Dunedin Winter Show

The Dunedin Winter Show, which was opened on Wednesday of last weeh, was the best illustration of the lebuuioes ol the piovince that has e\er Lecn held in Dunedin. This was noticeable in almost every 'department oi tAhe exhibits, and although in some there waa a lalling-ofi in numbers, an Improvement in qiuality matfe up for such deficiency. As usual the exhibitors of agricultural implements, dairy, .utensils, ranges, household requisites a,nd necessaries, local manufactures, etc., were well to the fore. One of the most attractive stands was that of Messrs. K. Wilson and Co., whose exihibit of ' Stand Out ' tea was greatly admired by visitors, and will no doubt tend to further popularise a brand which lias alrea.dy become a great favorite with all who appreciate a good article. Massirs. K. B. Denniston and Co., the well known importers of all kinds of engines, lubricating oils, belting, etc., made a special display of ' Campbell ' oil* engines, which are noted for their durability, simplicity of construction, and economy in the use of tuel. These engines are especially adapted for such industries 'as sawmilling, dairying, floury-mill ing, and farm-work. As usual Messrs. Brinsley and Co. had a represehtati\e display of their well known ranges, the excellent qdahties of which havq been acknowledged by every housewife who has used them. These ranges have all the latest improvements, can be used for either wood or coal, are easily cleaned, and very economical in the consumption of fuel. Cold rolled steel is used in the construction of the internal parts, whilst the oven is strengthened on the top by having an extra plate riveted on to it. Good workmanship, first-class materials, and construction on scientific principles are among the main features of this firm's ranges. One of the most attractive exhibits at the Show was that of the Dunedin Pork and Poultry Company, the goods shown consisting of hams, bacon, dressed poultry, and small goods of all descriptions. In addition to which there was a special display of goods which they manufacture to order, such as boned turkey, larded poultry, i lgeon and chicken pie, oysters in aspic jelly, sweet and savoury jellies, potted moats, etc, all of which made a very creditable display. The stand occupied by Messrs. A. and T. Burt had an imposing display of the firm's many mechanical and other specialties Among thc-e were milk coolers and aerators, factory scales, patent skylights and ventilators, bath heaters, machinery oils, cotton waste, belting, blocks, shaftings, pulleys, valves, laps, and other things too numerous to mention. It was a very fine and comprehensive display, and attracted the special attention of all visitors. An exnibit of general interest was that of the Milb m Lime and Cement Ciompany, the largest portion of whose space was devoted to a display of Kielberg patent cement pipes, Monier pipes, and building blocks. The Comprnv holds the patent rights in the Colony for the man fact.ne of the Kielberg cement pipes, which are Lein^ manufactured at present in Dunedin, Masterton and Waikiwi (Southland). Two beautifully finished Moner pi^es, similar to those used by tlie Dunedin Drainage Board, were on exhibition, and were highly rreditaHe sreeimens of local enterprise. There were also on exhibition cement building blocks, in various styles to represent buildings of stone. These, for many reasons, should come into general use In addition there v ere shown ground lime, phosphate fertiliser, cement hydrai lie limp, etc. ' Mo-srs. Nimino and Blair, in addition to showing 'ari)"s agricultural imnlements, had an attractive dist lav of their well known Standard seeds and manures. The Ne'itrne separator, which works on a new and no "1 piir.fiplp, attracted the attention of dairy far-ire-s, who expressed themselves highly pleased with it. \ fct-re of, the stand was the display of Thorley's f Hid, vvhi-h has- a great \oa;i'e in the United Kingdom for fattening horses, cattle, pig,s, etc. Although the firm has had the airency only for a short time the valuable nro erfhs of this condiment are already recognised here, ana a lartre sale nas been the result. Messrs. G. and T. Young, the well known jewellers of Princes street, had a fine exhibit of up-to-date goods, which were much admired by visitors.
