AUCKLAND POULTRY SHOW.

The Poultry Show at the Agricultural Hall was attended by a^good number today. The Show will be open to-morrow. Judging was not completed until four o'clock yesterday. Mr Dacre's task was a very big one, for he had to judge the whole of the poultry in the Show besides canaries. This is too big a task for any one man, and in future years the Association should at least have two judges, even if one is a local man. Reid Bros., of Motutapu, carried off the honours for the best bird in the Show with a Rouen drake, but there was really little to choose between the winner and Mr H. Tattersall's exhibit, who had only been landed from Wellington on the previous evening. The following is the conclusion of the prize list:— Leghorns.—White, cock : 1, Tonar Bros.
