ROYAL SHOW OPENS

Splendid Sheep Classes

CH AMPIONSH IP AWARDS

By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, November 11. The Royal Show opened to-day in fine weather. Most of the judging was completed to-day and, as many of the classes were largo, the judges had a very busy day. The representation of sheep was probably the finest ever assembled in New Zealand and could have been excelled in variety and quality in few parts of the world. The show of Clydesdales was outstanding, showing the progress of the revival of interest in the draught horse. Following is the list of winners of championships : — Sheep.
