HALIFAX POULTRY SHOW. 



The first annual winter show of Poulti-y, Pigeons, K'^b^t", and 

 Canaries was held in the Temperance Hall, Hall ax, on tt<= f 'd- "^^ ' 

 In number of entries the Show was more successful th.an ^J'^^^^'^ 

 pated, seeing that the show of the Poultry CUh was ^eU ''t t^e same 

 ime. The classes for Gm,ie Fowl contained some exceUent b"'i=. ^e 

 first prizes in each case being given to Brown Reds and the second to 

 Blacl Reds. The Spangled a,mlmn,hs were poor, but the Pencdled 

 were "ood It was a great mistake of the Committee to class &old and 

 Sn. ei- tog;ther, as otherwise a large entry would have rewarded theu; 

 endeavours. The winning pens in .SpaiuA were very good, bnt the 

 ?est were not worth noticer In 0.n.eB.,nta,n, «'«.™°";^;-^« ^"* 

 wings and Keds respectively ; and m other varieties of Bantams, 

 Blacks and Golden-laced. Good Brahmas. Dorkmgs, and Black Ham- 

 burghs gi-aced the Variety class. P!'J<^ons had but one dass, which 

 was weU supported with good specimens of Carriers, Powters, Di'agons 

 Tumblers, &c. : whUe SMits had four classes and but few entries ; 

 but some excellent Himalayas were exhibited. 



The room was not well suited to the pui-posos of a poultry show, and 

 in some parts the birds could scarcely be seen.
