M'Farlane (of Hastings) , ihia is the sixth year in succession that a New Zealand-bred cow has won the championship at the Sydney Royal Show in competition, with cattle bred in Australia of imported from Scotland and Canada. Nora of Waiterenui was champion at the New Zealand Royal Show last November. Prior to being Snipped to Sydney, Nora of Waiterenui was mated to the Lew Zealand Royal champion bull, Sumach of Gwavns, which bull Sir James Murdoch, a noted Australia breeder who recently visited New Zealand, considered hue of the two best bulls of the breed he had seen out of Scotland. Last year’s champion cow, Celandine of Glenelg. bred, by Mr J, W. ElHngham, of Dannevirke (New Zealand), Was hot exhibited, but her two-year-old son, Booroomooka Black Gold, Was placed over a number of , imported bulls when the Reserve Championship was awarded to him.* A fortnight earlier at the importnut Bingara Show this bull Was awarded the championship of his breed and the Supreme Championship over all breeds, While liis dam, Celandine of Glenelg, won similar honours in the female, section. The Reserve Championship in females was awarded to another New Zealandbrefl Cow in Kofan of Waiterenui. .Signal honours fell to two daughters of atm another New Zealand-bred cow in Twinkle of Ben Lomond, as her daughters. Twinkle 2nd and Twinkle 4111, Secured both the championship and reserve at the Brisbane Royal Show, while lief Sou, Bald Blair Star, a first prizC-winnCr at tlie Sydney Royal Show, realised 380 guineas at auction.
