BINGLEY POULTRY SHOW. 



Although at the present time the number of poultry eshibitions 

 held simultaneously, or nearly so, must necessarily do somethinfj to 

 lessen the number of entries at each show, there is evideutly so strong 

 a tide in favour of these exhibitions, tliat good competitions iu spite \ 

 of all such drawbacks take place, and the number of visitors frequenting i 

 them certainly increases from time to time. This statement applies 1 

 forcibly to the Biugley Show, as no doubt the knowledge that the I 

 specimens shown would be under the special care of persons themselves ' 

 well known for their vigilance and good management in poulti-y matters j 

 gave increased confidence to many an anxious owner. The Show 1 

 took place in Myrtle Park, a very suitable and picturesque spot ; I 

 whilst the town of Bingley itself was from end to end in holiday attire. S 

 Flags and banners were everj'where abundant; whilst by the Icind 

 permission of — Farren, Esq., M.P., of The Grange, sufficient ever- I 

 greens were cut from that gentleman's very extensive plantations to ' 

 decorate the whole of the piiucipal streets in Bingley. 



The Show itself took place beneatJi the shelter of a very large and 

 excellent tent, that had the day previously been u?ed for the horticul- 

 tural and floral frte. This caused, no doubt, the only mistake in the 

 arrangements for the poultry Show that could be pointed out. The 

 stands for large exhibition plants were sadly too low for the purposes 

 of a poultry show ; in fact, the pens should have been raised some 

 18 inches to 2 feet higher, and then the general appearance of the 

 Show would have been wonderfully improved. Time, however, was 

 pressing, the timbers used for the llower show remained unchanged, 

 and hence arose this one shortcoming. 



There was a good show of Game birds, and the Spanish cI&^b, though 

 a small one, was first-rate. The Dorhing class was the worst iu the 

 Show, and consequently only the third prize was awarded. The 

 Cochins were few, but excellent; and the Brahmas v^ere better than 

 we anticipated. In Fohmls; of course, Mr. Beldon had it all his own 

 way ; but so excellent a collection is rarely to be seen at one time. 

 Mr. Beldon's collection of Ifomhunfhs was a great credit to this Meet- 

 ing; and Mr. Sidgwick exhibited a peu of Black Hamburgh chickens 

 that were, indeed, most covetable specimens. Col. Stuart Wortley 

 stood first in the extra class with Crccc Cceurs, and the fowls sesmed 

 especially attractive to the public eye as a novelty to visitors not ac- 



customed to new varieties. The Selling class, "not to exceed 20s' 

 the pen,"' was an extraordinarily good one. The two priuciijal pens* 

 Buff Cochins and Spanish, were certainly, either of them, worth thrice 

 the money at which they were entered. Several other varieties iu this 

 class were nearly as much undervalued. The Diicht were very few in 

 numbers, and neither Geese nor Turkeys were exhibited. For the 

 latter two, no doubt, in future years prizes will he offered. The 

 Committee were very painstaking in their care of both the poultry 

 and Pigeons. The day being very fine indeed, there was no lack of 

 visitors, and everything went off most satisfactorily.

PIGEONS. 



The Pigfons were generally of first-class qualitj'. In Pouter cocks 

 a splendid bird of F. Crossley, Esq., was first. The same gentle- 

 man took the same place in the hen class. Mr. Harvey was third 

 with a very good White, which ought to have been higher in the list. 

 In Carriers Mr. Crossley was again first in the class for cocks ; in 

 hens (Carrier), E. E. M. Koyds, Esq., was first, and took the cup for 

 the best pen with a splendid Dun hen. In the class for Tumblers Mr. 

 F. Key was first with a pair of Almonds, Mr. J. Hawley being second 

 with a very good pair of Black Mottles. Barbs were of fair quality. 

 Jacobins were a poor class. In Owls Mr. Fielding was first with a good 

 peu of Blues. Trumpeters were a fair class, especially the first-prize 

 pair. Fantails were good. In Turbits Messrs Hattersley & Wilson 

 were first with a good pair of Blues. Dragons and Antwerps were of 

 good quality, the competition being keen. In the Variety class, per- 

 haps, Mr. i'ardlcy's Maned Pigeons ought to have been first. The 

 Secretary showed some good birds (not for competition), comprising 

 some excellent Jacobins, Trumpeteis, Turbits, Nuns, Owls, ttc.
