QUALITY HORSES

ANNUAL PARADE OF CLYDESDALES SUNSHINE AT TAHUNA PARK Clydesdale horses splendidly groomed and of excellent quality were viewed by the judges (Messrs John Tisdall, of Oamaru, and J. J. Wyllie, of Omihi) at the annual parade of entire horees conducted by the Otago A. and P. Society to-day at Tahyna Park. The quality all round, in fact, w r as very high, and the winning animals had to be outstanding to secure awards. Breeders and others interested attended to the number of several hundreds, and followed closely the judging in the various classes. Mr Andrew Carruthers, of Middlemarch. had a number of horses on the ground, but did not show them owing to a family bereavement. Results:— CLASS I. Four-year-olds or over.
