STRATFORD SHOW

THE OPENING DAY. great display of dairy stock. FULL LIST OF AWARDS. The weather conditions were very disappointing to the officials of the Stratford A. and P. Association yesterday, on the occasion of the opening of their annual spring show, for it rained practically all the morning and well into the afternoon. This not only made matters very unpleasant for those who had to assist in the manifold duties of running a show successfully, but also interfered with the attendance. The officials of the association have worked hard during the past few months to ensure the success of the show, and they have been well supported by breeders, particularly of dairy cattle. As a result 'the show again demonstrates that Stratford is the centre of a rich dairying district, and that Taranaki is the borne of the Jersey. The latter make up a very strong section, representative of the' whole of Taranaki Competition was very keen, particularly in the yearling classes, the heifers drawing 32 entries and the bulls 25. The association adopted the idea of having separate judges for the females and the bulls, thus enabling the work to be more expeditiously carried out. The championship in cows came to Bell Block, being annexed by Mr. Salway’s Eileen’s Treasure, whilst Mr. W. Pollock's (Stratford) Pecuarius was adjudged champion in the bull classes. Friesians were the next strongest class, some splendid quality animals being shown. In Ayrshires, Mr. W. Hall and Olsen Bros, were the principal exhibitors, the former scoring heavily, including both championships and reserves. Pedigree milking Shorthorns were a much stronger section than usual, the judge considering the champion cow an exceptionally good one, whilst many of the others showed good milking points. In the crossbred section the judge (Mr. E. A. Washer) remarked that the competition is very fair, and some good animals are shown In the aged cow class the winner was owned by Mr. J. T. Hammond, and proved to be the same animal that won in this class three years ago. The same owner also won in the pair class with a couple of very even animals, which stood out on their own, indeed, he considered the difficulty was to obtain an even pair. Mr. J. T. Hammond was the principal exhibitor in these classes. Fat stock were not very strongly represented. In the sheep classes, competition was not very keen. Messrs. Blair and Hunter (Maxwelltown) scored in Romney Marsh, Mr. A. J. Coleman (Ngaere) in Lincolns, Mr. A. H. Bowen (Toko) in Southdowns, and Mr. H. Farley (Westmere) in grades. In fat sheep Mr. A. H*. Tomlinson scored heavily. In the pig section competition was stronger than usual, but there is still room for further interest in this profitable side line of dairying. In horses, competition is not as strong as might be expected, but there is some fine quality. Mr. F. Perry, as usual, scores heavily in draughts, whilst Mr. W T . H. Gray (Midhirst) showed a three-year-old that took the eye of the judge very much. In light horses there is good competition, whilst the ponies have also drawn well, the quality in both cases being 7 good. The jumping generally was up to the usual high standard, especially the maiden jumping. The winner of the competition for jumping in steeplechase style put in a perfect round. The industrial section has also filled well, the ladies of the district showing their keen interest in the society’s welfare by competing freely, whilst the comprehensive minor section has also filled well.

It speaks well for the excellent organisation, and the keenness of the officials, that, despite the very unfavorable climatic conditions, everything proceeded without a hitch, and the judging was got off expeditiously, the stewards of the various sections showing that thev knew their work by doing it well. Mr.' Geo. Sang ter, the president, and the members of the committee, also did their part well, none more so than the capable secretary (Mr. A. J. Barr, A feature of the show is the excellent catering, which'is in the hands of a strong ladies’ committee, with the result that the dining room has been most attractively arranged, and the menu and service leave nothing to be desired. . There are a considerable number oi interesting trade displays on the ground, whilst the side shows are all worthv of patronage. Following are the awards as far as completed yesterday. HORSES.

The show will be continued to-day, and, given fine weather, there should be a record attendance, as special train arrangements have been made, providing that trains leave New Plymouth and Hawera at 9.45 a.m. for Stratford. Visitors will find much to interest them, as there is the balance of the dairy classes to judge, whilst the ring will be a scene of interest all day, the judging of the horse events taking place in the morning, whilst at 2 p.m. there will be the grand parade, followed by the competitions. The competitions include the open hunters’ competition, which has drawn 20 as well as maiden hunters, lady huntera, wire jumping, pony leaping, etc. The trade display's and side shows should also prove attractive. The catering will again be in the hands of the ladies, whilst a programme of music will be given by the Salvation Army Band. C. MOORE. INTERESTING BUILDING EXHIBITS.

An exhibit which will interest every householder is the display of doors, windows, mantelpieces, etc., which Mr. C. Moore, proprietor of the Stratford Joinery Factory, has provided 'in a shed situated opposite the back of the grandstand. Although Mr. Moore has only been in business in Stratford for about 12 months, he has built many houses in the town and surrounding districts, which are lasting monuments of good and thorough workmanship. Included in the exhibition at the show are photographs of residences which Mr. Moore has erected during the past twelve months. There are also photographs and plans of buildings which Mr. Moore erected in Dunedin, including the big business premises of Messrs. Turnbull and Jones, and the Dunedin Drill Shed. - Coming to the actual samples of workmanship, the first thing that strikes the eye is the bungalow windows with which the stand is fitted. It is sufficient to say that before 10 o’clock on Wednesday a visitor to the exhibit had ordered similar windows for ' his own place. French easement doors are fitted to the entrance, and inside there is a sample of the doors manufactured in the factory, a figured rimu door, which, like the other exhibits, was picked from the ordinary stock in hand. Two mantel-pieces, one in beautiful figured Oregon and the other in rimu, are striking samples of craftsmanship. Mr. Moore lately imported a large quantity of Seandia Woodboard, the principal uses of which are for building (such as linings, walls, ceilings and partitions), and for box-making. Scandia is comprised of pressed wood-pulp, of Swedish make, and, being perfectly weatherproof, is in popular use for small buildings, such as garages, poultry houses week-end cottages, etc. A number ot houses built in New South Wales seven and eight years ago are still in the very best of condition. Actual samples ot work are the best recommendations that any'bian can have, and Mr. Moores exhibit is a testimony of the all-roiind excellence which has already his work well-known throughout the Stratford district.
