STUD HORSES

ANNUAL PARADE OF CLYDESDALES REGENT IMPORTATIONS COMPETE Including several recently imported Clydesdale stallions, a few Otago-bred horses which were making their first appearance in Dunedin, and a number of others shown in past years, the annul parade of entire horses at Tahuna Park to-day comprised one of the most select groups exhibited locally for some years. Especially in the aged classes, the quality was excellent, and the judges—Messrs David Caldwell (Edendale) and Alexander Geddes (Methven) —had quite a difficult task in making their awards. Competition was very much keener, due to the fact that last year’s first and second winners were not entered. This was the fifty-second annual show conducted by the Otago Agricultural aud Pastoral Society, and it was extremely gratifying that entries should come from as far south as Gore and as. far north as Fairlie. There was a good muster of spectators when the grand parade was held prior to the commencement of the judging, and special interest was taken in the horses that had not previously been seen in the ring. Awards

Others; R. T. Duthie’s (Dunedin) Netherley Norman, D. J. M'Kcnzie’s (Dunedin) Gowrie Mac. The first three entries were outstanding in probably one of the strongest classes ever seen here, said the judges, who took considerable time to separate the horses. The first prize winner was evenly balanced, with good quality hair and bones, and was nicely set in the ankles. The second was also very fine, with plenty of size' and weight, but was not so good in the hind quarters or in the quality of hair as the winner. The third showed a good breedy appearance.

THREE-YEAR-OLDS. ;Firsfc prize, £4; second, £2; tliird, £l. John Young’s (Allanton) Ochtertyre Cannie Mac (by M'Quaid of Ochtertyre out of Lady Marcellus of Ochtertyre) ... ... 1 Andrew .Grant’s (Fairlie) Allandale Winooka (by Deire out of Allandale Rose) 2 W.

ond was of good quality, but was a little light. TWO-YEAR-OLDS. First prize £3, second £2, third £l.

Andrew Grant’s (Pairlie) Allandale Chatham (bv Desire out of Craigie Ella) 1 Andrew Carruthers’s (Middlemarch) Meditation (by Scotland’s Farewell out of Netherton Meda) 2 Brown Brothers’ (Kakanui) Aorere (by Desire out of Lady Kitchener) 3

Blair’s (Outram) Abbotsford Advance, Robert Sprott’s (Momona) Gay Gordon. The first placed colt was very prominent in the class, said the judges. The class was, of course, a young one, the placings useful colts, which would probably grow into handy horses in a couple of years. ONE-YEAR-OLDS. First prize £3, second £2, third £l. Coubrough and Hamilton’s (Kelso) Konnarty (by Roseprint out of Rosebud) „ 1 Andrew Carruthers’s (Middlemarch) Medallion (by Scotland’s Farewell out of Netherton Meda) 2 Thomas Carruthers’s (Middlemarch) Seagrave (by Sealim out of Seamaid) 3 It was a pleasure to see a colt with such a good catch of the_ ground as the winner, remarked the judges, who added that the first placed colt gave promise of being a very fine horse in the next few years. The second placed was' also a very fine type of colt. CHAMPION STALLION. Thomas Logan’s Craigie Crest was judged the champion of the show, winning the coveted Wright, Stephenson Cup and the Donald Reid Memorial Challenge Shield. Andrew’ Grant’s Dunlop’s Renown was aw’arded the reserve champion ribbon.
