I ayrshires. I This section was a small one com-

pared to some of others, but there was a splendid showing of the type. The judge remarked that although the entries were small the quality was very good in all classes and quite up to the standard, in fact, the animals would hold their own in any show in the North Island. The champion bull and cow were exceptionally pleasing to'him, and taking the Palmerston North exhibition for comparison, Mr Carter held that Stratford wiis easily equal if not a shade better. Mr F. Mills (Tokaora), with “Bonnie; Lad,’’ was a “great bit, of goods,” said the judge. It was not usual for two-year-olds to gain championship honors, but on this occasiqn he could not do otherwise,as the youngster was full of quality. .j" Bull, calved prior to the Ist July, 1912.—W.
