«That Mr John Mandell and Mr B. Cochrane be asked to act as judges of team horses and harness.’ Aletter was received from Messrs P. & D.

Resolved—“ That an open class for digging ploughs be added, no prize to be given, and that Messrs P. & D. Duncan and other makers be noted to that effect. Major Moore brought up the matter of enlarging the boundaries to include Temuka, as many in that district were desirous of taking part in the match.. After discussion it was decided that the time was too short to make any alteration this year, but next year they would make the match open to the neighboring districts. Resolved—“ That the committee meet again on Monday, August 20th, at 7 p.m., to arrange prizes.”
