JERSEY CHAMPIONS LOCAL BREEDER’S TRIUMPH DEFEAT OF IMPORTED BULL The announcement of the championship awards in the Jersey •section upset many speculations among fanciers of the breed. When it was first announced that two recent high-priced importations were to meet in the Auckland ring, much speculation was current as to which animal would carry off the championship ribbon. A. Moreland and Son’s Fairy Eminent Raleigh appeared in the show ring at Hamilton, where he was adjudged champion, and attracted considerable attention for his many fine Jersey characteristics. A. E. Watkin’s Oxford Beau’s Combination, imported at a reported cost of somewhere around the same figure, 2,000gn5., was shown in New Zealand for the first time yesterday. Speculation up to the time of announcement of the judge’s decision centred round which of the two animals would be giVen the leading ribbon. To the surprise of the majority of Jersey fanciers, while Moreland and Son’s entry Secured the North Island championship, the reserve ribbon went to a local animal, W. J. Hall and Son’s Orangedale Enterprise, leaving A. E. AVatkin’s imported bull right out of the picture. Throughout the day the stalls containing the three animals were a centre of 'interest to Jersey breeders, wondering why* and sizing up the various points that make for quality and production.
