HAWKE'S BAY SPRING SHOW

m • ■ — Schedule of Sheep Classes Sheep .being Hawke's Bay's main gourcB of wealth, it might naturally be expected that sheep, lambs, ete., "would oceupy a very prominent place in any show in the provinco, in fact in the Dominion, and the very comprehensivo schedule of classes for sheep, lambs, etc. shows that the society is fully alive to the necessity of encouraging sheepbxeeders to find some classes in which ■to exhibit their stock.

There are meat, wool and crossbred sectioas, crossbred section (meatt wool and breeding purposes) , fat sheep (farmers' classes), export classes, distriet fat lamB competition fieece wool section, etc. For each description of sheep a plentiful lot of fine trophies has been allotted, while- the very valuable Sir Douglas McLean Perpetual Memorial Cup will at this show be awarded to the exhibitor securing most points in the stud sheep section.
