Judging took place before Mr Stewart’s demonstration. The cards of the 19 entrants and tliat of Mr Stewart were then compared and it was found that Mr A. R. Watson, with two cards of 38 points each, and Air A. R. Hall, 38 points, had tied for first. The possible was 43 points. Judging took place on show and utility points. Mr Stewart explained his plaeings and delivered a short address on the proportions of birds for show purposes. The visitors were welcomed by Mr G.
