NORTHERN POULTRY CLUB S SHOW. 



Tax5 EsIiibitioQ of Poultry and Pigeons was held on the 1st and 'Ind. 

 of January in the Artillery Gymnasinm, Qneen Street, Aberdeen. 

 The Show on the whole was admitted to be the best ever held in Aber- 

 deen, or the North of Scotland. The entries for Poultry and Pipeons 

 amounted in all to Oii, including competitors from all parts of England 

 and Scotland. 



The Ga'me fowls were considered very good, both in nombers and 

 q^nality. Mr. Anderson's cockerel and puUet, which gained the first 

 prize and cnp, were very superior. Mr. Pashley's birds, which only, how- 

 ever, arrived the second day ol the Show, wonld have pressed very hard 

 for the highest honours. The Spam^h fowls were in fair feather and 

 on the whole remarkably good ; those exhibited by Mr. Ridpath, of 

 Edinburgh, were especially so. Dorkinys were a strong class, and, 

 although most of the silver breeds were short in feather, there were 

 many very good pens ; all the coloured birds were excellent. Cochins were 

 a fair class, the single cock which gained the cup being a very fine bird, 

 perhaps the best in the Show. We think the only error in judgment was 

 in the Cochin cockerel and pallet class, a ver}- fine pen of Mr. Stuart's, 

 of Glasgow, being passed over without even a notice. The Bi-aJimas, 

 however, were the great feature of the Show, being numerous and of 

 admirable quality. The birds shown by Mr. Jopp, who won, the cup, 

 were the finest we have ever seen exhibited. French Finds were shown in 

 considerable numbers, the most of the prizes falling to B. C. Urqahart, 

 Esq., of Meldrum, who exhibited some very fine specimens of Houdans 

 and Crcve-Cceurs. Harnhurghs were a show of themselves, ninety-one 

 pens being exhibited : the cup in this class was won by a very fine pen 

 of SiLver-sp angled hens belonging to Mr. Beldon. In the class for 

 Any other variety, with the exception of Mi-. Beldon's first-prize pen, 

 the birds were poor ia qnality. Bantavis were a poor show ; exception 

 must, however, be made of the single Game Bantam cock belonging to 

 Mr. Anderson, of Meigle, which was a very fine bird. 



DuCf:s were good, and Geese very good, the first-prize gander being 

 the best bird we have seen exhibited this season. 



The show of Pujeciis was not equal in point of numbers to former 

 shows here, but the quality of the birds was superior. The classes of 

 Pouters were remarkably well represented, especially the Blues and the 

 White ; the hen in ilr. Mefi's medal pair (and which beat the first- 

 prize pair at the Glasgow Show), amongst the former, deserves special 

 notice. The Carriers were on the whole fair, Mr. Fulton's Don cock 

 which was first, and Mr. M'Crae's Black hen, were the finest 

 specimens of their kind ever shown here. The Fa>ttaih were very 

 numerous and good. Barbs also were a fine class, and the others were 

 all of fair merit. 



The arrangements of the Show were of the most complete and 

 satisfactory character, and reflected much credit on the Committee 

 and Secretary.
