THE POULTRY SHOW

The annual show of the Ashburton Poultry, Pigeot, and Canaiy Society was opened yesterday in the Oddfeilowt,' Mali There were about 360 exhibits— those in poultry comparing very favorably with the shows of former years, notwith standing that ihe near approach of the Champion bhow in Wellington seems to have induced breeders to hold over their birds for that fixture, which takes place In Wellington on July 18, 19 and 20* It is satisfactory to see that; the existence of a local poultry association has had a very marked effect In encouraging the breeding I of pure bred poultry in the Ashburton County, for amongst the exhibitors in the Show now open, the local men are the largest prizetakers. it is to be hoped (hat a good attendance wtil reward the energetic efforts of the management of the Society, and assist in providing ihe sinews of war. The Show will be open nntil 10 o'clock to-night. Want of space prevents tas from doing more than publish the prize list, which is as fol lows :<— PRIZE LIST. -....-. POTJLTBY.

COMMERCIAL.

Sydney, July 5 Mr Lowe, the produce expert, in the course of an interview said the meat trade strongly insisted on the necessity for regular shipments. The supply must equal the demand, and be regular, or the market would be disorganised; If this were done, he was convinced that Australian meat would average a halfpenny per lb higher in London. The question of shipping facilities was moat important, and should be taken in hand by ths colonies at once. Insurance on cargoes should be made to cover absolutely all risks, He suggested that a conference of shippers and insurance companies should arrange the matter. He was not sanguine of the success of th.c chilled meat trade. The meat could not fee kept *Q a marketable condition suQjoienily long to allow a proper time tot marketing. Cattle exported dhould weigh not more than eight or nine hundred pounds dead weight. They should send animals as young as po;si< le, and no very old beasts. He suggested that meat should be graded into two or three classes. This would enable English firms to do a forward business, as they would know exactly what they were buying, and couM purchase for ward a month in advance.

During the 90 years in which th* Soeifcty has bten at work they have circulated 143,396,230 copies of ihe Bible, and expend .d upwards of twelve millions of pounds on their work. The income of the Society for last year Amounted to £140,268 of free contributions and£91,740 from tin sale of the Scriptures, making a total of £232,008. Mr Twentyman referred specially to the translation of the New Testament into Hebrew and of the intense interest mani fested in the Bock by Jews in all parts of the world He also read tha balacce sheet of the local branch of the Society, which showed that upwards of £30 had been gathered in this district from free. ..contri butions and sales-of the Scriptures. Rev G. B. Inglis followed with a short and interesting account of • How we got our Bible.' Rev. T. A. Hamilton moved the first resolution, expressing gratitude to God for the measure of success which had attended the operations of the parent Society during the past year, and praying that the day might rooh come when all tho families of theeaith should be able to read in tlwir own tongue the wonderful works of God. He spoke of the interest which all Christians had in spreading abroad the lighb ot God's word ; of the duty of teach ing our children, week days and Sundays, of tjhe marvellous way in whxh God had watched over His own Boi k, and of our duty to pass it on to others. Key. T. G. Brooke seconded the motion, and spoke of the Bible lying at the founda tion of our national life, liberties, laws, and hopes as a people, | The sec nd resolution wa* moved by Rev A.

In the Wellington Supreme Court) yesterday Mr J as'ice Richmond gave judgment in the case of the Qjoen against Remnant, in which the question was whe her a contractor could recover from the Crown the sum wJiich it had paid to a workmen for wagea by virtue of an attachment orcler under the Workmen's Wages Act. The Magistrate had given judgment against the Crown, and was now upheld, the appeal being dismissed with oosts. There is good reason for the popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Davis a Buzird, of West Monterey, Olati'n Co, Pa, say : It has cured people that our physicians could do nothing for. We persuaded them to try a bottle of Chamberlain* Cough rem edy and they now recommend it with the rest of us. For sale by the Ashburton Drug Co.
