BUCK-JUMPING CONTESTS.
PREVENTION OF CRUELTY,
"I think we should assure the society that we have no cruel intentions toward any of the animals in the sho\v," said a member of the Auckland Agricultural and Pastoral Association yesterday, when a letter from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, regarding the proposal to stage buck-jumping and steer-riding competitions was read. . Tho letter stated the society trusted that no artificial devices such as flank ropes would be employed to transform horses into back-jumpers. The services of the society's inspector were also offered if the association should feel in need of guidance. The secretary said that the association had been unable to procure any buck-jumping horses, as it had refused to take any" but genuine ''outlaws." The excitement to be derived from the steeiriding competitions would depend upon the individual ideas of the steers themselves and, possibly, of the riders. association disapproved of cruelty in any form, and there was no intention that anv artificial methods should be resorted
to. The letter was received.
