ROY.VL DUBLIN SOCIETY'S POULTRY SHOW. 



Dkcember 8th, !Ith, and 10th. 



The Sliow of ponltry far exceeded, both in the nnmbor and quality of 

 birds exhibited, any of its predecessors. 330 pens in all were shown, 

 and, as will be seen from the prize list, a considerable number came 

 across the water to compete for the laurels in the Green Isle. 



lu ,Silivr- Orel/ Ihniciiigs, Mrs. Warbnrtou stood first with a pen 

 that could hold their own anywhere ; the same may be said of her 

 prize pen in the Coloured class, while in chickens she had it all her 

 own way ; the second-prize pen in the old Coloured class was also 

 very good. In the single cocks the competition was very close, sixteen 

 birds of first-rate quality beinR shown, but the honours were fairly 

 won by Mr. Barlow, with a most promising yonng bird. 



In •'Spanish, Miss Douglas Pennant heads the list ; the quality of 

 her birds is too well known to require comment. In the old class 

 Mr. Cooper stood a good second ; while in both the chicken classes 

 Miss Drevar showed birds which, if they had seen as many months as 

 Mifls Pennant's, might have wrested their honours from them. 



The BraJimas came to the front in great force — forty-one pens in 

 all. Mrs. Burrell gained most honours ; next came Mrs. Warliurtou 

 and Mr. Boyle. This class was of first-rate quality, and by its num- 

 bers augurs well for the prospects of these deservedly popular birds 

 in this country. 



Mrs. Burreil took all the firsts in Cnchins. The cock in her old pen 

 waa notably one of the best Bull Cochins we have ever seen. The 

 title to second honours in this class was so evenly balanced between 

 Mr. Staunton's Partridges and Mr. Znrhorst's Whites that the Judges 

 determined to award them equal seconds. 



In (jume. some birds of the true type were shown. Mr. Staunton 

 etood first with a beautiful pen of Black Reds ; while Mr. M'Clintock 

 showed a nice pen of chickens. In both classes of llamhuriilts the 

 prizes were won by birds of real merit ; but. on the whole, there was 

 a great deficiency in the markings, tS;c., which leaves decided room for 

 improvement. 



Of Miss De Courcy Drevar's White-crested fowl we cannot speak 

 too highly ; they could hold their own anywhere. 



In French fowl, the La Fleche were but poorly represented, al- 

 though the winners were of fair quality. In Creve-Cceurs the real 

 contest lay between Mr. Cooper and Mr. Zurhorst; and, although the 

 Judges decided in favour of the former gentleman, the birds of the 

 latter were by most thought superior ; however, they were both ex- 

 ceedingly fine. The Houdans were well represented ; Mr. Pirn taking 

 first with a vei-y fine pair. 



In the Variety class the first prize went to a good pen of Silver- 

 crested Polonds ; the second to a nice lot of Sultans. 



Bantams showed pretty fairly, considering that this is the first 

 time they have been favoured with a class ; but the strong points of 

 the Show were the Geese and Ducks ; of the former there were twenty 

 entries, all good ; in the latter, thirty-six. Mr. Williams carried off 

 the palm for Geese and Rouen Ducks, while Mrs. Burrell stood first 

 in Aylesbury. The Turkeys, with the exception of the cock in the 

 first-prize pen, were only of average quality. 



The show of Pigeons was small, and included nothing noteworthy, 

 except perhaps a pen of Ice Pigeons and one of Isabels belonging to 

 Mr. M'Crea. 



The arrangements, &c., were carried out by Mr. Andrew Corrigan, 

 the Agricultural Superintendent, and were exceedingly good, especially 

 when wo consider that the entries only closed six days before the 

 Show. Subjoined is the piize list : —
