July 14. The Auckland Poultry, Pigeon, Canary and Rabbit Association closed its three days' show on Saturday evening. The success of the Show was very marked and satisfactory in every sense of the word. The poultry generally was excellent ; also the exhibits of pigeons, rabbits, and birds of different species. The exhibits in various departments amounted to 420, and the prizes awarded to successful exhibitors were exceedingly liberal, evidencing much public interest in the objects of the Association. Mr Pearson, the Hon. Secretary, has worked well in the cause, and to him much credit is due for the favourable results of the exhibition. The chief prize winner was Mr John Walker, of the Auckland Market, who announces elsewhere that his living winners are on view for a few days at his poultry stalls. Mr Walker took no less than 50 money prizes, also a silver cup for most points in rabbits, and several other prizes. Mrs E. Wood was successful in obtaining first-class prizes for Langshons and Cochins, fowls in which that lady takes much interest. Altogether, the exhibition was praiseworthy, and it is hoped the financial results will be equally satisfactory.
