THE ASHBURTON POULTRY SHOW.

The officials of the Ashburton Poultry Society were busy until a late hour last evening, placing the exhibits, the work being materially increased by tha inequa ity of the pens supplied from Christchurch —-the Society there, having to furnish Ashburton and Rangiora, probably ran short. How ever, ail was ready for the judges, Messrs F. Rogen (poultry), and A. Palmer (pigeons and canaries), by Dine o'clock ; but owing to the number of exhibits, the results were not know in time for this issue. The judges ex pressed themselves much pleased with the quality of the exhibits generally, and there can be no doubt that the numberß show the confidence felt by outside exhibitors in the management. It is much to be regretted that the weather to-day has been so nnpropitiouß, and we can only hope that there will be some improvement tomorrow, to enable the Society to carry out this season's show without loas, for there can be no doubt that these exhibitions are of great advantage to the district. The birds on view are of exceptional quality all round:
