HORSES.

THOROUGHBREDS. The entries in the thoroughbred classes are on the^jbole disappointing. JLn each of several classes there was only r pne entry. The - well-known ex-racer Coronet (Castor—Necklace) now owned by Mr Harry Vine, Manaia, was ad]usg£lSbH|Uftpion. Coronet is a won- * derf ull^ neat horse and shows a lot of , quality and good ion. Malatua,, of -$ew Zealand Cup fame, which was aWarded^sepofld, is- also a .fine animal. Campnre, fey Carbine, is a good horse, , but^tooplig^t^below the knee. There was jgrapfjcal|y no competition in the "other classes!' Entirej-rH, -L. Vine's Coronet 1, D. O'Brien's M*alatua 2, J. Bond's Camp--fire 3. Colt from August 1, 1905— J.

'Phe- draught classes fell short of expKWflofas" •mtaeWcally, but the quality ■of the entries was.;, excellent. What bettejtganjap.Tjquld be wished for than the excellent standard set by the mare, Gtenjp^?, T^ransftn's young stock al\rSy4lTfe6las^fts <yw^in-any part of the Island, and to-day^,'exhibition was as fij^bil^^icoulA see- k*sfafespk *$fafespn r. oijß jo|;the ,fine show ,is due practically altogether to* i*j.e jSpujtti Taranaki breeders.

Had it nokj^een^ £or Messrs Bilenier and Mitcneirtfie Hawße's Bay show would have fallen- short of what it did in horseW At Palmerston North, Wanganui, and Hawera Messrs Mitchell, Bfe^erfa^d Alexander were also so promFpent as'ib be practically the main-siaijaLtbfi-dx^JJgnt .section. The most notable en^try was Mr Bremer's wtonderful mare Glennie, who has taken P.ri^SfljftfMHHft -*U comer. s>, .She has establusoea neteflu as tne "champion of tire North Island and it is doubtful: if she caji be beaten in the Dominion. Her only rival is"~Princess Fanny, ,tlie . cfe^ny>i,oj}; but in no way can it De clajjßed ,fUat /this mare beats Mr Bremer's. jf "anything, honours lie w|tb,-the yTayanttki &ome gQod o^esj Hav^fe jbee^ b^at^ri I by' r 'her ; to-dJay, b«t that is no discredit to them.
