In connection with the Waterloo meeting, to be held hero, the Club's Committee has decided to put up stand accommodation for ladiee and provide an enclosure for the bookmaking fraternity. The 6take is limited to 64 dogs, -but shows every sign of filling, though hitherto 52 doge has been the main. It is intended to run. a couple more events like yesterday in August, with the object of enabling owners of dogs to a6certain the capabilities of their chargee. By holding a local meeting the Club is able to charge less than the standard fee and owners are able to see if their dogs are up to first-class form or not.

The handsome trophies competed foi yeeterday were presented by the Clr.l: and Messrs J. White, H. Webb and H. Overton.
