.U3ERDEEN POULTRY SHOW. 



{From a Con-espontlent.) 

 This Show in point of entries was an immense success, notwith- 

 standing that at iianchester being held almost on the same day. Old 

 and 3'oung >''jKini'ih were a large Show. The hens attracted nniversal 

 notice, especially those in the pens of Messrs. Draper. Ridpath, Wal- 

 lace, and Cross." Dolinits, Silver-Grcy, were a magniliceut lot, the 

 silver cap going to a very fine and weighty pen belonging to ilr. Gordon, 

 of Mauar ; they were hard pressed for the cup by a splendid pen 

 belonging to Mr. Curror. The pens belonging to Mr. Iviug. Mr. Wil- 

 son, the Hon. Mrs. Arbnthnot (late Mrs. Fergusson Blair), were all 

 fii*st-rate. Dark Grey Dorkings, both old and young, made a capital 

 show, every pen exhibiting great weight. The Hon. Mrs. Arbnthnot 

 obtained a cup Tivith a pen of birds of immense size. Bnff and Cin- 

 namon Covhiiift were a magnificent class, perhaps with the exception 

 of Game and Bantams the best. The cup for old Cochins was won by 

 a pen of large and perfc-tly coloured birds belonging to 3tr. Heudrie, 

 of Aberdeen. Messrs. Jvnowlcs, Bov.en. and Greenwood pressed the 

 winners very hard. We did not like the decisions in the young class ; 

 but the adult class were very fine birds, ten out of thirteen pens being 

 noticed. Partridge and White were a fine show. Mr. Tutlman was 

 fii-st, taking the silver cup for old, and the first prize for young, with 

 birds which attracted general admiration. A splendid pen of \\Tiite3 

 belonging to Mr. Yardley took the second prize ; these were the finest 

 Whites ever seen in Aberdeen. Hitherto the judging was good ; bnt 

 now we come to the iinmr^ where it was, to say tbe least, strarge. A 

 magnificent pen of Brown Reds belonging to Mr. Wood, of Wigan, 

 was commended, while the first prize was awarded to a fair nen 

 belonging to Mr. Anderson. The young class was rather better ; bnt 

 here, as in the adnlt class, Mr. Wood ought to have been first and Mr. 

 Anderson second and third. In Single Game cocks it was that the 

 Judge completely outdid hipisclf. The judgment was worthy of Bir- 

 mingham. The cup was awarded to an extremely commonplace bird, 

 whilst we think Messrs. Dyas, Burgess, and Gamon ought to have 

 been in a different position. The cnp was won by a very splendid 

 Brown Red, the property of Mr. Grirashaw, being hardly pressed by 

 Messrs. Burgess, Gamaii, Dyas, and Billing. In lirahimis Messrs. 

 Boyle and Lacy strugglcil hard for the cnp, which was, after long con-
