HORSE PARADE.

♦ — Committee of Management— Mesars M Stitt, J. Small, Denis MoKendry, B Miller, J. Shearer, C. Reid, J. Gilmour. (Dhe annual horse parade under th auspioes of the A. and P. Association wa held on Mom Square to-day, m beautifu weather, and before a large number c farmers and others. All the horses on the card attended, an< apologies, ao to apeak, were tendered for th absence of Mr John Gilmour's evergreei Kelvin, the hero of a hundred rings, am Mr Straohan's Silcbester, who wan absen probably m consequence of the distance h< would have had to travel. DRAUGHTS. ' Kelvin Grove, a four-year-old by Lore Cranley out of a Kelvin mare, bred by Mi Crossan, Asbton, but now the property o and shown by Mr John Bmall, is a horse oi great substance and a good mover, and gives promise of bein a big one when he has fur nished out after a year or two. He wat shown m good healthy condition, not over loaded with flesh, and bearing eveiy evi dence of having wintered well. He is a dark bay, and contrasts nicely with ..Sir Colin, bred and shown by the same owner. This colbis a three-yearrold of great substance, finely boned, p'enty of hair, m fine condition, that shows off bis shapely pro- Heis alight roan by Lord Cranley out of Diamond, another Kelvin mare— a good active colt. > Craigellachie, a three-year-old by Craigie rar put of Flora McDonald, the champion mare of the Island. This colt's sire is not much known here, but he has a great name down south, The colt is of even make, a . good mover, m excellent healthy condition, as he must be while owned by Mr John Shearer, who is well known to feed well everything on hiß place— man or beast. The colt takes after his mother m color, and we hope he will do as well m the show ring as his dam has done. Earl o' Gowrie, three years, by Van quisher, dam Lass o' Gowrie, bred and shown by Mr MoLachlan, of Water ton, took second prize m Aehburton last year as a two year-old and followed this . success up at Cbriatchurch by taking first m his claBS. He is by the well known sire which has left a lot of good useful draught stock m this county. Cavalier, a bay horse by Crown Prince, a southern horse of reputation, dam Polly, also a southern heroine, is a credit to his breeder, owner, pedigree, and the oats he eats. He is six years old, a finely propor tioned horse both top and bottom, and a splendid mover; and is owned by Mr J. W. Rodgers, Dromore, and has already made a good name m this district. Middlerigg Prince, four years old, by Middlerigg, dam Magnolia, is a brown horse of perfect colour, well grown, full of quality, finely \ lined, and a grand mover— in fact a credit to the Boag name that bred him, and to the discriminating powers of Mr Peter Stewart who bought him for the district. It is to be hoped he will live long and leave many like himself behind him. He is well fitted for crossing with Kelvin mares, and ought the Wakanui veteran. Roseneath Herb, a three-year-old by Crown Prince, and thus of the same paternity as Cavalier, out of a Lincolnshire Hero mare, ia a beautiful bay standing on fine legs, well grown, and a decent mover. Mr Clarke has wisely elected not to overload him with beef, and so give him a chance to fulfil his present promise" of furnishing into a beauty m three years' time. He stands quite seventeen handß, and looks well. Prince is a fiae .active' bay, showing quality and breeding, and with mares judiciously selected should make a useful sire. He ib owned by Mr William Finlay. Ben Lomen, three years, by Lord Salis bury, a southern cbanipiong£dam Molly, a Banker mare, is a rich tftf. We fancy there must be some error m the spelling of this horse's name. If he is called after a breeder or any person m particular the name may be correct, but if after the mountain Ben Lomond, then the error is palpable. He was first prize taker m the two.year-old class at Ashburton Ust year, but he was placed second at Christcfinroh to Earl o\ Gowrie who had been second to him here. He will take a i lot of beating this. year, and has furnished into a nice colt. King's Pride, by the King of the Vanquishers, dam Flower, is owned by Mr B. P. Tierney, and wW bred by Mr R. Clarke. He is well grown, finely balanced, large, plenty of bone and hair, gres( m substance, and should be valuable m the district for which he is intended this je&r. Mr Tierney to be congratulated on his selection of ..is horse. He ia only five years old, and not seen many of bis stock, bub his Hings are beauties. ..-.., -mperor, Mr Nioholas Fitzgerald's well . wn and esteemed t)brse, was shown m j; healthy condition, and nas been m work |! n fog the winter. Emperor has left some Jjdfid' stock, the owners, of which desire A services again— the best recommendation bora* £*n have. , * ' f HOBOPGHBREDS.

'Melbourne,- September 19 A disputed will case which was before the court had a somewhat sen sational ending. The wil was alleged to be a forgery, and counsel for the caveat sprung a surprise on the pro pounders of the will. A witness named,, Cameron was glibly denying the statement that he approached various persons with a view to forge the will when counsel produced the actual person who drew up the document. Cameron then confessed the will was a forgery, and he was committed for trial on a charge of perjury, and with another witness was further committed on a charge of conspiracy to utter a forged will.

MOUNT SOMERS.

From Our Own Correspondent SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY. The celebration of the anniversary of the Mount Somers Sabbath Sohool commenced on Sunday last. The room, was prettily decorated, and an eloquent sermon suiktfcfo to-fche occasion tf»a preacheiToy tine Rev J. R. Clark, to a large congregation. On Tues day evening the usual concert aud social was held. The night was beautifully fine, and a large attendance resulted. The superin tendent, Mr A. A. Campbell, read the annual report, which was m every way satisfactory. The strength of the teaching staff had been maintained, and the receipts for the year had met the expenditure. A long programme of musical selections and recitations was then successfully rendered by Mrs Purchas, Misses Whitelawi B. Hood, E, Brown, Blanche Vincent, H. Beckley, and the Rev H. Purchas, Messrs A. Penny, | A. Dray ton, James Price and Joseph Brown ; while interesting addresses were delivered by the Revs B. J. Weatbrooke and Barton (Presbyterian) and J. R. Clark (Wesleyan). During the evening refreshments, provided by the ladios, were handed round and thoroughly enjoyed, A word of praise is due co Mrs Watson and Miss M. Hight, who denied themselves the pleasure of the enter tainment that the repast might be ready at the appointed time. A very pleasant even ing was brought to a close by the singing of j " God be with you till we meet again," after which the Rev H. Purohas pronounced | tho benediction, i . THE SEASON. - The winter whioh has just gone was pro bably the finest that has been experienced m this district for yearß, being m marked contrast to its predecessor. During the whole season there was a remarkable immunity from enow, the heaviest fall being only about three inches, and which disappeared |m a day. Farmers are now busy putting m their crops, the fortnight's bad weather at the beginning of the month having delayed operations somewhat. The warm and genial sunshine has started the grass, buc after the nor' westers that have been blowing during the past few days, a ahower would be ac ceptable. . THE RECENT ACCIDENT. I am pleased to learn that Mr H. Vincent, who unfortunately had his leg broken by a tree rolling ou him while working m the bush a month ago, and who has been m the hospital since, is making satisfactory pro gress towards recovery, and should all gq well is expected home m a few days, GOOD TEMPLARS. The new lodge of the Independent Qrder of Good Templars, which has been named ••The Pride of the HUls," has made a good start, and at present numbers qver fifty names on the roll. The maetings are held weekly jn the public hall, Staveley, and are we}l attended, Jn the course of a week or so Mr Wslker, Grand Lodge lecturer, will be paying an official visit, when no doubt he will receive a cordial welcome. INDUSTRIES. This year work has been plentiful m the district, and the cry of the unemployed has not been heard. Operations at the coal mines and lime kilns have been fairly brisk, bit there has not been mnch business done m the stone trade. The hew coal mice is proving a success, and the product, which is much superior to that obtained from the old pits, is winning its way m the m.arkefe.
