HAWKE’S BAY SHOW

LARGE ATTENDANCE. CHILLED BEEF AWARDS. (By Telegraph—Press Asociation.) HASTINGS. March 16. Beautiful weather favoured the Hawke’s Bay Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s autumn show at Tomoana today, and there was a large attendance. The event was a titling climax to a week of centennial celebrations in Hastings, and the procession of floats which was held earlier in the week was a major attraction at the showgrounds today. The general standard of exhibits throughout the show earned praise. A dual success was gained by Mr D. G. Grant, the well-known Dannevirke Aberdeen Angus breeder, with his entries in the chilled beef competition. Mr Grant gained first award in both lightweight and heavyweight classes as judged on the hoof. Today entries will be killed at the works and judged on the hooks by Mr J. Barr, supervising meat grader for the New Zealand Meat Board. Results of the judging on the hoof are as follow: —Lightweight class for steers up to and including 12001 b live weight: D. G.
