DUMFRIES AND MAXWELL-TOWN POULTRY 

 AND BIRD SHOW. 



This, the eleventh annual competition, was held on the ISth and 

 l'.'th in the Mechanics' Hall. 



The Show, both as regards the number of entries and superior 

 quality, was the best that has taken place in Dumfries. The Committee 

 deserve the highest credit for sneh an excellent show ; and to the 

 Secretary, Mr. John Maxwell, whose zeal and efforts to secure a first- 

 class competition have been unwearied, both the exhibitors and the 

 public are much indebted. 



The entries were ; —

 Bantams 30

l 1370.

The adult Game were of moderate qnality in both classes, but the 

 chickens gave evidence of their being overshown. The Silver-Grey 

 Dorking hens were very good in colour, but most of the cocks faulty 

 in that respect, being flecked with white on the breast and fluff. The 

 chickens were an improvement on the old birds. Among Dark Greys 

 of both ages were some heavy-framed birds. The Spanish were not 

 so good as we expected, though the hens were, as a rule, superior to 

 the cocks, which, a'though allowed to win, bore remarkable evidence of 

 the trimmer's manipulations. The first-prize Buff Cochins were good 

 in all points, bnt the first-prize chickens were bad. The White 

 Cochins were a fine display tnl shown in excellent condition. 

 Brahma Pant, -us were tolerably good, the second-prize chickens being 

 of the Light^ variety, and very sound Ln colour. Of Hamburgh*, the 

 Silver and Gold varieties were shown in one class, and most of the 

 prizes were won by the Scotch exhibitors. The entries, however, call 

 for a division of these varieties. 



Ducks, both Aylesbury and Ronen, were very large and good, but we 

 thought too little attention had been paid to the quality of the bills. 

 A beautiful pair of Pintails was first in the " Variety rlu'ss." 



The Laced. Black, and White Bantams were all well represented in 

 their respective classes, and the Game were heavy in entries, bnt in 

 the Reds there were very few well-marked pairs, but the Duckwin"s, 

 though large, were good in colour. 



There were some good Pigeons in most of the classes, but the entries 

 were not numerous. The Ponters and Carriers were good, the Fantails 

 of average merit, and the Jacobins poor. 



The Canary department was of special interest and presented a 

 very pretty Bight. The whole of the classes were devoted to the 

 Scotch Fancy, which bear great evidence of their Belgian paternity. 

 The Goldfinch Mules were good, and the Goldfinches most splendid. 



The prize-sheets were executed with a promptness and precision 

 worthy of being copied at some of our leading English showB.
