BURTON-ON-TEENT POULTRY SHOW. 



As excellent little Show, which was more of an experiment in 

 connection with the Canary Show, was held in St. George's Hall 

 on the 19th and 20th inst. This Hall is well lighted and showed 

 the birds to advantage, and with a large schedtile of prizes we 

 think the Committee would find it pay. 



Dorkings were poor but the I3uff Cochins proved good, as also 

 did the first-prize pen of Partridge. Of Light Brahmas the 

 entries were large, a two-guinea cup having been offered by 

 Mr. A. O. Worthiugton. The first and second prizes went to 

 old birds, and tho third to chickens. Dark Brahmas were 

 also ntimerous, the winners being well formed and good in 

 colour and pencilling. French were of fair quality. Black or 

 Brown Red Gatne proved a very irregular class, many pens con- 

 taining one good bird with a bad one. Brown Reds were first 

 and Black Reds second. Tho gems of the Game classes were 

 the first-prize Pile chickens, which were stylish, hard, and close- 

 feathered, the second being good Duckwiugs. The winners in 

 pencilled Hamburtjhs were first Gold and second Silver; aud in 

 spangled Gold won the prizes, all the winners being really good. 

 Bantams, Game, were poor, except the winners, which were 

 Black Reds, the same remark applying to the Variety class, 

 where only the Blacks were good ; and in the Variety class for 

 large fowls a pair of Spanish were first, and a good pair, but the 

 hen (a dangerous cannibal) had to be parted from the cock, which 

 she had half eaten. Handsome Malaya were second, and very 

 good Black Hamburghs highly commended.

TREDEGAR POULTRY SHOW. 



This annual Show was held at Newport, Monmouthshire, iri 

 one of the sheds of the extensive Cattle Market. On this occa- 

 sion Turner's pens were used in place of the wickerwork baskets 

 heretofore in use, and this was a great improvement. An excel- 

 lent staff of attendants was present, and the fowls entrusted to 

 their care could be little the worse for their two days' detention. 



In Red Game fowl some of the birds were good, but there was 

 not a really good pair in the lot except the winners, the first of 

 which were Brown and the second Black Reds. In old Game 

 of Any other variety, first were Duckwing and second Pile, 

 but this order was reversed in chickens where a perfect pair of 

 Yellow-legged Piles stood first. Spanish were good in both 

 classes, and the cup for the section was awarded to the chickens. 

 Old Dorkings had mostly bad feet, but the chickens were very 

 pood in size, feet, and colour. Old Cochins were a good lot, 

 the winners being of high quality, but the chickens fairly beat 

 them, the colour, shape, and size being superb in all thewiiiners, 

 which were Buffs. Light Brahmas, old birds, were a fair lot, 

 the winners being very good, but as a class the chickens were 

 Bomevvhat faulty, still the winners very good in both shape and 

 marking and the section prize was awarded here. Brahmas, 

 Dark, old birds were a heavy lot, some grand cocks heingamong 

 them ; the hens being also well developed birds and good in. 

 pencilling. Chickens were very fine and many birds were 

 noticed, the wiimers being very good in all respects. A prize of 

 Hi was offered by L. H. .\rkwright, Esq., of Hampton Court, 

 for the best three Dark Brahma pullets, but with the exception 

 of the first these were not up to the previous classes in point of 

 quality, Hamburghs, as a section, were inferior to some we 

 have seen at this Show, but the first-prize and plate winners in 

 Silver. spangled were just perfection, and tho Gold-spangled 

 were very good, and Polands very fine. French were also of fair 

 quahty, tho first-prize Cieve-Cccurs being good. Bantams, 

 Game, were moderate, if we except the firet-prize Black Red* 

 and second-prize Duckwiugs, the latter, however, being too 

 bronzy on tail and wing. Bantams, Black, were some of tho 

 best we have ever seen, tho first-prize pair beiug perfection, 

 the second being old birds and also good. In the Any other 

 variety. Silver Sobrights were first and Japanese second, and iri 

 the general Variety class of fowls Sultans were first. White 

 Dorkings second, and White Leghorns third. Aylesbury Ducks 

 were an improvement upon previous years, tho Rouens wero 

 also good, and though tho Gccsc and Turkeys were not in large
