gates, the Mayor (Mr. T. C. A. Hislop) spoke briefly of the important part the organisation was playing in maintaining a high standard of breeding and in controlling the activities of the dog' world generally in the Dominion. There were many people, he said, who desired to own dogs, and who were not fitted for ownership, and in this respect alone the Kennel Club could do valuable work.
