most shows, bnt the White Bantams were altogether a faulty lot. The

 Nowsouic'.'of Hatlry, taluii^' first position, anvl u pen of Cireyn belong- 

 ing to Mr. Tate, of LueiU, beiu^ secoml in oiiler of merit. The 

 iSin[/l.c O'aiiif Cock class, and also that for Sliujli' ilaim JJm.'i, werts 

 botii good, but tho birds, as a whole, being in full moult, detracted 

 greatly front the -^ern'ral interest of this portion of the Show. 



The JJar/.s, botii Aylesbury and lioueii, were well shown; and a pen 

 of extraordinarily good (irey (/Vr.sr were worthy of espeeiul mention. 



Tho elasses for /iithhits were not numerously hlled, but there were 

 some w-vy good ones exhibiteil. 



The competition throughout the whole of tho P'kjcou. classes was 

 unusually severe, and it was deemed necessary, therefore, to give 

 Koveral extra pri/.es beyond those offered in tho printed prize schedule 

 of tho Dewsbury Committee. A prize offered by a member of tho 

 Committee, jMr. Frith, to the party taldiig most prizes in the Pigeon 

 classes, to be determined by points^ a first prize to connt two points, 

 find a second one point, hrouglit about one of the keenest eonxpetitions 

 we have \vitnessed for some years past. In proof we may mention 

 the fact, that four of the most interested competitors came within one 

 or two points of each other.

COTTINGHAM TOULTRY SHOW. 



{From a OoiTesiwiident .) 



The ammal Exhibition of the ahovc Society was held on Wednesday 

 the 3Uth of August, and was a most successful one. The weather was 

 all that could be desii-ed, and some thousands of people from Hull 

 and the neighbouring district througed tho grounds dui-ing the after- 

 noon. Some capital specimens were shown in the various classes, and 

 on the whole the awards of the Judges appeared to give satisfaction. 

 In Pir/eoiis two special prizes were offered, one for the best pair of 

 Carriers and the other for the best pair of Tumblers. In the latter 

 case it was stipulated that the points to be considered were head, beak, 

 and carriage, and that may account for the seeming anomaly of the 

 special prize being awarded to the second-prize pair. We understand 

 the prize list is to be increased another year, and in that case we 

 anticipate a much larger entry, although upwards of two hundred p£U3 

 were mustered on this occasion.
