TUAPEKA COLLIE CLUB

SUCCESSFUL TRIALS The annual trials of the Tuapeka Collie Dog Club were held on the property of Mr H. Winter at Lawrence yesterday and on Wednesday, and proved to be one of the most successful meetings for some years. Only once previously lias the number of entries exceeded this year's total, and the officials found it impossible to get the events off within the scheduled time. Besides an excellent number _of competitors from inside the local radius, there were owners present from Oamaru, Palmerslon, Lauder, Island Block, Heriot, Kelso, Otautau. Nightcaps, Winton, Mossburn, and . Balelutha. Yesterday the weather was bright and sunny, with no wind, but on Wednesday cold and boisterous conditions prevailed and intermittent rain showers swept the ground. In the heading events, the outstanding dog was Mr H. Cuttance's Kelp, which gained first prize in both maiden and local events, and third place in the open head. The maiden and open huntaway events were not completed yesterday and the meeting will be continued to-day, when a consolation event will also be competed for.
