CIRENCESTER FOULTRY EXHIBITION. 



Tun Show ivas hold on Wednesday last in a spacious marquee ad- 

 joining the now Corn Exchange, wh'ere :i very successful horticultural 

 exhibition was being carried ou. Thanks to tho excellent manage 

 ment ami unwearied exertions of Mr. Wilfred Bowly, tin- inde- 

 futiuiahle Secretary, the Poultry Show was a most ileciilc.l Mr, ■•■-., ■_ 

 2lll> pens wt ri' entered, ami nearly every part of England and Ireland 

 :lls.» contributed^ 



The Spanish wore not very well represented. Mr. Heath, of Calne, 

 carried on' the tirst prize with only moderate birds. Dorkings were 

 fully up t;> Ihe mark in numbers, hut the condition was far from "ond, 

 they showed iininistakeahlo marks of early moulting. A local exhibitor 

 was first, Miss Milwurd and Mr. Fowler close following. In Buff 

 the well-known names of Boyle, of Dublin, and Cattell, of 

 Birmingham were first and seeoud. In Cochins of any other variety 

 Mr. Fowler, el' Aylesbury, obtained the first prize with a very fine pen 

 of birds. Mr. Stephens, of Walsall, being second; the hen in his pen 

 was too dark. This was a good class. The cream of the Show was 

 the Brahma class. These birds have been gradually and deservedly 

 rising in favour. Mr. Fowler was first in the class for old birds, and 

 first for single cocks, Mr. Boyle, of Dublin, with his well-known pen 

 being second, and Mr. Zurhorst, of Dublin, and Mr. lliuton, of Bath, 

 bein close behind him. Messrs. Pares and Pigeon were the winners 

 in Light Brahraas. The Game classes afforded easy winning to the 

 Rev. G. S. Cruwys. The Hamburghs were tolerably good. Mr. Wood, 

 .it Ki inlal, and Mr. Boyle, of Dublin, were amongst the successful 

 competitors. Polands were not shown in numbers, but were good. In 

 the Any variety class the National Poultry Company showed con- 

 spicuously. La Fleche were excellent. Bantams in the Game classes 

 were also excellent; Mr. Manning winning with a beautiful pen, and 

 Mr. Fowler winniugin the single cock class. 



The Ducks were a capital show. In Aylesburys Mr. I^owler was 

 triumphant. Itouenswere excellent. Mr. Hulbert, of Perrott s Brook, 

 was first with some good young birds, and in the general class the com- 

 petition was very keen. Altogether the Show was well managed, and 

 we hope it augurs well for the future prosperity of the Cirencester 

 Poultry Exhibition.

JOHNSTONE AGRICULTURAL AND POULTRY 

 EXHIBITION — .Ii -i.y 18. 



Owing to the visitation of rinderpest all agricultural shows of the 

 present season have suffered exceedingly, and not a few have this year 

 been much assisted by the poultry department. The Show was re- 

 markably well attended, and the" truly indefatigable Secretary, Mr. 

 Raid, displayed, as usual, his willing attention to every inquirer. 



The Bpamsli was a good class, and the three principal pens of this 

 breed were very close rivals. The Hamburgh classes were far better 

 than we anticipated, as the late period of the season especially affects 

 these varieties. The class for Any other variety of fowls was capital ; 

 it is rarely that so good a class of Polands is found at any show ; the 

 White-crested were the victors. 



The Rouen and Aylesbury Ducks were good, but the competition was 

 very limited. The same may be said respecting the Turkeys.
