STRATFORD SHOW.

THE OPENING DAY., AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS. FINE DISPLAY OF DAIRY CATTLE. LIST OF -AWARDS. ---The Stratford show opened yesterday. •Beautiful weather prevailed and there was a large attendance. As is to be expected in a district devoted to dairying the outstanding feature is .the magnificent display of dairy stock, principally. /pedigree. _ Taranaki again upholds its reputation as being the home of the Jersey, and thi*s breed is very strongly represented, there being no less than 326 entries in the various sections. The yearling heifers are particularly strong, comprising 46 splendid animals, must Dominion record. -.Th? judgingof the Jersey section wasj.no light task, the work not being .completed until about 5 o’clock. There was no delay, Mr. Campbell Jackson (steward); keeping things moving smartly. Pedigree Friesians were the next strongest class numerically. Additional interest was added to this class by the presence of Mr. Marx’s world’s champion, Alcartra Clothilde Pietje, and her twin daughters. The Ayr shires and -Shorthorns were not very numerous, but the quality was there.

The horse sections were good in draughts, harness horses and hacks, but there was a lack of thoroughbreds. In pigs the competition was keen in Berkshires and also in porkers and baconers. Sheep were not numerically strong, but there was good quality. The industrial section is a very strong one this year, the ladies of the district having given good support to the society in the way of entries. A special feature is the schools’ section. Amongst the exhibitions of school work a display by the Mokoia school is of particular interest. Painting, crayon work and modelling are particularly well done, and the whole exhibit is a distinct credit to the school. The arrangements for the show are again splendid, reflecting credit on the president (Mr. G. Sangster) and' his officials, as well as in the organising ability of the secretary (Mr. XJ. Barr), who has attended to the numerous detafls that all make for success. Right from early morning the officials were in their places and did their work so well that everything went smoothly, and the judging, save in the heavy Jersey section, was over early. A pleasing feature was the splendid -work done by a troop of 21 Boy Scouts, under Scoutmaster Kerr. The catering was again in the hands of a strong committee of ladies, under Mrs. Sangster, and it was up to its usual high standard. Mr. J. Boon had charge of the tea kiosk. There are quite a number of trade displays of great interest to farmers and townspeople. Among them may be mentioned the display of Harley Davidson motor cycles and used motor cycles by the Eltham‘Motor Cycle Repair Depot, Mr. Bodie’s motor scooter drawing attention to this most effectively. Harris Glenie and Company, of Inglewood, are also showing their Rapid Water Heater at the L.K.G. stand. This heater can also be -seen in operation at the catering department, where it has been installed with splendid results.

Side shows are very numerous and many of them are particularly good. Maori Wonderland, with its geysers, mud pools, trembling ground, sulphurous pools and all the other sights that have done so much to make the thermal regions famous, was well patronised. This, with the pois and hakas by a troupe of natives, makes an excellent display. The various Mardi Gras committees also have their side shows, in which they did good business for an opening day. The space arrangements were well handled by Mr. J. T. Cooper. THE JUDGES’ REMARKS. The Jersey classes, greatly pleased the judge, Mr. H. Moreland, of Hamilton, who said they were an exceptionally fine lot. The cows were splendid dairying animals, showing signs of heavy production. The champion, Elf’s Beauty, was a wonderful cow. The three-year-olds were a good class; in fact, every section was good, and there was not a weak winner in the whole of the entries. There were 46 entries in the yearling class, which must have been a record for New Zealand. The bulls were a good class, the champion bull being a fine animal. The first two-year-old was very close to the reserve champion. Mr. H. R. Green, the Friesian judge, eaid the class could only be called fair. They were not up to the standard oi Palmerston North. The champ : on was Alcatra Clothilde Pietje, an outstanding animal, and the second cow was a good beast and hard to beat. The winning three-year-old heifer was also a good beast, but ihe two-year-olds were only moderate. The I winner of the three-year-old bulls was a fair animal, being particularly good in the forepart, but he was “hammy” behin.d The two-year-old winner was an outstanding bull and was going to be a champion. The condition of the class generally was not up to exnectation. The judge of the milking Shorthorns, Mr. E. A. Washer, said the two-year-old hulls stood out on their own and the champion cow was a good dairy animal. The bulls had been very well done and would probably have looked better as dairy beasts if they had a little less meat. The class was a small one and largely similar to that at the HaVera show. Of the Ayrshire section, Mr. A. C. Johnstone said they were a particularly fine class, but he would like to see more of them. They would compare very favorably with Ayrshire cattle he had seen at any show and the owners would be well advised to show the placed animals at Palmerston North and elsewhere.

To-day is People's Day, and as there are special trains from New Plymouth, Hawera and Tahora there should be a very large attendance. Patrons will find much to interest them, the grand parade, which takes place at 2 p.m., being the chief attraction. Farmers will find plenty of interest round the stock pens, the sheep and the pigs, or in watching the judging of the harness horses in the arena, whilst in the afternoon there are the jumping events, and from the jumping show yesterday there should be keen competition. The trade displays and the side shows will also prove i an irresistible attraction. The Stratford Brass Band will give a programme of music. The catering arrangements wdl again be in charge of a strong ladies committee, whilst for the convenience of mothers the Plunket Society has established a rest- tent.
