At the Acclimatisation Society's meeting to-day, Mr Russell said that hitherto quails had been shot at too young an age, while persons having licenses for shooting native game did not scruple to shoot pheasants as well. Under these circumstances, he did not think the season should commence before May. He therefore moved to that effect. The motion was carried. The Warkworth Agricultural Show is being held to-day, and is successful. It is largely attended. A great number of Auckland visitors are present.
