Some of the bigger events are to be decided the first day. The maiden hack, which has attracted 40 entries, is the first on the list for saddle horses, 'and this is to commence at 10 a.in. Other attractions for to-morrow will be the ticketing of most of the cattle, all stud sheep, and crossbred hoggets, produce and cooking, dog trials and fleeces.
