The Cochins alladed to, Partridge -colon red onoa. some very good 

 Spanish, aud several other pens were immediately disiroscd of, for 

 buyers of good birds proved very plentiful at Middleton. 



That renowned l)r(u'der of 6Vcw and Ihichi, Mrs. Scaraons, of 

 Aylesbury, left l)fhind hrr a ven,- seanty board of prizes for division 

 among her rivals. Tiie lady'n birds wore shown in wonderful condi- 

 tion, nor could a more couelusivo aclniowledgemeut of their merits bu 

 sugijested than the statement of many competitors — " it was no use 

 trying to win when she exhibited." 



The Middleton Show of Pitjtoua was stated to be exceedingly fine, 

 but the continuous throngs of people, by which tlicy wore surrounded, 

 prevented many fx'om seeing this portion of the Exhibition. 



Tile liahhits were excellent, and evidently possessed mueh local 

 interest. 



So close was the competition among the poultn.' exhibitors, that 

 although the Arbitrators commenced their arduous duties at so early 

 an hour as G a.m., it was nearly mid-day before their labours were 

 concluded.

THE WOKCESTER POULTRY EXHIBITION. 

 September 19th and 20th. 



Few shows of poultry have met with more imintemipted success 

 for many years past, than that now so well established at "Worcester. 

 It is certain, however, that this success is mainly to be attributed to 

 the never- failing care of the Honorarv Secretary, Mr. Holland ; for early 

 and late his best energies seemed to be thoronghly devoted to its 

 welfare and permanence. That the Worcester Cora Exchange is 

 most especially snited to the pnrjiosesof a poultry show few will deny, 

 and as the weather was fortunately most propitious throughout, we 

 have the pleasure to record one of the most successful results yet at- 

 tained by any poultry show held in the neighbourhood of Worcester. 

 It is evident that this Show will now prove annually progi-essive ; but 

 even should such be the case, it is certain by a little careful pre- 

 arrangement, that the Worcester Corn Exchange might yet comfort- 

 ably accommodate even double the number of entries of the present 

 year. 



The prize schedule is a very liberal one, and independently of 

 premiums to the classes of £2 and £1. five silver cups are given, re- 

 spectively for the best pen of Game fowls of any breed, the best pen 

 of Grey Dorkings, the best pen of any breed of Cochins, the best pen 

 of the four varieties of Hambnrghs, and for the best pen also of 

 Bantams, iiTcspective of breeds. This, of course adds materially to 

 the compi?titiou, as any -winner of a silver cup can receive either 

 the silver plate proposed, or its money -value at his own option.
