THE AUCKLAND BABY SHOW.

Tiie latest sensation in the Show lino—an exhibition of infantile humanity—is taking place this afternoon in tho Theatre Royal, and appears to bo attended with tho greatest success. From an early hour it becamo ap parent that somothing of unusual .interest lor the matronly portion of the gentler sex was about to I r inspire in or near th° Theatre. Mothers with babies in arms> and attended by children bearing the usua concomitant playthings, approached tho ■comer from all parts of tho compass, while the lords of creation, arrested by the sight of the fast-gathorine; female crowd, showed their participation in Mother Eve's legacy of curiosity. By half-past ono o'clock, so denea was the crowd which had gathered outside thestallsentrancc to theThoatre, that it was found absolutely impossible 10 clear a passage for mothers of competing babies. The Committee were for some time in a dilemma how to act, but at length they ex tricated themselves by appealing for police protection. In response to their requost, Sergeant Gamble sent down a posse ot police, who fipsedily force:! on .entrance for waiting mothers and thoir vory juvenile charges. As soon as possibie afterwards the judging was commenced by Mrs Cowio and Drs. Wright, Walker, and Cobbett, but it becamo abundantly evidont that the awards could not bo completed to-day, and tho Comniittoo thereupon rc- BOlvod to extend tho Show over to-morrow as well. The delay will bo under stood when it is slated that there are 114 baby - competitors and rive goneral classes of competition; that, '_u_ a preliminary to the judging in each daw, the mothers repiir in tWJs and three* to the dressing-looms in ord;r to prdpara their babes and sucklings for a successful exhibition; and that then they asembla in a somi-circlo upon tho Istnge, where tho judges slowly meander about, note - book in hand, painfully .conscious of the invidious character of their herculean task. Ae soon as the doors wore thrown open at 2.3') a steady current of females and children pourad into the building until it seemed quite full of tfaem- Such a throng of mothers and children has never before been seen in Avwkland, and Buch a child ish cacophony never before heard hero. A lev specimens of male adult humanity have ventured within tke sacred precincts, but the great majority, After furtively ipoe.i»gi»*ty>o doors, gird up their loins land flee tho scene. Mr H.
