CANONBIE POULTRY SHOW. 



Jo3T across the English border, fifteen miles from Carlisle by the 

 Waverley route of railway, and midway between Longtown and 

 Langholm, where the the valley of the Liddle runs into the woody and 

 lovely Eskdale, lies the rural and picturesque parish of Canonbie. 

 On an elevated ground, overlooking some of the finest scenery in the 

 south of Scotland stands the spacious and handsome class-rooms of 

 the parish school. Here, on the 21th and 25th of December, was 

 held the Canonbie Society's second annual Show of Poultry, Pigeons, 

 and Cage Birds, and a better exhibition of first-class birds has seldom, 

 if ever, been seen in a country district. The quality of the Dorhiic/s 

 especially was much praised' by all who know the points of these 

 beantiful birds. The fonr different classes of Ilamhurglis added 

 largely, by the beautiful plumage of the birds, to the effect of the 

 Show, whilst the pen of Cochins which took the first prize proved 

 to be the finest we have seen at any eshibition of poultry this season. 

 The entries of Pigeons were numerous, and the birds of unexception- 

 able quality. The Canaries, especially in the Scotch Fancy classes, 

 were well represented. The comfortable and well-adapted pens, their 

 neat appearance, and effective arrangement met with hearty approba- 

 tion from the numerous visitors.
