BIEMINGHAM POFLTEY SHOW. 



A FEW changes ha«-e been made in the poultry prize list, 

 the most important of which is the withdrawal of the classes 

 for Silver Grey Dorkings. The Council, some years ago, at 

 the request of several exhibitors gave separate classes to the 

 Greys, but the result has been by no means satisfactory, the 

 entries not being equal to what was anticipated; and instead 

 of any improvement being witnessed from year to year in 

 the size and quality of the birds shown, there has been a 

 marked deterioration. It became obvious, therefore, that it 

 was a mistake to encourage attempts at breeding Dorkings 

 of a pai-tioulai- feather, and, consequently, the change we 

 have mentioned was determined upon. At the same time 

 the prizes for coloured Dorkings have very properly been 

 increased, there now being five in the class for old bu-ds, and 

 the same nimiber in that for chickens — £o,£i, £3, £2, and £1, 

 three for hens and pullets— iS3, £2, and ^1, and four for single 

 Dorking cocks— ^5, £S, £2, and .£1. Separate classes are 

 now given to Creve Cceui- and Black Hambm-gh fowls, the 

 excelfent specimens of the two varieties shown last year 

 having well won for them this distinction. The special pre- 

 miums in the poultiy depai-tment this year ai-e as foUows :— 

 By a few amatem-s, two silver cups, value seven guineas 

 each, for the best pens of Cinnamon or Buff Cochins in 

 classes 11 and 12 ; by Mi-. G. F. GreensiU, a cup, value five 

 guineas, for the best pen of Game fowl in the Exhibition ; 

 and by 5Ii-. M. Billing, a cup of the like value for the best 

 Game cock competing in the three classes for single birds 

 — 72, 73, and 74. 



The prize list for Pigeons has been re-ai-ranged, and 

 single bii-ds wiU now be exhibited in some of the classes, 

 the° colours being also sepai-ated— changes which vna, we 

 have no doubt, be generaUy acceptable to those who lend 

 theii- co-operation in making up a very interestmg and 

 beautifid division of the Show. 



The entries this year wiU close on Saturday, the 31st 

 inst., and those of our readers who requii-e certificates and 

 any infoiination regarding the aiTangements should at once 

 apply to 31r. LythaU, the Seoretai-y.- (ffidiaiKi Count%es

CEOWING A NFISANCE. 



At the Weston-super-Mare PoUce-offioe the follo-sving 

 rather remarkable petition was recently laid before the 



" To'the Magistrates of Weston-super-Mai-e.- The foUow- 

 ino- petition for the abatement of a nuisance is respecttiUly 

 addressed by the inhabitants of Sydenham Terrace, Should- 



ham Street, &c. . , „ „ ,. i j.i \ „„„ 



" Gentlemen— Whereas since the middle of July the above- 

 mentioned neighbourhood has been distui-bed mghtly by the 

 crowing of a Remarkably fine Spanish cock, fi-om twelve 

 o'clock at night until late in the morning, so^ as to banish 

 sleep from the inhabitants of the back rooms in the houses 

 mentioned above ; yoiu- petitioners pray that Mi-. Williams, 

 the shoemaker (to whom the cock belongs) may be compelled 

 either to keep the cock where it cannot be heai-d beyond his 

 own premises until a reasonable hour in t^^f ™°i™^' °^*° 

 part inth it. This petition has been delayed for the pm^ose 

 of trying remonstrances with the proprietor of the cock, but 

 they have been disregai-ded, and treated with ridicule and 

 contempt. Invalids suffer so much from want of rest that 

 they will be compeUed to remove, and even healthy persons 

 will not remain where their rest is incessantly broken, so 

 that your petitioners will be much injured if the nuisance is
