Other Classes
Space considerations, unfortunately,
forbid reference being made I
in detail to other sections of the!
show, but it can be said that in near-1
ly all a high standard of excellence
was reached. ' Comment was made]
that the quality of the work reached
a standard not hitherto attained at
district shows, and the remark appeared
to be well justified. Some
s
of the work was, indeed, a revelation.
Miss Anlezark was again a
good winner in the fancywork sec
tion, while in the district class prizes
were well distributed. Miss Yarwood
won the prize for A collection
of one woman's work, Miss Grace
McCarron being second. Miss Tarwood's
collection consisted of cakes,
a needlework cushion, knitting,
white work, a frock and beautifully
made artificial flowers. There were
not many entries in the section for
girls under 21 years of age, but girls
under IS showed themselves more
industrious, each class being competed
for. Miss M. Kirne (two)
and Miss D. Yarwood were firstprize
winners. Special prises were
awarded for exhibit® not catered
for in the catidogue, and a handf
made whip
Mr A.
tratted
Schoolwork sections the Numurkah
and Nathalia H.E. schools and Cobram
East, Baulkamaugh North,
Drumanure, Numurkah, Katamatite,
Wunghnu, Naring West, Yarroweyah,
Waaia, St. Joseph's (Numurkah)
and Baulkamaugh South
schools competed. As was to be expected,
considering the greater
number of scholars, Numurkah competitors
were the most successful.
A feature in this section was the
collection of cut flowers and the
collection of vegetables exhibited
from Katamatite school, an exhibit
that impressed Lady Huntingfield,
who displayed particular interest in
the school exhibits. It is a long
time since there was such keen competition
in the Home Products section,
and there was no outstanding
exhibitor, no fewer than 18 individual
entrants winning first prizes
in the 27 classes. The aggregate
prize was won by Mrs T. Haynes,
with five first awards. Competition
wj^s also animated in the Preserved
Fruits section, in which Mrs Gibbs
and Mrs E. Harris each won five
. first prizes, with Mrs J. McCrabb,
Mrs H. B. McCrabb and Miss M.
Harris pushing them closely. Miss
GibV ^as also a good entrant in I
jams and jellies, but the prize for
aggregate points went to Mrs Bur- j
gess. Mrs J. Fowler, Mrs J. Mc-
Crabb and Mrs H. B. McCrabb also
gained several awards. Miss Marjory
Rogers won for collection of
jams under 18 years. W. C. Tyack
. and Son took firsts for wheat, H.
Formby also winning one first and
a similar award for white oats. C.
B. Wearne won for wheaten chaff
and D. F. Rendell for oaten chaff.
The display of vegetables was not
of very- high order, one exception
being lettuces, the prize for which!
was won by Miss Gillespie, who also
won for her collection. In most
classes the flowers were of a very
high order, the roses (all prizes in |
which were won by C. Mucklow, his
champion being Mrs Henry Winnet)
being particularly good. The
cut flowers were also excellent. C.
. Mucklow won the highest number of j
points in this class.
In dogs, C. Hurrens showed the
champion sporting dog (greyhound)
and R. McNeil the champion nonsporting
1 dog (a collie). There was i
better competition than usual in this I
class. Mr Hurrens also won the cup
for best dog in the show; the cup is
to be won three times.
