The lambing season in Canterbury has been a most prolific one. Sir Geo. Clifford, however, has established a record which it will be hard to beat.: In one of his paddocks at Stoneyhurst he has a thousand ewes with 2000 lambs, all of which are in excellent condition.
A NEW IMPORTATION. Messrs. Cook Brothers, of Riwaka, have imported the well-bred Clydesdale -horse, Pride of Roseneath, which they have purchased from Mr R. Clark, Tinvvald, Canterbury, a well known breeder, who has carried off first and second prizes at most shows in the South Island. Pride of Roseneath is 3 years old, i6f hands high, of splendid cr>lor, well marked, and was landed in Nelson without ajscratch. He has been much admired by all who have seen him, and should be a great acquisition to the district. Messrs Cook intend placing the horse at the disposal of breeders in Riwaka this season.—Advt.
While in \nckland, Mr Hyde, poultry expert, received the gratifying news that a consignment of poultry which had been sent frozen from that province had nettled over 6s a pair in the London market.
