MIDDLESBROUGH POULTRY SHOW. 



Tm; Meeting of the Cleveland Agricultural Society was this year 

 held at Middlcsbronyb, and the Exhibition was excellent. The poiiltry 

 were placed under two large tents, and the entries were much more 

 numerons than in any previous year. The first-prize adult Syanifh 

 were a neat pen, and the winninc; Ihrhiut/s were the same. Of 

 BraJtmas there was a good entry, and the competition was close. Of 

 Game, the Brst-prize Reds were fine, firm-handling birds ; so were the 

 winning single cocks. The winning Jlamfmrffh.^ were almost perfect, 

 and an excellent pen of Hondans was first in the " Variety " class. 



The Avleshury Duel:^ were wonderful for a show so far north, and 

 the Rouens were also quite as noteworthy for both size, colonr, and 

 marking of beak. 



The Geese, however, were the leading feature of the Exhibition. 

 The While Embden in the adnlt class were extremely difficult to 

 judge, so large was the number, and so close the competition. The 

 first-prixo Toulouse goslings were almost as large as adnlt birds, and 

 an extra first pri?e was awarded to an equally tine pen of White. 



The Turhetfn were large, but the young birds shown were almost al] 

 cocks. The Himalayan lUOMts were very pretty.

RABBITS AND THEIR JUDGES. 

 I WAS much pleased with the remark of " Hijialavan," id 

 page 197, for there is no class of exhibitors who are subject to 

 to mncb annojance, and who have so much right to complain 

 of the conduct of committees with respect to judges as the 

 Rabbit-fanciers. Having had more experience in these matters 

 than most exhibitois, and being now out of the fancy, thoD^
