; SHEARING RECORDS ! ' Keen rivalry exists in the shearing records in liio different sheds around ; the East Coast, says an exchange, but a . one-day tally put up by four men'in f' 3lessrs.' AY. and 'I'V Franklin's _ shed at Mangatuna will take a lot of clipping to beat. The tally of tho four men for the day was 1212, and this is regarded as probably a world's record for nine hoars'' machine shearing. The individual tallies were: W. Vol]a, I; Lr. Stew- , tart, 335; S, Cope, 31G; — Burkenshaw, £12. The sheep were mostly lambs, with a fair proportion of uyes. W. Vella is , a- resident of Matamau, being a. New ■Zeaiander of Dalmatian parentage, and 'has previously held the world record. Last year, when shearing for Mr. T!. B. l'otman, of Omatane, on the Main Trunk, he put up u record of 347 Homneys in nine hours, anil then lost 10 ; minutes in the afternoon, Six of th 6 men on the day Vella broke the record -. last year put. through IGB7 6heep, aud on ; the following day their tally was -1703. For many years tho world's shearing record was held by a Maori shearer, Baihaiiea, Who' about 11 years ago put through 332 Eomncy<i in, the <lay. > This record remained until Vella broke it two years ago with 33!) lioimieys, and last. Tear further extended it to 3-17. His latest tally of 361 should be hard to beat.
