OAIillAM POULTRY AND PIGEON SHOW. 



This meeting, held on the 2-Uh and 25th of November, proved an 

 nnnsuaUy Buccossfnl one, not a single hitch of any kind occurring, and 

 the promptitude of action on the part of the Committee was itself per- 

 fection. The whole of the poultry, as well as the Pigeons, were con- 

 tained in an excellent tent '200 feet long by 40 feet wide, an abundance 

 of gas being laid on ; and every attention was paid to the feeding, Ac, 

 of the birds. 



Of Grey Dorkiiir/s the classes were exceedingly large, the silver cnp 

 for the best pen of this breed being awarded to a first-class pair of 

 hens belonging to Mr. George Clarke, of Long Sutton. The silver cup 

 for the best pen of a multiplicity of different breeds, to be entered 

 expressly for the prize, which was given by the Earl of Gainsborough, 

 was taken by a splendid pen of Brown Reds ia a most spirited compe- 

 tition, Mrs. Fludyer, of Ayston Hall, being the winner. There were 

 some very good Black Sjianisli shown, though the bulk of them were 

 scarcely in full plumage. The winners of the silver cup, it seems, 

 were entered in the catalogue at the low price of 30s., being quite a 

 novelty for good birds in these days. Coeldns were exceedingly good. 

 Mr. Taylor, of Manchester, was the principal winner. As regards 

 Game, the pens shown by Mr. Mathews, of Stowmarket, had almost 

 their own way. Mr. Jeffries, of Ipswich, was equally successful with 

 Game Bantams. Mrs. Seamons, of Aylesbury, took both the silver 

 cups for 6Vcic and Ducti with uncommonly good birds, and in heavy 

 classes. Uamburghs were in great force, and the cnp went to a pen of 

 Goldeu-spangled. A great variety of cross-bred fowls were shown in 

 the class devoted to them. The produce of Light Brahmas with Grey 

 Dorkings proved the best in all instances for table purposes. A cup 

 was also given in the Selling class, and the Partridge Cochins were 

 successful, the second prize going to Spanish. 



The PtQioiis consisted of large and excellent classes, but many of 

 the bsst pens, detained at Peterborough, arrived long after the awards 

 were completed— in fact, alter nightfall had set in. Many fowl.i, also, 

 were thrown out from being too late. 



The arrangements of the Oakham Committee were for Mr. Joseph 

 Hindson, of Liv and Mr. Hewitt, of Birmingham, to act as 



Judges ; but nnfortnnately at the lost moment a telegram announced 

 tho severe indisposition of Mr. Hindson, nnd conse'iueutly the whole 

 of the duty devolved on Mr. Edward Hewitt.
