable for the passengers. Equal attention is given to each important feature of its construction, mechanical sturdiness, proper weight, safety, economy, appearance and convenience all being ideally combined in this splendid car. The cars are shown with wire wheels and also with artillery wheels, the wire wheels having ah advantage over the latter as regards smoother running. A two-seater car is also shown which is a thoroughly satisfactory car in every- respect. Tlie five-seater model is guaranteed to rim 30 miles on a gallon of benzine and 1000 miles on a gallon of oil, thi3 making it one of the cheapest cars to run. Two of these cars have been supplied to the New Plymouth Borough Council, and are giving every satisfaction. FARMERS' CO-OP. EXHIBIT. The Pan-American car, which is exhibited at the Stratford Show by the Farmers' Co-operative Organisation Society, is regarded as the best six cylinder car produced in America. It is perfectly balanced and roomy without being bulky, and has throughout the fineness of finish and detail of much higher-priced cars. It has many advantages over the average motor car, being comfortable, safe and substantial, while the operating cost is extremely low. The Pan-American is upholstered in leather and is fitted with wire wheels, this ensuring the greatest possible comfort. It is also equipped with five tyres. This splendid car is so constructed to stand the severest motoring conditions without failing or faltering, and it can always be depended upon. The price, considering the many special advantages of the Pan-American is remarkably low. Another excellent ear exhibited by the Farmers' Co-op. is the Hupmobiie of which a five-seater and three-seater are on exhibition. The five-seater model is a beautiful car and is equipped with a number of extras designed to add to the comfort and convenience of the driver and passengers. Extra back and side wind screens are provided and the car as a whole is excellently finished The Hupmobiie car has been designed to meet the demands of the most important section of the motor buying public—that seetipn which demands a relatively light car at the lowest price which insures the best in engineering, material and workmanship. In this respect it fills the bill adequately. A threeseater Hupmobiie fitted with a colonial body is also shown, also a Chevrolet with colonial body. The Farmers' Co-op. are the New Zealand agents for the Magic Rubber Mend, which has proved itself the best preparation for quickly and satisfactorily mending cuts in tyres and vulcanising the outside casing. To-day a free demonstration of this new and important discovery will bo made at the showground, and any car owner who brings damaged tubes along will have them repaired free of cost. The Magic Rubber Mend will splice a tube, put on new valve pads, patch valve pads and splices, quickly and permanently Tepair long rents or tears as easily as it will a small puncture, and permanently TepaiT cuts or blisters in tubes or casings. The demonstration should be of particular interest to farmers owning motor cars.

CHAMPION FARM AND GARDEN SEEDS. Four large air-tight tanks full of Webb's pedigree seeds, exactly as they have arrived from England, comprise an interesting exhibit made by Messrs. Gaustad, Marlow and Co., Ltd., Waitara, the sole district agents for these seeds. Webb's seeds are grown and tested at Stonebridge, England, and are sent to Gaustad, Marlow and Co. in air-tight tanks, thus ensuring that there shall be no loss of fertility through being brought to New Zealand. The seeds have proved themselves champions all over the world and a photograph is shown in the exhibit of a record prop of turnips grown from Webb's seeds by Mr. M. Gernhoefer, of Toko. The crop was 69 tons to the acre and was the winner of the field acreage competition held in conjunction with the New Plymouth Winter Show. The turnip seeds supplied by the local agents comprise Imperial Green Globe. Purple Top, Mammoth, Devonshire Grcystone, Early Six Weeks, Renown, Invincible, Yellow Scotch or Bullock, Romney Marsh, Aberdeen Green Globe and Aberdeen Purple Top; and the swedes comprise Masterpiece, Imperial and Superlative. Orders for all other varieties of Webb's seeds can be booked at the stand at the showgrounds to-day. Results are as follows : HORSES. THOROUGHBRED. Colt, filly or gelding, from Aug 1914. P. E.
