[ August 7, 18GG. 



shown by Mr. Broemel, under the name of " Compeine Ham- 

 burghs," and accompanied with two pairs of Pigeons with which that 

 gentleman won the first and second prizes in the " Any other class," 

 the former being in the worst condition and feather, while the latter 

 were exquisitely beautiful, and fairly entitled to the position they took. 

 Spanish beaded the list, and the cup was awarded to a nice pen. 

 Cochins and Brahma s were very good. A remarkably fine pen of 

 Golden Polanda stood well for the cup. A very fine pen of Black 

 Bantams took the medal for Bantams. 



Rouen Ducks were exceedingly good, and some very pretty Brown 

 Calls and Teal were also shown. 



The prize for the best pen of Pigeons in the Show was given to Mr. 

 Beldon, for a fine pair of Red Powters, and so good were all the 

 classes, that it could not have been considered a mistake had the extra 

 prize been awarded to any one of the first-prize pens.

DRIFFIELD AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S 

 TOULTRY SHOW. 



The annual Exhibition of poultry in connection with the above 

 Society was held on Friday, July '27th. There were upwards of 260 

 entries, and many very good specimens were shown ; but we were 

 sorry to find that in many cases good onus remained unnoticed, which 

 we think would not have been the case had Mr. Hewitt been able to 

 keep his appointment, but unfortunately circumstances prevented him 

 from attending. 



There were several curious additions to the Show sent by two ladies 

 in the neighbourhood. One was a Stork ; and the other a cage con- 

 taining a pair of Sparrow Hawks, a "ouple of chickens, and several 

 small birds, all apparently living together in perfect harmony. 



We must mention a case of attempted deception which came to 

 light, and very properly excited the indignation of the Judge. It 

 appears that in this case an exhibitor bad a good Dorking cock, bat 

 no hens fit to mate with him: so be borrowed a pair of hens, and 

 with these made up a pen which obtained the first prize. After the 

 judging was over the borrowed hens were removed, and the man's own 

 inferior hens substituted in their place. Then a ticket was attached 

 to the pen, offering them for sale at a low figure (31 Is.), with the white 

 ribbon still fastened on the pen. Thus, any person who wished to 

 purchase Dorkings would be tempted to buy these, thinking he was 

 buying the birds which had been honoured with the first prize. The 

 Judge, on this being reported to him, at once disqualified the pen and 

 rejudged the class, giving the first prize to the pen which stood second, 

 and the second to a commended pen ; and we are informed the party 

 was given into custody for impioperly removing birds from the Show 

 contrary to the rules. 



Unfortunately the day was very unfavourable, the win falling all 

 the time ; and many of the poor birds, being without any shelter, 

 were soaked to the skin. In consequence of the weather, the attendance 



of visitors was very limited, and only about £106 was taken at the gate, 

 being something less than one-third' of the usual amount. The follow- 

 ing is a list of the awards : —

TAVISTOCK POULTRY SHOW. 



This was held on the 1st inst., and proved highly successful. Pre- 

 viously the display of poultry had been confined within the narrowest 

 limits, but a wonderful expansion has taken place ; and though the 

 prizes offered were comparatively small in amount, the competition was 

 keen, and the number of entries very large. The Exhibition was pretty 

 strong in Game fowls. There was also a very good show of Cochins t 

 and some excellent specimens of Hamburghs, though the number of the 

 latter was small.
