IVaDDLESBROUGII CANARY SHOW, 



The Miildlesbrough and North Kiding of Yorlshiro Oraithological 

 Association, held its first nnnna! Exhibition of Canaries and other 

 cage birds, in the Town Hall, Middlesbrough, on the 1st inst. During 

 the day there was a large attendance of visitors, and all were of 

 opiiiion that considering the short time taken to organise the Exhi- 

 bition (one month), it was a most decided success, both in regard to 

 the number of the entries and the quality of the specimens shown. 

 Some of the prize birds were very superior, and, taken as a whole, 

 the Show was one of the very best ever held in the neighbourhood. The 

 Association has received such substantial support, that when thej 

 issne their schedule for the next Show they intend making the prizes 

 of about double the value of those offered at the Show just held,

GUILDFORD POULTRY SHOW. 



We published the list of the awards at this prospei-ing Show, and 

 we now proceed to make such remarks as the different classes seemed 

 to call for. 



This is one of the many shows that are held at this time in c(m- 

 junction with those of fat stock, roots, and agricultural implements. 

 The connection seems natural, and, so far as we have been able to 

 observe, the union is a happy one. Conviction and confidence are 

 both plants of slow growth, and it has taken many years for these to 

 pain a hold of the minds of those who should have been the first to see 

 that in poultry-keeping there was profit for all, but more for thena 

 than for anyone else, because they had half the means and appliances 

 gratis. But poultry shows are taking root. Proof : Formerly a small 

 space in the Kifle Hall was suificient for the poultry, but this year it 

 had outgrown its place, and attained to the dignity of a separate 

 locality. It was held in the Green Market, and filled it thoroughly. 



Surrey some years since was the home of the iJorliny fowl, as the 

 name implies, but the good people of the county seemed careless oi' 

 the distinction, or of the many hundreds of thousands of pounds so 

 produced, and the majority of the Surrey fowls now come from Sussex. 

 We may here observe that the contempt of that which is found "with 

 little trouble applies to poultry as fully and as truly as it does to 

 climate or the fertility of the earth. Thus the Surrey fowls have gone 

 to Sussex, the Norfolk Turkeys to Cambridge, and the Aylesbury 

 Ducks are spreading to Oxfordshire, difference of soil and absence of 

 natural advantages being counterbalanced by extreme care and pains- 

 taking. To resume : At this Show Surrey vindicated her claim to be 

 the home of the Dorking fowl. The class was excellent and numerous. 

 The prize Grey and White birds were as good as we have ever seen, 

 and might have figured successfully at Birmingham or Liveii)Ool, It 

 is difficult at small shows, but we always think White and Coloured 

 Dorkings should have separate classes. There were here most excel- 

 lent specimens of the Cuckoos. 



The Spanish were far above the average. Some of the best birds 

 were sadly out of condition. Bnthmas showed well. The hens in the 

 prize pens were as good as we ever saw. In some of the unsucceesftil, 

 instead of being white they were almost blue from the shade of under 

 black feathers, or from mixture of coloured with the white. This is 

 now becoming an important class, and great competition makes care 

 and judgment necessary in selecting competing pens. There were very 

 meritorious Dark birds, but not equal to the Light, There were excel- 

 lent Ouvic fowls, and a greater number of Black pens than we are in 

 the habit of seeing even at larger shows. They cannot, however, 

 compete with the Black or Brown Keds with any hope of success. 

 Cochins are always badly represented in Surrey, and the Guildford 

 Show was no exception. They were poor in numbers and quality. 

 Bantams showed well in their class, but the Black Red Game were 

 superior to any others. The Duckwings were good, but the Sebrights 

 inditferent. Other varieties of fowls were well represented, especially 

 the French breeds. The Cn'vc-Ca'urs auA I/ouduns -were veiy good- 

 These breeds are making way, but La Flicke are deservedly dis- 

 couraged. There was an excellent show of Aylesbury and Kouen 

 Puds : both in numbers and quality the former were the heavier. 

 The lurkeys were very good,

Kational Peeisteeonic Society's Show. — This takes place at 

 the Crystal Palace on the 12th inet,, and probably will be the

 dred buds of all varieties from the best breeders and fanciers in
