During tho next period of four clays, tho Auckland Poultry, Pigeon and Canary Club will' hold their annual show in tho same building, followed by a show of industrial rabbits, under the auspices of tho Auckland Fur Club. A portion of tho building has beon set aside for tho display of pedigree dairy cattle with high production records. Demonstrators of the respective breeds are arranging a definite series of lectures and demonstrations, especially for the benefit of those interested in tho dairying industry. Tho oxhibit of buttor and cheese will be a most imposing one, symbolical of the productivity of tho Dominion. The Department of Agriculture and the Forestry Department are making extern,ivo displays, which will form a most attractive and educative feature of the ■ Exhibition. There is no lack of exhibitors, desiring space to exhibit their goods to tho public. Tho availablo space is being rapidly taken up, and tho indications arc such that tho forthcoming Exhibition will eclipse all previous efforts. The Homo Industries Section has received tho attention of tho Executive.
