THE SYDNEY SHOW.

AFFECTED BY RAIN. JUDGING IN PROGRESS. SYDNEY, April 7. The Royal Show to-day was seriously marred by drenching rain. However, the judging of horses, fruit, poultry and other district exhibits went on without interruption. New’Zealand-bred Clydesdales, as in former years, figured largely and successfully ill the Clydesdale stallion sections, gaining first awards in the two, three, and under tour-year-old classes, also second and third awards in two and three-year-old classes. The champion prize went to the New South VYaies Department of Agriculture, and the reserve champion prize to A. Stokes’s “Noble Douglas,” imported from New Zealand. The judge in the Clydesdale classes was Mr W. Carruthers, of Lanark, Scotland. Recently imported New Zealand Ayrshire heifers exhibited by Ivorff Brothers attracted considerable attention when the 12.-18 months’ old animals were paraded. They were more torward and heavier in bone than the locally-bred stock, which gained first, second and third awards, the New Zealanders being fourth. The Oberdeen Angus cattle were judged by Mr H. B. Williams, of Gisborne, New Zealand. He was also one of the judges of the fat cattle. He stated'that the Aberdeen Angus classes disclosed an astounding improvement . and it was very difficult to find fault. \\ inooka, the former champion sprinter, won first prize for thoroughbred stallions. ,
