OUNDLE POULTRY SHOW. 



The Northamptonshire Agricultnral Society has for many years 

 added both poultry and Pigeons to the many attractions of its annual 

 meetings, and the collection this year was certainly considerably in 

 advance of those previonsly brought together. This division of the 

 Show when ready for public inspection proved exceedingly well ar- 

 ranged, and the attendance of visitors all the time the Show was open 

 proved how interesting it was to the company generally. Much trouble 

 and inconvenience was caused by the pens, which were supplied by 

 Messrs. Turner, of Sheffield, not arriving in due time, though tho 

 stands were fixed and ready a long while previously. The man e:^- 

 pected to fix the pens never appeared, and a few men had to make the 

 attempt at the last moment, as best they could, with string. After a 

 delay of at least twenty-four hours from the time originally contem- 

 plated, the Show was such as to compensate a large company for the 

 annoyance thus caused. 



The Grey Dorhings were one of the chief features of the Show, and 

 of this variety Mr. Longland exhibited a collection such as is rarely 

 surpassed. The chickens shown by this gentleman were undoubtedly 

 the most matured of any we have seen this season, and in first-rato 

 condition. In the classes for /'^/Janw/i thp competition of adult birds 

 was small though good, the chickens being, however, generally good 

 throughout the class. Many excellent Game fowls were shown, and 

 Iklr. S. Deacon took a great portion of the premiums. Cochins were 

 numerous and good, and here again several pens of finely grown 

 chickens were exhibited ; and of Brahma Pootras as early chickens 

 the same statement holds good. The Aylesbury Duds and Gccsc 

 were remarkably good. 



We noticed in the Bantam class (here open alike to every variety of 

 Bantams), birds of very novel character, being evidently a cross 

 between the Japanese Bantam and the Silky Fowl. They were so 

 extraordinary as to attract the special attention of most poultry-breed- 

 ers ; and a pen of Frizzled Bantams in the same class was scarcely 

 less worthy of attention. 



In Bif/eons the Society's nile was to exhibit pens of three different 

 varieties from each fiub?;oriber. The competition was very restricted 

 as to entries, but the birds were unusnally good. The Show was 

 most successful, and the weather all that could be wished for.
