Inff - "£ quality of the birds exhibited is a great deal in advance of anything V™™™£ staged in Christcnurch, which »***" demonstrated by the exceptionally time taken by the judges over we adjudication of the awards. . A pleasing feature to fanciers « «ie return to favour of several of the ow breeds—Jacobins, Fantails, and Poutcrs—Thich , form the strongest class a* the Show. A novelty is the exhibition of Mr James Ashley's utility centlv imported from the United btates and England. The birds aro quite distinct from the fancy pigeons, and considering the fact that the squabs obtain tbp weight of eighteen-ounces ,m five weeks, th* success of tho new industry which the owner hopes to create should be-assured. ,-,,rf«-«4 Tho -homing section will be judged to-day. ..
