Grant, of Taupiri, was particularly pleased with the quality. I-lo' said as far as the carriage horses wore conecrnj ed the entries were very few, which was only to be expected to-day. There j was one outstanding horse in Mr 11. j Growth or’s Ringer. This horse was fit i to travel anywhere. Concerning the ponies, they were a j fine section, and on type would do well |at any show. The entries were exceptionally good and he had been informed were a record. He felt that every encouragement should be given to the juveniles to show at the annual fixtures. Such an attitude would, be reflected in future shows. Mr Clias. Hargreaves, of Hautapu, who is recognised as the father of the juvenile pony events at the show, sail the ponies were the best he had seen at Cambridge, or at any other show in South Auckland.. The 14.2 hands ponies made the best ring he had seen out yet in these parts. Mr Woodward’s champion was a fine little animal and fully deserving, of the award. TH!E GRAND PARADE. While the ’exhibitor takes a keen interest in practically every individual class in the section with which he is associated the general public attend to; enjoy a general survey. However, to everyone the grand parade makes its appeal and this feature on People’s Day presented a very fine spectacle. As the numerous .exhibits filed out into the centre of the showgrounds one saw an aggregation of quality horses, cattle, riders and drivers, that would do credit to any show in the Dominion. It was said by more than one that the quality of the horses and cattle was fully up to 'Royal Show standard. Certainly it was up, the high class scon at late local shows, even if the numbers were slightly less. The parade stewards, Messrs Wynn Brown, 11. .Crowthcr, A. C. Bertel,sen, IJ- Windsor, and h.ead stewards are to be congratulated on the organising of the parade. The Municipal Band played appropriate music as the parade proceeded. Led by the respective champions of the * various sections the splendid entries * of sleek Jerseys headed the parade, followed by tile pretty Ayrshires, Milking * Shorthorns and then the robust Fries- A inns. Demonstrating that there are * still uses for heavy horses was the fine C section of draughts and their youngsters. Then came the thoroughbreds, | led by that magnificent entire, Gasbag, A with his numerous ribbons, including Royal Show honours, flying. The great array of hacks and hunters once again demonstrated that Cambridge and the c Waikato is the home of quality horses. The children and tlieir ponies made a brave show, while the presence of harness horses helped to provide a com- I prehensive spectacle that received the i J merited, appreciation of the large con- ( course of people. 3
