THE WALKING SHOW.

The annual parade of stud horses was held this morning in the usual paddock off Grey Road. The weather was very cold, and a result of it was that many of the horses were not seen at their best. The attendance of farmers and others interested was very good. The parade was under the direction of Messrs R. Irving, Kelland, Mundell, McLaren, and other memlers of the committee, who were ably assisted by the Secretary, Mr Gordon P, Wood. The parade state was as follows : THOEOU GHBR li D. Rev.

They belong to the Waimato district, and came out from Home last year. Other horses to attract more than usual attention were Young Extinguisher and Welcome Willie. Among the “hackneys” there were a couple of new ones, Forrester and Saeramento, the former a coacher and the latter a trotter. So far as this district is concerned the most important class is the draughts, and judging by the lot shown this morning, breeders should have no difficulty in getting some

first class sires.
