FANCIERS’ SHOW

CHILDREN'S DAY The judging at the second day of the Otago Fanciers’ show was devoted to cats and children’s pets. CHILDREN’S PETS. Judge: Mr W. Been, The exhibits in this section, taken as a whole, were a rather poor lot. Tire outstanding exhibit was a pile cockerel in the name of A. Stevenson. This bird was worthy of being shown in the open class. There was a fair number of entries, but they were not up to the standard of recent years. Another fine exhibit was a pair of bantams by Joan Barclay. The lien was a splendid bird, and outweighed the faults of the cock. Of the pigeons a fancy pair shown by Jean Anderson were the best.
