,♦ — These annual trials wc-re held on the sth, 6th and 7th inst.. on the same ground as in previous years. Except on the first- day, the weather was very unfavourable, and the at tendance of spectators was therefore limited. Owing to considerable delay in placing the sheep for class 1, only- that class, and five dogs in the second, were run. Class 2 was finished on Friday, and classes 3 and 4 on Saturday. Splendid work was done in the two last classes. In class 2 the time allowed was rather short, and dogs who had difficult sheep had hardly time to bring them steadily to the hurdles and yard them. The following are the results: —■ Class I.—Heeding and Bringing Back, about 500 yards: F. Gray's Bruce 1, C. J. John stone's Cherry 2, C. Macrae's -"oil 3. J. Mc- Lennan's Wag scored fourth points.
