with five pens of snch Aylesbury Duds as have rarely been seen to- 

 gether. Mrs. Seamons taking the first prize, Mr. Fowler the second, 

 and the other three pens being highly commended. For Gtcse Mr. 

 Fowler was first, and Mrs. Seamons second. There were many good 

 Ga77ic fowls, but the Game Bnntams were poor. 



Of Pigeons the entry, though small, was nnnsnally good, Mr, 

 Yardley, of Birmingham, being the snccessfnl competitor. The 

 weather was fine and dry, and everything turned out as successful as 

 could be desired. The number of ladies and children on the grounds 

 was beyond precedent.

IPSWICH POULTRY SHOW. 



Therk appears to be some peculiar difficnUy in conveying poultry 

 to Ipswicli in time for tlie Kxhibition, thii-ty pens of fowls being 

 empty at the hour appointed to commence jndging. From the inad- 

 vertance of one of the principal exhibitors of Game fowls, five pens 

 of the most meritorions birds had to be passed over, as the birds were 

 shown in pairs instead of as single cocks, and in pairs of hens. 



Most of the classes were very good. Game and Gtunf Bdittams par- 

 ticularly so. The DorJ:'iiffs were a very good collection, and the 

 •Sjmitish have been rarely excelled. The Brahmtis, whether Light or 

 Dark-coloored, were of high character. The Cochtn-Chinas, especi- 

 ally the Buff, were excellent, though many good Partridge-coloured 

 ones are here worthy of mention. French fowls showed a good entry, 

 and the Hauihur^ihs aud I'oJtinth, though not numerous, were praise- 

 worthy. The Aylesbury Dncks could not be bettered, Jlr?. Seamons 

 and ilr. Fowler dividing the premiums. No show could rank more 

 highly in Pi'jron.s, and reference to the prize list will show the amount 

 of competition. The weather being fine, the Show was a complete 

 success.

KETTERING POULTRY SHOW. 



The Show of this year has proved most successful, and far in advance 

 of its predecessor. Most of the classes were well fiUed, those for Game, 

 Sjmnish, and Uamhunilin especially so. Strange to say, only a smgle 

 pen of Brahmas was entered, but it was good. The Turkeys would 

 have been creditable to any show. Pigeons were numerous and excel- 

 lent. The display of Fureign birth, for which there were especial 

 classes, was one of the most striking features of the Show. Some ex 

 ceedingly well-shown Bishop birds, 'Weayer birds, and a variety of
