THE WINTER SHOW.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph. Christohubch, Jane 14 After allowing one year to elapse, the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Asso ciation this year again decided to hold a winter show. Ib was opened m the Opera House to-day by the President, Mr G. E. Rhodes, who made reference to the want of room, and consequent elimination of the fat stock section of the show. He urged farmers and others to help on the project for an Agricultural Hall. As for the exhibits, th* display of roots is a splendid one, m almost every respect superior, except m Swedes, to that made at Dunedin last w«ek. Cheese a»d batter are poorly represented, but grain and seeds are first class. In the counties competition there are three exhibits, that of Temuka being placed first* There are fine olassas of home made scones, bread, and oaks the competition being exceptionally keen. Fruit and vegetables, too, are credi table, the potatoes especially being magni ficeat. Practically the only Awards of more than Provincial interest are those m the cheese classes. For full cre^m faotory.made coloured and white, Waikouaiti factory (Otago) takes first m both classes, and Wyndham factory second, the judges remarking that the exhibit of white cheese by Waikouaiti was exceptionally fine m flavor and quality. In the class for three boxes factory made butty Wyndham takes first-, scoring ninety points, as against ninety-seven, scored by the same butter nnder the same judges at Dunedin last week. The attendance of ths publio to-day, was good, and m spite of the absence of fat stock and agricultural machinery the show pro mises to be as successful financially as It is from the point) of view of an exhibition.
