DOG TRIALS

* MALVERN COLLIE CLUB The Malvern collie dog trials were held on Messrs Millikan Bros’ estate, Ayredale, Springfield, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday last week. The sheep were supplied by Mr F. G. Robinson, Glenmore Station, and were an excellent lot, trying the dogs’ ability, but working kindly. Mr C. Bassett, Burnt Hill, acted as judge, and gave every satisfaction. The weather was dull and cold. Large entries were received and competition was good. The war fund should be higher this year than in previous years, many people having been most ‘ generous.
