Special Displays At Show

The rain may have ruined many aspects of the South Island show at Richmond but it failed to detract from the special displays organised by the association. These included the motorcycle trick riders, the Synchrobatic Display Team, the police dog display and a demonstration of a tractor safety device. The motor-cycling team put on a wonderful show, especially on the second day when the surface of the ring was treacherous.

The grand parade was abandoned, but the draught horse team and horses of R. and F. O'Connor did a circuit of the ring to show off the animals to Sir Bernard and Lady Fergusson.
