NEWTON PIGEON AND CANARY CLUB.

THE ANNUAL SHOW

The annual show of the Newton Pigeon and Canary Club was opened yesterday in the Foresters' Hall, Newton, and promises to be the most successful held under the auspices of the club. The number of entries is about 600, which is probably the record for the colony. The exhibits are of very good quality throughout the classes, while in some cases they are superior to anything that has l>een shown in the past. Among the pigeons the owls, magpies, and clean-legged rollers .ire* particularly noticeable, and the bird winning in the English carrier class, which is owned by Mr. J. Walker, the well-known breeder, is the best bird that has over been shown in the class. Short faces and kites are also represented by some Sue birds. As usual, Mr. J. Walker scores heavily in the pigeon classes. The collection of show and working homers is the finest that has ever been brought together in Auckland, and the even quality necessitated some very close judging. With regard to canaries, the position birds are the best that have ever been shown in Auckland, and the Norwich and cinnamons are very good. The judges were: —Mr. W. H. 0. Johnston, fancy pigeons: Mr. Ponsford, working homers; Mr. .1. Moon, Norwich canaries; Mr. Hunter, position birds (canaries). All the officials have worked very hard to ensure the success of the show, particularly Mr. F. Niddrio (the president), Mr. 11. Wanioek (the secretary), and the committee—Messrs. T. Davis, 1). Evans, F. Evans, S. Havcrfiold, (1. Davis, G. Oniric Grindrod, J. Edwards, and D. i'ugh. The- silver cup for the best bird in the show among the pigeons was carried off by Mr R. \Varnock, with a fine black magpie", bred by ju\ J. Walker, just beating Mr. Walker's splendid English carrier. In the canary classes Mr. Niddrie annexed the silver cup lor the host position bird, and ul-o the cup for scoring the most points: while Mr. T. Sliewring won the cup for the best Norwich bird. The cup for the best position bird oeeomes the property of Mr. Niddrie, who has now won it twice in succession. .Special prizes wore kindly given by Messrs. C. Cliilcott, J. ,i. Craig, McColl. E.
