WAIWAKAIHO BULL FAIR.

A LARGE ENTRY. In this issue we publish alterations to Mr. Newton -King's Waiwakaiho Bull Fair, wherein it will be noticed that the catalogue for this fair has closed and that no further entries will be taken. In addition there are some special entries, the particulars of which arc advertised. Lovers of the Jersey breed this year are offered a big selection to choose from, and there are a fine lot o" /pedigree Jerseys to be sold.' The principal entry in this class is on account of Mr. Harper Lepper, who will be yarding a dozen two-year-olds. This breeder's stock is very well known to Taranaki farmers, and this season's draft should meet with good inquiry, In yearling Jersey bulls there is an entry of 23 youngsters, and in this lot fanciers should easily be ablo to obtain their season's wants.

The Holstein entry this year is an exceptionally strong and good one, there being some well-bred animals for sale. Mrs. S. A. Morrow, the Rahotu breoder, is sending forward eleven pedigree bulls and the breeding of these is exceptionally good. The sires are "King Fayne feegis 2nd" (imp.), "Echo ,Sir Inka," 'Hector Payne Segis" and "Dauntless King Nazli." Mr. Harold Street's manager is sending forward three two-year-olds and 'five yearlings, all by that old champion bull "Clifl'side Laddie." This sire is now defunct, and this lot of young bulls will be the last to be offered. Mr. W, D. Linn, of Oakura, is sending along a six-year-old bull, "Parthena Alcartra Pietje," two five-vear-old bulls, -Nazli Alcartra Pietje" and "Alcartra Woodcrest Pietje," also a vearling bull by "Parthena Alcartra Pietje" out ;of "Lady Inka Parthena."
