Rain has teen badly needed in the district for many months, and there seemed little chance of its arriving in time to avert ruin of tbe crops until Monday, tbe day before tbe A. and P. Association's show. It rained in a half hearted sort of way all Monday morning, in the afternoon starting in real earnest. The downpour continued without intermission until fivea.m. oh Tuesday,'when the sky bleared

and for half an hour ifc looked as if a perfect day would result. However, at the end of that time, the rain recommenced and until after 10 a.m.;it fell heavily. Then it broke up again into showers. By this time, however, most of the country people who were not exhibiting, or were not particularly interested in the exhibits, had decided to remain at home, and many families were represented by the male element only, a fact which combined with the weather, kept away most of the bright colours which would have predominated, and gave the grounds a somewhat sombre look. However, the rain cleared after lunch, .although a cold sou’wester still blew, and the townspeople, reassured by the improved look of the weather, turned up in numbers, so that the gate suffered but little, netting £-14 9s, as against £57 last year, and this must be read against an increased membership. The exhibitors, with few exceptions, braved the elements and brought in their stock, glad, as one farmer said to bo drenched to the skin, to make certain the rain had really arrived. The rain did not render the ground wet underfoot, on account of the long spell of dry weather, but at the gate tho traffic made a regular quagmire. The grounds havo been enlarged during the year by taking in the strip of land between the old boundary and tho old Gorge lino. This latter is now used for bringing implements and stock from a distance straight to their destination, thus saving diserabarkmonfc at Waimate station, and cartage to 3-sd from the grounds. The Railway Department started to make a loading bank opposite the grounds some days before the Show, but it was just partially finished, and could only be used for unloading. The new piece of ground was used be the machinery exhibits, and for tho tents of the various firms, and this gave so much additional room, which was a necessity, considering dc.t great increase of tho population iu this district, as well in the numbers of visitors attracted by the growing importance of the show. The ground all over is very uneven, through being used in wet weather, and ba lly requires ploughing and laying down fresh iu grass. This • would add much to the comfort of patrons, Of the Show proper, horses formed by far the greater part, a tendency noticed on most New Zealand grounds. L ; ght horses w*re the most numerous in the classes, but the draughts were represented by a good muster of splendid animals. The jumping was of course, o' great interest and this was in no wise diminished by tho fact of these popular events being taken early in the afternoon, instead of left entirely to the last. The ground was not iu the best of conditions, and there were a few spiils, (one of which might have been serious) but there were some good performances. T he high jump was a good item. In the pony jump over the hunting jumps, there were several spills, and many balks tho task being beyond them with nine stone. One pony got entangled in tha hurdle and was not easily extricated, but no one was hurt and the event caused a great deal of amusement and interest —as an event in which there is a chance of somebody else being hurt, always does. The cattle were a likely looking lot, especially the Ayrshire? and Shorthorns, but none of them had a chance of showing to advantage, as th sy came in heavy rain, and were .yarded hurriedly. The sheep were a splendid lot, and were considered to be far ahead of those at any previous show in Waimate. In Border Loicesters, Messrs N. M. Orbell and Co., and H. Ruddenklau, the chief entrants, took most of the prizes with the cheap that “ swept the board ” at Tiraaru. Tho classes for fat sheep and lambs for butchers’ and for freezing pmrposes filled fairly well, aud the competition was good. Pigs were not largely entered and did not show greatly to advantage, the weather being against them also. Dairy produce had fallen, off coniderably from other years, but ' there was a good show of sundries. The class for home-made loaves brought out a large entry, Mrs J. Belcher securing a well earned first, as she did in each of the classes for oatmeal cakes, oven and girdle scones. Perhaps the class which attracted the greatest number of intersted spectators was that for the best collection of ■eatables made on a farm, to be shown in. a space three feet square. This was the first appearance of the class in the society’s catalogue and they are well satisfied with their experiment. There were two entries, by Mrs W. H. Beckett and Mrs R. G. Baxter, and both including as they did dainties of •all sorts from sweetmeats to the staff of life in the form of bread and preserved meats. Mrs Beckett’s collection, which was a very varied one, including 43 •exhibits of ham and bacon, pork pie, bread, scones, oatmeal and sweet cakes, butter, chese, jam, jelly, preserved fruit, wines and syrups, besides sweetmeats, was admired by all who saw it. Mrs Baxter’s collection, though less varied, was exceedingly well displayed. Next year it is certain that there will be a large entry in this class. Sheep dogs were well represented iff the two classes entered for. Turning to the implements, the first in order was that of Messrs Guinness and LeCren Ltd. Their tent as usual was well got up, exhibits of various grass and turnip needs growing in boxes being shown as a proof of tha

i I germinating power of the seeds sold by the firm. The seeds themselves machine-dressed, were shown in sacks, the rest of the space being occupied with the firms agencies—drums of Little’s, White's and Highland sheep dips, vacuum oils in bulk and tins, Walker’s hot fly remedies, binder twine, Ceylon teas, sheep shears and Allsopp’a reversible scarifier share, and ruberoid roofing material, an article coming into greater use every day. The National Mortgage and Agency Co. had a good collection >f their agencies, the one that seemed to attract the attention of the general public most being the keg of “ Golden Apple ” cider, which was provided for sampling. ' The firm had also a well set out exhibit of seeds, Ceylon teas, j twines, standards, wires (netting, barbed and plain), superphosphates, branding oils and salt, both rock and coarse. Mr Thus. Richard had a good show of the well-known Fritz bicycles of several grades, one machine being unfinished to show the material and workmanship. One wheel which could bo made “ free ” by lowering a small catch at the back of the saddle, proved of great interest to cyclists. Messrs C. T. J -ms >p and Co. exhibited the “ Stella,” “ Olivo ” and “Rod Bird” wheels, both free and ordinary chains, and Mr C. A. Hollamby the MasseyHarris and Imoerial, for which ho is agent. Messrs Manchester Bros, and Co., agents for the Massey-lx irris Co., had a comprehensive exhibit of the company’s well-known implements, embracing the Massey - Harris binder, mower, rake and hay tedder and ploughs and scufflers. Messrs Priest and Holdgate had a large show of the MnCormick implements, including three binders, mower, cultivator and daisy cud. But it was the Planet Jr. tools that were mos r admired, a practical exhibition of the garden implements being given by the expert in charge. Messrs Booth, McDonald and Co. exhibited a good line of ploughs, harrows, drills, cultivators and oth-*r implements, besides a flit, windmill and pump. The Gan- ' terbury Farmers Oo - operative Assn, showed the Jones’ Lever binder, grass mower, hay rake, mower and knife grinder, besides superphosphates and general sundries, aud on account of Messrs F. and D. Duncan, a set of in and out cut disc harrows, cultivator, hillside plough, combined drill, etc. The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co. showed a number of useful lines, including the Walter A. Wood reaper and bin lor, clover cutter and hav rate, the Farmers’ Fivonrite drill and daisy churns. Messrs Reid and Gray showed the Deering hinder and their own make of ploughs, drills and chain harrows. Mr W. J. Vills exhibited two imat and well-designed dog carts, a three-spring gig and a Franklin buggy, also useful farm implements frtm his own engineering works. Mr John Cunningham had on view two dog carts and a road gig, and Mr Wm. Allan a two-wheeled gig. Mr Geo. Dish had on view trade, road and creamery carte, beside a farmer’s cart designed for light or heavy work, a three spring gig, a dogcart and a contractor’s cart built ten years ago. This latter has been in constant use ever since, aryl is little the worse of wear—a good indication of careful work done with good materials. SHEEP DOGS.
