WENTWOKTH POULTRY EXHIBITIOX. 



This Exhibition was held on Saturday, the '29th, and Monday, the 

 81st of Becemhtr, and it would be an injustice were we not to accord 

 onr highest ]iraise to the management of the Committee. Every effort 

 was made to insure success, and this end was duly achieved by the col- 

 lection of a show of poultry that would have done credit to any county 

 of the kingdom. The Riding School, in which the Show was held, is a 

 building that is most peculiarly well adapted to the pui-poses of a 

 poultry show ; in fact, not thus less eligible thau for the uses for which 



it was originally intended — as a Riding School. The only drawback 

 to the whole proceedings was the circumstance that the Committee, 

 having a long time ago engaged the pens of Messrs. Tui-ner, of Sheffield, 

 were through a delay in transit from the Limerick Show, compelled to 

 adopt the most speedy measures to have everything ready for their 

 own meeting, and fortunately having a large number of pens remain- 

 ing from former meetings, they at once raised about the lialf of the 

 number of the pens w-auted from resources directly at command. As 

 Masborough is so near to Sheflield, we would snggest to the Messrs. 

 Turner tlie propriety of having at instant disposal a number of extra 

 pens on hand, to meet evei-;^' emergency for the future, as any want 

 of fuliilmeut of engagement is a matter of the most serious im- 

 port to poultry committees, thus thrown out of gear in arrangements 

 over which they cannot possibly have any command. As the income 

 per annum by per-ceutage on outlay from letting these pens is so 

 favourable to the Messrs. Turner, we do not for a moment doubt this 

 friindly bint on future management will he duly attended to, more 

 particularly as the pens when they an-ived were placed in the back- 

 ground unused, and at that hour unwanted. 



The Dorliinijs constituted a collection of unusual excellence, al- 

 though we regi-etted to sec many othei-wise most excellent pens 

 \vith the spurs fixed outside the legs in one or two of the inmates, a 

 veiy fatal defect. The Dorkings, as a whole, were a most favourable 

 feature, but numbers of the chickens were thrown out by the radical 

 malformation just alluded to. Breeders of Dorkings cannot be too 

 I careful on this point. The f'ochiiis were most creditable, as were also 

 the Bt-alinufs It appears that although the last pens put up at Went- 

 wortli were of these classes, they stood the adtlitional trial without 

 any difhcnlty. The Game generally were of high repute, and the Hon. 

 W. C. Fitzwilliam's Brown Ked Game cock seemed alike capable of 

 testing bis individual superiority in the exhibition or the cock-pit. A 

 bird in more unexceptionable condition has been rarely exhibited. 

 The tS/'anish classes were, undoubtedly, very good, although we saw, 

 -with regi-et, many specimens that from being the tirst-rates of their 

 day, were, by age and over-exhibition, rendered only tit to be put aside 

 as castaways. The Haiiibnnjhs were, as expected, generally good ; and 

 the Polamh so good a class that evej-y pen. though unsuccessfal in 

 prizetaldng, was highly commended. In truth, it was the best Poland 

 class seen anjwhere for years past. Although the Game Bantams 

 wanted condition most sadly, the class for the '* extra variety of 

 Bantams," proved one of the gems of the Show : capital Cochin 

 Bantams, Japanese Bantams (both Mottled and White) of extra- 

 ordinarily good quality. Booted Bantams, and Golden and Silyer- 

 laced Sebrights, being entered here abundantly. 



In Diicha, though somewhat unusually, Aylesbury and Kouens com- 

 peted in the same class. Aylesbnrys had. undoubtedly, the advantage, 

 and were sbo-ivn in a condition that could hardly have been complained 

 of, even by the most critical exhibitor. 



The French Fowls were shown in large numbers, and. perhaps, 

 never were two pens of La Fltche fowls exhibited so evenly matched 

 for prizetaking. Both were the property of the Hon. W. H. FitzwiUiam. 

 and the slightest alteration in condition must always tell favourably 

 witb them as to their position in the prize list. 



Wentworth AYoodhouse Park, a favourite resort in the locality, -was 

 not neglected at this meeting ; the attendance was good, and the 

 weather most favourable ; nor can we omit to mention that the great 

 care bestowed on the ponlti-y merits onr highest praise. The efforts, 

 also, of Mr. H. Potter, the Hon. Sec. of the Show, realised all it so 

 well deserved — unanimous approbation.
