Mathieson’s Toby cast to the right and went out freely, though he got slightly high on the head. He had a fair lift and pulled on a good line. His work at the yards was good, and he completed in good time. W. Ross’s Toby, which scored highest on this run, also cast to the right, running out freely and keeping a good line. He made a good head, lifted well and pulled on a good line. His work at the yards was very good and he completed well within the time. The first two placed dogs were the only ones to succeed in yarding the sheep. The judge, Mr J. Davidson, of Pleasant Point, said yesterday that the winning dog had put up two very good runs, and that the performance of the second dog, in the run off was exceptionally fine. The work of the dogs on the whole was very fair.

PICTURE AND “YODELLING COWBOY”

Charlie Ruggles, of “Charlie’s Aunt” fame will head the programme in “Turn Off the Moon,” a delightful comedy musical at the De Luxe Theatre, Fairlie, at 8 o’clock to-night. Music and laughter are equal ingredients mixed in liberal proportion in a story which uses astrology as a royal aid to romance and an additional headache to Charlie Ruggles’s frustrated sweetheart, Eleanor Whitney. Good supports will be screened. A special a'traction will be the appearance on the stage of Jack Carter, “the yodelling cowboy,” who, weather permitting, will give a stock whip display outside the theatre at 7.30 o’clock to-night. Mr Carter recently concluded a successful tour of Australia, and after appearing at the principal theatres in New Zealand, he is engaged to tour in America.
