NonTn Eritisti Columdariax Socikty. — It will be seen by a 

 noticfl in another column that the date of this Society's Show 

 iias been changed from the IQth and 20th of December to the 



12th and 13lh of that month, and that all entries muet be 

 mado by the 18'h of November. The Commitiee determined 

 on this alteration to prevent clashing with the MsuchcBter 

 Show. 



CHESTER POULTRY AND PIGEON SHOW. 



This Exhibition took place on the Race Course, at Chester, on the 

 IHth inst. Tho day provinc; quite cool, thongh iiro tbronghout, the 

 attendance of visitors was unnsnally good, and among them were to bo 

 noticed moat of the leading gentry of tho neighbourh>oJ. Tho 3how, 

 or rather shows, for it consisted "of two distinct divisions, one open to 

 tho whole Idngdom, and the other restrioted to local exhibiUirs, was 

 most excellently proviibal for. both as regards pens and covering, had 

 bad weather occurred ; and as regards the personal elTorts of the 

 Committee to caiTy out overvthing in strict accordance with the reqn- 

 lations of the Society, iiotbiu^ was wanting, so that the stricteBl 

 order prevailed. So vcrj- many shows being hold just about the same 

 day, no doubt limited the number of entries most materially ; bat we 

 have great pleasure in recording the fact, that the quality of most of 

 the classes would hold good place in comparison with most of even our 

 longest-established exhibitions. Our remarks upon the classes gene- 

 rally must bo somewhat brief, as many of tho specimens were natu- 

 rally changing their plumage rapidly. 



In tho Dorkhigs, tho Hon. H. W. Fitzwilliam. of Wentworth Wood- 

 house, Ilotherham, won easily with surli pens as must bo peculiarly 

 hard competitors to excel at future meetings. They were slnwn in tho 

 best of health, and were peculiarly well grown. Sjmnixh throughout 

 both shows were especially good, hut, perhaps, the two best classes in 

 tho whole collection proved to bo the Ilrahmn.1. Mr. R. W. lioyle, of 

 Dublin, showed a very fine jien of chickens, which, among a good entry, 

 left competition far in the rear. Nor must we omit to mention another 

 pen of Brahmas shown by Mr. C. Turner, of Chester, in the local de- 

 partment, that not only took the first prize in their own class, bat also 

 the silver cup given for the best pen of ponltry of any kind exhibited in 

 tho local prize division of the Show. They were, as might bo antici- 

 pated, immediately " claimed " at the entry price, five gnmeas. Some 

 marvellously good Pohiwls were shown, and the Silver-spangled Bam- 

 liurrjhs were most excellent. In Tiirh't/s, Geesf. and Ihicbi. the 

 Chester Show stood vei-y high indeed, whilst the exhibition of rif/eons 

 was very good, though many of the best specimens are at the present 

 in the deepest pen-featlier. If rules for the management of a show 

 stand good for anything, this portion of tho show was appointed ex- 

 clusively for the exhibition of local, birds. Rightly or wrongly, as m- 

 dividual exhibitor's interests may have suggested, certain it was. that a 

 number of well-known pens of Pigeons were at onee easily recognisable 

 on tho spot as not at all belonging to the locality ; in fact, they were re- 

 turned home tho next dty to their absolute owner. We regret to say 

 that such practices are not by any means nncommon, to ensure the 

 uutuir attainment of ■' local " prizes ; and in this ease, as in all similar 

 ones that have come within our knowledge, the party most anxious to 

 dispute the awards, usually proves to he the individual who thus im- 

 scrupulously cndeavoura to obtain an advantage by means promedi- 

 tately unjust. 



In the variety Pigeon class, was exhibited one of the very best pens 

 of Spot Pigeons wo ever saw ; in both their markings and condition they 

 were unexceptionable. They were the property of C. A. Bowles, Esq.., 

 of 3, Mount Vernon, Chester.
