PERFORMING PIGS
THE TALK OF THE SHOW •* No grunts but clever stunts ” would be a suitable slogan for the Pig-a-dilly Circus,. which is located in the amusement section at the Waikato Winter Show, for in the tent ■where this attraction is housed, a troupe of performing pigs keeps their audience in astonishment and wonderment.
