SPECIAL RIBBONS AWARDED AT THE SHOW A pleasing feature of the Waikato Central Agricultural Association's Show was the presentation of two very handsome special championship ribbons to the champion hack and champion hunter respectively. The former was given by the wife of the president, Mrs H. J. Crowther, and the latter by Mrs Frank Vosper. The ribbons were of broad white silk, tf;swelled at either end, and the lettering beautifully embroidered. These ribbons took the place of the ordinary championship ribbons, and were highly prized by the winners of the two important events.
