POSTING LISTS OF PRIZES AWARDED. . 

 Allow me to offer a suggestion regarding the posting of prize [ 

 lists of ponltry. Being myself an exhibitor, I have several I 

 times waited for the receipt of the Journal to know whether j 

 my birds were euccessful, when I have been obHged to send 

 poultry without my poultry man. If the secretaries of shows 

 would have the kindness to forward with the entry papers a 

 sheet of paper suitable to fold round catalo^^nes, with lines for 

 an address to be written by the exhibitor requiring a list of prizes. 

 and stamped by him, the amount for the catalogue might be 

 named in the list of rules, and forwarded with the entry fees. 

 These directed papers would take little time to paste round the 

 catalogue, and could be posted as soon as the prize lists were 

 published, with no anxiety and little trouble to the secretaries.

KETTERING POULTRY SHOW. 

 This was a first attempt to establish a poulti-y show at Kettering, 

 and under the able management of the Secretaries it was certainly a 

 great success. The grounds on which the Show of the 6th inst. was 

 held are very well adapted for the purpose, and there was no lack of 

 effort to add to the general attraction by the introduction of banners, 

 evergreens, &c. The arrangement of the birds in Tiiraer's pens was 

 as perfect as could be desired, and the entries included both poultry 

 and Pigeons from many of the principal breeders in the kiugdom. 

 There was also a very well-filled class for foreign birds of any descrip- 

 tion. A show of tiowers and fmits was hkewi&e held. We have not 

 as yet this season seen such good Black Red Gume, Grey Dorhinrj, and 

 Ganie Bantam chickens as those exhibited at Kettering.

ALLERTON POULTRY SHOW. 



This year's meeting, held at AJlerton on the 8th inst., was a far mort 

 decided success than any of its predecessors at the same place ; indeed, 

 it is stated in a local paper that ten thousand visitors were on the 

 ground, and that the money received for admissions was upwards ot 

 £200, although the Show continued open only duringa single afternoon. 

 It is certain that such a show of poultry and Pigeons of really first-class 

 character throughout rarely occurs, the Hauihirrghs of all varietie& 

 being such, as no amateur had previously witnessed : and the Gamr. 

 and Game Bantam classes were scarcely less commendable. The 

 pens used were those commonly known as Turner's, of Sheffield ; and 

 the arrangements were such as reflected much credit on the manage- 

 ment. A very high wind prevailed, which, though it had the effect 

 of keeping off rain, proved a great annoyance to the poultry and 

 Pigeons so long subjected to its infiuence. 



The following is the hst of awards : —
