Woolley of Wairoa came within an ace of the prize.

Three pheasant in any one day is pretty good shooting as the pheasant is a wily bird. These three were bagged by Mr Ossie McNeil of Makara Station, Whatatutu, This is a somewhat rare feat as it took place on the very last day of the shooting season.

Talking of rare, this female whippet is believed to be the only one in the Poverty Bay area. She is Rosiel Amber Folly (imp. Aust.), but “Folly” to her owner, Mrs Carol Nickerson, Lytton Road. At the recent Horowhenua Kennel Association Show, “Folly” took Best of Breed (3 entries), Best Hound Junior (13 entries), and Best Junior in Show (all breeds). And there were 715 dogs in the show!
