ANNUAL HOHtE PARADE. This fixture took place on tlie Show grounds on Saturday afternoon, several hundred people being present, and the greatest interest was taken by farmers and others to whom the breeding of stock is important. The entries numbered sixteen, composed of thiiteen draughts and three carriage stallions. No doubt owing to the late spring the hoises were not up to tlm condition generally seen, and thus did not show to advantage, but the quality is more easily judged when a horse is not carrying too much flesh. With it few i-x;*-p----tions, which were on the light side, the horses were a good selection, well calculated to improve the breed of stock in the district. , Following is a short description of the horses on parade - DRAUGHTS. 1.
