WEST OF ENGLAND POULTRY SHOW. 



This Show, held on the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th of December, at 

 the Agricultural Hall, Plymouth, was in advance of any former Show, 

 all the Geime being especially good, the first-prize pen beating the 

 first-prize Black Reds at Meuheniot. The single cock first at Men- 

 heniot was again the winner here, and the owner was first last year 

 also. Dorhinigs were better than we have ever seen before in the west. 

 Hamharglis and BarUains were very good; in fact, all the classes, 

 with the exception of the Malay, or the so-called Indian, and the 

 cro96-hred class, were very good.

WEST HERTS (WATFORD) POULTEY SHOW. 



This has now been held for many years, in conjunction with a 

 fat stock show, about a fortnight before Christmas. It is always a 

 qood Show, and with some alterations might become a very large one. 

 iuaucemeuts are not wanting. Plate prizes were common, and a 

 .stand presided over by one of the employes of Messrs. Elkingtou was 

 suflSciently tempting to induce ovorj-ouo to become a subscriber. 

 Everything was there, cups, candelabra, candlesticks, ordinary articles 

 of domestic use, down to silver-mounted beer-horns, all for the good 

 service of the successful exhibitors— an anbarras dc richesses : nothing 

 being requu-ed in order to have a personal interest in the attractive 

 Show but to be pre-eminent in poultry. 



The Show was held in very large tents, the best found and best 

 managed we have ever seen, perfectly dry and comfortable, spite of 

 the drivin!» rain and wind, and having the great boon of a well-boarded 

 floor raised some inches above the gi-ass, and covered with shingle 

 and sawdust. The pens were in double tiers, but the bottom ones 

 were sufficiently high to enable their occupants to be seen plainly with- 

 out effort. There was also ample space to allow fuU and comfortable 

 cii'culatiou. . . ,, 



Vi'e have never seen better Dorh'ngs than those belonging to the 

 F,ev. E. Bartrum, of Berkhampstead, which deservedly took both 

 prizes for Dorkings. Mr. Horsfall's Grouse Cochins brought him a, 

 piece of plate and two prizes. With the exception of this colour, 

 Cochins do not seem to find favour in Hertfordshire. Brahma Pootras 

 are favourites everywhere, and excellent pens were the result. Mr. 

 Horsfall took the piece of plate, Mr. Barnes being second. The 

 Light Brahmas were verj' weak in evei? respect. There were some 

 good Golden-spangled and average Goldenpcncnied Tlamhurghs. These 

 classes want strengthening, but the restriction of the competition to 

 one county makes that a difficult process. There was an excellent 

 show of Game Bantams, Lord Chesbam taking the first prize, Mr. 

 Copeland the second. It is naturally exiected that Sebright Bantams 

 should he good in Hertfordshire, and they were worthy of their county. 

 Lord Ebury showed excellent l^imnish, and deservedly took the first 

 prize. Mr. P. Jones's Polands were of high merit. We have had 

 li'herto to do with chickens, but now we have a class of the highest 

 possible character, pens full of most excellent buds, of which we shall 

 speak hereafter. Diu'hs were strong in evei^ way, numbers, weight, 

 and quality. They left nothing to desire, and the cnp Aylesburys of 

 Lord Chesham deserved their accumulated honours. Beautiful Man- 

 darin and Carolina Ducks were shown. Nothing could be better than 

 the Gtcsc and Turkys ; they were very heavy, and in faultless condition. 

 We cannot avoid mention of some American Turkeys belonging to 

 Lord Kokeby and Mr. Barnes, better than any we have seen for a 

 long time. The Pirjcons were a long success for Mr. Parkin Jones. 



Dead poultry closed the exhibition — dead fowls. Ducks, Geese, 

 and Turkevs. "Three of these prizes went to Lord Chesham, one to 

 the Earl of Essex. The specimens were very good. 



This was one of those pleasant meetings where all are comparatively 

 neighbours, and known to each other, and where nil are directly in- 

 terested in the success and welldoing of the Show. It has the advan- 

 tage of making the Show a real promenade, but this pleasure is not 

 without its purchase. A limit is put to a show where it is confined to
