NOKTHALLERTOK POULTRY AND PIGEON 

 SHOW. 



This Show, which was one of the sections of a grand af?ri- 

 <;uUural meeting, was held on the 19th inst. The pens (which 

 are substantial and made of wood, aUesceptiup; the front, which 

 is a loose frame covered with wire netting), were very comfort- 

 able and the property of the Society. The entries, though good, 

 were not so large as those of last year, partially in consequence 

 of the lists being closed before the entries were received from. 

 some exhibitors. Of Dorkings only four entries, but the winners 

 (chickens), were large and good. Game were more numerous, 

 but poor. SpaJiish, CochuiSy &nd Brahmas had many good pens, 

 the orst-prize birds in the two latter classes being chickens of 

 ^ood promise. Polands and Hamhurghs were mostly in bad 

 eather, though there were among them birds of many honours. 

 In the Variety class Creve-Ccears were first and Sultans second, 

 both pens being very good. Game Bantams were numerous, 

 and the winners (Black Red) nice birds, the first-prize pen con- 

 taining a grand gamey-lookiug old cock. In the next class Silver 

 Sebrights were first, and White-booted of great excellence 

 second. Rouen Ducks were extremely good, but the Aylesburys 

 only moderate ; and in the Variety class Black East Indian were 

 first and Pintail second. There were some large Turkeys, and 

 the Goslings were also fine, White Embden winning the prizes. 



Of Pigeons little can be said, and this will remain the case 

 while only one money prize, and that small, is awarded in each 

 class ; bnt we would remind the Society that, if well encouraged, 

 this is one of the best paying sections.

Nr-wcAsTi.E-urox-TyNE Poultry, Pigeon, axd Canary Show. 

 — The schedule of prizes to be awarded at the fifth annual 

 Exiiibition of this Society, to be held the 6th and 7th of Novem- 

 ber next, is good. The poultry department is comprehensive, 

 separate classes being given for adults and chickens in all the 

 pnucipal varieties, while good prizes are also offered for dead 

 poultry. The Pigeon classes are very numerous, single birds 

 competing in all, except one of the selling classes and in a 

 collection class, which is for the best four pairs, exclusive of 

 Pouters, Carriers, Short-faced Tumblers, and Barbs. In addi- 

 tion to the ordinary prizes, fourteen silver cups and ninety gold 

 medals are offered for competition. The Corn Exchange is 

 very spacious, allowing all specimens to be placed on the same 

 level. The Judges are— for Poultry, Mr. Teebay; Pigeons, 



Calvert. 



OSWESTRY POULTRY SHOW. 



Although the day seemed somewhat threatening, the at- 

 tendance at this year's Show proved how great an interest 

 attaches to this meeting in the surrounding district ; the results 

 were, therefore, most satisfactory. Oswestry has always been 

 in high repute for the extraordinary amount of poultry for table 

 purposes sold in its weekly markets, dealers from Manchester, 

 Birmingham, Liverpool, Wolverhampton, and other densely 

 populated districts drawing from this market their general sup- 

 plies. Any -visitor walking round the Show just held could not 

 fail to notice the general excellence of the Turkeys, Geese, 

 Ducks, and useful breeds. True it is, though some of the prize 

 Game fowls were excellent, the majority of those shown wero 

 not nearly equal to those of bygone shows, two or three noted 

 breeders of Game fowls being no longer residents of the neigh- 

 boui'hood. Some few good Brahmas were among the com- 

 petitors, being well shown, and well arrived at maturity. Most 

 of those entered were, however, quite too young for successful 

 exhibition. In Cochins, Mr. Tadman was the principal winner 

 with two pens of very fine strongly grown Partridge-feathered 

 ones. Spanish chickens proved much better than at former 

 Oswestry shows. Among the Game Bantams were some first- 

 rate Red Piles and Black-breasted Reds, and some very pretty 

 pens of Black Bantams were also on view.
