TOY DOG CLUB’S EXHIBITION Yesterday, the third day of the Winter Show, was a success from every point of view. The day broke line and continued fine throughout, while the evening was crisp ami chilly. In the afternoon the grounds were crowded with visitors, mostly women and children. The side-shows did brisk business, while the stands of the trade exhibits were surrounded by people. The main event of the day was the judging of dogs exhibited under the auspices of the AVanganui Toy Dog ( lub. The exhibits ranged from miniature pomeraaians to rare types of Pekinese This display was attractive and engaged considerable attention. All sections were keenly interested, the judging being watched with no small j degree of enthusiasm and interest on all sides. Some of the dogs shown were fo excellent types in their respective spheres. The fact that the judging was not completed till late in the evening gives some idea of the difficulty the judge.

The judge of the toy dogs (Mrs Raf* low Wills, of Wellington), remarked that the exhibition was a first-class one, and the exhtibitors met with a collection of the best to be seen in New Zealand. Among the Pomeranians were the premier specimens of the Dominion, and the local dogs showed up well by comparison with the best from Auckland and elsewhere, and although the chief prizes were carried off by till outside competitors, the general standard of excellence was very pleasing. Miss Alalempre won the coveted ladies’ bracelet for best dog of any variety in the show, and the Wellington lady may be congratulated upon the splendid condition of her dogs, which were in beautiful bloom.

Australian Terriers, both in number and quality, presented something ahead of the exhibition at the larger shows. Sydney Silky Terriers were also a very pleasing Jot, and wore put down in particularly good trim. Among the Pekingese may be seen the best specimens domiciled in New Zealand, and the dogs shown by Airs Neale were successful as the best brace of dogs at the show.
