Embden G«ese and Roaen Ducks being particulwly noteworthy. 

 Adult Cochins in the Buff class were in fair featlier and condi- 

 tion for the time of year, and the chickens of that variety very 

 promising, but the Partridge, both old and young, were scarcely 

 of equal merit. Of adult Bralimas there were but two good pens 

 shown, but of young the entries were more numerous, and the 

 pullets mostly forward and good in colour and marking. 

 Dorkings were fair in the adult class ; and the young, though not 

 forward, were very good in feet, form, and colour. The French 

 fowls were mostly Creve-Coeurs, and very good in feather and 

 size. Spanish were shown singly, and both lots were very 

 good, thff size and quality of face in both sexes being a great 

 improvement upon previous years. Mr. Brierley had the Game 

 classes all to himself, and the birds that won the prizes were 

 well worthy of their positions. There were two classes for 

 Game, to be shown by exhibitors residing within two miles of 

 Haslingden, and these also contained some good specimens, 

 notably the single hens, which were Brown Red and Pile. Adult 

 Golden-pencilled Hainburghs were of very good quality; the 

 chickens, which were more numerous, had many good pens. In 

 Silver-pencilled only the winners were noticeable, but these 

 were really good, and the chickens also good in quality. Of 

 Golden-spangled Hamburghs there were some good birds, mostly 

 hens, but the chickens were not nearly so forward as the other 

 varieties. The adult Silver-spangled were in fair bloom and of 

 good quality, and the chickens really good, some of the pallets 

 being grand in marking and colour. The two winning pens 

 were near perfection, and among the chickens were some ex- 

 tremely neat pairs of birds, the colour and style of all being 

 remarkably good. In the Variety class Golden Polands were 

 first and Malays second. The local class for Game Bantam 

 cocks was tolerably well supported, the first being Pile and the 

 second Black Red. In the open class for cocks the first-prize 

 bird was also an almost perfect Pile, and the second a verv good 

 Black Red._ There were no good White Bantams, and Blacks 

 won the prizes for those varieties, both birds being very good. 

 The first prize in the Variety class was won by Silver Sebrlghts 

 of perfect ground colour, and the second by very pretty Pekins. 

 Both pairs of winners in the class for Game Bantams were 

 Black Red pullets of this year, several other pairs being good, 

 but not in nice feather. 



The entries of Pigeons were very good, as also the Babbits.

LEICESTER POULTRY SHOW. 



This Show took place on July 29th, and the following day. It 

 was held under a very spacious tent on the Leicester Race- 

 course. Messrs. Turner, of Shelfield, supplied the pens. Great 

 attention was paid to the birds, and the Committee, we were 

 glad to find, had numerous entries from the best poultry yards 

 in the country. Following the rule of late, Dorkings were not 

 nearly so good classes as might have been fairly expected; and 

 more remarkable still, there were only two entries of Spanish
