Hanley Poultby Show. — The Committee have made several 

 additional classes for poultry, Rabbits, Cats, &c., also added i;100 

 more in money and extra prizes making a total of ilGOO for com- 

 petition. 



AnEBnEEN Poultry and Pigeon Show. — This is likely to be 

 excellent. Owing to the Glasgow Show being a close one for 

 yonng birds this season, many of the Pouter breeders will 



exhibit at Aberdeen where there are twenty-two classes and 

 four silver cups for Pouters iilone. It is in the hands of highly 

 respectable parties Ukely to carry it out in an honourable 

 manner in every respect. There are fifteen pieces of plate for 

 poultry. 



BUBSLEM POULTRY SHOW. 



The first Show at Burslem of poultry, Pigeons, Rabbits, and 

 Cage Birds was held ou the lOth and 11th iust. For a first 

 attempt the prize list was pretty good, and though there were 

 no cups or extras, the entries were satisfactory. Turner's pens 

 were used, but the Society was unfortunate in the selection of 

 a place for the poultry, the butchers' shambles being brought 

 into requisition for the purpose, proviug very dingy and 

 damp, and altogether a wretched place, but in other respects the 

 Show was well managed; and the Town Hall, in which were the 

 Pigeons and Cage Birds, was. on the contrary, a most excellent 

 place, roomy, well-lighted, and comfortable, and the birds 

 shown were a credit to the place. 



In poultry the S2:>anlsh was a good class and large, and the 

 Dorkings very good, but not numerous. lu the Variety class 

 of Dorkings good Silver-Greys were first, and Whites second. 

 Buff Cochitis were also a good lot, but the Whites shown by 

 Mr. Whitworth by far the best in the Cochin classes. BrahmaSf 

 Dark, good and numerous, and the winners all old birds. Light 

 also a good lot, Mr. Leno first, Mr. A. 0. Worthiugton second, 

 and Mr. T. A. Deane third. Polish were poor, while, as might be 

 expected so near Uttoxeter, the Frefick were very fine; Creve- 

 Cosurs first, Houdans second. La Fleche third. In Game were 

 some good birds, but these were the exception, the best being 

 the first-prize single Brown Red cock, and the first-prize Black 

 and Brown Red hens. Black Kamburghs were perfect. Game 

 Bantams were but of ordinary quality, but the Blacks, and 

 Whites, and varieties proved good. In the latter class Pekins 

 were first, Gold-laced second, and Booted Japanese third. The 

 Selling class was very large and good, the winners proving o£" 

 more than ordinary merit. In Turkegs and aquatic birds Mr. 

 Walker had the lion's share of the prizes, winning all the first 

 prizes with capital stock. 



In the Pigeons we noticed among the Pouters a grand White 

 cock and Blue hen, and in Jacobins a most handsome pair of 

 Yellows were placed first, and Reds second. Carriers were good 

 in all classes, and the Dragoons a show in themselves, while the 

 Fantails were a grand display.
