WAIKATO SHOW

BUTTER AND CHEESE CHAMPIONSHIPS. WAIRARAPA SUCCESSES. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) HAMILTON, May 30. An outstanding feature of the butter exhibits at the Waikato Winter Show, after a comparison with previous years, was the remarkable uniformity in all classes, commented the judges. Special reference was made to the high quality of the butter taken from an ordinary shipment. The finish and general appearance of the exhibits were attractive and the managers were to be congratulated on giving attention to this most necessary detail. In the cheese section, while the exhibitors were to be congratulated on the attractive appearance of the cheese benched, in a number of instances firmer bodies would have been preferable. Mechanical openness was not much in evidence, but slithy texture was fairly general. Flavours were generally sound and satisfactory, but in a few instances a scorched flavour was evident, this being a characteristic which should be avoided as it had a tendency to cause bitterness in the flavour.
