WOLVERHAMPTON POULTRY SHOW. 



The prize schedule was very liberal, and was well responded to by 

 exhibitors generaUy. The Agricultural Hall at Wolverhampton is 

 well adapted for a show of this description, and the an-angements con- 

 nected with the poultry and Pigeons were complete. There is one 

 arTan"emeDt, however, that might be altered to meet the views of 

 owners of exhibition ponltry. Exhibitors do not seem to approve of 

 the birds being confined from Saturday afternoon until Monday mora- 

 in" before being judged. Perhaps the Committee, who are most de- 

 BJrons to meet the wishes of every one, will at least give this due con- 

 sideration when arranging their nest prize schedule. If, too, a little 

 more time conld be given to the judging it would prove an advantage. 



The Dorlin'is were far better than was anticipated ; whilst, stranc>e 

 to say, the Spanish class, which hist year was the pride of the Show, 

 was this year comparatively meagre. It would seem as if the great 

 snperiority of last year's Spanish class prevented many from malnng 

 entries this year, considering their chances of success as hopeless. 

 Cochins were, as nsual here, very good ; and the Uamhurr/hs were 

 beyond a doubt far superior to those hitherto shown m this distnct. 

 The Black Hamburghs were peculiarly good, and several vei^ good 

 Tiens of dark-feathered Brahnas were well shown. G<mc proved very 

 fine and numerous. The class for French fowls was a complete success. 

 The Baiitaiiis were not so good as these classes were last year. More 

 than forty pens competed in the selling class, and numbers of these 

 pens were claimed. The chisses for pairs of pullets, the Gecsc, the 

 ■Turtcniis, and the Diichs were admirable. 



It is long since so excellent a collection of Pi'/eons was shown at 

 ■Wolverhampton, and the condition of most of the birds was faultless. 



The weather proved most satisfactory, and the number of visitors 

 showed that poultry-culture is becoming even more popular than ever.
