THE DEAVSBrKY SHOW OF POULTRY AND 

 PIGEONS. 



Few, if any, of our local exhibitions of poultry have shown so rapid 

 an improvement as the one held at I)t;wsbury. Last ycai' the entries 

 of poultry amounted to 129, aud of Pigeons to -16 pens, whilst this 

 season the poulti-y numbered as high as 170 pens, and the Pigeons 

 consisted of i;^l pens. Again, the competition itself \vas of the highest 

 order, showing as gi'cat an advance in this all-important respect as it 

 does in point of numbers. The Committee seemed determined to do 

 everything a Commitee can do to secure support, and we therefore 

 most heartily congi-atnlate them on the per manent position the Dews- 

 bui*y Show has now attained. It has been held in connection with a 

 flower and hoi*ticultural show for some time past, and the public 

 interest for sensation scenes this year has been much increased, by the 

 introduction into the sbow-iield of the wondei-ful American trotting 

 horse, called " Kentucky Patchea," that by the kuid permission of his 

 owner, Mr. Barnabas Long, of Acton, Spoffoi-th, near Wetherby, was 

 put through his paces almost continuously, from two till six on Wednes- 

 day. The amazing tx'otting powers of this animal may he imagined 

 from the fact, that with perfect ease he distanced horses at full gallop, 

 and that without producing on himself the slightest perspiration. He 

 proved beyond question one of the lions of the day, filling the show- 

 lield with giatified visitors ; but as our digi'ession has been simply to 

 prove that additional attractions are, pccuniai'ily, by no means thrown 

 away, though not closely appertaining to the original intentions of a 

 managing poultry committee, we must return to particulars respecting 

 the poultry- exhibition alone. 



The Poultry aud Pigeons were both ranged in the open field, but the 

 day proving as favourable as coixld possibly be desiaed, even,' matter 

 connected with the Show went off most satisfactorily. We noticed 

 among the visitors Sir George Armitage, and others of the uohility, 

 together with most of the resident geutiT of the neighbourhood, and 

 promises of additional names to next year's subscription list were 

 numerously volunteered. 



All colours in Cocltias were permitted to compete in one general 

 class ; in both the adult and also the chicken classes the Buffs main- 

 tained precedence, aud the first-prize chickens were some of the best 

 we have seen this year. The White Cochins were also very good ; but 

 not a single pen of Partiidge-coloured ones was entered. In Spanish., 

 the chickens were veiy superior as a class, and exceeedingly well 

 shown. The old class, though equally good in character, were out of 

 plumage altogether. The lihc remarks appeiiaiu with equal force to 

 the Grey DorJcmtjs. The Manihurf/hs always show to gi-eat disadvant- 

 age at this season, and, consequently, one or two prizes in these classes 

 were withheld. Most of the 0'a7iie fowls were much out of condition, 

 hut were, nevertheless, first-rate specimens. A full month or six 

 weeks will be still requisite to put them in proper order for the show- 

 pen. We noticed among the variety classes some exceedingly good 

 Sills^ Brahmeis, and purely Black JimtijJcss fowls, the latter (most 

 unusually), having combs single, aud as large as those of Spanish 

 fowls. Only one pen of Sebrights was shown, they were Oold-laced, aud 

 a rather pretty pen. The Blaet Bantams were equal to the average of
