His Excellency the Governor was elected patron. A number of special prizes were promised for next show. We congratulate the Auckland Kennel Club on their being in such a flourishing condition. Mr H. Zander, of Ashburton an old black and tan fancier, has purchased from a Christchurch resident a dog bred by Mr F. Biegs. He is nice’y made, show's good symmetry and fair markings. His tun is rather light, and lie could do with more coat, but for all that wo think bu can win in the over seven pounds class, unless Mr Power’s Zinnny lias gained weight and competes against him. • • • • At the Berlin University each “corps" of students has its own particular joint stock dog.
