Tarras Dog Trial

The Tarras trial was Held on ,\l»'i--1 day, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Mjy igtn, 20th, aud 21.st. The weather cn the first two days wua-fpie, but somewhat scpually on the third day. '.'bis had the effect of making the work in Class IV below the usual standi id. ()n tin- other hand, good work w«.s done in Class 111. lV ]r S. Mu-io kindly gave the use of the grounds lor the trial, and also the use of the dwelling on the property for the refreshment room. The course is rather difficult, but lends itself to the "Jog's accustomed to mustering on h ; ;/n country, the dogs in the hong Haul ! having to run the greater part of the j journey "on the blind." Mr Peter Boyd, l.ovells Flat, gave every watisfaetion an judge. Sheep for *he Huntaway were supplied by Atkins Bros., and were a very suitable ' .t, this fact being proved by the -limber of dogs completing the course. Kor the other events a very suitable line of sheep wa> placed at the of the club by Messrs Jenkins.. Owing to the bad season the tanning community has passed through, entries wen- down, and the club experienced its hist financial set-back for many years, but still has a very substantial credit to cany forward. T 1 e loraJ ladies attended to the cateri.ig, and this was all that could be desir- I. Baskets were liberally contributed ami the gross takings, at the more- t charge of is. totalled £l3 ss. The officials all worked hard for the seccess of the triah a special word beiig due to the energetic and efficient secretary, Mr S, D. Jenkins. Results.— CI.ASS I. Heading.
