AVAKEFIELD AGRICULTURAL SOCIETYS 

 rOULTRY SHOW. 



The Exhibition of the above Society took place on the '21th instant 

 in a commodious field a short distance from the railway station. The 

 Show was a great success, both as regards the number of entries and 

 of visitors, such indeed as could scarcely have been expected when the 

 Society started a few years ago. The general arrangement aud manage- 

 ment of it were also excellent, and ere long it will rank with the best 

 of the Yorkshire exhibitions. A tent. SO yards long and CO yards wide, 

 was provided for the poultiy and Pigeons — a most fortunate aii-ange- 

 meut for them, cousiderins how hot the sim was. G<iine stood at the 

 entrance of the tent, and the two pens shown by Mr. Brierley were 

 espef'ially remarkable. The cup for the best pen was won by him with 

 a splendid pen of Black-breasted Ked. Some vei*y good pens of Red 

 Game Bantams were also exhibited. The first-prize pen of Duck- 

 wings was most beautiful in colour, but a little too lar^e. In the 

 Variety class for Banfajitfi, the pen of Pekins. from Mr. Bur<:c'5S, took 

 the first prize, a pretty pen of Blacks being second. It seems 

 almost hopeless to show against oriental pets, as all Judges seem to 

 be prepossessed in their favour. It would almost cause one to wish 

 them a class to themselves. In the classes for adult Htr.nhinihs tlierc 

 were some good birds, but suffering much from moulting. There were 

 some excellent Hamburgh chickens. The Dorlhiij^, botli old and 

 young, were much hitter than is generally the case in the locality. 

 There were large numbers of Coch'tis, both adnlt and chicken. The 

 adult pen of Messrs. Taylor was all that could be desired, and the 

 cnp for the best pen (Game excepted!, was well won with the pen of 

 chickens belouging to these gentlemen; in fact, a more beautiful pair 

 of birds of this variety is rarely seen. Bralunas of both ages "were 

 good, and shown in fine condition for this advanced season. PoUimls 

 were first in the Variety class, and Cfi-i'e C'n-Kvs second. 



Two pens of very large Aylesbury Diicl\t were shown by Mr. Far- 

 rand, thongh it would he well if these hiids were free of the creamy 

 colour of the plumage. 



Of fir/cons there was a good show, and ever^* class was well repre- 

 sented. The Carriers were good, and the Yellow Dragons shown by 

 Mr. Tbompsou exceedingly smart. Mr. Hawley won the medal for 

 the best pair in the Show with a capital pair of Blue Pouters of great 

 length. The Trumpeters were of extraordinaiT merit, and tlie Owls 

 and Turbits were equally good. The class for Nuns formed a ]iretty 

 sight, and the Jacobins wei-e greatly admired. A most beautiful pair 

 of lee Pigeons won in the Variety class.
