English Leghorns have also filled well- The North Island Championship was allotted to Wyandottea, and in this there was competition from all parts of Taranaki, as well as from H&Vke's Bay, the championship going to a golden cockerel owned by W. Parker, of Waitara, the bird being a particularly nice specimen and well shown. The North Island Championship was allotted to Indian runner ducks, and was won hy Stewart and Landsperg, of Normarfby. Mr. S. J. Smith's £5 5s cup for thfc best bird in the show was won by W. Hall with a silver Wyandotte hen, the judge commenting on its perfect marking- In pigeons, Mr. H- J. Moverley agiain secured the championship with a bird that annexed the North Island championship in 1916. The judge, Mr. S. Johnson, of B*l- - North, had a particularly busy day.
