JOUBNAL OF HOItTICULTUKE AND COTTAGE GAUDENEK. 



[ August 28, 1866. 



the little fellows at the Show ; such a sight would not, I am sure, 

 hinder their reformation. 



Besides the poultry tent there was a large one for flowers ; another 

 of equal dimensions for cottagers' flowers, fruits, and vegetables ; and 

 a third in which were table decorations, principally flower-vases, in 

 which the flowers were very tastefully arranged by fair fingers, though 

 I fear I saw nothing very new. 



At three o'clock I left the Show, and met visitors pouring in as fast 

 as possiblo, admitted through Mr. Budgett's pretty garden, through 

 which also I made my exit, and reached with difficulty my cab ; for 

 now the village street was crowded with carriages, and people on foot, 

 and a pleasure fair was in its full glory. 



One final word. I would strongly recommend the poultry Show to 

 be in future held in Bristol ; it would be easy of access, and certain to 

 be large and well attended. Let my good friends at Kingswood and 

 the fowl-loving Bristolians lay their managing heads together. —

DRIGHLINGTON AND AD WALTON POULTRY 

 SHOW. 

 (From a Correspond* nt. I 

 The eleventh annual Show of the Drighlington (near Leeds) Agri- 

 cultural Society was held on Saturday the 18th inst. The show of 

 poultry was scarcely equal to that at previous exhibitions. Except the 

 class in which a cup was offered for the best pen of any breed the 

 Show was well judged ; but in this class the cup was given to a pen of 

 Black Red Game which could not have won in its own class, being, to 

 say the least, exceeding poor, while a magniti cent pen of Gold Polands 

 and an excellent pen of Spanish were passed over. The cock in the 

 cup pen was in the worst condition and feather, and very much duck- 

 footed ; while the hen was more like a Dorking in shape, and altogether 

 out of condition. 



(From another Correspondent.) 

 The prize for Black Spanish went to Mr. Thresh, whose birds were 

 good, more especially the hen. The second-prize birds of Mr. Beldon's 

 were of average merit. The DorJdng$ were not first-class. The < 'ochins 

 were rather inferior to what we have seen. In Black-breasted and 

 other Reds some good birds were shown. Mr. Noble showed excellent 

 Black Game. In the Hamburgh classes Mr. Beldon as usual showed 

 good birds. His Silver and Golden Polands were also much admired. 



In Game Bantams Mr. Noble, who took the first prize, had a good 

 pen. In the class for any variety of Bantam] Mr. Huttou was first 

 with a very superior pen of Blacks. The second-prize pen was also 

 good. The class for the best cock of any breed brought together some 

 excellent birds. Mr. Beldon taking the first prize with a splendid Buff 

 Cochin ; indeed had this bird been shown in the cup class with a hen 

 of equal merit, no doubt he would have taken the first position. The 

 second prize went to a very good Black Red Game cock, the property 

 of Mr. Noble, Mr. Thresh taking thud with a very fair specimen of 

 Black Spanish. For the best pen of poultry Mr. Fell took tke cup 

 with Black Red Game. The entry in this class was small, but tin- 

 birds were of average merit. The classes for Pigeons were not well 

 filled.
