These Scotsmen were uncom- municative. I was a stranger and net te be trusted. Their dogs were small bodied and mean leoking, and slunk behind their masters with their tails drooped. They had none ef the magnificence of the collie dogs as shown in photo- graphs and at shows.

There have been some twenty te thirty cars buzzing around the countryside, and it's marvellous the stories told as te, what al these men are up to. They con- gregate at the cross roads and argue and then mark semething down on a paper, and off they go. There are signs up telling where te park their cars and where they can get lunch, but nary a word as te the purpose of it ail. All of the folks are curieus, some afraid, some interested, and some go on their way seemingly un- concerned. However, when coun- try folk like us are net told what it's aIl about, we exercise our right te guess, and after' a fcw guesses, things are told as facts. Here are seme of our gueases: The Government is geing te build an airport in this part and are going te buy a thousand acres. A large munition factory is to be erected here.t A penitcntiary is centcmplated. The militia is goinÈ te have a mock battie here. It's costing the taxpayers $10,-t 000 a day. I've been cxpecting to, hear that Father Divine is geing to buy up ail this land te make anether branch of heaven fer his angels. Anyway we are getting a lot of real excitement eut of the whelea aff air, and even if nothing cisc is0 being donc our minds are bcing t kept off the iow prices of farm stuif fer a while. Speaking of men there is a vast differeuce between bigness and greatness. He's a stingy man who won't even give you a pleasant look. The worse thing you can do for some men is te praise them. wDon't expect the worid te laugh ith you if yeu are laughing at the worid. THE M. A. JAIM MEMORIAL TROPHY j the prizes. Every dog had been a first-prize winner in local trials. This day these dogs met in an in- ternational trial. Dogs had 20 minutes to complete their trial. They were not pcrmitted to cither bite or bark. Sheep, strange to the f ield and dogs, were libcrated, in lots of six, at the far corner of an immense field. The shepherd stood near the judges, who were seated on a bench, under the shade of a tree, with scoring cards and watches before thcm on a table. The shep- herd's dog was at his heels. At a signal from the judges' stand, the shepherd bade his dog to bring in the sheep. Off went the dog at a gallop toward the sheep several hundred yards away. The dog got behind, the sheep and began driving them toward the shep- herd. On the way the sheep had to pass between hurdles - txvice or thrice - meaning through narrow openings between the sets of hurdles. Meanwhile the shepherd kept his position and directed his dog by wvhistles, waved arms or cries. 0f course the sheep would boIt - or one of them would boIt - and the dog had to drive these errant ones back to the others. The dog had te be very xvise. He did not hurry the sheep, nor alarm them in any way. His finesse xvas marveilous. JC K After the sheep had been pass- ed through the hurdle openings. they had to be "shedded" - or di- vided or separated. Three of eaeh lot of six sheep had red ribbons on their necks. The shepherd's and the dog's task was to separate these three ribboned sheep from the other three and drive them off. Then the sheep had to be penned. The penning was ac- complished by driving the six sheep into a square made by four hurdies, with one of the hurdies (about 10 feet long - like a wood- en gate) open. Ail these opera- tions had to be completed inside 20 minutes; otherwise dog and master were disqualified. The prize-winning dog concluded his task in 13 minutes! Up te a point the shepherd had to remain at his original position. When the sheep drew near to him, rie svas permitted to jein his dog and together thcy finished the jireetion of thie sheep. Each contestant was provided îvith a new lot of six sheep - ail strange te field, dog and shepherd. Each shepherd had his own set of signals. If these dogs were mean- looking away from their work, they were glorieus at work. One became ecstatie in watching them. I do hope that the film shortly to be shown in Canada will show dog, sheep and shepherd as I saw them at Carlisle. Yet this Carlisle exhibition differed from the tac- tics of shepherd and dog working on his, and it is hili work which is likely te be shown in the film. J cK At noontide, when there was a short suspension of the trials, I found myseif mildly famous. I had become known as "the man from London." The news had sprcad - the news of my double journey from London te Carlisle and back te London - a total bit of travelling of 1200 miles. Before I ieft I looked up some of the men whomn I had accomp- anied te the trial field from the hotel, to bid them good-bye. To mxy surprise and deight they were cordial. The morning suspicion of me and the taciturnity had passed away, and handshakes W'ere warm. In later years I went every ycar Icould te the Tring 1-day fair heid on the estate of Lord Roths- child - about 35 miles north of L~ondon.
