In addition to the ploughing there are two horse-lea.ping competitions, and as a number of the members of the Hunt Club intend to compete, in addition to others, there is good material for a day's sport. The jumping competitions do not start until the afternoon. In addition there will be several chain-stepping competitions, the prizes for which have been donated. The entrance fee for this event will be one shilling, the prize being 10s. All patrons will receive a free ticket for the •jreigh.t-guessing competition, the prize for which is ono of Mr. Birdling's best fa;t sheep.
