MUNSTER POULTRY SHOW. 



0\ December 'JOth, the Exliibitiou of PouUit^. Pigeons, song and 

 ornamental birds was opened in the new market, which was appropri- 

 ately decorated for tlie occasion. The pens were arranged on stands 

 in rows, so as to give intermediate space between each row for a pro- 

 menade, enabling the visitor to see evei-y bird in the Exhibition. 



The entries amounted to 444, and the Exhibition was decidedly the 

 finest of the Idnd ever held in Muiister, or perhaps in Ireland, and in 

 the opinion of the gentlemen selected to judge of the merits of the 

 various classes, is highly creditable to Limerick. 



The department for Pigeons, singing and ornamental birds, was a 

 source of the gi-eatest attx-action. Mr. Corbett. of Castleconnell, ex- 

 hibited a complete aviaiy, composed of foreign and native birds, both 

 song and ornamental, and it is not too much say his birds would form 

 an exhibition in themselves, for this gentleman has perhaps the finest 

 private collection of this Idnd in Ireland. 



In the Fiffcon classes there was a keen competition in, conseqnence 

 of the superior quality of those exhibited. Mr. A. W. Shaw gained 

 the medal for the gi-eatest number of points in Pigeons, and Mr. Per- 

 rott, of Cork, won the silver cn]i for Iht: best pail* of Powters of any age 

 or colour. The collections of those gentlemen were very extensive, and 

 remarkable for the beauty exhibited by the birds they contained, and 

 they likewise were gi-eat objects of attraction to visitors, particularly to 

 connoissenrs. lu the poultry department the entire collection was 

 worthy of admiration ; and to those who are not rearers of fowl it showed 

 to what perfection those birds required for domestic use can be bred, 

 and how lamentably deficient Ireland has been hitherto in their rear- 

 ing. Now that this Exhibition has been so great a success, let us hope 

 that it v.ill lead to the establishment of a permanent Society in Lime- 

 rick, so that in the course of a few years it will not only take the lead 

 in this country, but that it ^"ill result in establishing annual exhibitions 

 of all Iduds of fowl equal in extent and breed with the most favoured 

 ones in England. Ireland is eminently adapted for being a first-class 

 fowl-breeding country ; and we see no obstacle that could not be over- 

 come in having as good a breed as that which exists in England. —
