MIDDLETON (NEAR MANCHESTER) POULTRY 

 SHOW. 



This f.'reat fiunual Show of poultry has taken place once more 

 ■with great success. Here we look forward to iiuding the first 

 great eonteutions in all classes of young poultry. Those fowls 

 which are prominent here are usually heard of again at many of 

 our leading shows during the year. The Show being late in 

 September, the owners of most yards of any note like to send 

 here to compare as a test how they are Likely to rank for the 

 season. If not up to the standard, then, here is the chance if 

 needed of buying. 



The working Committee were well up to their work, and every- 

 thing seemed to be done that was necessary for the well-being 

 of the fowls. Worcester and the Staffordshire Poultry Shows 

 being held the same day, took away several of our best ex- 

 hibitors, or divided their pens, therefore the competition was 

 not so severe and closely run as might have been. 



The Judges were divided as follows— Mr. Fielding, Game and 

 Game Bantams ; Capt. Heaton, Spanish, Dorkings, Brahmas, 

 and Cochins; Mr. Martin, Hamburghs, Ducks, Geese, &c.; 

 Pigeons by a local gentleman, which seemed to give general dis- 

 satisfaction. The judging of the poultry was very satisfactory. 



In Game our principal exhibitors were well represented, but 

 the cup for the best pen of cockerel and pullet was won with a 

 grand cockerel good in all points, but we thought the pullet 

 hardly up to the mark. In the cockerel classes the same owner 

 was again first, and obtained the cup with a good coloured bird 

 and grand style, but a little shy in the pen. No doubt when 

 penned again he will show to more advantage. Several very 

 good cockerels were shown in this class. Cockerels and pullets 

 of Duckwings and Piles we did not think well represented, the 

 first going to a pen of rather indifferent Pile cockerels ; Piles 

 and Duckwings went to a grand Duckwing cockerel. This class 

 was very fairly represented. In single Game pullets the com- 

 petition was very severe. Black Eeds, Brown Reds, and Piles 

 being all well represented, the cup going to a most beautiful 

 Black Bed, free from any pencilling or ruddiness on the wings. 

 The second prize was awarded to a very grand puUet. All the 

 prizetakers were grand pullets. Sjyaiiish were deficient in 

 many points considered necessary for a first- =lass bird. In the 

 cockerel class one only was of sufficient merit for a prize. 

 Pullets were better, the winning pens indicating by their ap- 

 pearance to be related in blood to Mr. Teebay's well-known 

 strain. Dorkings of all classes had a great want of substance, 

 and were deficient in all points to make a really good Dorking. 

 The first-prize cockerel and pullet were a mo'derate pen con- 

 sidering the yard they came from. Cockerels were a little 

 better represented. Pairs of Dorking pullets were the best of 

 the Dorkings. The first-prize birds were a pair of very young 

 but remarkably well- framed birds. They took the cup for the 

 best Dorkings in the Show. Brahma Pootras were numerous 

 and well represented, but nothing could approach the cockerel 

 winning the cup. He was a massive good-coloured bird, and 

 was admired by all the Brahma breeders. Cochins were well 

 represented, and competitiou very severe. Hamburghs were 

 not so numerously represented, but were good. The cup was 

 won with a grand pen of Silver-spangled which no Hamburgh 

 breeder could find a fault with. Spangles, colpur, and comb, 

 and all other points good. French Folds were but poorly re- 

 presented, the cup going to a pen of CrC-ve Ca>urs. The Am/ 

 other varieiy included Polands, Malays, &c. InBantams, Game, 

 the first-prize cock was really the only good pen shown! 

 Bantams, any other variety, were well represented, but we 

 thought the cup might have been better placed. The Selling 

 classes were but poor lots. Ducldings were well represented. 

 The cup was won by a remarkably fine pen of Aylesburys. 

 Eouens were both numerous and .good. The first-prize birds 

 were well coloured and heavy ducklings. Goslings were good. 

 Turkeys were represented but by one very good pen. Many 

 birds changed hands at good prices.
