TARANAKI SHOW.

BY TELEGRAM - PRESS AS IOCIATION. NEW PLYMOUTH, Nov 27. The thirty-third Taranaki metropolitan show opened to-day. The exhibits are a record, and the quality generally is ahead of previous shows. The Jersey exhibits are very large and comprehensive, and the display is probably the finest ever brought together in the dominion. Several hitherto unbeaten exhibitors were defeated. Over twenty bulls were shown in the various Jersey classes, and a large number of cowa. The judge and prominent breeders expressed thejgopinion that they had nevar such a magnificent show of Jerseys in the dominion. The Ayrshire, Holsteiu and Shorthorn classes were well filled. The classes were of a high grade. Horses, particularly draughts and hacks, were of exceptionally fine quality. The growth of sheep-raising in Taranaki was evidenced by the record number .of entries in all classes. The championships were awarded as follows -.—Jersey bull: F. Fowler's Pride of JBeaconsfield. Jersey cow, C. Clarke's Lady Disdain. SheepEnglish Leicester ewe: S. R. Lancaster. Lincolns: J. R. Corrigan. Clydesdale mare: F. A. Bremer's Glennie. The pig classes did not fill well. A few competitions were got off, but the bulk of the events are set down for People's Day, which promises to be the most successful in the history of the society.
