■ The Annual Show of tho Masterton A. andP, Association was held yesterday in Messrs Lowes and lorns' Benall street sale yards. The weather was beautifully fine and the attendance large, over 3000 people being on the ground. Owing to the particularly unfavourable season for stock experienced in the Wairarapa and Forty.Mile Bush, the exhibits in sheep and cattle were fewer than last year, There M'as, however, no falling off in I the quality, and according to com-1 petent judges the high standard of last year was fully maintained. Breeders have during the past few years paid more attention to the work of improvement and the result of the introduction of fresh strains of blood in all classes of stud stook is apparent. The Stewards and officers of the Society worked bard andaretobecomplimented on the success of their efforts. HOUSES, The entries in horses were this year unusually large, totaling over 200, most of them putting in an appearance. Thoroughbred stock was fairly represented. Forester's and Master Agnes' stock both taking prizes, A number of well-known sires ttoro on the ground, and a few thoroughbred mares, Draughts were more numerous than the blooi' stock, and formed a highly creditable display, the prizes in the various classes being well competed lor. In the hack class some very fine animals were shown, and the judges must have had some difficulty in awarding the honours, with so many competitors. Takiug it.all round, tho exhibition of horseflesh does credit to the district.

CATTLE. In oattle the entries were less than last year, but some splendid animals wn'e exhibited, Shorthorns were most numerous, Herefords aud Ayrshires also being fairly represented. Special mention was made by the judges of the splendid quality of the cattle, the fat stock particularly. Competition wa.B most keen in the Shorthorn olasses, and this may be accounted for by the fact that tho Shorthorn has earned tho reputation of being good both for dairying and butchering purposes. In Alderneys, Messrs Taplin and Stuckey were the only exhibitors. Angus cattle, which have come into prominence lately in many places were poorly represented in point of numbers, but tho animals shown wero excellent specimens, SHEEP.

At this Show sheep were not nearly so well represented as on previous occasions; but as before remarked, this is simply the fault of tho bad weather, and the Society or its officers are not to be blamed for tho inevitable, Owners cannot be expected ito exhibit without they think there is some reasonable chance of competing successfully; and a number of flockowners, who, for years past have baen supporters of the Masterton A. and F, Association, and who still have the welfare of the Society at heart, did not feel that they could exhibit this year, Most of the sheep shown yesterday were exceptionally well-bred, and would have done credit to any show in the Island. Lincolns, Eomneys, fat sheep and sheep for freezing purposes were most prominent, although Hampshire Downs, South Downs, Cotswolds, and Border Leicester were represented, in the latter class some grand sheep being shown, Enterprising breeders have of lute been introducing high priced stud stock in several of the sheep classes, and thoy aro now seeing the benefit. •. PIGS, The entries were fifteen in number aud were well worth seeing. Bacon curing should certainly thrive and become an important industry in this distriot, when wehave suohspeoimen's of pigs as those shown yesterday, DOGS. Only nine entrios for dogs were received. It is rather surprising that this humble friend of the shepherd and drover is not better represented at our shows. In a pastoral district like this good dogs should be numerous, but somehow thoy do not come forward.

IMPLEMENTS. Yesterday's show of implements was certainly about the best we have yet seen in the Wairarapa, and they and the vehicles excitod much favourablo comment. Indeed, the number and the quality of the manufactures exhibited in these two sections proved a very strong feature of the Show, and the portion of the ground allotted to them was thronged during the day by a succession of interested visitors. None of the exhibitors onterod their implements for competition, preferring to have them merely on view for public inspection, there was thus no award for the best collection at the show. We cannot pretend either in this olass, or in that for vehicles to do justice to the many admirable exhibits whioh came uuder notioe, for our spaoo, if this report is to be at all kept within limit, will not allow of any detail. We can, therefore, only briefly allude to each firm represented at yesterday's exhibition,

The Musterton Blacksmith and Wheelwright Manufacturing Company (Mr George J". Wallace, M'gr), had on the ground some excellent ploughs'of their own manufacture, and also some well made diagonal harrows and chain harrows. A noticeable feature of their double-furrow plough is the improved manner of fixing the cross-bar introduced by Mr Wallace, whereby the system of wedging is muoh simplified and the number of is reduced by two, The Company was also successful in securing the second prize for a woolpress, with the one patented by their Manager. This year that well-regarded Southern firm, Messrs Reid and Gray, were seen at their beat, and they had an exceedingly fine set of exhibits in the section now under review. Thoir entries inoludedOrdinary doublefurrow ploughs, double - furrow oonvertable into diggers, singlesfurrow digging plough, with patent lilting lever (all , their ploughs, it should be mentioned, are adapted for Gray's patent reversible points on steel shares), improved force-

feed grain, turnip, and manure drill, double turnip and manure drill, ohaff cutter, force-feed broad cast seed sower, digging disc harrows and allsteel zigzag barrows. Altogether the - firm, represented by their Christchurcli manager, Mr William Bain, had a most interesting and serviceable set of implements on view, and one which would in every way sustain the high reputation they already possess for farm machinery of every kiud. In addition to their own entries, we noticed that they showed a stand of M.Donaghv's gold medal binder twine, in flax, mixed, and pure tnanilla,"an article Baid to be of sterling merit and of very widespread use. Messrs Lowes and lorns are the Masterton agents for Messrs Reid and Gray. Another South Island firm who oxhibited largely at the Masterton Show yesterday was that of Messrs P. and 1). Duncan, of Christchurch, and we were pleased to learn from their representative, Mr J. E, Duncan, that in future they intend giving increased attention to the Wairarapa, ad they recognise in it a district which is rapidly growing in prosperity and is steadily extending its operations in matters pastoral and agricultural, The Messrs Dunoans' principakexhibifs were their drills for grain alone, turnips alone, taruips and manure or grain and manure, driven tine steel zigzag harrows, patent diso harrows, horse rake, horse hoe, combined horse hoe and ridger, hillside plough, and single and double furrow ploughs— onu of the former having a new improved mould board to do the work of a digger plough, Both for material and workmanship Messrs P. and D. Duncan have gained many good opinions, and they should in this district on their merits easily. hold their own, and on tho principle that competition is the soul of trade in increasing their own output also stimulate the general demaud for farming implements of every kind of an up-to-date oliaracter, The Masterton Blacksmith Company are local agents for Messrs P. and D. Duncan.

Messrs Booth, Macdonald and Co., of tlio Oarlyle Implement Works, Cbristchurch, (represented by Mr H. Greig) also had a good display of well-made implements, including ploughs, harrows, and all the ordinary 'lines, while as a speciality and as a thing quite new to thia locality they exhibited Tho Oarlyle Patent Spading Harrow, justly turned the "King of pulverisers," and which, it is claimed, secures most excellent and astonishing results in many kinds of work, being, it is Said, equal to plough and harrows combined, Many of these implements are in use in other parta of New Zealand, and as Mr Greig is, from experience, confident that once seen at work, thoy would make equal headway in the Waiwrapa, he is, we understand, arranging tor a trial shortly to be held. Wo recommend farmers to attend and judge for themselves what the new machine cau do.

Much the same remarks might be made of Messrs J. and 0. Howard's single and double furrow digging ploughs exhibited by Mr W, J. Harrell, representative for New Zealand. They ate most highly spoken, of by everyone who has used them, and Mr Horrell only needs to get several at work on farms in the distriot to have a very considerable demand for the effeotive article ho sells. They are in very general use in other parts of the Colony and are warmly praised by evoryone who has used them. The Reapers and Binders at the present Show were " The Buokeye" (Mr A, P. Ludlow, representative for the North Island ; Mr H.T. Andrews expert; WairarapaFarmers' Co-opera-tive Association, local agents); " The Massey-H arris" (Mr J, Young, expert, and Mr P. H. Wood, district agent, with Messrs Sutherland and Walker, sub-ogents at Masterton); " Tlio DeeriDg " (New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited) ; anil the " Walter A, Wood " (Messrs Eobinson Bros., agents and Mr ft. Gray, expert). The Buckeye people, who maintain that for simplicity of mechanism, lightness of draught, and effectual harvest work their binder is unequalled, showed two machines—a lowdown, for hillside as well as flat work, and a framoless elevator, and each of the other firms one. l'hey also exhibited a mower, (as did the Walter A, Wood Company), and a mower and reaper. The MasseyHarris Binder, it should be mentioned, is a combination of Massey and Brantford machines,' aud its manufacturers secured with it three Bold trial prizes in France, and one in Australia. It embodies several important improvements and recent inventions,

VEHICLES. Jhe display of vehicles yesterday was undoubtedly the feature of the Show, and was such as would have done credit to a town twice the size of Masterton, for they were all, wo may say, locally manufactured; Mosßrs Thomas Wagg <fc Co, with their experienced coachbuilder, Mr Edward Dixon, secured very high honours indeed, carrying off the majority of the prizes, and earning considerable and well-deeorved praise. Altogether they exhibited Beven vehioles, and secured the following awards; - Gigs, Ist, and highly commended; rustic cart, Ist; double buggy, Ist; and extended photon (double buj-gy with hood) special Ist. Limited space will prevent any detailed comment regarding their very superior vehicles, but allusion must be made to Mr Edward Dixon's lever and slide adjuster. This is an invention whereby the poise of (he vehicle can bo adjusted in a moment with one hand, and without rising from the seat, although the whole body of the trap is swung in efFooting the balance, Mr Dixon, needless to say, intends patenting so valuable an adjunct to convenience and comfort.

Mr James Muir again scored with his splendid wool press, the "Zealandia," and gained a first prize for it. He also had three nicely got-up vehioles, including a double-buggy which took second prize, and which in point of merit must hare ran the first prize double-buggy very closoly indeed, m should say. He was also very highly commended for another double buggy, and also for a gig, The Masterton Blacksmith and Wheelwright Manufacturing Company were unfortunate in having no competition in fire of their entries otherwise theirawards would probably not have been limited to a first arm fora single buggy, T% X e very good show of vehioles, and had altogether elereu on view—being the largest exhibitors in that seotion, Highly oommended mention was accorded to them for two double buggies, a dog cart, a spring trap, and a heavy waggon, Mr J. 0, Ewington was highly commended for a light spring wagon, a brake, a butcher's oart, and bis wootywig, He was .alw.yery

specially men'ioned for his ingenious bush-falling eoaffold shoe. Produce, The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company's special prize for the best ten fleeces of wool was gained by Mossrs Walker and Sutherland, with Messrs Cameron Bros second. general exhibits in produce CRm again lamentably limited in number, and by no means made an impressive display. For the best table butter, Mrs J. Harding was 1, Mrs T, W. Tankersley 2, and Mrs H, Campbell h,c, Bait butter—Mrs J. Harding 1, Mr Robert Allen 2 Ham ~Mr R. F, Temple 1; Mrs H, Campbell 2. Flitch of bacon—Mr R. w F. Temple 1, Mrs H. Campbell 2. In the class, butter for export, Mr R, F. Templo had bad luck, as although ha showed a very good article tlieto was no other exhibitor, and ihe judges could not award a prize. A QENBRAL. "TH excellent display of ironmongery and Btoves was made by Tho Wairarapa Farmers' Co-Oporative Company and Mr C, E. Danioll, and their respective exhibits formed very attractive objects of inlereßt to the public. Mr J, Elliott's splendid assortment of saddlery and harness wbb another exhibit of mora than ordinary inter-

the various articles lie had onflow underwent closa inspection 4 and much favourable criticism during the day. The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company (Mr 1. C, Lowis, local agent) had a well-ar-ranged selection of grass seeds, grain (seed Cape barley and seed wheat) and specimens of wool in a special tent, and their exhibits, which included also Cannon's Sheep Dip, Coral Queen guano,and Larney's Anthelmintic, attracted the attention of farmers to a vory considerable extent, The Wellington ileal Export Company (Mr Dilnot gladden, Secretary), exhibited mixed manure Bnd dried blood manure from their works, with certified analysis as to genuine quality. jp. Messrs Graco Clarke and Co.made a special display of Wertheim Sewing Machines, Knittors, etc., in working condition. The Horse Shoeing Competition did not take place. Insufficient horses were available. It would also pijfibly be hotter on another ocoas- . idolto have the test in a farrier's shop on the day previous to the Show, with a time limit and under supervision, and then exhibit tho results of tho shoeing at the Show subsequently, HUNTER'S COMPETITION,

Great interest was takon in this event, thirty horses entering for the competition. All the horses jumped well, the honors being divided as fol - lows Wyvern Williams' Timothy, 1; R. Roake's Sunbeam, 2; K. UcKenzie't Jaok, 8. lIIOU JUMP FOR HORSES. There were eight entries for the High Jump, Herbert Welch's roan horse taking Ist and T. W. Wardell'fl Taratahi 2nd prize, Ten entered for the ponies leaping match, T, H. Thompson's pony taking Ist, A. Mo Kenzie'a Patriot 2nd, and George Jensen's pony 3rd. PRIM LIST.
