DUNFERMLINE SHOW OP POULTRY, &c. 



This Show was held in tbe Mtisio Hall nu tie 30!li uU. 

 Generally speakiUR poultry were sro d eb f-ir as the winners were 

 concerned, and in fome olassea many received commendations. 

 Hamhurghs, thoush mixed claEsss, were quits a feature ; but 

 though good in other respects, the great fiult was in combs, 

 which were too largo and coarse, eapecially in the spaogles. 

 Game were very g.-od in bith oUssea, as also the Bantams, in 

 which a pen c f Pilci won the cup for the best pen of Aoy br. ed 

 in the Show. Pairs of Bantam hens, as also tlie single cock^, 

 were capital claries. 



Pigeons were in pairs, but some of the classes, especially the 

 Pouters, wero well filled ; the latter a capital class. 



Cage Birds wero mostly of the Scotch Fancy Canary, gnii of 

 these the entries were very good.

STRA.NKA.EB SHOW OF POULTRY, &c. 



The seventh annual Show vfis held in the Qaeen'a Hall, 

 Stranraer, on the lat inst. The entries in poultry were scarcely 

 aa large as those of last jeir, but the Pigoona were much larger 

 in number and of the highest quality, while the small eho'W of 

 cag>^ birds was good, espeuially of the Scotch Fancy, 



Spanish, Dorliings, and Cochins lost in numbers, but the 

 (luality of the winners was giand, the Buff Cochins carrying cfF 

 tlno cup for the best pen in the Show. Game were rather an 

 irregular lot, some of the bi-st bcirg ill, tho cap going to a pwr 

 of Black Eeds; the first Duckwings also good, but a little wild. 

 Bantams poor with af-wexceptiona, the special going to Blacks. 

 Hamburghs good cs rei^ards the nrinuers, the Silver- spangles 

 carrying off the timepiece. Houdans good; but Ducks not 

 equal to those of previous years, excepting the Mandarins, to 

 which the cup w.'is awarded. 



Of Pouters there were ten entries, and al! noticed in the prize 

 list; first a Blue cock, second a White hen, and third a Blue, 

 the best blown bird, but a little coarse. In Carriers the wiouers 

 were Blacks, and very good young birds. In Tumblers the 

 prizetakers were Agates. Fantails pior; bat Jacobins a good 

 class iu rill particular?, the winners being all Keds. Tho> next 

 fn point of quality were Bald LongfaoeSjaud it would be diificalt, 

 ti improve on these. The Selling class contained some cheap 

 birds, which speedily changed hands.
