DUNEDIN FANCIERS' CLUB

OPENING OF THE SHOW-

ENTRIES AND ATTENDANCE LARGE

The Dunedin Fanciers' Club is to bo coajzratulat-cd on feho auspicious opening to iis 29th annual show, vsbkh took place on the Ist, and was sufficiently striking to mar'; an epoch in the history of the widelyknown body. The idea of holding the show concurrently with that of the- Ota.go Agricultural and Pastoral Society proved, as was anticipated, a happy one. The premises were crowded fro'Ti 2.30 p.m.. when they were opened, till 10 (p.m., when they closed. The buildings were lent by Messrs Thomson and Co. There is considerable Poor space arid fair light. The rings for judging were of necessity in the or»n air. There were two of them, which greatly expedited judging, of which there was a great deal. The judges did their work with thoroughness and celerity, and their decisions w>v* regarded with general, if act always individual apnrovaJ. Mr H. Gr. Hunt (Leghorn*}, Mr P. C. Sinclair (WyansJcttes), Mr E. O'Reilly (Orpingtons, Larigshans. Plymouth Rocks, Minorcas, game, ducks, etc.) are already well known to the public, and the expedition with which they nr.t through the (poultry section was greatly conducive to the smooth running of the day's programme. In this they were ably by the Schedule and Benching Committees. The fancy pigeons were judged by Mr J. Smith, and the homers by Mr A. F. Clark. The canaries are abnormally difficult b:rd« to judge, and some strenuous work wa« done by Mr T. Scott, who made a highly efficient judge. Change nt venue end other conditions make the vvork of comparing this show with last year's somewhat difficult. The quality of the poultry is probably better. As to entries, the club have received 1006. being 120 in.excess of those received' , at last year's chow. All parts of the South Island and many places in the North Inland are well rep^er-prsted—for instance, such centres as Auckland, Napier. Wellington. Wan.ga.mii. and Palmersion North. The entries in the dog section are (practically the same n.s last year; there are fewer pigeons, but many more of poultry and canaries. It will r>o doubt he remembered that this >year the South Island championships are being competed for in this connection, which may in a measure account for the splendid canaries which are being shown. In the dog section bull dogsi form the stronger class: All varieties are more than promising, and Mr W. Stanton, who judged the bull dogs, spoke of the marked improvement in this class. St. Bernards are a fine type, and the shooting dogs are very ..much above the average. This Section was a remarkably heavy one to handle, and Messrs F. .Rogers. W. Stanton, and W. Hon denser are to be felicitated on their skill and decisions. The children's pete and cats will rot,he judged till Friday. This class is remarkably full. Messrs J. Hayne and J. Ee-B&S'wiH "have a fine collection of Persian eats en exhibition. Yesterday good work was done by Mr P. W. Wates, who looked-' carefully after the exhibits—rath or refractory customs, by the wav. Mr E. 9,] Wikon's tact, patience, and experience again proved him a highly valuable secretary,.. All concerned have worked hard to make the Fanciers' Club annual show attractive to the public, and the success/which .has attended their efforts is well deserved. POULTPvY. In all the various sections of poultry there were very numerous entries,, and in most instances the oompetition was very keen. _ White Leghorns constituted a fair class, in which ,the winning hen showed good body, but an inclination- to run to leg. TiiGreAwais a big- entry of cockerels, and the winner was a good-coated bird, with good t colour and showing good type, ■although inclined to be rather "on the leg." _ The second prize cockerel lost to thp winner inr lobes and comb, whilst the third prize bird, although "typey," was somewhat narrow. The first and second prize pullets showed good lobes and body, but were rather leggy. The third prize bird was also a good sample of the breed, but was shown in rather backward condition. A month hence its chances should fos much brighter. Black Leghorns mad© a good section, the pullets being rather easily in the first place as regards merit. Brown Leghorn cockerels constituted a gocd class, the winning bird showing pood type and marking, but being a little faulty in the breast —as a matter of fact, it was the evidence of type and marking that swayed the judge in its favour. The only difference between the first and second prize birds was the deficiency in lobe shown hv the latter. The third prize bird was somewhat young, but was of the right colour and showed the proper type. There was a fine even show of pullets. Speaking generally, it mav be said that the brown Leghorns' were trw best of their class that have been shown here for seme Tears. ff ftTiite< leghorns were a good even class, out. in orevious years better have bson ex-

r hibited. The rose-comtb whites, nowever, | although only a small class, gave decided ! evidence of improvement on past shows. Wyandotfces throughout were strongly represented, and there was some very keen competition-. In the opinion of Air Sinclair, the judge, silver Wyandotte© make i the best show the breed has dene here for ! some years. The first prize :oek gains its place in type, colour, breast, and »iaciriig; and the winning lien, also shows all the characteristics of the coming out in front of a very strong entry. There was a big and strong entry of pallets, and the chief prizetaker took precedence because of the superiority of its lacing. There was a large entry of golds, but the quality, taken all round, was not up to the t>ta,ndard. The cockerels were too dark, whilst. th# puliets' shewed a deficiency in lacing. White Wyandotbes were not so numerous as might have been expected, but tome splendid birds were placed before the judge, and in each class ,tbe winners were really .good specimens. Taking the Wyandottes as a whole, there is a distinct improvement shown on p;!,st exhibitions in Dunedin, and this year's show is well up to the New Zealand standard. There was a remarkably good show in all the gam.a section's, with black-red taking pride of place. The special prize for best game bird in the show went to a black-red pullet, shown in the pink of condition, with good Legs and shoulder. The piles were rather small, haying hardly reach enough, the best of the class beinjr a very young bird, which was hardly forward enough to show. Sebright's steed out among a fine lot of barrtams. and this class of game birds, as evidenced by the present display, only requires to be taken, up by a few enthusiastic fanciers to become popular. There was nothing special to mention about the Hamburgs, but fchsre were some exceptionally fine birds amongst the Plymouth Rocks shown, the claiss as a whole being better than has been in Dunedin for fome years—in fact, it is questionable if a finer show of the class" has ever been made here. Tbie pullet which scored first prize had a beautiful colour, and was finely marked with a fine body and typical symmetry. The first prize cockerel also showed. good, points throughout, and reflects credit o?i its breeder. Langshans mad? a good class, and in the opinion of the judge it would foe difficult to find a better lot of cocks and bans in a.:iy show in Australasia. fioudans, although not numerous, .were quite up to show standard, and Andalusians compared move than favourably with previous shows in Dunedin. Minorcas again wore not numerously represented, but there oar be no cavil at the quality. The best of the "Ws wero the cockerels, which wctfe of nice size and of good_ type and colour. There was a gcod showing of rose-coloured ' Minoroas, but breedere of this class wiii have- to improve considerably upon the present standard hefore fanciers will pay much attention to the breed. The birds on view show a tendency to the black Hamburg type, and this must be avoided if exhibitors desire to make a success of the breed. Black Orpingtons were not' numerous, but the judge thought so highly of them tha-t h» considered the black cockerel fully entitled to the snecial prize for the best bird of the br.-ed'itr the show.-' This bird shows beautiful type and colour, and might well he taken"" as a standard by breeders. Pullets, hens, and cockerels were also strong in their respective classes. There was a smaller show than. usual of buff Orpin/rtons, but, the quality was well up to the standwssL. A special feature' of. this department of the show, in the judge's oninion. was the duck classes. The collection of ducks was the best the judge, Mr Oswald Reilly, has seem for many year®. The Indian Runners, constituting a large class, have never been equalled in New Zealand, and it is doubtful if better exhibits in Aylesburys, Rouens, and Pekins have ever been seen in the Dominion. PIGEONS. Taken as a whole,- the exhibit of pigeons was not as good as that of last year. Nevertheless, several of the classes were of considerable merit. The first and second prizetakers in pouters were gcod birds, but the prize-taking fan-tail was inclined to carry its tail a little to one side. There was a very medium exhibition of dragoons, but some of the exhibits evinced really good quality, especially the first prizetaker. The first prizetaker in magpies _ was a ,good one of its class, but in turbits and owls there was only a mediocre display In tumblers the competition was not so gcod as last year. In' bald-heads the birds generally were rather low-cut, but the "flights" and markings were fair. There was good colour in the red tumblers, but it was from amongst the yellow tumblers that the bird as the best in the section was chosen by the judge as a selfcoloured bird- Taken all round, the class was a YSi'.y fair one. Children's classes are as a ruLs dismissed in so many words, but this, year, apart from the general excellence of the entries forthcoming the section contained one bird which stood out as-the best pigeon in" the show. This bird, of the magpie family, might with credit be shown in any collection in New Zealand. The 'second prize bird, a homer, also stood out as a really good specimen of the general class, although shown amongst the juvenile erftries. The quality in the homer classes right through was good, but at the same time it was not up to last year's standard. There were quite as good outstanding birds-, butthe general run of exhibits fell short- of previous years in regard to quality. The "Finnegan" standard has not been maintained, and birds of that grade were Badly missing this year. One of the exceptions was the fii'st prizetaker in the 100-mile cock class, this bird showing all the attributes of a perfect homer. There was a general imoression that the birds shown were soft, lacking flyiitg oractioe —a condition which should not' obtain at a metropolitan show. CANARIES. Taking them all through, canaries were a very even lot, and well up to the standard. In the opinion of the judge, Mr T. Scott, the show of Yorkshires was the bast that has ever been seen in DunedinYorkshires is a class that apparently is coming to the front, as evidenced by the entry. The two outstanding birds in the class were those shown by Mr Tailboys. In the Norwich there were c om very fine birds, both in the natural colour and in

the colour fed. Pre-eminent amongst the natural colours was a yellow bird shown by Mi- Wilkinson, of Christchurch. In the colour fed class there was a. very fine buff bird shown by Mr Robertson, also of Chi istchurob, which is the finest this year's judge has ever had before him. The section was a fairly numerous cne, and on the whole the quality was high, comparing very favourably with what has been shown in Dunedin in the past. Tho show of dogs must stand out as one .of the best ever seen in Dunedin. In ail departments the entries were large., and a, very high standard of quality has been maintained. Collies did not make a good showing apart from the main prizstakers. In the open class the prize dog was clean away from all the others, and stood second to none in the show, gaining the special in the section. Field spa.niols. ivere a. medium to gocd lot, and made a poor showing when the prize-winners are excepted. The whole ■grade of the breed, however, was considerably raised by the splendid braes of cokers shown by Mi- Liv~-rs".r!g'e. of Christchurch, a pair which would be hard to beat anywhere. These dog* won irr their resp.ro- • tive- claisseis, and took first a.nd special for best sporting brace in the show. In all point? they showed excellence. As a matter of foot, they hold an unbeaten record, and their presence lends a considerable interest tovthe dog sections of the show. Tn the bulldog seeion -■> record for Dunedin has been, established, there being no fewer than 52 entries in the respective clashes. It is also probable that this is a record for any show in the Dominion". There was, as might naturally be expected, a preponderance of local dog-, but at the sani.e time there was n. very 'air outside entry. A marked improvement on last year is observable in both dofrs and bitdbes, the dog cl-nes bein.;r this y.eiar very strong indeed. The most noticeable improvement was irr the heads—skulls and underjaws. As a matter of faet there is a. marked improvement all round, probably due to the "Green-tone" strain in.trodijocd recently to New Zealand by Mr Watson. of Palmewsion North. In the opinion of dosr oxport', " Creenf-torre " is a representative of one of the finest bulldog strains in the world. Smooth-haired fox terriers madifl a splendid exhibition, and Mr R-ogen's Sardonyx, which took first a.nd epeSial, v is alone worth goinjr to the show to see. He quite fills the. bill of what a fox terrier should ba. The competition amongst the prizetakers was vsrv keen, all being potential winners. The winninig bitch in three classes ftlorejand Motorist), shown by J. W'. Th-msorr. excelled in head, ear, carriage, and bono, but was somewhat long in the body. She is a bitch that no judge could pass. There was a strong entry in the wire-haired clashes, from amongst which Mr Webster's pair stood out oromincntly. In iho opinion of the. judge, Mr Webster's dogs nre the best ware-haired terrier.j. that hove been shown in New Zealand —at any •■' '■ \ in his experience. The Irish ter- ■ \ aJthouarh not numerically strong, n,s •' ■ ■■•• tvasted with some of the other 'classes, haye considerable merit, Mr Harper's firs 1 , prize dog being an animal whr.se eaual would be hard to meet in the Dominion. The show of skye terriers although email. Was a worthy oiTe. Retrievers did not make a big showing, but srood type end quality _ were displayed. There was no comnetifcion in th<& "lasses for Australian. terriers and Australian silky terriers, but tins single _ entries forward were remarkably good srieoimeinis of the respective breeds.
