The number of last year's entries has been exceeded this year in the main sections; 272 entries have been received in the cattle classes, 321 dogs, 404 horses, home industries total 418.

The sheep, pigs, poultry and dairy produce sections have filled well, the sheep section being the only section which cannot bo termed really strong.
