HORSE PARADE A T OHAUPO.

Tm: annual paiade of s>tud horses was hold in Mi Bucklind s paddock at Oh.uipo on Tuesday. Tlio entn.ij ueie exceedingly prior, only eight lioi-ps showing on the giound. Tlio (1 1 y wis \\«'t and unpleis.mt l)iit the attendance wi > jru id, ,i \it numhei having been altiacted by the pir.ule, as it was !i good r>]ipi>i tuuity to coinpnic 1 the \aiioiis anim ds and iccoidmcc to f.mcy 01 opinion. Of the dianght hoiscs the two iiin-fc .ippm-.ed of wen 1 Louden Tom and Bonnie Punti , the Litter being the irore compact of the thn two, but with some his colour w is an ol)jection, tliiHigh he is a well made, compact horse and a model of stronsrth He hrn not as pood action as th<; otliei who is as active as a kitten, aiul like Bonnie Prince has a good tempo . Ai ,i hriisp for the bhow Biound Bnnniu Ptincc \\o\ild take fit -it prize from any of the othei-., but Lowden Tain's lepntition as ;i producer of first class .stock weighed pie.itly in his favour with ownnr-! of in up.. There is little doubt but both will have good seasons. Two of thn other-, namely Young Wellington anrl YY r oniiß Prince Charlie are also well and fnwun.ibly known in the district, and had their adinircn. Young Blytho h a new airn.il. This horse was ofFoied for sale imniodi itely aftei the pai.ide, bnt was withdiawn at £17 10-. ; no higher bidder could l>o got for him. Tf the owner wants to si-11 him, he should not show him in such company as the others. Of thoioucrhbieds, there were only thiee. IViliaps they are entitled to fir^t notice. Of the thiee, Antcros, fiomhis reputation ns tiic sjre of The Poet ami ntliei good hois 1 -, was most favoured. Ho be us the lepntition of ire^ting powi-ifnl, bi^ boned stock w ith good sta>iiipf jiowers. Ke\e as usual looked grand, and thnugh he has not the reputation of a sue of i >cp hoises, theic is no doubt but with good maies he would get Useful hacks, which in this distuct are in ne to be desned than racMS. Kenilwoith, a good looking light chestnut, with a pedigree as long as the Lai id «>' Cockpen's, was theie also, but though his pedigree is nne\ception ible, and his appearance good, he was not taken \s much notice of as theotheis. Th it, how ever, may be because he is not as well known in the distiict. In point of nuinbeis, the paiade was pcihaps the leist successful ccr held here ; from the number ad\eiti«ed for the ensuing Benson a good muster w.ia expected. If owner* whli their horses to bo patronised they should show them. The following are the names of the horses : — Thoroughbicds : Anteros, Fovc, Kenilworth. Clvdes. d iles ; B innie Piince, Lowden Tarn, Young Wellington, Young Pi nice Charlie, and Young B^the - (Own Coi respondent.)
