The dog section at the F.C/T Show grows yearly with ten dog classes and three sheep dog trials. The event features the Alcorn Cup contest and attracts spectators from dog fanciers to curious onlookers. Pomeranian classes are especially popular, drawing parallels with the Royal Sydney Dog Show, as visitors tour Hall on Show.
The note describes bus routes from Kingston to several Canberra landmarks and hotels with specific departure times on Friday and Saturday. It discusses the Federal Capital Territory’s pastoral industry changes, subdivision of large holdings, rabbit eradication efforts, and impacts on wool and stock values, noting improvements in sheep quality and wool weight alongside stock management challenges.
The article details the formation of Australis first Agricultural Bureau by the Ginninderra Farmers Union, with pruning demos and experimental plots on Gi Estate. It recounts speeches, lectures, and the long effort to establish a hall at Guogahleen, funding from annual sports, and the union's nine shows and government exhibits before closing in 1917 with funds distributed to local hospitals and churches.
The sheep dog trials, now popular, include a 30 guinea cup donated by Dr Alcorn for the open class. South Bros. of Goulburn have won the cup four times in succession. This year the trials will be held on Friday September 29, the show’s first day, instead of the second day.
