WAVERLEY POULTEY SHOW. 



This Show was held on the 12th and 13th of February, in the 

 Corn Exchange, Melrose. The entries were not so numerous 

 as last year, but the quahty of the birds in most of the classes 

 was much higher. 



Of Silver Dorkings there were some very good birds. Dark 

 Dorkings were also very good. Cochin-Chinas were well re- 

 presented. Dark Brahmas were remarkably good ; but Light 

 Brahmas were a very indifferent class. The prizes for Black 

 Red Game were well contested. In Game, any other variety, 

 the first prize and cup went to Duckwings ; the second were 

 Brown Keds. In our opinion Mr. Harley ought to have been 

 placed with a fine pair of Duckwings. In i^pa^iish the first prize 

 and cup were taken by a beautiful pair of birds, the cockerel 

 being very fine in face and comb. In Golden or Silver-spangled 

 Hamburghs there were only two entries, both belonging to the 

 Countess of Tankerville, and according to the rules of the Society 

 the second prize was awarded to the Silvers. In Pencilled 

 Hamburghs, deser\'edly first were a fine pair of Golden. In any 

 variety the Frcuch got the preference, and Black Hamburghs 

 were second. Black Bed Game Bantams were a fine class. 

 Any other variety of Game Bantams were also a good class. 

 The first were a fine pair of Duckwings. For any other variety 

 of Bantams, the first prize and cup went to a fine pair of Blacks ; 

 second came a fine pair of Gold-laced. 



Aylesbury Bucks were really a fine class. Bouen Ducks were 

 also remarkably good. A finer class has seldom been seen at 

 any local exhibition. For Black East Indian the first prize 

 went to a beautiful pair. Of any other variety of Ducks there 

 were only two entries, both from the Countess of Tankerville, 

 the Carolinas being awarded a second prize according to the 

 rules. The other classes need no comment. 



The show of Pigeons was very good. Pouters were poorly 

 represented; first Whites, and second Bluas. Fantails were a 

 good class. Nuns were a fine lot, aud the prize birds shown in 

 beautiful plumage ; first were a pair of Blacks. Jacobins were 

 not so good. Turbits came next, and a finer class of birds could 

 not have been exhibited ; first were a pair of very fine Blues. 

 English Owls were a small class; the first-prize birds were very 

 fine Blues. Tumblers were very good. In the Any other va- 

 riety, first were a pair of very fine Majrpies ; and second were 

 Dragoons. The Selling class was fair, IBlack Barbs carrying oS 

 the first honours. 



The Canaries were a very fine show.
