WHITEHAVEN POULTRY SHOW. 



The number of entries at this Show, held on the 7th, 8tb, and 9th 

 inst., was scarcely so great as on some former occasions, this year 

 amounting to between six and seven hundred pens ; but the quality of 

 the birds generally was far superior to that of former years, most of 

 the classes being good throughout. The management of the Show 

 and the care taken of the poultry deserve our highest praise ; green 

 food, a luxury to poultry at this time of year, and soft food, being 

 abundantly supplied. 



The show of Cochin.'^vjs.s particularly good, Mr. Mapplebeck's Buffs 

 and the White ones of Mr. Smalley being tirst-rate ; and the classes 

 of these varieties were throughout far better than usual. Mr. Brier- 

 ley's Partridge Cochins were also vei-y perfect specimens. In the 

 Dorking classes the cup was awarded to a singularly large well-fea- 

 thered pen of Silver-Greys. The chicken Spanish class was far superior 

 to the one for adult birds, many of the old cocks having the great 

 defect of heavily con-ngated faces, rendering them entirely blind. The 

 Game fowls were very superior ; Messrs. Fletcher, Wetherall, Poulton, 

 "Wilson, Julian, and Weeks obtaining their well-earned laurels in a 

 very severe competition. In Ilamhur/Jts the Golden -spangled were 

 by far the most praiseworthy. Most of the Game Bantams were ex- 

 cellent, and some well-shown Peldn Bantams were most interesting to 

 visitors. The f»V(.yt', Tnrlays, and /)i/tZ.s were unexceptionably good, 

 as were the generality of the Pigeons throughout large classes.
