LEIGHTON BUZZARD POULTRY SHOW. 



The Corn Exchange, in which this Show was held, is evei-j-thingthat 

 could be desii'ed for a poultr\' show, and the arrangements throughout 

 were good. The Ipswich pens were engaged, and the Exliibition was 

 exceedingly well supported ; in fact, the attendance quite exceeded the 

 hopes of those gentlemen through whose endeavours this meeting. origi- 

 nated. The silver cups given as principal prizes were very chaste in 

 design, and certainly were quite of the value represented. 



On referring to the prize list, which we published last week, omitting 

 this report from want of space, it will be seen that the competition 

 embraced many birds of the very highest character from the most 

 noted breeders ; and, as a whole, it very rarely happens that in a first 

 show there is so much merit in the generality of the classes. In Grey 

 VorJciiif/s the Show ■was especially good, Mrs, Seamons taking the first 

 and third prizes, and W. Denison, Esq., the second position. The 

 Spatiish class was extraordinarily good, Francis James, Esq.. exhi- 

 biting two pens of birds that together proved one of the most attractivf 

 features of the Show. The Coc?iin.<i were exhibited in one general 

 class, open to any variety. Mrs. Clai-ke's White ones were of especial 

 merit ; in fact, "this lady's very large contributions of poultry ex- 

 clusively of white feather met with the approbation of every one. 

 The peculiarly good condition and spotless purity of plumage that, 

 without a single exception, the iivhole of this lady's birds possessed, 

 was most creditable to the home management, and formed a re- 

 markable feature of the Show. Brahmas were well shown, the Hon. 

 Miss Douglas Pennant securing the silver cup, in rather a large class, 

 with a very superior pen that had travelled from so distant a spot as 

 Bangor for this meeting expressly. The Hamlmrfffis were the most 

 deficient in merit of any classes in the Show, though the Polands and 

 FrcnOi fowls made ample amends. The Bautnni classes were excel- 

 lent, a pen of very perfect Black-breasted Reds belonging to Mr. 

 Jeffries, of Ipswich, being the Bantam cup- winners. 



One of the greatest points of excellence in the Exhibition was the 

 very close competition in the TurJxi/, Geese, and DiicI: classes; and 

 when we add that Mrs. Seamons, Mr. J. E. Fowler, and Lady Mar- 

 garet Macdonald, with many others of our most noted breeders, had 

 contributed their best birds, it is scarcely necessai-y to remark that the 

 birds were first-rate. Of Pigei>iis there was a very good general col- 

 lection, the Carriers and Pouters being especially good. 



In the Extra Stock classes the Silver Pheasants exhibited by Baron 

 Rothschild were in extraordinaiily fine feather, but proved so exces- 

 sively wild as to detract sadly from the pleasure of visitors in seeing 

 them. It was evident they were quite unaccustomed to strangers. 

 Among the Pigeons were shown some Ited and some Black Swallows, 

 worthy of a position at any meeting. The weather was cold but bracing, 

 and the novelty of the sigbt kept the Com Exchange constantly well 

 filled. 



ULVEESTON POULTRY SHOW. 



This was held on the 1st and '2nd inst. in the Victoria Concert Hall, 

 and in point of entries was a success, though, owing to other shows 

 occurring at the same time, it doubtless suffered to some extent. 



Sjmnitih formed a moderate clnss, the hens in all the pens being 

 much superior to the cocks. 



Dorhings were few in number, and rather poor. 



Cainc fowls were the leading feature of the Show, there being Beren
