OTAGO AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY’S SHOW.

[press association telegram.]

DUNEDIN, November 16,

For the Otago Agricultural Society’s Show to-day there was capital weather and a good attendance for the first day. Cattle, sheep, and implements were judged to-day. Mr Monlove, from Oamaru, scored the most points in shorthorns, the New Zealand and Agricultural Company being second. The latter company’s bull, Earl of Brunswick, was second. Ho was, however, adjudicated champion, and his stock also took a number of prizes. Of Ayrshires there was a magnificent show and great competition. Messrs A. and J. McParlane beat Mr Gemmell, of Oamaru, in the number of points bytwo, out of some ten or eleven exhibitors. Great interest was taken in the exhibition of merinos, which were all of the Australian type. The Hon. R. Campbell took first prizes both in rams and ewes, his imported ram Golden Tom taking first prize in that class, and one of| his own breeding the second prize. Messrs Murray, Roberts and Co. , who took honors in previous years, were a good second on this occasion. In Leicester’s the New Zealand and Agricultural Company had things pretty well their own way in Border and English classes. Mr Marcroft’s exhibits from Canterbury were passed over by the judges. In ploughs Messrs Reid and Grey beat Messrs P. and D. Duncan of Christchurch, and Mr Duncan took a well deserved first prize for a broadcast sower, and Messrs Haslon and Beattie were first in harrows.
