LONG SUTTON POULTRY SHOW. 



(From a Corresjxmdent .) 



The second annual Exhibition of this nourishing Association was 

 held on Wednesday last, when, owing to the liberal prize list, the 

 birds of all the greatest exhibitors were brought into competition. The 

 Show was held in a large marquee close to the railway station. The 

 Committee had engaged Turner's excellent pens, but owing to some 

 shameful neglect on the part of the railway company the pens did not 

 arrive, and at the last moment the Committee found themselves 

 obliged to erect the best pens they could. Every one worked with a 

 will, and in one day upwards of three hundred pens were put up, and 

 the Show opened at the appointed hour. 



As before stated, the prize list was most liberal, no less than eight 

 cups being offered for competition. Dorkings stood first, Mr. Clarke 

 winning with an excellent pen containing two hens that will be hard 

 to beat at any show. The cup went to capital chickens belonging to 

 Mrs. Bailey, of Shooter's Hill. In Cochins Captain Heaton carried all 

 before him, winning first in both classes, and also the cup for the best 

 pen. The Captain's birds were in wonderful feather and condition 

 for the season. There was a large entry of Game, but many of the 

 best birds, including those of Sir St. George Gore, arrived too late for 

 competition. Mr. Smith, of Grantham, won the cup, but we also 

 noticed a beautiful pen of Black Red chickens belonging to Mr. Beldon 

 closely contesting that honour. The cup for Game Bantams went to 

 a nice pen from Manchester, exhibited by Mr. Charlesworth. Mr. 

 Beldon won the cup for Spanish with remarkably good birds, beating 

 Mr. Rodbard, who was second. In Hamburghs Mr. Beldon had his 

 usual success, winning three prizes out of the four. In Brahmas Mr. 

 Boyle's chickens well deserved their honours, though hard pressed by 

 Mr. Pickles. In the Any other variety class Colonel Stuart Wortley 

 was first with Creve Cceurs, the National Poultry Company being 

 second with Houdans. 



^ The collection of Pit/cons was one of the best we have seen for some 

 time. In Carriers well-known Manchester birds stood first, the for- 

 tunate owner now being Mr. Crossley, of Halifax, who also won with 

 Powters and Black Owls, the latter being perhaps the best birds of 

 their class that have been ont for some time. "We were much struck 

 "with Mr. Horner's Carriers, which, as a pen, are perhaps more 

 perfect than the winners, the cock in the first-prize pen being very in- 

 ferior to the hen. Mr. Thackray, of York, sent some excellent birds, 

 particularly Barbs, but they arrived too late for competition. In 

 Jacobins Mr. Homer was first with his splendid birds, Mr. Beldon 

 pressing him closely. 



A more indefatigable Secretary or Committee conld not be found, 

 and the greatest attention was paid to the birds entrusted to their care.

PETERBOROUGH POULTRY SHOAV. 



Tins Exhibition formed pail of the annual meeting of the Peter- 

 borough Agricultural Society held on Wednesday, the 10th inst. 

 Placed as it unfortunately was, with the Long Sutton Show on the 

 same day, and the Leicester Show on the one previous, it could hardly 

 be supposed that this Exhibition wonld not suffer. The result proved 

 that a very limited entry was secured ; and again, from the extremely 

 protracted moulting time this season, the number of pens that had 

 been daly entered and could not be sent was greater than usual : con- 

 sequently the Show was one of the most limited we have met with for 

 a long time past. This is the more to be regretted, as the Committee 

 had made every preparation for the comfort of the birds confided to 

 them. An excellent and roomy tent was provided, and the pens were 

 large and commodious. As the weather luckily proved settled and 

 fine, there was not, however, any lack of visitors, and the poultry tei;t 

 proved one of the most interesting portions of the Show ground. 



The Grey Dorkings were the best classes in the Exhibition, and here 

 Mr. Longland exhibited some remarkably fine specimens. Aniong the 

 Dorkings were also shown some Silver-Greys of excellent quality. The 

 Game classes were, with the exception of one or two pens, a failure ;
