In making mention OF this large collie

l. some very worthy pieces. 1t was almo
70 impossible, in three brief hours, to exam
IL inc and note the merits of each piec

= eager sightseers. We have only attempt,
ls to mention the leading pieces. Mi
's Mickieboro, the teacher, is to be congra
l. ulsted on the excellent display made
s- her pupils.
