Glen Avon Smuggler

This can go in the "random things that the internet throws up when you google 'Cambridge Street'" file.  The above is an endorsement given by William Austin of Cambridge Street in the Southland Times of New Zealand from 1900.  If it is too small to read the gist of it is that he used "Bonnington's Carrageen Irish Moss" on his prize dog and it made the dog better.  A little bit more googling on Glen Avon Smuggler turned up some more information.  This scotch collie won the puppy category of the NSW Poultry, Pigeon, Canary and Dog Society's 22nd annual show in April 1899  and then came out at the 23rd show in June 1900 and won in the open category.  What a champion!  Unfortunately there are no photographs extant (that I have been able to track down).

For the record, Glen Avon Smuggler (and William Austin & family) lived at 3 Cambridge Street per the Sands Directories.  And you can still buy Bonnington's Irish Moss, maybe I should try it ...
