EXHIBITION DOG TRIAL (Own Correspondent) The president, Mr. E. G. Billinghurst, presided over an attendance of some 30 members at a meeting of the Rangiwahia Horticultural and Industrial Society. Two of the features of the day’s programme at the Centennial Show on March 13 will be the sheep dog trial demonstration of five dogs working at the same time by Mr. R. Fortune, of Timaru, whose offer was very enthusiastically accepted. This event i will take place at one o'clock. The other feature of the proposed programme is the Centennial parade and cavalcade of agriculture. The secretary, Mr. E. L. B. Pemberton, outlined the parade with indications of the many interesting ancient and modern exhibits which will be available. The time scheduled for this feature is immediately following the dog trial demonstration. A handsome cup has been donated by Mr. W.
