AGRICULTURAL AND PASTORAL SOCIETY OF OTAGO.

We are now enabled to publish the remainder of the prize-list of the late show ;: and we re-publish so much as appeared inu the Times oi Friday, feeling assured thafc it will be satisfactory to many to have thft complete list before them.

It should be remarked that the Mount Eden sheep (Merinos)1 maintained their high character; those exhibited by Mr Buckland, of Auckland, taking prizes in. every class in which they were showr, . with one exception only. The 25 rams, 25 ewes, and 60 lambs, exhibited as extra stock by Mr F. D. Rich, were greatly admired, and were highly commended by the Judges. The lambs were a fair average or Mr Rich's this year's flock. Mr tee's? ' sheep were much praised. The result of! the importation of rams, from GerraanyEome time since was most marked ;. and. at like improvement for another year ortwo, would probably place Mr Lee'a flocks ia & position that there need be little or no. fear of any competitors. Mr Murray's Xeicesters also maintained their weH-kncwn. position; they took prizes in. all the classes in which they were exhibited, and the breed has often stood pre-eminent at.. shows in the old country and eleewbeve.. In every respect those interested in t3jc oldL and most valuable export of the Province had reason to be satisfied with, the displaymade at the Society's first gathering- As we have before said, the horned cattle were on the whole excellent specimens/; and with a practical, application of t'.ie experience as to necessary details now gained, next year's show should be one v ot alone honorable to. Otago, but worthy of veryhigh rank indeed in. the Souther a Hemisphere. ;■■■'. i\ ■■ ■ ■ ' , ■
