STRATFORD SHOW

A RECORD ATTENDANCE. (30VERNOR-G ENKRAL PRESENT. FURTHER AWARUS. The second day of the Stratford Show yesterday—People's Day—was favored by fine weather, and there was a record attendance of about 0000, the gate takings showing an increase of over £SO compared with last year. The officials have every reason to congratulate themselves on the results achieved, for the completeness of the arrangement!) and the general excellence of the exhibits ensured an attractive exhibition. There was a distinct touch of summer in the weather yesterday, and these conditions attracted visitors front all parts of Taranaki. From early morning all Toads led to Stratford, motor cars, motor cycles, buggies, gigs, and even milk wagons being requisitioned to convey settlers ■ and townspeople to Stratford. Additional interest was given rthis year in the opportunity afforded of seeing Lord Jellieoe, the Governor-General, who visited the show during the day. By the time appointed for the Gover-nor-General's visit the attendance was a record, a striking idea of the crowd being provided when they massed around the grandstand lawn to welcome his Excellency, and again when they were assembled round the ring to witness the grand parade. The grand parade was indeed a magnificent spectacle, the animals presenting a most striking sight and one that could not fail to impress upon even the mo:-t casual observer the importance of Taranaki's wealth producers. Early in the day judging of the remaining classes commenced, and was proceeded with expeditiously, so that by the tim» set down for the parade, which wao admirably marshalled by Mr. A. Stewart, .assisted bv Meters K. M. Phillips and C. Jackson, everything had been completed, save the competitions, which occupied the arena diirirfg the afternoon, and helped to interest the crowd to the end. 7'lie catering, which was in the hands of the ladifls' eomrrlittee, was of a high order. 1 The Pressmen, though working undlf diffioul! ies as regards accommodation have to thank the Press steward (Mr. H. Masters). During the afternoon a programme of i music was contributed by the Stratford ! Salvation Army Rand, under the conduetorship of Bandmaster Geard, late of Waihi.

Pletje, wus a beautiful row, and iiroliably the best Friesian seen out in the North Island this year, and with a little more style in her carriage would be hard to beat. Rnu. beat the Palmerston winner fairl}', the latter not showing the same udder development One or two good cows showed signs of age and over showing. In (he tlvree-vear-oia heifers there was nothing outstanding, tut there were several very promising ones in the two-year-olds. Tie yearlings wc-ic distinctly a credit to the district, and tool; some time to sort out. The winner, though not the size of some of the others, showed quality and type. In bulls, the champion owned by \Y. I. Lavi>lock, wins shown in bettor condition than in Palmerston North, beating the reserve on dairy conformation and quality. T'ie bulls as a whole were not up to the standard of the females as representative of (he Friesian breed, though the yearlings are a fair class.
