COTTINGHAM POULTRY SHOW. 



(From a Correspondent.) 



The annual Exhibition of Poultry and Pigeons was held on the 

 29th August, and. as regards numbers of outries, far exceeded those of 

 former years, while in many of the classes it was u matter of great 

 difficulty for the Judges to decide upon the respootive merits of the 

 various pens : so much so, that in several cases they placed two pens 

 on an equality, and awarded on " equal " hist, or an " equal " second ; 

 Jbut, as the authorities would have -us to understand it, they bestowed 

 these extra favours to the specimens thus honoured with a very 

 niggardly hand, as instead of either competitor receiving the full 

 ralue of the prize, it was to be divided equally between the two 1 — 

 which is certainly a new idea, and it is very doubtful whether either 

 one or both of the successful partieB cannot legally claim the amount 

 offered in the schedule for those classes. However this may be, 

 another year., it will be well to avoid such a cause of dispute, and one 

 way of doing bo will be to restore the class for Rouen Ducks, and not to 

 leave these and a host of other Ducks to compete together for the prizes. 



F. Ferguson, Esq., of Eisby Park, and Mr. D. Pickering, of Hull,

The Show was entirely for birds of the year, and 123 pens of poultry 

 were exhibited. ThcBe were shown in Turner's pons. In Dorkings,

 wood second with Buffs, and Mr. Bush, third. In Oume, Mr. 8. 

 Mathews took the cup witk Black-broasted EedB J Mr. Jenkins being 

 second and third. One pen was disqualified owing to the sickly 

 state of the birds. Spanish were not in such good feather as the 

 other varieties. Mr. Bowo took the cup. Of Brahmas there was a 

 strong entry both of Dark and Light. Mr. Lane was first with Dark, 

 and Mr. Ede second with Light. In Spangled Hamburahs Mr. PreBton 

 was first, and Miss Barter second. In Pencilled Hamburghs, Mr. 

 Havers was first, and Mr. Preston second. In the Variety class,

 and second with very excellent Hondans and Crcve Coeurs, and third 

 with La Fleche. In Game Bantams, Mr. Manning was first with 

 Piles, and second with Black-breasted Beds. In the any other Bantam 

 class, Mr. E. Hutton was awarded a prize for a very deserving pair of

 In the sweepstakes for Game cockerels, Mr. Pope was first with s, 

 Black-breasted Bed ; the Duke of Newcastle second with a Brown Bed, 

 and Mr. Mathews third with a Black-breasted Bed. Mr. Musters had 

 a Black-breasted Bed, and a Pile very highly commended ; and Mr. 

 Jenkin's was also commended, the whole being a very good class. A very 

 fine Malay cockerel was here shown out of j 1 ice. Of the Cottagers' 

 poultry, to which it was desired to hold ou a I much encouragement 

 as possible, there were .two pens of Dorkinjs, one was awarded B 

 second prize, the other being a mongrel breed. In the Cottagers' 

 Variety class, Silver Polands were first ; Brahmas, second ; Cochins, 

 third; Game, fourth. Of Cottagers' Ducks, the first were Bonena ;

WAKEFIELD POULTRY SHOW. 



The second annual Exhibition of the great West Biding Agricultural 

 and Horticultural Society was held at Wakefield on Saturday, the 1st 

 inst. The poultry, although not numerous, was very choice. 



For the best pen of Game , the silver cup was carried off by Sir St. 

 George Gore, Bart., with a first-class pen of Brown Beds. In the 

 elasses for Beds and Duekwings, the first prizes were awarded to 

 chickens, and in Any other variety of Game, Blacks and Piles took the 

 prizes. Hamburahs were good. Mr. Beldon obtained most of the 

 prizes with capital birds. Game Bantams were one of the best classes, 

 the competition being very keen between Messrs. Newsome and Cros- 

 land. The firBt-prize pen from the former contained a very fine- 

 shaped cockerel, deficient in colour ; while the pullet in Mr. Oros- 

 land's pen was perhaps one of the best wo ever saw. 



There was a fine show of Ducks, but many pens were ludifferentlj 

 matched. The following is the prize list : — 



Game (Any colour).-Cup, Sir St.G.Gore, Bart., Hopton Hall Wirksworth, 

 Derbyshire. Second, C. W. Brierley, Rhodes House, Middleton, Man-
