I went to roost, whiob I admit, from the natnre of my duties, 

 ■was very late. If Rentlomen will not take the trouble to write 

 their names and addresseB so as to be sufficiently legible for an 

 extra clerk, a stranf^er to the names, to copy them correctly, 

 such gentlemen must take the consequences. 



As regards reporting birds claimed, I confess there is room 

 for improvement, and I for one will do my best to improve; 

 and to enable mo to carry out this resolve, I will ask exhibitors 

 to support me by not writing long frivolous letters of two or 

 three pages which could be expressed in a few words, but to 

 write clearly, briefly, to the point, and then half the Secretary's 

 time would be saved, the press of work would be much lighter, 

 and his real duties better attended to.— W. Koui'., Sirrci-n-ij of 

 DrisUil Show. 



PENRITH POULTRY SHOW. 



ALTiiofnn it wns the first meeting n( the kind that had ever taken 

 place at IVnrith, that btld on the 1 Uh and 12th iust. was of nnnsual 

 oxcellfuce, and mure than five hundred pens of excellent qnality were 

 exhihited. Tha attendance of visitors, from the attractions of the Show 

 and the fineness of the weather, was very pood. 



The Oiiinc classes throughout were especially good, the Brown Reds 

 beiiiq, perhaps, the most praiseworthy classes. JIamhurijhs, as might 

 be expei'ted, were firstrnte, and the competition in many of these 

 classes was remarkably close. Doriinr/x were generally good, and 

 some remarkably so. In Cociiu,s, tho Bnffs and \yhites were the 

 most snccessfnlly shown. The Block Spamsh was one of the best 

 represented classes in the whole Show. Tho Selling class alone con- 

 tained forty-one pens, and among them were many bargains, the limited 

 price being 30.s. The show of Piricons was peculiarly good, and as to 

 TtirW7/s and Gecfif, none could wish better.
