The annual show of the Auckland Poultry Association was inaugurated this morning at the Market House. . The, committee whose names are' given above have .exerted them/selves manfully to ensure the affair being a success and we have much pleasure : in stating 1,: that their efforts were not in vain. As last year an exhibition of dogs both sporting arid" non-sporting supplemented !th6 Poultry Show to I which it superadded no inconsiderable attraction. ;sYesteritay the wqM of classifying and arranging the exhibits was started upon and continued tly's morning up to time' of' thb'; opening1 of the doors, to the public, , The show is, set out, in {the wcsie'rn transept of'the: Market', with1 the exception of dogs, for which a most convenient place is found' in the shed in the south-western angle of the building.; The ■ birds were mostly shewn in roomy substantial cages, with a plentiful litter of chaff at. the bi.itom,. which set them off to v«ry good advantage. The first six classes which were for game fowls, are arranged in the centre of the transept on a bench, and if the spectator starts en the right-hand side on entering and goes round, ne will find the classes follow one another very regularly. Class 1 for Black Reds contained 7 lots, and among them Mr Sam ,Morrin's birds were very conspicuous for the/beauty 'of Weir pljimage and symmetry of shape Both in this class and in classes 3 and 4,, Mr Gilford f -showed -^ell. In class 5 for game of any variety, Mr G. Gruickshank shewed a fine large cock with a handsome head. In class 8 Silver Grey Dorkins, Mr Sam' Morrin seemed to have frightened all competitors.^ Mr James Wallace in the coloured Dorkins^ and..Messrs Morrin and Ivev^nd'W: Ferguson .struck us as being specially well represented. Mr A. E. Isaacs;;exhibited some splendid Black Spanish Ebwls.VVFbr Cochins once such apopularclass^therewere ndentries. In the Brahmas, eight/competitors showed, and the birds belonging to, Mr-Ivey, Mr Morrin, and Mrs Edward Wood were all deserving of prized!,';. Mrs Woods'.showed some fine birds in phis class " for exhibition orily." Mr E. GralkjEin'.had a fine pair of light brahmas, but spoilea 'them by ,;having: them cooped vp r in too small a, cage. Messrs Morrin and lvey were again tp\the fore with their golden spangled Hamburgs;. while Mr Wifii Kissling and Mr Henry\Atkinson exhibited some shapely silver birds of the same spfcies. In class 26, for Howden's, Mrs E. Wood, shewed the < only three [lots. la Creve Cjceurs, Mr.; f-amuel Morr^nvwasr/Burpassed iiji our estimation by Mr.tyWv H.

The ducks, geese, and turkeys were badly represented,; no one seetnjjag to, care to contest the "point. In ''the.: pigeon, classes Messrs.

For pouters Mr Joseph Craig, with a rjair of beautiful black birdp, particularly ■ tbo^omrfancyyas-did Mr John Smith in the_ Jacobins. ? The feumferous exhibits' and theft/ good quality in this interesting class were ' very well worth notice. The canaries shown were with few .exceptions poor.. For several kinds there were no entries at all.
