'sent was Sir G. J. Anderson, M.P., the ! "new member for the district, and the greet--ings showered on this gentleman from all sides showed his win to have been a. most j popular one. From an early hour country j residents concentrated on Gofe, and all I through the morning the roads approaching j it appeared long, writhing columns of hot, 1 white dust, which, settling on the way- • faxers, gave them an ae&thetic,. if floury, j appearance- ' ■ I The main item of this, the second, day was the horse show, which was in every way j excellent. The presence of animals such ' as Duncraig, Montgomery, Awa Moa, and t Avon Prince placed the draught section . beyond reproach. The entries for entire j v colts were numerous, and the- animals were ' most promising. Another notable feature ,w-as the display of brood mares with foal 1 at foot. Among these may be mentioned .

Grey's Border Leioesters, however, worthily bore out the best traditions of tha,t bree<Jer's flock, ami- with his exhibts he gained practically a.\\ the prices.
