The Society was.favoured with Queen's weather yesterday for their Second Day's Show, the heat being' modified by a gentle westerly breeze which made it pleasant without bciiigstrong enough to raise the dust, The attendance was the largest on record, as there must have been between 6000 and 7000 people on the ground. Tho takings at the gates amounted to £lB5 ]3s Gd, of this only a small sum was taken on Thursday, and together with the Grandstand the respectable sum of £22113s 6d was received, this is somo £4O in excess of last year. During the leaping match Mr D, McLaren, eldest son of Mr Robert McLaren of the Lower Valley fell from his horse and was seen to be seriously ill, Dr Bey, who wos oh tho ground, was promptly in attendance, but the unfortunate man succumbed in a few moments, it is supposed from apoplexy, or heart disease. Deceased is said to have had one or more (its. This was the only accident and in fact the only thing to mar the (lay's enjoyment. Although the day was a drouthy one and the publican's booth did a rattling trade, there was an entire absence of drunkcimess,so tho duties of Constable Darby and his assistants were purely nominal. The chief exhibits dealt with yesterday were the dairy cows, fat cattle, draught and miscellaneous horses, poultry, doijs, pigs and produce-etc. in DAIRY COWS the gold medal was won by Mr. T. Hart's" Lady." lu fat cattle Mr J. P. Russell was the principal prizctaker, Mr W. C. Buchanan, carrying off the silver medal for tho best fat bullock,

The Society's usual guteing competition was held and was largely patronised, but the result will not bo available for a few clays, There was a splendid entry of

DItAUCIIT HOItSKS all really fine animals, from tlio stallions downwards. Mr (x.W.Doller's "Director 1 ' was thefavourateand winner of the gold medal for stallions in this class, for aged horses. Mr Muxwell again succeeded in annexing first honors for his three-year old "Renfrew Jock" a horse that gives great promise for his success as a Clydesdale siro. Tlio championship for draught marcs was awarded to Mr W, C. Buchanan's "Jess,"

The teams entered by W. C, Buchanan, were really fine animals and carried off the. honors. There was a very largo entry in the

JIISCIiUAXKOSS CLASS, weight carrying hacks, ladies hacks, ponies and harness horses, and the judging of Ihose, together with the jumping and Hunters' Competition, formed the principal attraction during the afternoon, In heavy backs Messrs Gray Bros "Dundee" was awarded first prize, like honors falling to the lot of Mr D. McMaster's "Tupara" in the medium and Mr It. Howe's "Starlight" in the light sections, Mr J. Mowlcm's "Neptune" secured first prize in the cob section. In the ladies' hacks Mr W. H. Williams "Meddler" took first prize and the same owner also annexed the first prizo with his horse "Picton" in horses shown in clog cart or trap. Miss Booth's " Fanny " was awarded first in the girl's pony section, Mr C. J. Tully's carriage horses, "Shah" and "Czar''had no opposition, and were placed first. In pair buggy horses Mr Malmpuku's was awarded first aud second prizes, also taking first for buggy ponies. Mr A. Coy's " Punch " was again accorded prido of place in tlio farmers' trap borso section. The leaping match was closely contested byC. I Jury's" Louis Cliomis," R, Roake's "M.8.," and J. W. Pony's" Sunbeam," and after several trials they were placed in the order named. In the Hunter's Competition, 11, H, Welch's" Two Up" was placed first, R, Roake's "M.11." second. Mr J. W. Perry's " Sunbeam " was at first placed second in this event, but a protest was upheld, tlio entry being irregular, There was a good entry of

forward, Mr G. W. Dellcr king awarded silver medal for the best boar, and a like honor by Mr Elkins for fcho best sow. Competition in tbo

class was excellent, especially in roughhaired sheep dogs, but the judge bad no difficulty in pronouncing for Mr G. MacCandlish's stud dug "Ayrshire Laddie" who was also placed first at Mastcrton. There were 165 entries in I I'OUr,TI!Y AND PIGEONS, and they were as lino a lot as could bo got togethei outside a Metropolitan Show, Every class in poultry was represented by really fine wellbred birds, and this department was an attractive part of the show. The most points prize was 'awarded to Mr P. C. Anderson with sixty-six points. The collection of

. . ' . 'VKUtCMiS shown was both varied anil good, the Masterton 'Blacksmith and Wheelwright Company's exhibit being particularly' well finished, so much that the Judge awarded a special first-class certificate for their collection, the gold medal being won by Mr Jb\ H. Wood's collection in point of numbers, Always an interesting exhibit at tlio Carterton Show' is the

I'ROUUCK SECTIOX, audit was well supported by the local competitors, especially in dairy p ra . duce. The entry in butter was large and mostly of fine quality. Homemade bread had nine entries and included some fine samples. Mr T.: Collier showed a sample of wool scoured by his. patent cold water | process. This exhibit was a-splen-did example of what can be done in! cleaning wool for 'nianufiiclnrine use. .-.•■■■..■•' b : v _ OTKIilt KXUIUITS In addition to .'the classes already dealt with yesterday, we noticed a fino,. collection of saddlory exhibited by Messrs: J.
