CANTERBURY A. AND P. SHOW

THE CHAMPIONSHIP AWARDS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. Th© Canterbury A. and P. Association’s annual show was opened to-day, when the judging of practically all the important sections, except the light horse classes, was done. The weather was dull but fine to-day and the attendance, never impressive on judging day, was less than usual.

The sheep classes were all well filled and the entry represented the best quality. The cattle sections were strong, especially in the dairy classes. Fat cattle were disappointing, doubtless owing to th© backward season. The entry of horses was even. Light horses were more numerous than last year and the quality of Clydesdales was exceptionally good. Following were the championship awards: —
