CANTERBURY A. AND P. SHOW.

[BT TEJVBQB.APH — PRESS ASSOCIATION.] CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The weather for the second day of the Canterbury A. and P. .Association's metropolitan show is dull, but there is a.i absence of the high wind and dust which made the first day uncomfortable. In the forenoon there was a fairly large attendance of the public. Judging is proceedings. The eatries of sheep are considerably in- excess of la&fc year's, and the condition of the exhibits in the different classes is markedly good. In the merino classes competition is keen, and increasing interest is being manifested in the Merino Cup competition, the sheep entered for next year's competition being on the ground. The English Leicester class is a particularly strong one, Border Leicesters are well lepresented, and the Romney Marsh exhibits, though not numerous, are of good quality. There is a capital show of Southdowns and Shropshire Downs. An interesting section is that devoted to 'Corriedale halfbred inbred sheep, which are now coming so largely into favour. Fat sheep, as usual, are strongly in evidence and quite up to the standard of previous shows. Little Bros, were awarded champion medal for English Leicester ewe, and the New Zealand and Australian Land Company's Moeraki estate was awarded champion medal for Lircoln ram. In cattle there is a better show than last year, and the entry of pigs is also excellent. The number of draught horses is comparatively small, but the animals shown are of excellent quality. This afternoon the driving, Loyd Lindsay, and other competitions will be held. Sunnyside Asylum was awarded champion medal for Ayrshire cow, and W. B. Clarkson for the champion fat bullock.
