In the seven events 33 horses and 19 ponies competed. The South Island touring team which has just completed a tour of the North Island, jumped well, three of the horses—E. Uprichard’s Land Rover B. G. Rutherford’s Bomber, and W. Wadworth’s McGregor taking the major placings in most events. Uprichard and Rutherford secured the same number of points, and will share the Kilarney Cup for most points in the show. In the pony sections the outsanding competitors were Miss E.
