NORTHERN A. AND P. SHOW.

», SECOND DAY. Magnificent weather favoured tho second day's show, and there was a largo attendance of tho public. The gate takings for tho two days were £100 (last year £94 IGs). Tlio last time £100 was taken was at the 1891 show: The attractions of a band and competitions, and tho splendid parade oi' stock, were features which appealed to the holiday-makers. Among those on the ground, tho committee were glad to welcome Mr J. Stalker on his return From the North of England, and Mr R. Liggett, a warm supporter who, having met with an accident, had not been able to take his usual place on the committee. Mr Chas. I/eei-h, as president, with Messrs A. Mcintosh and A. S. Clarkson, as vice-presidents, left nothing omitted in tho entertainment of visitors. Mr B. S. Jordan, as secretary, proved equal to all emergency, and the committee and class stewards left nothing to be desired. Tlie judges gave satisfaction, but in the draught horses and merino sheep they were somewhat overtaxed to £et the work don in early time. In the concluding events in tho draught horse section, Mr T. "Wyllie was first with Flora McDonald and second with Hope. The eight mares in regular work were led by Mr H. E. Fincham's Gladys, which was reserved champion. Tho second was Mr K. Mcintosh's Heather Belle, and third Mr Fincham's Grace. The latter exhibitor, with Gladys r.nd Grace, won in pairs: Mr Mcintosh's Heather Belle and Heather Bloom second. This exhibitor, with the two Heathers and Blossom, was first in three-horse team. In carriers' horses Hend-v Bros, and Mr W. H. Tubman were orize-takers. The champion maro on the ground was Mr P. Small's Nancy Lee. Mr J. Well's Shepherd Queen, the champion two-year-old, mado a good performance all through. Mr P. Small s Baron Carlton (.imp.) was reserved champion in draught entires. There was a strong entry in cattle. For bull., any age, Mr R. Liggett"s Tlie Chief, bred by exhibitor, was ... fine level sire with massive head and good carriage. Mr Scoone's Waterloo Pride, second, was in every way a prime useful bull, bred by Mr W. li. Cabbie. Tne cliampioii.hip was taken by Mr John's three-year-old bull Devonshire Duke, from Beaulieu Duke, who was a splendid animal in every war. Barker Bros., with Devondah* Diike. took the two-year-old prize and a special for yearling bull. In cr.ws or heifers the judgnr. placed Mrs John Brown's Duchess 111. first and chain-

p.oii. '»ut this \va_ prow_s-ed against, as it was not in calf, and Mr W. Scoone's Daisy, 2nd, took the honours, the same exhibitor takins second and third prizes.

'Pile fine combing merinos showed an improvement on last Show. .Mr Jas. Stevenson's symmetrical and wellclothed ram wa.s first and champion, being closely run by Mr C. 11. Ensor, who held his own in ram hoggets with two of .superior type and quality. The latter exhibitor gained the championship for owes with a sheep of very superior type, and wan first in single two and pens of three. In the strong combing merinos Mr J. Stevenson was first, and gained tho championship and second for wellframed densely-woolled sheep, the Glens of Tekoa being second and very highly commended. Stonyroyd Estate being highly commended in a c]ass of thirteen, which gave the judges some trouble. Mr Stevenson took tho two main prizes with ram hoggets, Glens of Tekoa third and v.h.c, and Mr E. B. Millton h.c. in a class of niue. In tho ewes, Mr Stevenson got the champion prize, and was to tho fore in ewe hoggets, Mr E. B. Millton's flock scoring in three ewe hoggets. It was noticed by the judge that in the wool of many of the exhibits there was a stain, indicating a break in tho wool growth. The English Leicester sheep were well brought out, and showed improving style and breeding. Tho champion ram was shown by Mr J. G. A. Ruddcnklau, who also scored for three ewes with lamb and three ewo hoggets. In ram hoggets Mr G. D. Greenwood's fivo sheep vera first, Mr Ruddenklau being second and v.h.c. For cwo with lamb, Mrs J.

Stevenson was first and second in ram hoggets, in three ewes above 18-months with lambs at foot, and three owe hoggets. Mr Skevington wa.s first and third in single ewo hoggets, and Mr Stevenson second. The Southdown classes were largely made np of the five entries of Mr J. Johns, who gained both ram and ewo championships. Mr A. H. TurnbulPs ram hogget was very highly commended, and Mr J. Stevenson obtained a similar card in. ewo hoggets. Tn the Shrophire Downs a good class of sheep were shown by Mr Johns, who gained most of tho awards. Thore was a small show of halfbreds by Messrs J. Stalker, H. Ensor, and Barker Bros. Tho Corri.dales produced representative entries and keen competition. In rams, any age, Mr C. H. Ensor was first, as well as in three ram hoggets; but Mr G. D. Greenwood's flock were first in ewes with lambs, _ingle ram hoggets, single ewo hoggets, and three ewe hoggets. Mr J. F.
