CORK AND SOUTH OP IRELAND POULTET 

 SHOW. 



The trn-elfth annual Exhibition of the South of L'eland poultry, 

 Pigeon, and Cage Bird Association was open ed on the 3rd mst., 

 in the Assembly Rooms, South Mall, Cork. The Show was larger 

 than usual, and the quality of the birds far superior to any speci- 

 mens hitherto exhibited. The Judge, Mr. Jones, stated that he 

 had not seen better poultry and Pigeons at any of the shows 

 which he had judged in England lately. 



A small number of Brahma Pootras were exhibited, hut of 

 excellent quality. The Cochin fowls were an excellent class. 

 The Creve-CcBurs attracted much attention, and the Spangled 

 and Pencilled Hamburghs were particularly good, the prize- 

 winners in both classes being birds of especial merit. There 

 was a small entry of Polish fowl, but the quality was very good. 

 The show of Turkeys was not as large as was expected. Not- 

 withstanding the inducements of class prizes and. the offer of a 

 silTer cup by Mr. WiLson, Victoria Hotel, the entries in this 

 class were fewer than in former years. The collection of Ducks 

 was large and the quality good. A pair of Black Swans were 

 exhibited by Colonel Stawell. 



In the Pigeon department the Pouters were especially good ; 

 and the Carriers, though small in number, were of excellent 

 quality. The Barbs exhibited were as usual very good. Mr. 

 Dowling has not been as successful as usual, as his best birds 

 were away at Manchester, where they took the first prize, and 

 were sold for fifteen gydneas the pair. The Owls were far better 

 than any before exhibited, and the prize pair were perfect gems 

 in their way. The Tnimpeters were of a class superior to any 

 ever before exhibited in Cork. The entries in Jacobins, which 

 were an extremely good class, were unusually large, and gave the 

 Judge considerable ti-ouble in deciding which was to carry off 

 the blue ribbon. The Nuns were small in entry, but of very 

 good quaUty. The Turbits were largely represented and were 

 specially good, nearly every bird in the class being commended. 

 The Magpies were far- better than any previously shown, but 

 the Tumblers were few in number, and those shown but 

 middling. In the Variety class the first prize was won by a 

 magnificent pah' of White Dragoons ; and the Society's silver 

 medal for the winner of the greatest number of prizes was 

 awarded to one of the local exhibitors, Mr. John DowUng, of 

 Blackrock. 



The show of Cage Birds was remarkably large and good. 

 There was a magnificent collection of Canaries. The Bullfinches, 

 Goldfinches, and Linnets were tolerably good, and these classes 

 seem to be improving. The Bhickbirds, Thrushes, and Larks were 

 of a fair class, and a good number were exhibited. In the Variety 

 class a very handsome pair of Cockateels took the first prize, 

 and a cage of ornamental birds were, on account of their extreme 

 beauty, a principal attraction for the ladies. 



In consequence of an incoxTect entry, Mr. Perrin was dis- 

 qualified in the class for Single Game Cocks, and the cup was 

 awarded to Mr. Cramer, the second prize to Mr. Ducrow, and 

 the medal for the greatest number of prizes in poultry to Mr. 

 J. C. Cooper.

KIRKCALDY POULTRY SHOW. 



The twenty-first annual Show of the Fife and Kinross Oi'ni- 

 thological Society was held in the Com Exchange, Kirkcaldy, 

 on the 1st and 2nd inst. This Society was at first established 

 to encouj'age the ctiltivation of cage birds only, but for some 

 time has included in its schedules poultry and Pigeons. On 

 this occasion, although great numbers of shows were held simul- 

 taneously, it was a great success. 



In the five Game classes there were forty-seven entries, many 

 of the birds being of high quality and shown in fine order. The 

 Dorkings, though not so numerous, were exceedingly good in 

 colour {mostly of the Dark variety), and sound in feet ; and the 

 cup was awarded to a pair of hens. The Cochins were not quite 

 equal to the Dorkings, but the Brahmas were very good. In 

 the cock class the first pi*ize was awarded to a well-developed 

 cockerel, and the second to an adult bird. The cup was won by 

 a capital pair of hens. Although a cup was offered for Sjianish
