BURTON-ON-TRENT POULTRY SHOW. 



Few shows of poultry have been so well eupportecl as that which 

 took place at Burton-on-Trent on the 23rd inst. Held in a locality 

 easily accessible to a dense population, and having the assistance of 

 many local poultry-keepers, success was almost a certainty, and but 

 for a few flitting showers, all went on as pleasantly as possible. Some 

 birds amonq the Oame, though moulting, were especially noticeable, : 

 and the show of Dorl-ings was unusually good, (.^ockins might have 

 been shown in higher condition, but the Brahmas, both Light and Dark- 

 feathered, were excellent, llmnbiirghs were so well represented, that 

 it was worth making a long journey to see them. The single cock 

 class was a signal failure. The Tarhajs, the (jccsc, and the classes 

 for domesticated -Duels, were really admirable ; and in the extra 

 class were some very creditable specimens of Sebright Hantanis^ which 

 obtained extra prizes. The teut was exceedingly commodioas, and 

 the general arrangements first-rate.

HIPPERHOLME POULTRY SHOW. 



Tins Show wfl^ held September 18th. The number of entries vm 

 not large, bnt any defieieucy in this redpect was fully cora|>ensatcd for 

 by the quality of the birds. There was a large entry of Oainc, and 

 the competition was ver}' close, many tirst-class birds only receiving 

 commendations. The entry of Coduns and Si>anUh was small, bnt 

 the winning pens were good. The Ilamhur'jh class was saperior ; th6 

 first-prize pen of Silver-spangled was excellent. Of G<unc JiatUana 

 there was a large and fair cla«s. The " Any variety " class was com- 

 posed of Blark Hamburghs and Polands, all good birds ; the first prize 

 being awarded to an extra pen of Black Hamburgh chickens. Iloaen 

 J)ucl:s are increasing in numbers and quality, and ought to have prizes 

 awarded them, independently of the '* Any variety " class. It would b© 

 much better when shows are held so late as September, if only chickena 

 were allowed to compete, as adult fowls are generally in the moult, and 

 not fit for exhibition.

MARCH POULTRY SHOW. 



The Show at March was admirably condncted. and for the first 

 time it was held on two consecutive days — viz., September 2*2nd and 

 23rd. Every accommodation was secured lor the birds, whether fowls 

 or Pigeons, and Mr. Bellott's well-known exhibition pens showed all 

 to the fullest advantage, a largo tent affording ample protection from 

 the weather. Grey Dorhimjs were a fair class, huL the class for any 

 other variety of Dorkings was as bad as it well could be ; the Grej 

 Dorking chickens were excellent. The (iamr for tho most part were 

 not in full plumage. Many pens of Ilttnihnrgh.^ were shown that 

 would bo most creditable to auy show, and there were also some 

 decidedly good liraJtrnfia. l^trkeya aud (nfse were good, but the chief 

 feature of the show-t«nt was the collection of I'iiiemis. No doubt the 

 success of this division of tke Show this year will only be a prelade to 

 its extension on fatoie occasions. The attendance was espociaUy 

 good.
