MASTERTON SHOW

JUDGING DAY AT SOLWAY

A MAGNIFICENT SHOW OF STOCK.

In spite of the unfavourable reports that have come to hand from the Met- ; eorological Office during the last few days, the weather broke fine for the ! opening day of the Masterton A. Audi P Association's twenty-sixth annual show The officials were at work bright and early, and the judges commenced their arduous duties with promptitude. As the day wore | on, tho heat became somewhat ex- . cessive, but the general public was afforded ample shelter by the spacious | grandstand, and within the giades of . the adjoining forest. The attendance for an opening day was well up to | the average, visitors being present j from all parts of the North Island, j and not a few from the South. Ihe • arrangements were in perlect order, , thanks to the systematic efforts of the | secretary (Mr J. B. Emmett) and his , staff, and everything passed off without a hitch. The ring events were watched with considerable 'interest, the turning and jumping being especially attractive. The agricultural hail* was thrown open to the public early in the afternoon, and was well patronised, though many of -the exhibits have to come in to-day. The luncheon and refreshment rooms were liberally patronised, and the sideshows jfof which there are thirty or J forty) did fair business. Judging was completed in the afternoon, and the verdicts were critically examined by shrewd outsiders. Many of those present tried their hand at guessing the weight of a very deceptive bullock, and man* more will do so to-day. The J genera] opinion expressed by visitors was that the show is one of the finest j ever seen in the North Island. The ] exhibition of fat stock would be hard ; to beat in any part of the Southern Hemisphere. THE SHEEP. The judges in the sheep classes were, in most cases, set a very severe j task. In Lincolns, Mr William Perry j practically swept the board. Mr D. Ivirkpatrick, of Gisborne, who adjudicated, told an Age representative that it was the finest lot of Lincolns he had seen in Masterton. The prizewinners were al] true to type, of good bone, and well clad. This opinion was endorsed by Mr C. T. Barriball, who judged the Lincolns last year. "They are a much better lot than were shown last year," he said. Mr Perry j takes the Lawes Chemical Co.'s silver cup for the champion rani. Mr Perry : won the trophy in 1910, ami if he ' should win it again, it will become his j own property. Although there was only one exhibitor in English Leicester (Mr 9. R. Lancaster), the sheep shown were true to type, and were well spoken of by competent judges. The Border Leicesters were an even lot, and those shown by Mr J. Dowthwaite would take a lot of beating in any show-ring. The Romney Marsh secc'on was pronounced to he of excellent quality. The judge (Mr H. V. Fulton, of Dunedin) expressed surprise at the fine quality of the animals shown. Messrs A. and. J. Gray carried off the championship with a ram of immense bone, and of splendid symmetry. The championship takes with it Mr William Perry's silver salver, which was won last year by Mr A. L. Wheeler. Mr W. Perry appropriated Messrs W. and H. Beetham's silver cup for the best pen of four Romneys, with, a good, even lot, and Mr G. E. Allen annexed Mr C. E. Johnston's rose bowl for the best rain lamb. The -Southdowns were pronounced by the judge (Mr Stuckey) to be of excellent quality, and worthily maintaining the reputation of the North Island for this breed of sheep. The championship fell to Mr A. J. Stone-Wigg, the Masterton breeder, who exhibited an , excellent type of black-face. The Shropshires produced a number of surprises. Mr H. D. Vavasour, of Marlborough, who swept the board last year, had i>o give way on this occasion in three or four important classes to Mr William Rayner, a local breeder. Mr Rayner was awarded the championship with a splendid ram. In other classes where Mr Rayner was successful, he beat sheep which had gained first prizes against big competition at the Christchurch show. Mr J. W. Stuckey, of Manga weka, was the judge at Masterton. The farmers'. classes were declared by the judge to be a' credit to the district. The first place for five Down cross lambs, most suitable for freezing and the London marked, fell to Mr W. Perry, with Mr H. H. Beetlram second and Mr J. C. McKillop third. These, and other sheep, have to be sent Homo to be finally adjudicated upon. The tegs and the long-wool classes were a splendid lot. The fat sheep, also, were pronounced to .be of first-olas?, oualitv CATTLE.

The display of cattle was remarkably good. In Shorthorns, Sir W. C. Buchanan secured champion honours with his well-known sire. Count Red Rose HI. Mr W. T. Williams,- of Hawke's Bay, was awarded the championship for cows, and carried off most of the remaining prizes. He had to give place, however, to Mr W. Howard Booth in the class for two-year-old bulls. The judge (Mr-John Drummond) spoke very hishlv of the Shorthorns as a class. In Grade Shorthorns. Mr J. McLecd carried off the ehampionshp in the hull class, and Mr J. Ruska. in the cows. This section calls for very little comment. The purebred Herefords were a really handsome lot. As was expected, Mr E. Short's well-known "Crusader" took the championship in bulls. Messrs G. F. Moore (Kai Iwi), E. Short, Estate of late H. James, and D. McKenzie (Woodlands) divided honours in the remaining classes. It was probably the best show of Herefords that has been seen on the ground. The judge passed over one splendid heifer shown by Mr D. McKenzie, because it- had not a white mane. The action of the judge, on this point is. of course, open to criticism. Mr F. Armstrong carried all ,before him in the Polled Angus section. The purebred Ayrshires were a fair average lot. The champion bull shown by Wilton Bros is, in the opinion of the judsie, "a nice, stylish animal, which will develop with ago and be fit to show in any company." Mr R-. C. Fowler was the most successful exhibitor in the remaining classes, his aged cow being of good type and

body. The Jerseys were judged by Mr Paul Hunter, in the absence of Mr Frank Day. They were of splendid quality, and were much admired. The champion bull went to Mr EEagle, junr., and the champion cowto Mr S. R. Lancaster. Tho latter was tho most successful in the remaining classes. There was only small competition m the Hol«tein-Friesian section, but the animals shown (payticularly by JVl.r W. I. Lovelock) weie of first-class quality. As the judge expects to adjudicate upon some of tho exhibits at the New Plymouth show, he preferred not to express an opinion concerning t'heir individual merits. Dairy cattle were well represented, but call for no special mention. The feature of the show of cattle was undoubtedly the "fats." The judge (Mr F. W. Fairey, of Nelson) attached tho following note to his card: "A grand show, fit to exhibit at any show south of the line. The first prize freezers call for special mention, also the shop measts. New Zealand's reputation is to the front in both pens. The Masterton A. and P. Association has a splendid show of fats, and the prizes were not given without a good deal of thinking." These remarks speak for themselves. The rest w.ll be found in the prize-list attached. HOUSES. The thoroughbred horses shown were few in number, but were of fair average quality. The majority of them will be judged to-day.- The draughts were a splendid lot. Mr Ernest Short was the most successful exhibitor, and there is no doubt that lie deserved the honours. Great interest was taken in the jumping events. The maiden jumping competition was won by Mr P. Drummond's Kowhai, from a field of twelve,, with Mr C. B. Blundell's Pat second. In the leaping event (twenty-eight competitors) Mr Ernest Short succeeded in carrying off both first and second, with Dinizulu and Scout. Mr J. Shaw (rider of Diniznlu) was awarded the prize for tile best rider in the 'atter event. PIGS. There was an indifferent shew of pigs, and the. prizes were fairly evenly divided. The Berkshires and Yorkshires shown were of good quality. DAIRY PRODUCE. The section for dairy produce was, according to the judge, a good allround one. The Bun-iy -,horpe Company carried off first prizes in butter for export and butter for local consumption, the Masterton Dairy Company running it very close in both divisions. Mrs J. B. McKenzie was awarded the honours in both classes for fanner's separator butter. From thirteen exhibits in cheese, the Parkvale Dairy Company was placed, first and second. The home industries class was well represented. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE. The display of cereals, grass seeds, etc.. was one of the best ever seen in the district, though the judge (Mr J. E. Macassey, of Napier) expressed surprise that the exhibits were not numerically stronger. In some of the classes the competition was particularly close, and Mr Macassey admitted that he had some difficulty :in arriving at a, conclusion in respect to the Danisli oats, spring wheat, cocksfoot, cowgrass, Dun oats ind Cape bar. ley. The quality of the grain and seeds was, according to Mr Macassey, very goad in most classes. ; ' HORTICULTURAL. ! The show of vegetables and fruit was very good, although ihe competition was restricted. The children's classes were only moderately filled. | THE PERMANENT STANDS. j W.F.C.A., Ltd. ' The exhibit of the W.F.C.A., Ltd., is always a special feature, but this year, regardless of expense, they have launched out in a most enterprising manner, and the whole display does them infinite credit. The display of produce and general farming requisites is of a most comprehensive nature, and should prhve of special interest to farmers. It includes a fine assortment of grass ■seeds, Hawke's Bay, Sandon, and Southern ryes, machine and fanners' dressed cocksfoot, English and colonial clovers, fescues, dogtails, fox tail, yarrow, etc. ( and a great variety of oats, barley and i.'aize. In the matter of sheep dips and drenches, the firm display all the notable preparations, including White's wellknown dip. There is also a fine display of artistic furniture, arranged in a most pleasing manner. The exhibition is entirely of oak, and includes an oak bedroom suite, Morris chairs, quaint arm chairs covered in brown hopsack. tables, bookshelves, hook troughs and palm stands. The whole of the exhibition was manufactured 1 by the W.F.0.A., and the general artistic nature of the 'workmanship is a distinct credit to the firm. A special feature is also being made of some reversible rugs of New Zealand manufacture, which in point of quality, colouring and blending, are equal to anvthing imported. The furniture exhibit i-s in charge of Mr J. E. Calwoll. j MR D. G. BROWN. ' Mr D. G. Brown is making an exhibit of Bradbury, Rudge, and Douglas motor cycles. The Bradbury machine as already ridden by dozens of | motorists in the Wairarapa, and it is very pleasing to hear the complimentary remarks by these riders. The Rudge is not so well known about here as the Bradbury, but it is a splendid machine, and is bound to become popular. Tho Douglas motor is an English-built machine, and Mr Brown will be pleased to explain its good pointst o inquirers. Anyone interested in motoring should visit Mr Brown's exhibit. MESSRS INGLIS BROS. In a spacious marquee, 30ft by 45ft, Messrs Inglis Bros., the well-known motor car importers of Wellington, are exhibiting a. magnificent collection of the cars for which they .ire the representatives. Included in the exhibition are the Wolsey, Deasy, Stuart (Wo models). Penn, and B.C.H , as well as a big display of motor accessories. Mr T. Inglis will he at the Club Hotel until next. Saturday, and will be pleased to discuss motor business with anyone interested, or demonstrate to intcr/li:^

S. M. BAIRD. The display made by Mr Baird, motor engineer and car importer, Masterton, is particularly prominent amongst this section of the show. Included in the exhibition are tho well known Cadillac, Page and K.R.I.T. cars, the two former being fitted with thu electric light and i-clf-starter. The K.R.I.T. is worthy of special mention. It is a 25.1 i.p., and is fitted with aluminium (.'rank case, Bosch magneto, three-speed gear box, and five detachable rims. The car is a beautifully finished five-seater, and is quoted at the reasonable price of £285. Mr Baird will be pleased to demonstrate to intending purchasers. MR P. W. REARDON. Mr Reardon, agent for Austin and B.S.A. cars, has an exhibit of Austin cars on his stand, including Wo of the latest models of 10-14 and 15 h.p. The 10.14 h.p. model only arrived from the works a few days ago, and has the very latest specification including engine with 14.3 R.A.C. rating, four-speed gear box, and the latest thing in detachable wheels, viz., the Austin-Sankey all steel wheel. This wheel is entirely made of steel, is lighter than the wire wheel, can be reversed on the hub, and the tyre worn from both side® of ihe tread. The latest model Austin referred to above is claimed to be the lightest car on the market for equal h.p. The engine is remarkably efficient and can develop n wonderful amolTiit of power, and speed, reaching 35 miles an hour on the third gear and 45 miles per hour on the fourth gear. A great many requirements ha/e been added to the latest models —10-14 and 20 h.p. —Austin, and it i,s safe to prophesy that tho 15)13 Austins are among the most popular and satisfactory cars in the highest grade of English manufacture. Mr Reardon's exhibit is well worth a visit by those interested in motor cars. MA STERTON FARMERS' IMPLEMENT COMPANY. This firm, of which Mr R. D. Leach is the manager, is again to the front with a very fine collection of vehicles, which were greatly admired yesterday. The exhibit gives some idea of bow the firm have gained the good name they possess for style a*;d quality they turn out. They are represented by jump seat and ordinary double buggies, rubber tyred Gladstone, Sydney and pony gigs, light and heavy spring drays, and farm dray. Visitors to the show should! certainly make a point of inspecting this fine collection. N.Z. LOAN AND MERCANTILE A-GENCSY CO. The Association, of which Mr A. T. Spain is the local manager, well maintains its reputation for its display of farm and station requisites. Well established brands of sheep dips are arranged in tins, with attractive lands, while blight preparati r.is, insecticides, formalin, and Halstead's cattle medicines are also shown. Then there are samples of wool packs, corn sacks, binder twine, grass seeds of all kinds guaranteed true to imme, cereals, meal, and manures. Oth&r lines that are receiving a good l deal of attention from these who visit the firm's stand are Page's neAV automatic wirestrainer, Page's wire-cutter, Mote's patent extension ladder, cattle d<> horners, Lambert's potato blight eradicator, etc. G. H. PERRY \ND CO. The firm's exhibit of seeds and farmer? requisites occupies a prominent position amongst the permanent stands, and was the centre of a po<>d deal of attention yesterday. The display includes grain and particularly growing samples of Western Wolths, grass and Perennialised rye. The growing samples of Haunch en harlev are the first to he introduced into this district. The samples of srain also include wheat and oats, which are all products of the district-. demonstrating as they do that this district is one cf the finest for seed production. There is also a very fine sheaf of beardless Propstier oats from the property of Mr W. E. C. Tylee, of Pongaroa as well as a sheaf of "New Abundance" oats, grotvn by Mr W. Mowbray, of Opaki. A particularly fine sample of iondilla wheat, grown by Mr C. Cundy, of Featherston, was the subject of very favourable comment. This sample certainly settles the question as to whether this district can produce milling wheat. Mr A. B. Wood, agricultural chemist, is u charge, and will be pleased to give any information or advice to inquirers. Messrs Perry and Co. are also making a display of machinery, including a Wrigley wool press, oft Ideal topdressing machine, 9ft Ideal top-dress-ing machine, stumping jack, Etori'ie plough, Planet Jr. scuffler, Wallace Alpha machine, set discis. LEVIN AND CO., LTD. This old-established firm, of which Mr G. C. Summerell is local manager, has an attractive ijtand, which station holders, farmers, and settlers generally appreciate. There are to been seen samples of cocksfoot, ryegrass, clovers, and turnip seeds, dips, foot-rot ointment, medicaments for the eradication of diseases in stock, sprays for fruit trees and potatoblight ; branding oils and O'.her necessaries. They are also showing the Lister Cream Separators, and as tho season is now' approaching when the factories will shut down, the home separator becomes a necessity. Anything required on a dairy farm or sheep station can be supplied by the firm. A display cf "Lixall," the great weed exterminator, is also being made at this stand. Mr J. W. <le Castro, who is in charge of the exhibit, will be pleased to show Inquirers some proof of the efficacy of "Lixail," .having in his possession some specimens of blackberry root, gorse and ether noxious weeds that have been successfully treated with the exterminator. T. WAGG AND CO. This old established coaeh-lmiiding firm is well represented on the ground, especially for the hotter class of vehicles, and for work and ficis,h they are worthy of competing at r.r.y show in the colony. Two and fourwheeled vehicles, with all latest improvements. built for lightness and silent running, are in evidence, and good sound weight-carrying formers' carts are also on exhibition. Any requirements of farmers' aid set+lers can be built to order at the local works. Since the last diow the firm have with characteristic enterprise, launched into the motor business, and included in the display is a very fine 30 h.p. Abbott ear fitted with electric light and all the latest improvements, a four-seater 20 li.p. Buiok, and a two-seater 20 h p. r of the same make. A cordial invitation is extended to the public to call and inspect. WELLINGTON MEAT EXPORT COMPANY. The Wellington Meat Exnort Company. Ltd.. for whom Mr T. McKenzie j-s : N "'or--' 1 ' :-vrr. l-.a« one of the | most striking ami instructive oxhih-

show. The display, which ij contained in a large marquee, bungs hone very forcibly to one what a. prominent part the freezing company plays in the development of the resources of .Sew Zealand, and tno feeding and clothing of the world. A well Known AVairarapa settler informed an Age reporter yesterday alternoon that the company's wool exhibit, from a farmer's point of view, was most educational, for wools were- shown from all parts of the world, from the finest merino to the coarsest L ncoln, and in all the stages of manufacture. They were so classed that a former could become a. wool clnsser l»v a careful study of the exhibit. There are also shown pelts salted ready for export and again after the tanner has made them up "into all kinds of leather and imitation leathers, ouch as chamois, alligator, Rass'.an, etc., and two pelts, which -should be seen by farmers, showing as Hiey do what havoc may be wrought by careless shearing. Preserved meats, moat extracts, tallow in various grades, manures, Neatsfoot oil, glue (made from bones and hide piece-s) s also isinglass and sausage skins, all tnsteluliy arranged. The whole exhibit goes to prove how near the truth is ihe paying that t'he only thing that the freezing company cannot utilise is the squeal of a pig and the bah cf the sheep I)ALGETY AND CO, TLD. The above firm again occupy a prominent position amongst the stands, with, their display of all station requisites, such as fencing wire, netting, wool packs, cornsaclvs, hinder ."warnings, twine, Quibbel Bros.' dips, etc. In addition is a very full list of seed samples, and prominent amongst them a. seed germinator in w.hich all the firm's seeds are tested before being offered to farmers. In this germinator various seeds can now be seen in the different stages of eermination. CRM EXT PIPE COMPANY. During the past few ye'ars tfhe use of cement pipes for all classes o? work, requiring strength and stability has greatly increased, and not only are pipes taking the place cf wood for drainage, culverts, and bridges. but concrete is replacing stone and timber for piers, breastworks, buildings, and other purposes. The fine range of pipes shown by the Cement Pine Company at the Solwav show gives some idea cf the useful <nurposes to which cement can be put. These pipes range in size from 4 inches to 3ft Gin in diameter. The larger wipes are reinforced with steel, and will carry any weight taken on ordinary road traffic. In country places where ..shingle is scarce, it pays to have concrete flags made at the works for flooring. The firm are showing at Solwav samples of the flags they are making for flooring cowbails and stables, as well as pig troughs and water troughs, which are reinforced with steel and are light and everlasting. They are easily laid, and a great deal of time is saved to the farmer in cleaning. Mr Thomas Evane. the Masterton representative of t 1 is in charge cf the exhibit, and will give any informaton requred. SHEEP v LINCOLN*. (Judge—Mr D. Kirkpatrick, Gisbome.)
