OAKHAM POULTRY SHOW. 



This was held on November 2Gth and 27th in a spaciona 

 Kiding School, which is well adapted for such a splendid dis- 

 play as met the view, well arranged, and all the working staff 

 kind and obliging, commanded by *' Wellington," the Secretary. 

 The competition in the first four classes was confined to the 

 county, the chief prize being a .£10 challenge cup for the best 

 pen. It is a great mistake to confine the competition to the 

 county, for only the isdnning pen was worth the trouble of 

 taking home, whereas if the cup had been given to the best pen 

 in any open class it would have done the Society good by the 

 numerous entries which would have been secured. A £10 cup 

 given by the Lord Lieutenant of the county would have brought 

 the best birds from all quarters. The next class was for Cross 

 Breeds, a class of which we cannot see the utility ; then followed 

 what we may term the birds of the Show, commencing with 

 Dorkings, which it was really a treat to see, the winning cock 

 beating the first-prize Crystal Palace bird rather easily in a 

 good class. Dorking hens came next ; they were fine, massive, 

 heavy birds, the first being Rose-combed, well-grown pullets of 

 eight months old; in fact, second, third, and highly commended 

 all deserved first prizes. Silver-Grey Dorking hens were hardly 

 up to the standard. White Dorkings came out very good ; heavy 

 weights and pure in colour, good, square, well-developed bodies. 

 The Spanish were hardly up to form. Cochins were good in all 

 classes, especially the prize birds. Brahmas were numerous 

 and good in the Dark classes ; the Light Brahmas were but 

 poorly represented, body colour being ruddy and hackles mealy. 

 Hoiutnns and Crctic-Ca'ur.'j were numerous and well represented. 

 A special cup, valued i'5 Us., given by the Marchioness of 

 Huntly for the best pen of the two varieties, was awarded to 

 the Cn"-ve-Ccr,urs. Hamhurghs came out well, the cup going to 

 the Gold-spangled. Oame of all varieties were strongly re- 

 presented. The cup-winner, a splendid Brown Red, came up 

 to the improved standard ; in fact, he is the best Brown Red 

 that has appeared for some years. Second and third were very 

 good. Hens and pullets competed together in the Black and
