PALMERSTON N., This Day.
The Spring Show opened in perfect weather. There was a heavy attendance in the forenoon. The gate takings yesterday totalled £142, compared with £140 last year—the Royal Show. Before lunch the ring events were witnessed by crowds in the stands.
Mr. D. F. Wiiber, former American Consul in New Zealand, to-day personally presented his massive silver cup for Friesians to Mr. Stevenson on behalf of the Pirie Land Company. He also presented a gold medal to Mr. J. Stevenson, who received it on behalf of last year's winner.of the cup,' the. Weraroa Government Farm. Mr. Wiiber remarked that it was a curious coincidence two brothers in different parts of the Dominion winning the cup two years in succession. Mr. Wiiber facetiously remarked that Friesian breeders in New Zealand had better look to their laurels ; it seemed to him the Stevenson family was conspiring lo keep the Wiiber Cup in the family.
