COMPETITIONS. The competitions on Thursday provided a great many keen contests and appealed to the public, who attended in force. The jumping all round was ex'-ieilent, though a number of the competitors were rather green through lack of schooling. The maiden hunters' event was rather spoilt in consequence of the bad take off at the final jump, the slippery nature of the ground making the majority of the competitors blunder, and several spills resulted. The events fur lady riders were very keenly contested, there belittl9 to choose between a trio of highly capable riders, and the events were evenly divided among them.

The toast "Our Parliament and Mambsr," was proposed, by Mr Hardy, who in referring to the member for Taumarunui, said he thought Mr Wilson was the right man in the right place, and that he was revered by his friends and respected by his opponents.
