GENERAL TELEGRAMS

UTILITY POULTRY. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Palmers ton N., Last Night. A North Island Utility Poultry Association was formed this evening. Messrs. G. Finn, D. Inman Todd, and A. Mumby were appointed a committee to further the movement and report later. Mr. F. Brown, poultry expert, who judged the poultry at the National Dairy Show, states that the utility men competing in the poultry section at the show were disappointed at the results. They understood birds were to be judged purely on utility standards, but as the show was held under « icense of the North Island Association, birds were judged on the English standard. Consequently the utility birds were passed over. THEJFTS FROM A RAILWAY STATION. _ Auckland, Wednesday.
