POULTRY SHOW

GOOD QUALITY OF ENTRIES. A LENGTHY LIST. ~ At the poultry, pigeon, canary and pet show which opened yesterday afternoon in Todd’s Auction Rooms, Spey street, there was a large list of entries which totalled some 500 in all classes. All the exhibits were of a very high quality. The duck classes which were limited, apart from unspecified birds, were rather disappointing, although the quality of the prize-winners was good. There were 46 entries in the White Leghorn class which was the largest at the show, Black Orpingtons following with 27. The attendance of the public was quite satisfactory, a large number of bird lovers visiting the show. Following is the prize-list in the various sections:— OPEN POULTRY CLASSES.
