NORMANBY SHOW.

AN EXCELLENT DISPLAY. LIST OF THE AWARDS The thirty-seventh show under the auspices of the Normanby Horticultural, Poultry and General Produde Society was opened yesterday. It easily establishes a record in the number of entries, which were close on 1300. Not only are the entries good from the point of view of number. but the quality also speaks, volumes for the productivity of the district and the care and attention shown by the exhibitors. The arrangement of the exhibits reflects credit on the committee, of which Mr. R. J. Linn is the indefatigable president, and Mr. G. H. Mills the capable secretary. It would be difficult to find a better managed show. Though the entries were very large, everything ran very sunoothly, and the exhibits were all displayed in such a way as not to detract from the effect. The society has a good deal of space at its command, and the best use was made of this. The society’s own hall was occupied by the pot plants, which made a magnificent showing, and also by the nurserymen’s displays, Duncan and Davies (New Plymouth), C. C. Rasmussen (Aramoho), A. J. Shailer (Palmerston North), G. H. Mills (Normanby), and H. G. Staub (Hawera) being represented. Mr. Staub had a fine display of pot plants and asparagus ferns, also gerbera (South African daisies) and asters, as well as a choice collection of spring flowering bulbs. The cookery section also found a place in this hall. In the annexe jams, fruits, potatoes, and the collection of vegetables were staged, the root, and farm produce, etc., being provided for in the lean-to, the whole jnaklng a splendid display. The public hall opposite was devoted to the cut blooms and decorative section, and a charming display it made, whilst the fancy work had its place in the entrance hall.

The judges had a busy time, but with the exception of one or two classes everything was ready at the time set down for opening. Mr. R. J. Linn, the president, in introducing Mr. A. Lees, remarked that it was appropriate that the show should be opened by a member of the Education Board, as the educative value of shows was well known. He pointed out that New Plymouth, In obtaining 500 entries, considered it had put up a good

performance, therefore Normanby must consider it had done wonderfully well in having nearly 1300 entries.

Mr. Lees said that education, while not neglecting the inside studies, recognised the value of children being taught agriculture and a study of nature. Farmers’ clubs were doing great work in connection with the growing of root crops. He congratulated the district on having held a show for 39 years without a break, and he said that the present show was undoubtedly a great credit to them. The exhibitions of flowers, pot plants, vegetables and farm produce were particularly good. One had often heard It said that Taranaki was not a fruit-growing district, but the display of apples showed what could be done by attention and care. In declaring the show open he pai<L a tribute to the work done by the officials, and particularly the chairman and the secretary.

Mr. Rowe, who was one of the originators of the show, and who has been associated with it ever since, referred to its ups and downs, and congratulated them on .he new lease of life. He urged members to make an effort to wipe the debt off the building, promising a donation.

During the afternoon a pony jumping competition was held, with Mr. McL. Dowie (Ma tapu) as judge. It was won by B. Wilson (Ararata) with J. McDonald (Nbnnanby'i second.
