THE ASHFORD and EAST KENT POULTRY 

 SHOW. 



The gale of the 5th inst. severely tried the huge canvas erections in 

 which a large portion of the poultry and animals for the above ex- 

 hibition had by the close of the evening been penned. Men were 

 watching the marquees all night, and notwithstanding that one or 

 two breaches were made in the canvas all was kept secure until morn- 

 ing, by which time the gale had abated. On Sunday evening, how- 

 ever, the wind again arose, and by eleven o'clock a perfect hurricane 

 was blowing from the south-west, and soon the Cattle Show bnilding 

 began to yield to the pressure npon it, and in the course of a short 

 time the canvas was blown to ribbons, and the beams were broken and 

 destroyed. The Poultry Show building stood longer, but at last that, 

 too, succumbed, and the canvas and internal gear being blown abont, 

 every now and then knocked down and broke the pens, liberating 

 many of the birds, so that occasionally from fifty to a hundred were 

 running abont at one time. Mr. G. Foord, the Secretary of the Shows, 

 with Dr. Beet and other gentlemen of the town, who had been called 

 up, exerted themselves to the utmost to get the birds out of the ex- 

 posed pens, and secure those which were running loose. The birds 

 were replaced in hampers and boxes and conveyed to the Com Ex- 

 change for shelter. The roof of a booth containing the Geese and 

 Turkey classes was blown down entire, and the canvas fell on the 

 pens, so that the birds had to be got out from underneath. In the 

 morning the place was a scene of complete devastation, and it seemed 

 doubtful whether a show of Poultry could take place, whatever efforts 

 might be made to repair the damage. The energy of the Secretary, 

 Mr. George Eoord, and of the managing committee, was quite equal 

 to the occasion. 



The Corn Exchan^^e directors having at length yielded consent to 

 the Poultry Show being held in their building, the committee and s 

 number of zealous inhabitants of the town set vigorously to wort to 

 make the necessary arrangements, and notwithstanding the mixing np 

 of birds, the destruction of tickets, and the great labour involved in 

 removing and setting in order the pens, what seemed a well-nigh 

 herculean task, was accomplished by six o'clock in the evening to a 

 sufficient extent to allow of the public being admitted. 



Of course, any praise bestowed on either of the shows founded on 

 the little there was to bo seen on the Saturday night would be absurd, 

 as a large portion of the exhibits — and those the most valuable portion 

 of them, could not be inspected until Monday evening. The great 

 accession sent to the Poultry Show by Miss Hales, in particular, did 

 not arrive until Saturday night. On Tuesday, however, it was 

 apparent that but for the unfortunate occurence above described the 

 exertions of the managers of the Show would have been attended with 

 a larger amount of success than ever before rewarded their exertions. 



We should state the judging did not take place until Tuesday. A 

 meeting of the Committee was held in the morning to decide what was 

 best to be done under the circumstances. It was resolved that an 

 endeavour should be made to keep faith with the public, and in all 

 cases where the birds were mixed together, the entrance money should 

 be returned. Awards were made in each class, although in one or two 

 instances the second or third prizes could not be given, owing to 

 doubtful ownership.
