The Taranaki Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s forty-seventh annual show, which opened on the grounds at Waiwakaiho yesterday, had received a good U lip from the outset in the shape of record entries, and the exhibition fulfilled rhe expectations held that it would be a record. Numerically the entries were approximately one hundred over last year’s total, which stood as the high-water mark in the history of tha association. In addition to its natural influence on the success of the show, the growth of die entries also demonstrates the increased interest which is being taken in Hie fixture by exhibitors, not only throughout Taranaki, but also in other parts of the island. The weather in the earlier part of yesterday morning did not give promise of being ’avorable, and threatening clouds gathered up to the westward, accompanied oy a couple of light showers. Early in the- afternoon, however, the skies cleared and the day was beautifully fine. Judging continued throughout, and

some of the officials had a xormid a task, as many of the sections were heavy ones, particularly in the cattle classes. Ring competitions were carried on in the afternoon and were a source of much interest. Prior to the commencing of the jumping events, the spectators were treated to a novel item. The motor car, which has displaced the i horse in many spheres, was given another test of adaptability—a leaping competition. A five-seater car, driven up an inclined platform at a good speed, cleared a gap of some feet to land on a sloping platform on the other side.

The attendance yesterday was quite up to that of previous opening days. The show officials were as one in the effort to expedite the work of judging and attend to the convenience of exhibitors, and the workers were under the able guidance of Messrs. W. B. Grant (president) and W. P. Okey (secretary). The ladies’ committee, who have been such staunch supporters of the society, again did good work in the catering department, the luncheon and afternoon tea being capably managed. Evidences of the association’s progressive policy may be found in the improvements to the general appointments. These include the roofing of a third cattle pavilion, and alterations to the grandstand. In addition to the enclosing of the eastern end it is intended to adopt shutters for the protection of the stand during the year. THE CATTLE. Reports on the cattle sections were entirely favorable as to quality, and yith the big entry liet there wm *

great show of dairy stock. Competition in the Jerseys was exceptionally keen. The championship in the malts went to Mr. A. A. Ward's (Tariki) Miro Meadows Maori Boy, the reserve being awarded to Mr. W. Johnson’s (Ngaere) Achievement of Willowbank. The two-year-old Pecuarius, owned ’by Mr. W. Pollock, of Stratford, which gained first in its class, and was also the champion at Stratford and Hawera, was beaten by the older bulls for the championship. The judge, Mr. T. D. Reid, of Auckland, remarked that the two-year-olds were quite a nice lot, especially the first and second. Pecuarius, the winner, is also the sire of Mr. Pollock’s Jersey Park’s Gipsy Duke, which gained second in the class for bull calves, in which there were twenty-seven entries. The winner in the latter class wfts Mr. R. C. Henry’s (Bell Block) Poplarvale Optician. The judge remarked that calves are often an uncertain quantity, but this class throughout were rather a good lot. Of the females the first prize yearling heifer, Mr. H. C. Sampson’s Viola's Lady Mercedes, was a particularly good beast. The three cows, the property of Mr. F. W. Cornwall, which filled the places in the four-year class, were of quite the Island Jersey type, such as are seen at shows in England. All were by the sire Hollybank’s Squire. The two-year-old Oakland’s Belle Mahone, which gained first in its class, also got the decision in the championship, the reserve award going to Oakland's Princess. Classes for heifer calves were a great success. The breeders’ group produced a fine showing, the entry including G. H. Bell’s (Oakura) Viola’s Golden Laddie. The progeny were the property of different owners, Viola's Golden Fern and Viola’s Golden Queen Bess belonging to Mr. R. Cobbe (Feilding), and Viola’s Lady Mercedes was the property of Mr. H. C. Sampson. IMPROVED AYRSHIRES. “A decided improvement on anything I have seen for a considerable time,” said Mr. J. Kyle, the judge, in speaking of the Ayrshire section. As a dairying type of Ayrshire, he said, the cows were a fine class. Some had been a considerable time in milk. The champion cow was under semi-official test, and had been milked for seven months, and that the animal was able to carry off the championship after this showed she was a good type. This animal, Fancy of Armadale, owned by Mr. W. Hall, of Lepperton, has been under test since August 17. and up till the end of January had produced 3241hs of butter-fat in the five and a half njonths. She Ipd gained the championship at Stratfofd and Hawera, and at the former place was also given first place for the best dairy cow.

The yearling heifers were an exceptionally strong class, full of quality, and there was little to choose between the first six. The same applied to the pairs. The champion bull was Mr. W. F. Olson’s (Egmont Village) Culcaigie of Braeside, and Mr. W. Half’s Dom nion Beauty’s Bonus was runner-up. The judge of the Friesians. Mr. W. T. Woods, of Auckland, notice/ an improvement numerically in this sect’on compared with his previous experiences of the Taranaki show and remarked that the stock .was of a good class. The championship was awa-ded tG the aged bull, Mr. R. Castle’s (Mana'.i) Holland Queen Son, whicn, in the judge’s opinion, was calculated to sire the tesi milking stock. M r . F.\ W. Hoskin secured reserve champion-.i ip with Mynheer Segis Galat ea. 3he y air.ger- cla.-.-es were good, especially the heifers, and Mr.. Woods was glad to see that the stock all round were getting a little more size, as constitution was a very desir able feature m stud cattle. The female championship was won by Me. A. H. street’s (Bell Block) Woodland’s A-nia, and fhe reserve -ibhon went to Mr. H. W. Hoskin’s (Mangatoki) Segis Galatea. The champion and reserve champion in the Shorthorn female section were described as fine cows. They were owned by Mr. J. C. Wright (Matapu), their names being Braeside Jewel and Braeside Sweet Nell. There were two distinct types in the section, and the third cow was of j.n entirely different type to the first two’. Two-year-olds were well due, with plenty of’ milking qualities, but the yearlings were rather weakly, tlflpre being too much of a sameness about them, though they might be expected co develop well. Mr. Morgan, the judge, was disappointed with the older bulls, but the yearlings were of a good ciass. Considering, however, that up till lately the breed had not received much attention in Taranaki, on the whole it could be considered a very fair section. OTHER SECTIONS. Sheep and pigs are on a pat with previous years. Competition in Leicesters was divided between Messrs. A. Turnbull, >A. H. Street and A. T. Allen. Mr P. Bremer (Okaiawa) carried off most honors in Lincolns, and Mr A. H. Bowen (Toko) was well to the fore in Southdowns. The entries for Romney Marsh were a contest between Messrs. C. H. Weston (New Plymouth), and Blair and Hunter (Wanganui). Mr. A. H. Street was the only entrant in Shropshires.

In the pig section there was good competition for Berkshires. Messrs. Cornwall and Grover’s entry secured the boar championship, and Messrs. J. A. Kurth and Son’s entry was awarded the reserve. The champion sow was Messrs. Stewart and Landsprey’s (Normanby) entry, and the reserve champion was the property of Mr. J. Paul (Stratford). There was no competition in the Yorkshire class, Messrs. Revell and Sons (Kaponga) being the only exhibitors. Their collection was described as a very fine lin<7 including some champions of shows elsewhere. Ring competitions were well filled, as was also the horse section, the class for light horses producing some good animals.

Near the cattle pavilion Messrs. Harris and Glenie, of Inglewood, were demonstrating patent heaters. They were showing a good, range, comprising two sizes, and manufactured in both galvanised iron and copper. The demonstration quickly showed that the heaters are quite capable of doing all that is claimed of them, i.e., providing a maAamum of hot water in a minimum of time, and “on a minimum consumption of fuel; indeed* by burning ordinary rubbish, hot water was obtained in three minutes. They are very compact and should be just the thing for the farmer, householder, or business man requiring supplies of hot water. Newton King, Ltd., has a very comprehensive display of seeds and manures, with some splendid samples of roots, demonstrating the advantages of using these seeds and manures. Nearby in a separate tent, a Ridd milking machine has been installed, and is equipped with the latest labor-saving devices. The Dodge and Esse± motor cars, of which this firm is the agent, also occupy a prominent position, whilst the well-known White truck was also on view. The Taranaki Farmers’ Meat Company again had an attractive exhibit, displaying the various by-products of this industry. These included tinned meats, various grades of tallows, oils, manures, etc., the whole making a very comprehensive display. The Taranaki Farmers’ Co-operative Organisation was represented by th® well-known Hupmobile moto. car, of which they exhibited a beautifully fin» ished five-seater. The Taranaki Agencies also have fli comprehensive exhibit of seeds, manures, etc. In this tent they are showing a beautifully finished vacuum pump, manufactured by Millar and Rollo, for milking machines. This, it is stated, effects a saving of 35 per cent, in power—a consideration in these days of low prices for primary products. A. B. Waldie, electroplater, has ft fine display of electro-plated ware. MONKEY MOTOR-CAR RACERfe. There is no question that the marvellous performance of the monkey motorcar racers and jungle entertainers appeals to all who have had the pleasure of seeing these clever performers. The almost human intelligence with which they control their machines, the speed they attain on the circular track, and, the intelligent way they obey their master’s command is most Then, moreover, there is the thrill of’ seeing the little machines speeding round with their Simian drivers at an, almost incredible pace. The twenty-five,* monkeys of various species and ages also make an interesting study, whilst the baby ourang outang proves an irresistible attraction. This show was viewed by the president of the local society at a show recently, and he was so struck with its merit that he invited the proprietor to include New Plymouth in his circuit. PEOPLE’S DAY TO-DAY. MANY ATTRACTIONS.

With the prospects of fine wearner there should be a very large attend-.; ance at the show grounds to-day, for>-’ the show is unquestionably a good one, and townspeople and farmers who are not exhibiting should show their appreciation of the hard work put forward by the show officials by attending in large numbers. They will find much to interest them, and the observant farmer will find much to instruct him hy inspecting the various pedigree rattle. sheep, pigs, etc., that are penned, and also by viewing the trade displays. The town dweller will find the grand parade at 1.30 p.m. well worth witnessing. while all will find much to amuse them in the side-shows. The monkey motor racers in particular, are certain to delight large audiences, whilst the petrified woman will appeal to all. A feature of the afternoon will be the leap by the Overland motor car across a considerable gap- This astonished the crowd yesterday, and will further astonish them to-day, as the car will make its leap immediately prior to the horse jumping events. The Fourth Battalion Band will render a programme of music this afternoon. The catering is again in the hands of the ladies’ committee, which has done so much to make the reputation of the show.
