RECORD ENTRIES

poultry show opens accommodation taxed STRONG COMBINED EFFORT With total entries constituting a North Island record, the twentysixth annual show of the Poverty Bay Poultry, Pigeon and Cage Bird Association opened in the City Hall this morning, when the work of judging the 1214 entries benched was commenced by the officials. .This year’s show is being held in conjunction with' the Poverty Bay Budgerigar and Cage Bird Club and the accommodation at the hall is being taxed to the utmost to handle the record numbers of birds being shown. The good work of the local pigeon racing clubs was evident in the large number of birds entered in the racing pigeon classes, while the homing pigeon classes were unusually strong. Entries in the utility classes were also very strong and the ta'sk of judging the birds was no enviable one.

The lay-out of the show was again supervised by Mr. J. J. Jackson, who has carried out this task for several years. Messrs. T. Crosby, patron, and C. L. Fogden are at the head of a band of hard-working officials, the committee consisting of the following members: —Messrs. M. P. Kippenberger J. Dunloo, J. H. Robinson, G. Scott T. Herivel, J. J. Jackson, J. J. Hartley, T. Prince, W. Dymond, D. Jones,‘K Wilson. J. Gordon, E. Foster, assistant secretary, and A. Wood, tieasurer. The organisation is being undertaken by Mr. J. F. Forster, hon. secretary, in. ’the Poultry A//delation's section of the show and Mr. J W. Penny in the cage bird section. The show was officially opened by the Deputy-Mayor, Mr. J. H. Hall, this afternoon. The officials in the cage bird section were:—Show manager, Mr. S. E. Jackson; hon. treasurer, Mr. G. B. Carter; judge's stewards, Mrs. B. Wilcox, Messrs. J. Hutchins, E. Cook and C. Andrews; hon. secretary, Air. J. W. Penny; assistants, Messrs. W. Brown, and L. Illingworth.

Had wen, Gisborne; pigeons, homers, Mr. H. Melville, Fordell; fancy. Mr. C. Alelville, Fordell; cage birds, Mr. R. Forster, Hastings.
