TRADE EXHIBITS

JOHN H. ORMOND. One of tho most important industries of Gisborne is that conducted by Mr J. H. Ormond, proprietor of the Peel Street Carriage "Factory, and it is therefore pleasing to see that this firm is giving an illustration of its importance to the town and district by exhibiting largely at the annual show. FiFrst of all, light station buggies, work in which the firm is an adept, and two of these shown are for Mr C. E. Smith, of Tologa Bay, and Mr G. Warner, of Tiniroto. The bodies are light, strong and roomy, tho back seat detachable; equalisers to prevent the body from dipping when unevenly loaded; tho forec-ar-riage, or fifth-.wheel is of wrought iron with stops to minimise the danger of capsizing. Other station and tray buggies are also exhibited and denote that thev have been built with the same fittings, with leather trimmings and on springs which ensure comfort and ease. The steel oil .patent axles are specially made to suit the sarven wheels used, and specially adapted for the steep hills in the back country. Mr Ormond also makes a speciality of sing’e-sea ted .tray buggies, the bodies being made extra long, so that a back seat can be added if necessary at a small cost. These haev been made to the order of Messrs Palmer, of Hangaroa, and Mrs J. W. Johnston. A lmggv for Mr Boland was made with an extra wide seat to carry three if required, and is Mr Ormond’s own design, being fitted with butterfly wings. Other buggies for Mr _ Hira Paenga and four others are of similar design, and reflect credit on the workmanship displayed Two specially light tray buggies have been built for speed aiid light draught.a nd are fitted with curved wings. There is practically nothing to break in this style of undercarriage, and it is easily cleaned. 'These have been executed to the orders of Messrs Bayly and J Williamson. There is also on exhibition to-dav five Baad'ey gigs, two having Goodrich rubber tyres, for the'purpose of fixing these tyres on, a special machine has been installed by’Mr Ormond, and a plentiful supply of rubber is always kept in stock, so* that vehicles may be re-tyred in rubber if necessary. The vehicles exhibited are trimmed in the best leather, which is) much cheaper than the imitation feather. 1 he -minting and decorating of the vehicles is carried out in the most pleasing manner, tho trav gigs are exceptionally suited tor this district, the body being roomy to accommodate parcels, while the acli it stable seat allows perfect balance to be maintained. There are a number of other equa’ly well-furnished gigs, traps, etc., on exhibition, which reflect the highest credit on this wellknown coachbuildeiv ADAIR BROTHERS, LTD. This well-known Gladstone Road house was worthily represented by a unique display of goods, comprising the leading and novel linos at present

iii season. Oriental goods form a strong section of the show, in the shape of rugs and other articles. The Malabar and Mezapore rugs are of outstanding richness and excellence, and alone command people’s inspection, while the selection of Parisian goods is of rare attractiveness and quality. Some heavy and beautifully patterned carpets of varying quality are on view, and a big selection _of curtains and curtainings. containing no less than 350 pairs. The goods, which are to be disposed of on the ground to-day, will doubtless meet with a ready sale.

DALCETY’S DISPLAY. As hi the past, Dalgety and . Company, Ltd., have featunsed their display until it is a veritable bazaar or outstanding interest to all, town and country folk alike. Prominent m the display is the Wolseley separator —a machine well tried and highly spoken of by numerous local users, whose names can be supplied on application to the office. These machines are simplicity itself, it being lmposible to assembly tliojii incorrectly; no grooves, slots or numbers to worry the harrassed farmer. The motto therefore appears to be Buy a Wolseley Separator and your worry ceases.” In conversation with the manager of a large butter factory ho expressed regret that the Wolseley separator had not been introduced into his district years sooner. As agents for Messrs Donald and Sons, Ltd., Masterton, there is on exhibition, that firm’s well-known woolpress, wire strainer (pocket and Federal) stumping jack, etc. A safety saw bench and a maize cultivator are well worthy of inspection. Quibell’s sheep dip—both powder and liquid—and Jverol disinfectant—liquid and powder—make a very attractive display. I bus® preparations axe so well known that comment is not liooessavy. Sutton s seeds, for which the company are the local agents, are exhibited, some marigolds grown at Pulia, and visitors should not miss the opportunity of seeing what our flats are capable ol producing, providing the seed is good. The Wolseley Shep Shearing Machine Coy. have a most attractive display, comprised a two-stand "Gem sellcontained plant, the Standard overhead gear for high or love sheds, ana the famous Wolseley electrical gear The crowd that has thronged round this exhibit is a convincing proof ot the popularity of the Wolseley. Ihe No. G shear which the company make a speciality of, appears to be the last word in shearing machines, and the number of local slieepfarmers who are discarding other macnines and repiacin«r with the No. G shear, is sufficient proof of its superiority. The electric-allv-driven machines are perfect, and for those who have water power available, nothing could he better. Columns could lie written about this portion of the exhibit, but we would advise those interested to inspect foi themselves. The Standard Llectric gear is being driven by a W 0.seley” benzine engine. This class ot engine, though only a short time on the market, lias met with an enormous sale and the makers are hard pressed to meet the demand. The engines are made entirely at the Wolseley Works, Birmingham, _ England, and every care and attention is liestowed oil them. Every engine is running under working conditions before being despatched from the factory. _lo those requiring an engine, that is simple, and easily handled, the W o.selev will be found to be invaluable. It is always ready for work—no lamp, no fire—one turn on the handle and away she goes. The snecial features of the Wolseley machines are: Ring oilers for top' bearings, improvements to friction wheels, oil shredders on friction spindles, Dermatine Cones, instead of leather, special tube springs, absolutely screwless joints, steel cores, reinforced forks, patent cutters and combs (all hand finished and ready for work) and many other improvements, which are attractively displayed on a specially-designed show case. 1 The Wolseley Company, \\ elling ton, give free tuition to all owners. then sons and leading hands, and will be pleased to receive a call when the verv best advice will be given by specially qualified shearing mahcine and engine experts. Mr R. L. Rounthwaite, who is so favorably know n to all pastoralists and is now permanently stationed in. the district, is in charge of the exhibit. ,

COMMON, SHELTON AND CO. The above Ann have arranged a stand containing much that will be found to interest show-goers. \ acimm cleaners take a leading part. The “Babv Daisv” vacuum cleaner, as it is called, quickly and tkoorughly removes nil rubbisli, dirt- oncl dust* fioni floors, stairs, furniture, pictures, ledgers. fancy woodwork, etc. It works on the suction principal, and requires little or no exertion to manipulate. By slowly working a handle backward and forward sufficient suction is caused to draw in pieces of rag, straw, small stones, and even to draw fine dust right through a carpet. A new line which will be of special interest to farmers is cyclone chain netting for sheep yards. A sample is erected, and it makes a very strong and substantial fence. An attractive showing of crackproof garden hose is very noticeable. This is specially made for rough use and can be doubled up and walked upon without cracking. It is made in five hundred feet lengths, and will stand very severe pressure, y bile tho cost is no more than ordinary hose. Amongst other things there is a neat array of beehives and beekeepers’ requisites, a fine display of perfection kerosene stoves and ovens, separators and churns of various kinds, numerous makes of lawn-mow-ers, washing machines and cast-iron boiler frames, besides Oliver, garden and hill-side ploughs, horse boos, Planet jr drills and hose, corn shellers, tubular wheelbarrows, timber jacks, waggon packs, spray pumps, potato sprayers, etc., etc. There is also shown a splendid sample of birch posts, which have been obtained in the Motu district.

Amongst the various instruments displayed are emascnlators, tooth forceps, gags, drenching bits, stake forceps and ecraseurs, dental flouts or rasps, teat dilators, milking tubes, etc., etc. The medicines, which are composed from finest ingredients, consist of drenches, spavin cure, embrocation blisters, gall cure, dairy ointment, udder specific, scour cure, etc., etc. Mr Edward Oaks will be in personal attendance soliciting inquiries from those interested.

WI -A. SAMS AND KETTLE, LTD. The exhibit of Messrs Williams and Kettle, Ltd, compares very favorably with that of last year. They make a fine display of agricultural machinery, farm implements, and general merchandise. A feature of their display is the exhibition of Donald and Son’s sheep-shearing machines, for which the firm are the local agents. One of these machines was at work on the ground yesterday, being driven by a Fairbank’s Morse benzine engine, with overhead gear belt. This machine is the only one of its kind with bcT.tdriven over-head gear, and seems to be a great labor saver as well as being economical. The firm also has on exhibit Donald and Sons’ wool presses, lifting jacks, gate fasteners, and gate hinge's; Fairbank’s Morse saw benchr Benicia disc reversible ploughs; Oliver and Hornsby Planet jr ploughs of various description; Alpha-Laval separators (for which the firm ate solp agents), and a general display of Frimlev fruits, Te 'Mata wines, merchandise and groceries.

The firm has also the agency for the Jersey Queen mangold seed, which has always given such satisfaction at the Government farms ol instruction, and for Alee. Robertson s horse and cow medicines, Murton s, Robertson’s and Ln>W sWp dips, all of which are prominently shown, a'ong with Cooper's and juittle’s sheep

Ihe _eXiu bition attracted a great deal of attention from visitors to the show yesterday! and no doubt will again form one ,of the sights to-day.

JOHN CHAMBERS AND SON. Messrs John Chambers and Son, Lt<l have on exhibition, in full workinn order, a Moffat-Virtue sheepshearing machine, driven by the latest style of Tangye benzine engines. The chief feature of this machine, while being a great labor-saver ami economSr is that there i/> very little vibration' in connection with the handpiece, and consequently the sheep are clean* shorn The Tangye engine is fitted Si, an up-to-date carburettor wtach ensures perfect running of the nhear W machines.

Ihe exnitut bound to attract a large number of sight-seers to-day, as it did yesmrdav.

OK ITU BUTTER FACTORY. In the produce shed the Okitu Butter Factory have a fine disp ay or their well-known brands of hams and bacon, butter, and cheese. Ibis tac torv has made rapid strides during che past 12 months, as will be seen uom the fact that the suppliers are now ion against 8-1 last year. The pro-m-ietarv are giving the highest price for butter fat?audit is said that Itheir prices for pigs are unequalled m the Dominion. Ihe average test., factory For the past season wa= 4,10 d, which'is a matter for congratulation, as this is ahead of the celeb ratedp.ovince for butter, Taranaki. Ike ex Mbits shown by the Okitu Factory speak volumes for the splendid facilities offered in Poverty Bay for dating and pig-raising, and it is only a matter of a little time when them industries should assume large dimensions. At least, that is the conclusion we are forced to come to by the splendid manufactures of butter and cheese and hams and bacon which are now being shown at our annual show ana which no doubt is the result of tne enterprise shown by the proprietor, Mr V. D. Lysnar.

MR. CHOVEAUX. 4.n epcelent display is that shown bv* Mr Choveaux, the local agent tor Spencer pianos, Columbia gramophones, zonophones, and Wertheim sewing machines, all of which are splendidly represented in the choice exhibits, made. The Spencer pianos are very fine, a remark which can also be applied to the nice collection of gramophones and Vertheim sewing machines. Mr Geo. E. Cowell, who is the outside representative for tiie mm, informed a reporter that there is a bio demand for the Spencer pianos, and that these can be haa on exceptionally easy terms, the obiect being to bring them within tne reach or all. Gramophones, too, can he obtained on very reasonable terms and ladies can secure the wonderiul Wertkeim sewing machines at what is notf a household term —2s 6d a week, lne exhibit is being made in the produce shed, and no doubt a cource of great attraction to-day. MR. T. HOLDS WORTH. “There is nothing like leather” is universa'Ty admitted to be a truthful old axiom', but we will be excused rr we mention that it received another exemplification yesterday when we visited the produce shed at the tehow, where one of the first things that attracted our attention was the exquisite display of ladies’ and gents boots and shoes on view by Mr T. Holdsworth, the well-known boot and shoe importer. of Gladstone _ Hoad, Gisborne. These are shown in glass cases, and the aitistic arrangement displaced test-ines to the good qua tty of the' goods and should add further lustre to the reputation gained by Mr Holdsworth for his high-class goods, which receive a splendid example in the exhibit he makes at the show.

E. CHRiSP AND SON. The display of musical instruments and the other agencies controlled by E. Chrisp and Son will prove interesting and instructive. Tne will-known firm has, for a number of years, catered for the requirements oi the home pianos, gramophones, and Singer sewing machines, together with music and musical instruments, being their chief lines. The ‘‘Show Special” is a British piano, guaranteed by the firm and offered at this time unaer inviting conditions. “His Master’s Voice” gramophones and records are so much in demand and in favor with music lovers, that this section of the display will be completed. with the latest cabinet machines, which will be used to demonstrate the wonderful advancement made by the Gramophone Co. Singer sewing machines: There is always something new added to the Singer to interest the ladies, and the 66-1 machine —with a shuttle will be worth investigating. In each department of their display there is some special “show” inducement offered to purchasers, and visitors will be made welcome at Chrisp s. They have two shops between the produce stalls and the grandstand, and free literature is suplied to those interested.
