sinco estinct, but wo still Iiopo the proffer of flnch premiums will briuR 

 thorn out, if any axe still exlnnt. Thiit such birds were to lio found 

 sixty year.5 bnri; at a fow places in Knglaud U ttstiliud by witnesses 

 Btill liTint;. The French fowls Rcncrally were rcmarltably kooiI, and 

 the Single Cock cIiibsob were mostly well filled with capital birds. 



Oame fowls in Ireland evidently wuut the show and firo of those 

 exhibited in Knxlaiid, the liame birds of the Sister Isle evidently 

 showing more of the ronghaud-tumblo character of tho cockpit than 

 the racy and blood-liko nature of tho I'lnslish breeds. 



In Turh'jx and domestic Waterfowl nothing could exceed tho 

 Dublin Exhibition, and as regards tho Ornamental Waterfowl class, 

 it proved most interosting aud instructive. It was uiKiuestionably 

 quite a promiueut feature of the I'jxhibition. In tho Selling class, 

 the rule that tlie claimant and tho exhibitor mnst settle their own 

 arrongoments, admits of an nndcrabted improvement, for by a collusion 

 between buyer and seller tho public at present can be ousted altogether 

 from any poasiblo chance of socuriug pens at tho affixed maximum 

 price, 30;;. the pen. 



The weather was most satisfactory. His Koyal Highness Prince 

 Arthur, tho Lord-Lieuteuant of Ireland, and a numerous retinue were 

 present. Military bands cfBciuutly aided tho cause, and more than 

 liftceu thousand persons attended. .

OTLEY POULTRY AND PIGEON SHOW. 



This year's mooting far excelled tho generality of agricultural show! 

 as to tho division for poultry. liy a slight reference to the appended 

 liri/.e list it will be seen that a greater number of the best breeders in 

 Kugland exhibited than is customary on such occasions. The Otley 

 Show, however, might bo improved by closer adherence to tho general 

 regnlations. Birds arriving continnously for some hours after the 

 specified time, were allowed to compete— a proi'odure scarcely fair to 

 those owners who at considerable personal trouble sent in their birds 

 to time. Tho pens, also, for the Pigeons were sadly too low; Pouters 

 vainly attempting to show themselves in pens scarcely 9 inches in 

 height, aud a pair of good Blue Runts only made this want of space 

 tho more visible, as they seemed as closely packed as though tied 

 togetlier. 



The birds, however, were carefully fed and attended to, but a sudden 

 thunderstorm shortly after midday was a sad drawback to tho comfort 

 of the visitors. Still tho Committee did all that men could do to 

 make things as comfortable as circumstances permitted.
