of year nothiuf^ could be devised more undesirable than to take 

 them from their youug broods. 



In the Pigeon classes the Barbs were very noteworthy, as 

 were the Trainpetera and Archangels. A very large entry of 

 good Pouters caused much attention. In Nuns, in a very fair 

 entry, the whole class was disciualifiedfor trimming, not a single 

 pen being found that had not been tampered with, and some of 

 them most grossly so. Certainly we may hope the time may 

 come when such deceptive practices will not be attempted. 



The attendance of visitors by far exceeded the most sanguine 

 expectations, and the Plymouth Poultry Show will be long re- 

 membered by those who had the opportunity of witnessing the 

 arrangements. We published the awards last week. 



POULTRY EXHIBITION AT HOLLINGWORTH 

 LAKE. 



On the 4th audSth iust. a poultry, Pigeon, and Dog Show was 

 held at Hollingworth Lake. The Show was on a more extensive 

 scale than has been hitherto witnessed in the neighbourhood, 

 and is the first of its kind at that place, though it is likely enough 

 that it will now become an annual institution. Occurring, too, 

 in Whit-week, it drew a large number of pleasure-seekers to the 

 beautiful environs of the Lake, itself a sufficient attraction at 

 almost every season or day of the year that promises fine weather. 

 This Show, we think, was entirely establislied by the exertions of 

 its Secretary, Mr, James T.aylor. It was well supported, and 

 deservedly, for, in addition to the three prizes in each class, 

 twenty three-guinea cups were awarded. The arrangements 

 were ample. A liandsome poultry tent was erected on the 

 croquet ground adjoining Mr. Tarwood's Lake Hotel, and in 

 close proximity to it was the shedding for the Pigeons. 



The Judges in the poultry and Pigeon department expressed 

 their unqualified approval of the specimens brought under their 

 notice, which were equal, they believed, to any stock they had 

 seen at any show within the past few years.

BEDLINGTON POULTRY SHOW. 



[From a Correspondent.) 



This, held on the 3rd and 4th inst., was a success, and being 

 the ninth year's exhibition, I have no doubt it will continue to 

 prosper, for it is well conducted. It is worthy of note that the . 

 Judge had given satisfaction, although he had been engaged at 

 the eleventh hour, as the gentleman first appointed could not 

 attend. 



In Dorkings the first-prize pen was good, but I thought the 

 cock much inferior to the hen. The second birds were very 

 good. Of Spanish I was glad to see a good entry, but some of 

 the birds show too much of the caulifiower face. Polish were 

 of fair merit, especially the first-prize pen. Gcunc (single cocks) 

 would have been an exhibition by themselves, and many were 

 birds of superior merit, the Brown Reds being particularly good. 

 The third-prize bird was of rather an inferior colour, which 

 was, probably, the cause of its being placed so low; he was the 

 most stylish bird in the Show, and one of the whip-tailed variety. 

 The Duckwinged and Piles were good, and most of the prize- 

 takers wiU no doubt be heard of again. Haniburghs oi all the 

 fuur classes were good birds, but I should like to see the Silver- 

 pencilled more clear in the neck ; a great improvement in this 

 point is required. In the Any variety class Black Hamburghs 

 took first, a splendid pen ; Malays the second. I hope to see 

 next year a class for the poor despised Malays, and I venture to 

 say they will muster more entries than several of the classes. 

 Northumberland and Durham are the localities for Bantmns. 

 There were seventy-three entries. Of the Game variety the 

 first-prize cock was a nice bird ; the second-prize bird was not 

 to my fancy, the hackle seemed twisted, although in other re- 

 spects the bird looked perfect.
