Grandmothers and their respective colours are as follows: — Mrs W. Goldsmith, Sm\ representing The Armed Services —Blue; Mrs I. Campbell representing the Sharemilkers —Orange; Mrs A. Marx representing the Farmers —Red; .Mrs J. Rutherford representing the'industries —Green. The Derby will be concluded by a function —the details of which will be published later —on the King's Birthday (June 4th) and finally by a Grand Derby Bali at the Winter Show Buildings in the evening.
