MEETING OF INGLEWOOD CLUB.

REPORT ON YEAR’S ACTIVITIES.

The annual meeting of the Inglewood Jersey Breeders’ Club was held on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. J. Klenner was chairman.

The report presented showed the year had been most successful. A bull fair was held in September under the auspices of the club, and good prices were realised in comparison with those at other fairs, although not as high as in the previous year. More than 60 entries were received and the majority were sold. The club thanked the auctioneers, Newton King Ltd., for the organisation, of the fair and the endeavours to make it successful.

A field day was held on Mr. E. •J. . Clough's farm in April and was most successful, Messrs. Bell and Morgan being the demonstrators. Regarding C.OJS. testing in the Inglewood district good records were made by the cows tested. Mrs. O’Sullivan won the gold medal in . the senior two-year-old class with Maori Judy (714.291 b fat) and the bronze medal in the same class with Dawning Peace (647.771 b fat). Mr. E. J. Clough won the mature cow class with Cyrello’s Twylish Girl (970.981 b fat). Mr. Clough also received a special medal for cows producing more than 7501 b fat. Mr. Browning received a special gold medal fox* his Nga Tawa Shiela, which produced 796.96 lb fat. It had been decided to hold the annual bull fair on October 3. Prospects appeared to be brighter than they have been for some time, and it is hoped prices would continue to rise, for with better prices for produce breeders could expect an increased price for their stock. The balance-sheet showed a credit balance of £8 10s sd. Receipts totalled £l6 6s 3d and expenditure £7 15s lOd. The secretary was voted an honorarium of ■*-“3. election of officers resulted: President, Mr. J. Klenner; vice-president, Mr. E. J- Clough; committee, Messrs. Browning, F. Bracegirdle, J. Young, H. Rumble and C. Vile. Mr. Messenger was reelected auditor. A motion was carried to the effect that the boundaries of the club be the monument at Lepperton the county boundary, Mountain Road south and Kent Road on Junction Road west. • The club decided to favour the guaranteeing of an amount of £l2 10s in the event of a £5OO Taranaki Oaks being held, but was not agreeable to paying the money into a trust account at present. The president and vice-president were appointed delegates to attend a meeting at Stratford to discuss the matter.
