I have referred your inquiry for bTrds to Mr Reilly, at Messrs Pryor Bros., who will write -you. Sorry I cannot adviss you further. At last week's meeting of the Dunedin Fanciers' dub, held at Messrs Myers's rooms, Octagon, it was reported that definite arrangements had been made respecting the engagement of the Agricultural Hall annexes for the championship show next month, and a release upon satisfactory terms obtained from the Garrison Hall Commissioners. The secretary produced the schedule, and stated that he had already circulated a number of copies. Tickets for the annual art union wer© also distributed for sale. A committee was. appointed to arrange for a club supper j at the time of the show on a somewhat more j elaborate scale than in previous years, : members to be admitted by purchase of ] ticket only.
