Dr Newman moved an amendment, providing that farmers who are partners should be allowed to send m separate returns, and claim separate exemption. Mr Ward could not accept the amend ment, pointing out that, if it were carried, it would mean the loss, by one estate alone, of £15,000. After considerable discussion, the amendment was lost by 28 to 19, and the clause carried. The Bill was still under consideration when the House adjourned at 5.30.

Grey moved the amendment he had given notice of, to exempt improvements under the, Actby striking out the words " up to £3000. Mr Ward said that when the Govern ment decided to change the incidence ot taxation this matter was tully considered, and it was found impossible m the pre sent state of finances to go so far as was proposed by the amendment. He could assure the Committee that the finances o the improvements. The Government had already given way to the extent of £20,00u m exemptions, and they were now asked to give up £40,000 more by bit George Grey's amendment.

HORSE PARADE.

Committee of Management — Messrs M. Stitt, 3, Small, Denis McKendry, R. Miller, J. Shearer, C. Reid, and P. Williams. The Annual Stud Horse Parade to-day at the Show grounds was but sparselj attended, owing to the unfavorable weather. The horses entered, however, with one exception, took up their places on the ground, and though there were some notable absentees from the list it is J doubtful if a more useful lot has evei been seen m Ashburton. Compared I with last year the horses on parade | numbered as follows :—

DRAUGHT HOUSES.

The Draught sires are all well-known m the district—mosd of them beyond it- and it is needless to enter upon a review of their several merits. Our notice, therefore, will be of the briefest. Mr John Gilmour's Kelvin headed the parade, looking even brighter than last year. Mr 0. Ross' Fingall was the absentee. Mr John Sirall's Vanquisher also seemed to have renewed his youth ; and following him came the same owner's grand colt Lord Oranley, grown and chickened almost out of knowledge, and more than fulfilling his early promise. Mr F. M. Rickman's Protection id another young horse that has greatly improved, and while bigger, shows even more quality and activity than ever, Mr T. Langley's Athelstane is sounder than he has been since he came here, the policy of working him regularly having been continued. Mr N. Fitz gerald's Emperor shows continued im provement ; he also has the collar marks of regular farm work, and took the eye of many of the farmers present as a useful sort. Mr Dan. JVlcKendry's Diplomacy looks really handsome; and AWmoa, now m the hand of Mr S. Tierney, Methven, has also wintered well.

BLOOD HORSES.

Mr L. Markey's Johnny Faulkner was m the rough, but carried himself gaily and attracted much notice. His son, Smith O'Brien, was not m stud condition and appeared at a disadvantage accord ingly. Mr Grigg's Xerxes paraded m this class ; he is a shapely horse, but on the small side. Mr J. VV. Hardwick had Tekoa looking very well for his years Mr E. Gates' Perkin Warbeck 11. showed more quality than any of them, bufc his want of size told against hinu

ROADSTER AND CARRIAGE HORSES.

This section included some new im portations to the district. The most noticeable was Mr H. F. Winter's Aus tralian bred Young Viscount, a very handsome horse, albeit a little heavy m bhe neck for seme critics, a beautiful dapple brown color, and great substance— the very typo of horse for the improve ment of tiie breeding stock of this dis trict. Mr Grigg's standard bred General Iracey, for whom no praise is too high, came next; and then Mr J. R. Begsr's Boomerang, by Bundoora, a prize-taker up North, and a horse that could scarcely be improved upon for carriage purposes. In tact these three are a trio such as is seldom seen m one ring, and it is to be hoped that farmers will take due advantage of their presence m the district. Mr W. Hood's Wilkin is more adapted for buggy sorts, being of lighter frame, but full of quality, and holding the mile trotting record for stallion*. Mr E. Cookson's Phoenix is a shapely, compact horse, with nice paces that will commend him to breeders of hackneys. Mr E. Saunders' The Moor is as neat a horse as could be found—a real " big little one "— a good huner and hack, and has some good young ones as testimonials. The arrangements were excellent, and it is a pity that the rain m the morning prevented a larger attendance.

The Premiers Illness.

[PEK PRESS ASSOCIATION]

Wellington, October 1. The Premier is suffering from heart disease and atrophy of the stomach, the latter troubling him most.

Last evening while Mr Thomas Cavill, Wakanui, was m town m his buggy, his mare became restive at Friedlander's corner, Moore street, broke a shaft by kicking, and then bolting upset the buggy and threw Mr Garill out. 'JL'he mare kicked herself clear of the trap and bolted. She pursued her way round Mona Square and several of the streets m town, ultimately fetching the belt, at Wakanui Road, where she was secured by a resident, and brought into town, meeting her owner on the way, who had obtained a hack and gone out m search of her. The buggy and harness were damaged, but Mr Cavili, fortunately, was not injured, nor was the mare much the worse for her escapade.
