HAWERA SPRING HORSE FAIR

Both breeders and buyers of high-class horses now recognise South Taranaki as being the Dominion's leading breeding centre. This fact is illustrated by the number of horses that are bred in that district and by the quality and number that arc offered at the local horse fairs, and these fairs are regarded as being quite equal to any bold south of the line. At this year's sales the horses to be submitted are a very fine selection, and are superior both in quality and numbers to those offered at previous sales. They are a good conditioned lev, specially selected, the majority coming direct from the breeders' hands, and comprise some excellent types of all descriptions.
