A. AND P. SHOW.

HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE EXHIBITION. President,. Mr I). H. Paterson; vicepresident, Mr A. G. Macdonald; treasurer, Air G. W. Armitage; general committee, Messrs' A. Bain, J. C. Bisdee, E. Charles, M. Charles, R. A. Dixon, AY.. E. Evans, G. Fletcher, L. J. Grant, .1. E. Havliurst, H. H. Hutcheson, D. E. Lewis, IL -Macaulay junr., A. G. Alaedonald, A. B. Macintosh, It. Mnddron,, At. H. McLeod, L. A. Nicholas, D. Paterson, J. A. Paterson. A. Shaw. E. E. South. E. AV. Tarbotton, H. M. Venall. Geo. Ward, 11. B. Williams, J. Wordsworth; secretary, Mr J. Kennedy. Proud in the knowledge that they belong to a part of South Canterbury which can boast laud which produces as good stock, and cereal and root crops as are grown in any part of New Zealand, the residents of that rich country lying between the Temuka river on the south, and the Rangitatn river on the north, show keenness and enthusiasm in displaying at their annual show the capabilities of their favoured district in the producing line. And all who patronise the show agree that the promoters of, and the exhibitors at it, have very good reason for the justifiable pride- which they take in it. This year’s exhibition was held yesterday in the pretty, well sheltered, and well appointed grounds known ns .Winchester Domain—an ideal local : nu 1 for a show of the kind. The weather was de'ightfully fine, the sun shining brightly all day, and the rain which fell earlier in the week had laid the

dust and firmed the roads. Tt was a typical Autumn day, and this, added to the knowledge that the exhibition would be well worth seeing (as it always is), ensured a large attendance, people attending from various centres between Christchurch and Waimate. The result was that the gate takings reached the satisfactory sum of'£lGo. Tnc'udcd among' the officials of kindred Associations who were present, were the president (Mr'T. Bussell) and the 1 secretary (Mr Eraser) of the Mackenzie A. and P. Society, and Air E. C. AVithell, vice-president of the Alay- . field A. and P. Society. Last year the Temuka and Geraldine A. and P. Association did not hold a (show, owing to the infantile paralysis ! epidemic, and the hiatus, instead of detiacting from this year’s exhibition, seemed to act as a fillin to it. A glance at the catalognc indicates that yesterday’s show was the- fifteenth hold by this Association., That is scarcely correct, for in the very early days of the sub-province excellent shows were held, but for some reason they were allowed to fall in.abeyance until fifteen years ago the natural pride of the producers re-asserted ' itself, and over since then an annual exhibition has been held with-highly satisfactory results; and if-anvone now ventured to suggest that it should be discontinued, inquiries would be- set afoot with a view to ascertaining what was the matter with him. The fo'lowing table shows the entries under the various headings at the shows of 1923, 1924 and 192 G : Section 1923 1924 1926

In addition to the entries for the ! slimy proner there were mfinerons side- ! shows whieli nrovided fnn in plenty. ' Machinery exhibits were a Iso numerous, i interesting and of an educative char--1 actor. Then, too, there were sheep dog trials which drew and held the ■interested attention of hundreds of people for several hours. The sheep were liberated from a ptii, driven 1 through two pair of poles some dis- , tance apart, then through a Maltese I cross, and finnllv into a pen in the centre of the field. The time allowed ! was ten minutes, points being awarded | for command, st.v'e, time, and work- , ing the Maltese cross. A high degree J of intelligence was displayed by most I of the dogs, and their clever work was | followed bv the closest, interest. First prize, and the Geraldine Collie Dog Club’s cup went to Mr J. Davison’s “Help,” who scored 1)4 points. Only half a dozen points separated the first six dogs. Tn the potato-growing competition for Geraldine County reboots (children under 1G years) the show exhibit had to consist of one show of potatoes, accompanied by an essay of one irerp. First prize went to Flora White (Winchester), the second tn AY. Hawk” (Winchester) and the third to a pupil of the Chi'-dcboye School. Mr Ridlev, rprirultura* instructor, said that the essays were extremely interestin'', and gave visitors, a very pleasing . glimpse of the association between school and garden. It was hoped to have had a

more representative entry, but tho visit to tho Dunedin Exhibition pub matters out of their ordinary stride. The trials by hunters over fences, and tho grand' parade of prize stock were the spectacular features ol the afternoon, and in the bright sunshine which prevailed they showed to great advantage. The train arrangements were quite satisfactory. During the day four trains left AVinclrestcr for tlm north (inc’uding two expresses) and five loft for the south (agai? including two expresses'). The trains from Timaru were suitable for those who wished to go to the show by rail, but the great majority of Timaru patrons went out by motorcar. Kvovvtliiiip; was soon in tiie host ni good order, and the officials, profiting bv long experience, planned and carried into effect all arrangements, so that everything ran as smoothly as the most exacting could desire. ’1 lie president (Air I). H. Paterson) exercised a general supervision over affairs, and was ablv assisted by all who held office. The secretary (Air J. Kennedy) was, in theatrical parlance, very happily placed, and with such energetic and experienced coadjutors as lie; had in Ah- AV. E. Evans'and Air G. AV. Armitage, every need was met promptly and in tho best possible way. The music for the day. without which no show is complete, was furnished by the Geraldine Brass Band.

In possession of a typical sample of the famous Morris truck, Air J. Ei Hoyles showed with justifiable pride this I hundred per cent. British made means • of commercial transport, and lie had a host of admirers to whom he explained ! the merits of the truck. Stoutly lnult, and of neat design, the Morris truck looked all over a champion, fit to lake its place, on any. show ground. Hie Morris truck is said to be the cheapest truck in existence, and an inspection of its finely fashioned engine made it easy to understand how it does twenty miles to the gallon with a full load. South Canterbury -users claim that the tyres of this truck do 10,000 miles, and sometimes more, and that a gallon ot oil will last for 1000 miles. The average cost, including taxes and all overhead charges, works out at 4Jd per mile, with the truck in regular use. It is no matter for surprise, under these circumstances, that the Morris truck is becoming more popular every day, and ■ it is said, by users of it, that it pays i to give the 'modest price asked for it, in view of its serviceable and its longlasting qualities. The £205 charged foi the truck includes five interoliange--1 able when's, with as many cord tyres, i a Lucas electric light outfit, dash boaid. ■ mudguards, running boards, ana j valances. The truck is simplicity lti self in operation,- and is rehable over j all roads and in all weathers. In bityI ing commercial transport the chief oonj corn of the'business man is io procure l a vehicle which will carry liis goods with absolute reliability at the lowest i cost per ton. and it is claimed that ! there is no other truck in the world to equal the Morris trnrk. Ihe I imam representative (Mr J- E. Hovles) is located in Oxford llui'dings, Stafford Street, and from him all information may he obtained. Each truck carries a twelve months’ guarantee. At the present time a new 35 ewt. model is in course of production.

EXHIBITS BY AA 7 . HALLEY, T TEMUKA. Air AA'. llallcy, Temuka agent for Ford products, who is as well knotvn as the popular car which he sells, might easily have been taken to be onejwjtio had earned some great distinction, ‘so great was the demand made upon him by those who wished to learn about; or to purchase, one. or more .of the dozen different exhibits which ljc had for public inspection.
