TRAINED PIGS.
Do pigs think? Arc you aware that, pigs can fire a gun with such precision as would become a seasoned marksman, tight in realistic fashion a Dempsev-'L'unney battle royal, and act. with high intelligence their clover and deliriously funny impersonations. Yes. incredible in writing but perfect truth in fact is the aptitude of Freckles, Pork Chops, and other famous pigs, so skilfully trained by Miss Marjorie Van Camps, without doubt t.bc world’s greatest, trainer of pigs. Miss Van Camps has been in New Zealand for only a month and during that time she has been training six little pigs to add to her team. Five of them are from three to four weeks old and the baby one is not yet two weeks old. Thousands, it is claimed, have been enthralled by this clever combination of pig performers in I’ig a-dilly Circus, featuring Freckles, “the pig with a. personality.” The exhibition will be in the amusement section at the Palmerston North Winter Show which opens to-morrow.
