WAIRARAPA and EAST COAST P. and A. SOCIETY.

'■■ THE OAETERTON SHOW. '.-. SECOND DAY. | (By Our Special Reporter.) Hope rose high in the breasts of all having tho interests of the Carterton Show at heart, when yesterday morning opened with fine weather. Nor was there disappointment, for the attendance was phenomenal, and everything was propitious. At times, induod, slight rain-showers descended, but they were • trivial—merely the heavens perspiring in summer heat—and they tended to fill, 500 strong, tho fine new Grand Stand (.strictly at two two shillings a head), and so add to the Association's exchequer. By train, along road,' from here, from there, from everywhere they came, until surely all the countryside had assembled, lour thousand two hundred people! In truth, a gallant gathering. And the gate money—£l4o:.equally satisfactory. To this wo must add £4O from Grand Stand fees, iBO towards ; ground improvements, promised to that adroic and faithful steward, Mr G. W. Duller, by a little host of generous subaori* bers, and the total is a good day's work and a good day's pay.

Tho new Grand Btond' more than justified its existence. Even Christohurcb, with the best Show Ground in the Colony, cannot boast of such a pavilion in which so numerous a throng oun rest in shady comfort, and while they rest observe all that is of interest, even to the furthermost oorner of the area, The is seen with an ease and commanding completeness we have not before experienced. How nice, too, for ladies, There is nothing more tiring tbra a hot and sometimesdusty show-ground, Now, with this haven of vantage, there is no need to suffer, and everyone can enjoy visiting a Boono of such animation when so restful a retreat oxists. Underneath, also, there is a commodious refreshment-room, wherein Mr J. Wicken? liberally and skilfully caters and aclaiiuistora to the wants internal.

In front of thegrand stand istbehorse oval, upon winch jumping and pacing is in coarse of exhibition throughout the afternoon, Ample in extent and nicely turfed, these feats are seen to great advantage and everyone i 8 interested.

A refreshment booth-Mr A; L, Whyte's it is—bountifully burdened with tempting provisions, thrives in busy briskness. Then, a little apace, we find Host Wilkinson, with " brands" many and good, refreshing thirsty mortals; and thus all goes on well. The police ore thore, of course -Constables Darby aud Ecoleton, wo encounter—but there is no vent for valour and thoy roam in happy indolence, the guardians of the peace, Now let us briefly note the exhibits. The fat cattle I Well, they're good; an expert tells us so. Excellent in breeding and uplendid in quality, yet exemplifying what experience has demonstrated, that for beef it is not always the biggest whioh is best, for they aro not an over heavy lot. Messrs Bidwill Bros, gain the coveted medal for the best bullock ; and then Messrs ff, 0, Buohansn, J, P, Russell, and A. Mclenzie follow on iu creditable order. The three year old bullocks are a fine lot-exceptionally bo—and we stand a moment to admire them ere we pass on. What a splendid lot of horses I We are looking at the draughts; and true it is, for they would, indeed, individually, or as a whole, be hard to boat. The weight- carrying hacks, when we see them mustered later on, strike us as hardly so strong as they used to be either in quality or in number. The jumping is most praiseworthy. In the hunters' competition it is very fair, but when tho leaping match coninß on, we think we huvo never seen better, and the riding, too, is improving. Yery numerous are the entrieß"-oighteen in one contest and twenty-eight in the other—and competition is keen indeed, " Timothy," Mr Wyvern Williams' horse, wins tho leaping match and jumps really beautifully. He is without an equal. The pony leaping, intended really for boys under fifteen, but through the accidental absence of such restriction in the catalogue rendered open to men of mature years, brings forth a host of competitors, and much amusing and plucky hurdling is indulged in. For the men's matohes we observe that there are four stiff obstaoleß—a heavy log fence, 4ft 2in; post and rails 4ft; and two hurdles each Bft Din :in faith, an appalling array for all but tho courageous and skilful. Falls are fairly numerous; but happily no ill arises.

Ladies' bucks this year are not numerous; thoy are steadily decreasing, Hunting baa brought tbo men out, but feminine horsemanship—or, at loDst, the public exhibition of it on show days-languishes. It means, we think, thnt in our primitive days when each knew the other and we all knew one another, (air riders were not affrighted.butnow with tbo increasing magnitude of our gatherings, tbey, in modest diffidence,seek retirement and appear no more in charming array and graceful manoeuvre, For Ladies Haoks, Miss Howe's" Merry Maiden" secures first honours, we see; witb Mr J. Grant's " Morryman" second; and Mr F, Pearce's" Ngaire" (ridden by Miss Hume) third. In the Hunters' Competition, Mr 0. E. Bidwill's "Pierrot" occupies the place of honour, with Mr H, H. Welch's "Two-«p" next, The Leaping Match—the best event of all—finds" Timothy " (ridden by his owner) above compare, Thon next, we have Mr H, Rasmussen's" Royal Highlander," carrying a clever-banded but eccentric Native, Jimmy Taipo by name; and third Mr A, Caselberg's steed, bearing thnt experienced horseman, Mr R, Roake. The Pony Match is won by J. W. MoDougall'e "Bobby"; and the "High Jump over Bir" it is impossible to do anything with, for darkness supervenes, and the competitors adjourn it until the morrow.

Id stallions, judgments run by no means in a groove, it seems, and Mr J. BuckerHge'a'Egalite'cotnegoutoliampion in Thoroughbreds, with Mr G. W. Deller'sfino horse" Administrator" second. But the latter owner is bet' ter-placed in Draughts, and hero "Director" leads aud gains the medal, " Nil Desperandum"— Mr J, Hessey's worthy sire-ooming close behind, Thafcsterlingdraught mare" Darling," Mr Hessey's pride, wins for herself a champion medal, and well she deserves it. Ooaching Stallioba of much merit''aro certainly found in Mr Deller's ''Financier" (gold medallist), and Mr W. H orcock's" Mazeppa" (second),, and each has his circle of admirers. Tho Pigs aro, depreciating, Last year we had never, in the whole North Island, seen better. This time, both in number and in quality, they are M as g(Jod<

Dogs are not so numerous as at the previous Show, but taken all round they are of a bete olass, The special prize rough-haired sheep dog, Harrison"and florran's "Highlander," is a beautiful and intelligent dog, * although hardly in show condition. . The Poultry is belter in ducks, ! turkeys, and geese; but'tbe other classes have fallen off. Mr W. King, the largest exhibitor, seourer the main awards. Mr A. Walker, the notod Masterton poultry owner, does not show so extensively this time. His fine and valuable first prize brenze turkey cook is, however, greatly admired. While wo are studying the poultry, an exhibitor deplores the absence of inducement - to exhibit a farmer's breed of fowls - the 'J best table, ohiokens," for instance— and wo endorse his sentiment as to the practical advantage of suoh a section. Let us hope it will be included Jd subsequent schedules. The Masterton Blacksmith Company (Mr G. J. we, with pleasure, learn is awarded first position for the best collection ofagricultural implements niado in the Wairorapa. For vehioles it secures a similar honour. The exhibits in this latter, be it remarked, are exceptionally numerous and of superior material, style, and finish. Messrs Thomas Wagg and Co are also large and successful exhibitors,.

| Mr J. A. Dudson has a firet<sijrj 1 rotation of saddlery, and, in conse* quenco, has merit recognised by the bestowal of a first prize. Several cream separators and a sheep-shearing machine, eaoh iu working condition, attracted, many interested spectators.

The Government Butter Instructor, Mr Newman Andersen, a Dane apparently, commences to manufacture butler on the spot, but complains of his cream and so has to incontinently, desist. The Davis Swing Chum and the Aylesbury rotary mechanical Butter Worker seem important mediums in Ms system. The produce exhibits are numerous and the competition is encouraging, Mr J. G. Oatos appears to have the best wool, and Mrs Herrick, Mrs Liddington, Mr F. Zilwood, and Mr - John Gundy apparently make the best butter. For home-made bread com-' mend us to Mrs John MoKenzio's. Mr A. M, Wilkinson onoe moreearns awards for quality in bottled ale and stout. His "Race-course certainly seems high in favour. The horse-shoeing trial, we should add, resulted in Mr A. Fraser taking first place for plain shoes, and Mr K. Crawford first for concave shoes. The Shearing Matoh was won bv MrJ.Olliver.

Again as in our first day's experience we have to acknowledge much kind help on tho part of Mr E. W. Dorset, the Secretary; Mr Moncrieff, hie able assistant j and dually from that veteran, Mr W. Sellar, who had been specially asked to render assisttance on the busy day, and who, as ho is ever obliging to pressmen, is equally cortain of a good word from them in grateful recognition, One word before dosing,: will the management, perfect in all else, commenoe the light-horse tests a little" earlier next year—at twoo'clock, say, instead of at nearly three o'olock. The jumping oan then be accomplished in good light, and when all are there to see it, Last night, as we have pro? viously mentioned, one competitM had to be left until Saturday, fofT was utterly impossible for either horses or riders to see a paoe in front of them.
