SHEEP DOG TRIALS

NORTH ISLAND MEETINGS RESULT IN SHORT HEAD P.B. ENTRIES UNPLACED None of the Poverty Bay entries in the Short Head class at the North Is». land championship dog trial meeting was successful. in securing placings, though D. Cranwick's Dictator was among those scoring over 50 pbihtsin a total of. 60. A remarkable feature of the class was that first, third and fourth places went to dogs entered by the same owner, R. M. Wilson, of Kirwee. First pla.ee was filled by Mac, with 58 points, and the judge was forced to award quarters to separate the first four dogs in the class. The second dog was H. White's Gale, 57$ points, third place was taken by R. M. Wilson's Fly, with 57$ points, and the same owner's Miss Mae was placed fourth, with 57 points. Mr. Wilson is one of the most successful trials entrants in the South Island, and his achievement.in this class will possibly remain as a record for years.

Among the top flight of the unplaced dogs in the class were N. McKinnon's Spy and D. Glynan 's Frank, two Wairoa dogs with good district performances to their credit.
