There was a large .attendance of the general.-public from all. the .surrounding districts, A feature, of the meeting was the large number of entries for the . mounted events, which, proved to be of great interest. The cup presented by Mr D. Douglas .for the winner of 'the Hunters' Competition was won by Mr W. Strang with Wainui, Mr S. Mason's Caroline being runner-up.
