SIXTEENTH ANNUAL SHOW.

Patron, the Mayor (Mr A. M. Myers): president, Mr A. A. White; committee. Messrs C. Cbilcott, W. B. HalL 3. % Gray, H. Hayr, jun., E. T. Howell, W. Harper, R. U. Shepherd, W\ L. Annan, G. M. Shaw, and H. Gahagan; secretary. Mr H. B. Massey.

The sixteenth annual show heJa under the auspices of the Auckland Kennel Club opened to-day in the Federal HalL. It proved a most successful show, the arrangements reflecting credit on the secretary and .committee. Judging commenced at 9 ajn., and from that hour there was a large attendance of lovers of the dog, including a much larger proportion of ladies than usual. The number of dogs shown was in excess of last year's totaL A feature of the present show is the prominence of pointers. A few years ago these sporting dogs -were almost neglected, but latterly they have again come into favour, and the show of pointers on the present occasion is stated to be the finest seen in the colony for years, both in numbers and in the quality of the dogs shown. The deerhounds, though small in number, were excellent specimens of that class. Aexhibit of special interest was a Borzois, or Russian Wolfhound, imported by Mrs. Harrison, of Ponsonby. This breed oi hound has become very popular latterly in the Old Country, and., judging by the handsome appearance of the one shown to-day, should grow equally in favour in this colony. The one .shown to-day is the first Borzois exhibited in Auckland. English setters are better represented this year, and smooth-coated and curly retrievers are far in excess of those shown in former years. Cocker spaniels are also good this year. Bulldogs are very well represented, being of excellent type, while the number shown is in excess of last year's exhibits. Collies are not so numerous as usual, but the general average of the dogs shown is rtndoubtedly better.

As usual, fox terriers are a big class, but there are no entries this year from Drmedm or Napier, so that there is not so much outside competition. . Amongst those shown, however, are some really fine specimens of the popular fox terriers. Irish terriers show a falling off in the number of dogs shown this year, but those sent in are good samples of this favourite breed. In broken haired terriers there are a couple of nice-look-ing Yorkshires, and two Australians. A few very fine specimens of Skye terriers are to be seen, but the number of bull terriers shown is smaller than usual. Amongst outside competitors are Mr J. F. Adams, of Wellington; Mr P. J. Smith, of Mahawatu; and Mr Jorgenson, -who exhibits Skye terriers.

The onerous dnties of judging were undertaken by Mr S. Johnston, of Palmerston North, late of Derby, England, who had all classes, with the exception of fox terriers. Mr G. R. Hutchison of this city judged the latter class. THE AWARDS. The following is the prize list: — j ST. BERNARDS. Mr G. Wenninger's Bruce, L GREYHOUNDS. Mr P. Gillespie's Mongonui, L DEERHOUNDS.
