"ssoliew altogether sncli birds as possess this malfomiation, as it is 

 almost invariably traaisuiitted to tbn progeny. lu Cochin-^ the BuiTs 

 were as a whole "the bfcst of any. The Brnhnios did uot show to ad- 

 vantage. There were numy very excellent Oam^. fowls shown ; among 

 them was one that for several years puat " always took the first prize." 

 Hie ever doing so ag.xiu i.> now quite impossible, for when fighting at a 

 ahow with his nest neighbour, unfortunately ho broke away completely 

 the upper mandible of his bill, so that his only utility for the future 

 will be as a stock bird. It is a great pity that snch an accident shoiJd 

 have happened to so good a bird, but neither lapse of time nor any 

 application whatever can restore the injured bill sutiiciently for exhi- 

 bition. In l[amhvr<ih.i the Show was very good, although it might be 

 .almost called Jlr. Beldou's Show of Hainburghs, for this gentleman 

 secured, in spite of a really good competition, first and second prizes 

 in all four varieties. Some marvellously good Polnvds were also shown 

 from the same yard, both SUver-spaugled and Black. There was 

 likewise a very fair collection of Oame Bantams, but the late frosts had 

 evidently caused much deterioration in uot a few of these tiny birds. 



Tlic Aylesburj- were decidedly better than the l^ouea Duchs, and 

 the Extra variety cla.ss foi" Ducks was peculiarly rojd. It embraced 

 •Mandarins, Carolinas, Shell Duels, AVigeous, Pintails, and many 

 other breeds. From JIi'. Jenuison's fine birds being detained on the 

 railway, as the Committee were informed by a telegram, this class was 

 reserved unjudged until past five o'clock in the afternoon, yet they did 

 not arrive in time to receive the honours they so well deserved, as it 

 -was imperative to get out the catalogue for the opening time in the 

 morning. The 7'«r/'.cy.s and Geese were quite equal to those exhibited 

 even at our largest sho-*Ts, and the competition was generally severe. 

 This was a singular feature when it is remembered that the carriage 

 of these weighty birds to so remote a district would eausfc a consider- 

 able outlay to exhibitors. The Selling chisses, as usual now-a-days, 

 were well tilled, and great numbers of jiens changed hands. It is 

 worthy of remark- that selling classes were first introduced to public 

 favour by the Jedbm-gh Committee a few years ago. The Pl<jeons and 

 Canaries proved a very interesting collection, and almost invariably 

 these birds were shown in' excellent feather. 'V^'ith the general atten- 

 tion displayed by the Committee, no doubt the Jedburgh Exhibition 

 will annually increase both in entries and importance.

HALIFAX WIMTEE, POULTRY SHOW. 



TiTE second Show of this Society was held on the Qnd inst. in the 

 Temperance Hall, Northgate. This building is Ul adapted to the 

 purpose of a show of such dimensions, for some parts are so badly 

 lighted that it would be next to impossible to know a Black from a 

 Golden-spangled bird at first sight ; and in addition to this evil the 

 space is so limited that the pens had to be put in double tiers, and so 

 close to each other were the rows, that two persona were incoBvenieoced
