THE TROTTING SECTIONBy. C. R. Pickworth.3' V* *-I am pleased to say great int3lcst has been taken in the T'rottingEvents, I think, mir.re this year thai usual, as requests were madle thatmore Trotting Events shold be run on Wednesday and Thursday insteadof so many on Monday and Tuesday, which request we can give considerationto when compiling our programme for 1922."Globe Derby " the Sydney horse, which was entered to attemptto lower our one mile track record of 2 min. 15 sees., established August14th, 1918, by "Maori-land" (for which we offered £200 prize money)dlid not appear, the risk of shipping the horse from Sydney being toogreat owing to the rough weather prevailing on the coast at the time.The non-appearance of this very fast horse caused considerable disaplpointmentto the publlic, which every ('ouncillor regretted. With aview of avoiding such disappointment again, I would make the followingrecommendation, namely, that we incrase the prize money for 1922, forthis event, to £300, and 1 do so ;at this early stage to give some enterprisingQueenslanlder an opportunity of purchasing a horse capable ofreducing the rccor !., ami whose services would be valuable to thisState.Our Track Record has been lowered by different Stud Book Stallions,from 2 minutes 26 seconds in 1910, to 2 minutes 15 seconds in 1918, or11 seconds in eight years. Hachl Stallion has done service in this State,some of thlm have remained here permanently. The Royal NationalAssociation has, therefore, done much to improve the type of Trottinghorse in Qucenslaind.The total Prize Money we arec now offering, in this Section, is £358.I would recommend that we increase this by £147, making our total fornext year £505. l'etails of the allotment I need not go into now, butwould ask the (Council's approval, so that the facts could he made known.to Trotting men.DAIRY CATTLE EXHIBITS.Hy Messrs. W. ,JIs. Affleck and W.M. (Chai"es.While tlhe exhibit of Dairy Cattle, at this year's Royal NationalShow, did iot break any record for numbers, it established a new standardof quality. The exhibits all through were excellent, and theenthusiasm displdyedl by breeders, in bringing out their cattle to thehost advantage, was a great pleasure to see.The D)airy C(attle Section of the Royal National Show is the mirrorof the dairying industry. The improvement which has been effectedin recent years, in the quality of the cattle shown, is merely a reflectionof the improvement which has taken place in tIhe stud herds. Therehas been a marked improvement in thimi respect throughout the wholeState. From the Atlh'rton Tableland ti the Tweed, the breeding ofbetter cattle has gone on apace. The Hlerd Book Societies have promoteda fine spirit amongst breeders, and the contests at the RoyalNational bring out this spirit in the best form.We are happy to see a gradual awakening to the value of HerdTesting. For many years our Society has held Home Milking Competitionsfor all breeds, and these have been a source of great interestto breeders. Now, however, the demand is for Long Distance Tests,;,,'1.\IX.- ^gi~~ig~i 'i-'i~ t i~th -- ^jf^-A
and our Association will have to consider the advisability of encouragingthe making of these long distance tests. In these days, when an enlightenedman sets out to buy a bull, he wants to know whalrt his darnhas given in nine months. It is right that hie should know, and rightthat he should demand this information before hie bus.We have to thank the gentlemean wio coutriotll si) muchh to thesmooth running of the I)airy Cattle Section, tis yea:r.
