Competition was close and Interesting due to the fact that there were local and visiting entries present An interesting feature was that three of the judges gained placlngs tn classes they were not judging and several part judges of these trials were among stake winners. It was very pleasing to note that the young farmers who competed were prominin ent.

The Waikari-Omlhi trial trophies were won with handsome aggregates by N. Briggs. E. Lewis, J. Kennedy. J. Francis, H. Inch and T. Barwell The oldest competitor, W. Grueber, had a successful day also, and the two women competitors. Mesdames Hutton and Kennedy, gave excellent displays.
