HAWERA POULTRY SHOW

YOUNG BIRETEXHIBITiON JUDGE'S HIGH PRAISE OF SHOW. REMARKABLY FINE CLASSES. The fourth annual young bird show under the auspices of the Hawera Poultry Club was held yesterday in the Winter Show buildings, Hawera. The entries received constituted a record and the society hae every reason to congratulate itself upon the success achieved.

The rapid rise in the show’s popu larity is shown by the increased entries. There were 70 in 1927, 120 in 1928, 172 in 1929 and 255 this year.

While all classes were well contceted the utility section .drew ■ excellent • competition, one class, the White Leghorn pullets, drawing 31 competitors. There were 17 in the White Leghorn cockerel class. An innovation which proved popular was the canary section, a large number of birds of excellent quality being exhibited. On exhibition at the show were the winners of the competitions at the recently completed egg-laying competition at Normanby. Much interest was: evi- , denced in these, especially in Mrs. D. M. Waddell’s Black Orpington hen Te Kawau Princess, which holds the world’s record with 361 eggs in 364 days. Other champions present were Mr. M. Scanlon’s White Leghorn pullet, winner of the light breed test with 321 .eggs, Mr. J. W. Carrick’s Khaki Campbell duck, whose winning record was 328 eggs, and Mrs. R. R. Cannon’s team of three White Leghorns which headed their section with a total of 882 eggs. The winners of the ehampionship trophies and specials were: — Gardner trophy, donated by A. E. Gardner, Esq., for best bird in fancy section. —A. J. Lacey. Cash special, for best bird opposite sex. to winner.—Gibbons Bros. , The Swadling Bowl, donated by Miss D.

JUDGE’S REMARKS.

The judge of the canary section, Mr. C. Cud-by, expressed himself as very pleased .with th© exhibits displayed, but drew attention to the fact that many exhibitors made the mistake of entering Yorkshire in Norwich classes and vice-versa. F6r the benefit of those who were unable to distinguish the two breeds, Mr. Cudby explained that the Yorkshire was a tight feathered bird standing erect on the perch, slimness being an essential feature. It used to be the aim of breeders to be able to take a ring off a finger and slip the bird through it. This was a recognised characteristic of th© Champion Yorkshire. The Norwich, he pointed out, was a much looser feathered bird, shorter and thicker in the body, and stood almost horizontally on the perch. Mr. W. Hall, who judged the fancy class and the utility duck class, spoke in glowing terms of th© display. While the entries were very good, the quality shown was the besi he had ever judged. The birds were well forward and in good condition. Th© Black Orpingtons were excellent but were inclined to the utility standard. The White Rocks were good birds and the Golden Wyandottes a very promising section. The bantams were very strong both numerically and in quality, the Black Rosecombs being a special feature. The Rhode Island Reds were outstanding, and were easily the finest, class in the section, being fit to exhibit in any company. The ducks were first-class, particularly th© Indian Runners.

The judge of the utility section, Mr. J. K. Hawkins, had no hesitation in classing the show as the best young bird show ever held in Taranaki. The White Leghorns were, he said, a very “hot” class, and even those which did not carry winning tickets would go far in any company in New Zealand. There was very little to choose between .the leading birds and it was in the finer points alone that the victories were gained. The winning cockerel was a wonderful bird, as was also the winning pullet, but the runners-up were very close. The Brown Leghorns were on the small side and failed in colour. The Minoreas were good, the three first pullets being exceptional birds. The Orpingtons were if anything patchy. Following is the prize list:— FANCY SECTION. Judge: Mr. W. Hall (Leppcrton).
