And last year at the Southland Agricultural -and Pastoral Society's Grand Show, considerat ble excitement was manifested between the ' respective merits of Souihthorne and Prince of Wales; so close was the contest that it was puzzling to fix on the ultimate winner. Never were hoises subjected to such a severe tost — they were carefully inspected, but still the \ judges seemed dissatisfied, and after a careful debate awarded the red ticket to Prince of Wales, at the same time pronounced South■thornetobe quite on equal terms with the .first horse.
