THE MACKENZIE SHOW.

TWENTY-EIGHTH EXHIBITION. A SUCCESSFUL FIXTURE. Patron, Mr T. D. Burnett, M.P.; president, Mr T. F. Bussell; vice-pre-sident, Mr F. G. Scanes; treae iirer, Mr C. J. Talbot; auditor, Mr A. Hammond; lion, veterinary surgeon, Mr A. M. Paterson, M.R.C.V.S.; committee, Messrs C. W. Annett, J. Barron, W. H. Cook, S. Dale, J. Davidson, A. L. Dobson A. Dorman, W. Gallen, S. K. Gillingham, E. Goodwin, Andrew Grant, R. A. Grant, J. C. Guinness, D. H. Howden, J. Loonies, B. Miller, G. Morris, H. A. Munro R. J. Murphy, W. Pickering, W. H. Robertson, J. Sinclair, W. Snushll, J. Trotter, J. Turkington, H. Welsh, J. R. Wyber; secretary Mr J. A. Fraser. Catering tor a district containing such a varied and very complete

i range of primary industries the Mac- : lcenzie County A. and P. Show is always looked upon as being one of the most popular and interesting of the county fixtures. On account of the infantile paralysis epidemic last year a break in the succession of this pouular fixture unfortunately occurred. Full amends, however, were made at Fairlio, yesterday when good entries and a splendid attendance marked the holding of the Mackenzie Agricultural and Pastoral Association's twenty-eighth show. Glorious Mackenzie sunshine, pleasantly, tempered by a'slight breeze, made for ideal weather conditions, and with such an auspicious commencement it was not surprising to find Mackenzie residents early astir in preparation for this popular event. From an early hour a steady stream of traffic from the mountain country beyond the Pass, and from all corners of a widely scattered district, made its way into the township. The two morning trains from Timaru carried a large contingent from the South Canterbury capital, the quota being considerably added to at every wayside station. As the day wore on the attendance steadily increased, and after lunch it was obvious that the fixture would prove to be one of the most successful ever held by the Association. The Mackenzie Pipe Band and the Fairlie Brass Band were in attendance throughout the day, and assisted toward the success of the show with generous programmes. j . A well controlled organisation, under the direction of the president (Mr T. F. Bussell), and the energetic secretary (Mr J. A. Fraser) kept the programme well up to schedule time, and proceedings passed off without a hitch. • The 1 gate takings amounted

to £IBO against £2lO taken at the previous show. The decrease however is not indicative of any falling off in the attendance, being more than accounted for by the fact that members’ cars this year were admitted free of charge. Among those present in addition to the officials of the Mackenzie Association were-, representatives of kindred Associations including Messrs Paterson (Geraldine-Temuka), Withel (Mayfield), and I-I. H. Fraser (Timaru). Due probably to the somewhat unsuitable conditions experienced last year, entries, especially in the agricultural sections, did not compare so favourably a 3 with those of 1924, although in most cases large * increases over the 1923 season were registered. The entries received in the various sections wore as follows:

The horse section was again well patronised by exhibitors, a very good showing being made with both light and draught houses. Miss Peter’s well known harness horse, Illumination, won the championship ribbons for the best horse in that section,: with Miss V. Nicholl’s Plato, reserve champion. The best hack turned up in Mr S. K. Gillingham’s Moderator, Mr W. L. Bourn’s Kilmarnock being adjudged reserve champion, while in the pony class Bliss J. Orbell’s Peter was successful in winning the coveted award. With such exhibitors as Messrs W. Black, Murray and Martin, and Andrew Grant represented in the heavy class a splendid showing was only to be expected. The latter, perhaps the largest exhibitor in the show, had the honour of leading the champion and also the reserve champion gelding in the parade. The champion mare was exhibited by Mr W. Black, the reserve championship being awarded to Messrs .Murray and Martin. The cattle exhibits, although hardly up to the exceptionally large total of 1.024, more than equalled the showing of 1923, while the individual quality of the ■ various classes was distinctly good. Mr B. A. Grant’s Challenge Cup championship ribbon

for the best cow, any breed, most suitable for dairying, was won by Mr S. Dale’s Sapphos Model. In the Ayrshire class the premier award fell to Mr T. McDonald, while in the Jersey section Mr R. Maddren’s Juanita’s Girl and Golconda’s Repoamer were awarded the ribbon for best female and male respectively. In the sheep pens exhibits from local breeders largely predominated, and the result can be considered as being very satisfactory, the concensus of opinion being that the standard was well maintained. The merino class again attracted great interest, the championship ribbon donated being won by Mr G. Murray, Braemar. The Challenge Cup and gold meda presented by Messrs A. and J. Dunnett for a pen of five sheep most suitable for stocking tussock country in the Mackenzie Country, naturally proved of considerable interest to local breeders. Out of five competitors the Cup was won by Mr R. A. Grant.
