METROPOLITAN SHOW
PREPARATIONS FOB NOVEMBER
There are many interesting features in the schedule which has just been is^~ sued for the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association's annual show, which this year is to be held at /' Christchurch on November Bth and 9th. In the live stock sections, all. the wide-range of cattle, .sheep and horses usually found at the Christchurch Show are fully covered, and an * interesting feature of the Corriedale section this year will be the special prize of flO 10s for a Corriedale rani, two-tooth or over, to be judged on a wool and mutton basis.* There is a restriction that the wool should not be above 56 >s, the donors evidently being of opinion that some of the Corriedale „ wool was inclined to run too fine, to the detriment of carcase and constitution. A wool expert is to'act with the iudge of Corriedale rams in making the award. As usual, very liberal prize money is offered by the Association in all the live stock classes and several new features introduced last year for the entertainment of show patrons have been retained in the new schedule."
On the domestic side the fancy work classes have been brought up to date and there is much in the schedule of
interest to ladies.
