JOURNAL OP HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER. t September 3. 1B68. 



Encouragement of Agriculture, Arts, Manufactures, and Cona- 

 merce." A code of laws for regulating the ailairs of the Society 

 was accepted ; tnd at a meeting o( the CounL-il held on the 

 same day the Stewards and officers for the current year were 

 nominated ; and a letter by Mr. Caleb H. Gater, the local 

 Honorary Secretary, having reference to the Society's Meeting 

 at Southampton in ISO'J, was read, from which it appeared that 

 the authorities of the London and South-Western Kailway have 

 promised the Mayor of Southampton to give the fullest railway 

 accommodation during the time of the Meeting. 



HALIFAX AND CALDEU VALE POULTIIY 

 SHOW. 



This year's Show was held August 2Sth and 29th, in the Eiding 

 School, Halifax, a building most admirably suited for the purpose, 

 and the general anangements were most satisfactory. The Show of 

 this 3"ear ranks among the best that have been held in thfi northern 

 counties. The entries of poultry alone were upwards of 500, ami of 

 Pigeons there -were above 200 pens. Every attention that could be 

 given by the managers was ethciently rendered, and we may justly 

 say, they well merited the success they have attained. The attend- 

 ance of visitors was remarkably good, and the Show seemed moro 

 attractive than customary. Every class was well tilled with birds ' 

 from the first breeders in the kingdom. The Pigeons, too, were superior 

 to any yet entered in the district. It is much in favour of this Show, 

 that the offer of silver cups was unusually great, which, considering 

 the great number of poultry shows now taking place, may perhaps 

 account for the entries being so numerous. The weather j^roved very 

 favourable.
