“You have two classes in the Show schedule,” said a man who walked into the Wanganui Agricultural Association’s office yesterday, “one for a spring-cart mare or gelding, up to one ton (to* be driven), and a spring cart mare or gelding, up to half a ton {to be driven).” “Yes,” said the secretary, patiently. “Well, I’ve put my horse on the weigh-bridge, and he goes just over a half a ton,” replied the prospective exhibitor: “Couldn’t you put on a special class?” When it was explained that the schedule referred to pulling weight and not live stock weight'the exhibitor’s face brightened, and he reckoned that his horse was good for at least five tons.
