THE SECOND DAY

LARGE ATTENDANCE (THOUSANDS OF MOTOR-CARS 1 GRAND PARADE OF STOCK ENDLESS ENTERTAINMENT [by telegraph—special reporter] HAMILTON, Friday Farmers and their families began to arrive comparatively early from every quarter in great numbers for the second day of the Royal Show at Claudelands and bv mid-dav over 4000 cars were parked" in long rows within the trotting track, while hundreds more stood jn all the neighbouring streets. Many more people came by train and bus, and Hamilton also contributed its quota, although the main attendance of townsfolk was not expected until

sbe third day. Nearly all < the work on- the stock , passes had been done on Thursday, but judges in most sections were kept v busy throughout the morning and much of the afternoon in making deferred awards and allocating special prizes. Much interest was taken in the special •classes for fat lambs and export pigs, which had been set down for the second . 'day of the show.

Varied Attractions " Pending the ring events of the afternoon, a start was made with the judging of light harness horses, which made an attractive sight, particularly when brings of stylish trotters were sent round the course. A saddle trotting race for gentlemen riders at mid-dav proved a notable attraction. Further . down the main field the ring for Clydesdales and working horses held a large coterie of enthusiasts until the judging was completed. Sheep dog trials in a far corner also had a good number of spectators, and. so far as could he gathered, frequent announcements over the very efficient loud-speaker system did not distract the dogs from their work. * judging of entries in the dog show was carried on throughout the day and the two rings were a centre of interest as animals of the most widely assorted breeds were brought out for inspection.

Impressive Procession While the opening ceremony by Lord Galwav was still in progress, a start was made with assembling the grand parade, and soon after the speeches ended it was in full progress. The pink-coated marshal was followed by the Mounted Rifles, and then came a fine contingent of hacks and hunters, ridden by adults and children, harness \,horses, graceful thoroughbred and other stallions and massive Clydesdales. Among the cattle the iriesinns, with their striking black and white markings, were most conspicuous, but the long procession of Jerseys, ranging from big bulls to little calves, gave a fine impression, in spite of their more subdueg colouring, while Shorthorns and other breeds contributed much to the general effect. Sustained Interest The parade wound several times round the ring In a series of evolutions, and the thousands of onlookers had a good opportunity of seeing one of the finest collections of show animals ever brought together in the Waikato. However, the spectacle was not prolonged unduly, -and the ring was cleared for the jumping events, which occupied the rest of the afternoon and were watched bv a crowd which filled the main grandstand and extended several deep for hundreds of yards •long the course rails. , . The second heat of the Dominion jumping competition, which had been commenced the previous day, brought out a fine field of riders, and other «vents included the Royal _ championship and the competition for the Waikato Hunt Club Cup.
