JERSEY POULTRY SHOW. 



(From a Correspondent.) 



Jersey, in the immediate vicinitv of the cradle of the French 

 breeds of ponltry— Xormundv. lias just held its second Show. The 

 entries for so small a place and the necessarily local competition, were ( 

 nnmerous, being 359. This success is mainly dne to the liberal prize j 

 Ij^t, and to the icdefatigable energy of the Secretary, Mr. E. Pond. 

 The prizes, on account of their small value, are no great temptation, 

 bnt by adopting the policy of offering prizes tor any breed which has 

 once been shown and commended by the Judges, the Committee insure 

 to every amateur in the island .1 fair opportunity of comparing the 

 merits of his particular pets with those of others of the same kind. 

 It IS puzzling to know how the judges at poultry shows, where all the 

 irench breeds. Andalusians. Minorcas, SilHes, Malays, Sec, have to 

 go into the " Any other variety " class, come to a right conclusion, for 

 not only can there be no comparison between a Malav and Crive- 

 Coenr, or a Minorca and a Houdan, bnt the French breeds cannot, 

 among themselves, bear the least comparison. How is it possible to 

 compare a Crive-Cfeur with a Breda or La Fkche, and a hope be insti- 

 fied that a fair award will bo attainable '? 



The Show was held in the Vegetable Market, which is a lofty, well- 

 ventilated stmctnre, 8(1 feet wide .and ISS feet long. Half this space 

 lengthwise was boarded off for the Show, and gaily decorated with 

 flags and evergreens. The pens were arranged in two single rows on 

 the two sides, with a double row. and a single row on the top, down the 

 middle. The Show in the evenings was well lighted with gas. The 

 pens were snpplied by Mr. Billet, of Southampton, and were all that 

 conld be desired, with the CTception of those for Dorkings and French 

 breeds, which were too small, and consequently showed the birds at a 

 disadvantage. 



The T>ur!:iii(i cUsses were poorly filled, but one or two of the 

 Coloured Dorkings were very tine. Cochins were well shown, espe 

 ciaUy the Bnil and Partridge. Brahmas were nnmerons and fine in 

 both Dart and Light, and deserved more cards of commendation than 



were awarded, many pens of the highest merit receiving no award. 

 The French breeds were well shown, the Black CrrTe-C<rnni, Hondons, 

 and La Fhche deserving ill they received. Black Bredas were not so 

 good. In the " Any other French variety " the first prize went t» Bine 

 Bredas. second to White Cr>"ve-Ca'ur, highly commended to Bine 

 Cr/ ve-Co-ur. Oufhic^ shown in this class conld not bear comparison 

 with their opponents, though a high commendation would bare done 

 no harm, as they wer..* perfect si)ecimons. .^'punigti were not shown to 

 advantage. An'Jnh,~;,i,is were badly shown, except the finrt-prize pen, 

 which was first-rate. Minorcn.'i wore good ; but here we come to the 

 cr^mc de la ccnic — viz.. the Game, liantaw^. aud Midmjx. Not a bird 

 in these classes but deserved notice, the Malays being especially fine, 

 both the Dark and White varieties. Ilamfnirijlis were good. Among 

 the Pofis/i were some good birds. 



Tiirliiya, Grr^r, and /)jicI:is were very fine in all the classes. Fancy 

 birds — (jold. Silver. Mexican and common Pheasants, Peacocks, Par- 

 tridges, Quails, and a collection of Parrots, contributed not a little to 

 the attractiveness of the Show. Ornamental Waterfowl comprised 

 Sebastopol Geese, Wi:;eon ; Wild. Carolina, and Buenos Ayrcs Docks. 



/'(■'/'•'. K-^ and li'ihhit^ were good but not nnmerous. 



At this small local Show not only were the most numerous entries 

 made by committeemen, bnt without them there would have been no 

 show, and it would be impossible to find a committee to manage the 

 Show without them, no one taking a sufficient interest. 1 mnst 

 mention here an act of disinterestedness on the part of the Secretary, 

 who is an ardent fancier, which I am far from thinking a necessity. 

 All his birds were exhibited not for competition. Whatever he may 

 have lost in prizes he more than gains in the good opinion of the other 

 exhibitors.
