NENTHEAD POULTRY AND CANARY SHOW. 



The third nnnnal Show took place iu tho village schoolroom at 

 Nenthead, Cumberland, on the 17th inst. 



The prizes were not sucli as to encourajre competitors from a dis- 

 tance, but many of the pens shown wero very creditable to the local 

 exhibitors, especially the Game, which seem to be general favourites, 

 some of the pens aud many unmatched bii'ds being of great merit. 

 The pen of adult birds shown by Millican '.t Browu were fine birds iu the 

 hand, though the cod: had suffered the loss of most of his tail. Messrs. 

 Waltou ifc Rutherford's pen of Black-breasted Red chickens could not 

 be easily beaten at any show. 



Golden- span pled Ilamlnirghs were veiy poor, but the Silver-spangled 

 were better. Many good pens of both Gold and Silver-pencilled were 

 shown. In fact these birds far excelled the Spangledin point of merit. 



Dorhin/fs were few but good. la Bantams^ Gamewon both in the 

 adult and young class. The first-piizc pen of chickens was of unusual 

 merit. Some vei-y good Cochins were also exliibited. 



Li the class for lieus a line pair of Game was first, and an excellent 

 pair of Spanish second. 



Duxks and P/'f/cons did not muster well, for unfortunately the dele- 

 terious quality oi the water from the lead mines, and the quantity of 

 poisonous matter ou the roads, prevent their being kept in any numbers. 



The show of cage birds was large and well wortli seeing. Canaries, 

 especially, receive much attention iu tho neighbourhood. 



A most perfect pair of Himalayan Habbits was tirst, and two Lop- 

 cared of dissimilar colours were second. The clergj-mau of the village 

 is President of the Society, takes great interest therein, aud can bear 

 testimony to its beneficial influences in a moral as well as pecuniary 

 point of view.

 and -GO of Pii^eons wore shown. Tho S/iuiu.ih, Dui-L!.n;/s, OochLi- 

 Chiiuni, and Jirahna Pootras were all very good, (tome were also veiy 

 su])erior, especially those in tho class for Black-breasted and other 

 Heds. Of Ilaiiifjuiy/is tho Golden-s])angled were poor iu quality, but 

 the Silver- spangled were good. Of the Silvers the entries were few, 

 but there wero gome good pens among the Silver. Tho Iluudans were 

 good, and the first-prize pen one of the best wo have seen. Of Game 

 BanUniis there was a brilliant gatherini^, and the first-prize pen of 

 Sebrights was beautifully laced. The White and Black Bantams were 

 good, especially the first-prize pen of I'lackg. 



The Ducks were good, but the Rouens as a class sni*passed the 

 Aylesbarys. J'arleijs were very good, but Ocae few, and nothing 

 superior. 



Of all the varieties of Pu/iwis there were very superior birds ex- 

 hibited. It was on the whole a most excellent Show, and great praise is
