THE POULTRY SHOW.

The Market Show was open again to-day and was well attended. Since yesterday several alterations for the better have "been made in the arrangement of the exhibits. Notably the dogs instead of being chained about all over the promenading ground were ranged in groups at the sides. This gave the public a much better view of them, and at the same time the danger to the dogs of being trampled on was removed. The Hobaon Company's band was again in attendance, and played for several hours during the day. Owing to the hasty way in which the'prize-list had to be made out yes terday several errors from wrong numbering and other causes inadvertently crept into our columns. In the first place the prizes for cats should have been given as follows : —lst prize, Mrs Scaly, tabby and white torn ; 2nd, Mrs Somerville ; 3rd, Mr Perkins. In the dog classes great complaints have been made of insufficient classification. It should be recollected that in this department the number of exhibitors and exhibits exceeded all expectations, and it was not anticipated that there would have been any need for further sorting of the different breeds. The exhibitors may depend upon precautions being taken to avoid this at the |nexb show Among these, some alterations and corrections have to be recorded. Mrs Clarke's dog, No. 262 on the catalogue appears among the poodles. Instead of being a poodle this is a magnificent white Maltese terrier, good enough to take a first priza anywhere. We believe that a special prize will be given for this. An extraordinary curiosity is to be seen jam ong the toy-terriers. This little animal appear to be half-dog and half-rabbit. It is quite as great a rarity as the hairless-horse, and everyone should make point of seeing it. We notice that the spaniels and setters have been classified. Some of the best in each kind have been awarded special prizes. Mr Jno. Kirkwood's skye-terrier Toby has received honorable mention from all the judges. This is the only specimen of. the sl:ye terrier in the show. In the poultry classes we ought to notice Mr We W. Goodhue's coop of fine white Spanish fowls, only eight months old. They are well worthy of the prizes they have been awarded. Of the carrier pigeons perhaps that which received most attention was the beautiful bird " Sunshine," one of the Star express birds. This is a cross between the English carrier and the Barb, and its conformation is peculiarly adapted for quick flight, a quality it has showed that it possesses. The second prize for fantails was given to Mr W. Dignan. Mr Leggett's fantails, only entered for exhibition, were also highly commended. In class 24, for white bantams, John Abbott, should have been credited with the Ist prize and Mr Greenwood with the 2nd. Messrs R. and E. McLean received a Ist prize for their sebrights ; James Stanton's geese also had a first prize. Harking back to the dogs, Mr D. Southland's cattle dog Norval took a 2nd prize, and No. 191, Mr A. E. Isaacs' dog, entered wrongfully as a sheep dog, received a special prize as by far the best cattle dog. Chemside's dog Darkie had a special prize awarded; and among the broken-haired terriers Stanton's (Fanny ob tained the same honor. In the poodle classes Maxwell's Prince should have been re corded as the recipient of the 2nd prize. Mrs Wendels dog was highly commended. A fine South American terrier, shown by Mr Broadericks, hasbeen awarded a special prize. The show will Be open up to, nine o'clock this evening, and as it will probably be a year or nearly so before a similar axhibition is held we should recommend our readers if they live near to go and see the Market Show this

evening.

MR COOMBES' NEW ESTABLISHMENT.

Among the many changes and native indus tries of the last six years of colonial peace and prosperity the clothing establishment of Samuel Coombes has been unostentatiously but persistently sustained in our midst. The steady but sure growth of this, the leading clothing establishment, of the city of Auck land, has compelled the enterprising pro prietor to open his new and extensive pre premises, 94 Queen-street, where an immense stock in every department of the trade will be displayed this evening. We made an error in our last evening's issue in stating that the opening would take place last night. We hasten to rectify this typographical mistake, andmustapologisetothehundreds of persons who were disappointed in not gaining .admittance into this new emporium of art, utility, and fashion. The new establishment is fitted out in the most approved style, with every convenience for carrying on the business in all its ramifications. The plate glass windows alone cost L2OO. The inner adornment are unequalled by any other house in the colony. We believe that Mr Coombes will be able ere long to produce all necessarf'f? *2-clothing from colonial fleeces, which i . to be derived. The clothing establishment of Mr Ooombes, in its various departments, is well worthy a visit, and must take rank as the first of its class in Auckland.

OPENING OF OHINEMURI.

GRAHAMSTOWN.

This day. It is reported that Te Hira has at last taken Government money for lands. His isolation has broken down, and the Upper Thames country can easily be opened. j The Advertiser has a long article on the telegraph case in reply to Mr Mackay's lecture on the "Moralities of Journalism." It quotes the example of the Daily Times in the Ward-Chapman case, and explains how the Government sot alarmed, and urges them to make a clean breast of the whole affair, and let the correspondence be published. It says if an injustice had been done to Mr Mac kay it would be happy to admit it; but wants to see the whole correspondence. The Point Russell tribute crushed 3G tons for 33 ozs 10 dwts melted gold. The Bright Pmile cut a new leader to-day in the cross-cut, 35 feet south of No. 2 reef. It is eighteen inches wide and shows gold. The Company will retort to-night, and have over 400 ounces gold. Sales: Caledonian, L 9 ; Black Angel, 6s 6d ; City of London, 225. Yesterday. The Advertiser published a letter from Dr. Lethbridge, enclosing a letter from wit nesses to the general committee regarding the report of the sub-committe into the alleged mismanagement of the hospital. Dr Leth bridge states that his reason for asking the publication is that the report is calculated to injure the reputation of himself and others in the estimation of the public. He had no hesitation in saying that the report arrived at was as much by the suppression of what was true as the suggestion of what was false, and requests the public to suspend judgment until the persons who now complain of the way in which their evidence has been distorted had an opportunity of correcting that evidence,' and those against whom the charges were brought had had an opportunity of refuting them. The letter to the committee is signed by two hon. members of the medical staff. The resident surgeon, dispenser, and three wardsmen complained of the evidence set forth as incomplete, incorrect, and calculated to convey false and erroneous impressions ; that it did not produce material evidence given before the sub-committee pointing to conclusions contrary to those contained in the report. They also complained that the enquiry was not fair, as a person not a member of the sub-committee had conducted a quasi prosecution without the persons charged being allowed to attend, although such permission was applied for.

TO LANCELOT GOBO.

Oh ! Lancelot Gobo, or whoe'er you are, That wrote those I'nes in last night's Evknino Stab, Tiy, try again, seek favour of the muse, And on Pegasus put Parnassian shoes, And read the masters of the art of rhyme, Your feathers turn,..and stumble not next.time, 'Tis hard a poet can't sing of his boots, When soleless l'ke to those of Mynheer Poots* (Although there may be very little .in't). Without some Gobo lushing into print, , I would adyiseiyou, with a friendly nudge, To send your stuff to Cameo, he's a judge. He rhymes himself, if not in perfect rhyme. He may do batter if he tries next time, And find a wo:th'er theme than Lancelot's soles, And ghosts of cellars musing o'er coiu.s. You might, methinks, by calling at High-street, Find boots adapted for your wayward feet; And more than this you might secure a place. And in life's map your true position trace ;' And view the sunny stream of Helicon, When trees are golden in the setting sun ; And gather flowers, and taste of licher fruits, And dance with Thalia in immortal boots ; May listen to the " music of the spheres," And leave the author of " Old Boots" in tears. * See Marryat's " Phantom Ship."

HANSOME'S PROCESS FOR PRESERVING : STONE, BRICKS, STUCCO, &c, &c Many processes have from time to time been suggested for filling up the pores of the material, and thus preventing the admission of damp. These processes have entirely Involved the use of Oil, &c, which although apparently possessing for a time certain preservative properties, become decomposed on exposure, and consequently require to be renewed. If in place of these temporary processes a plan can be by which an indestructible mineral can be made to supply the defects of Nature/itis evident that a great advantage is at once gained. In Ran some's process this is accomplished, and by the application of two or more separate solutions, which upon coming into contact mutually decompose each other, an insoluble and indestructible BILIGATE OF LIME is produced in the structure and upon the surface of the building. It thus renders the softest and most friable of Nature's products impervious and enduring. Experience has shown that where once applied it is impossible to remove it. This process is applicable to buildings composed of Brick, Concrete, or Stucco, *c, rendering them able to resist the weather, and to exclude damp. When once properly applied the permanent nature of the products renders repetition unnecessary. I, the undersigned, Sole Agent for Auckland for the above solutions, Is prepared to receive orders' and give'all necessary information as to cost, &c. Hundreds of testimonials as to efficacy, &c. Apply by letter to ; THOMAS KELLY, PLASTERER, WEH.INGTON-BTn.EKT, AUCKLAND.
