Dorchester and Portsmouth Shows. — Specimens exhibited 

 at Dorchester may be sent from there in time for the Portsmouth 



ABERDEEN POULTRY SHOW. 



The ninth annual Exhibition of the Northern Poultry Club 

 was held in the Drill Hall, Aberdeen, on 8th and 9th inst. 

 Entries were numerous, and the quality first-rate throughout. 



At this Show Dorkings alway.s head the prize list, and were 

 divided into four classes — viz., old and young Coloured, and old 

 and young Grey or White. In the old class Mr. Turnbull, Lar- 

 bert, won well with a well-matched pen of good quality. Young 

 birds of 1S7-4 were a large and good lot, Mr. Clark of Fochabers, 

 a veteran fancier of this breed, winning first and cup with birds 

 which stood high at the Crystal Palace. The other prizetakers 

 in this class were well deserving of their honours. Silver-Grey 

 Dorkings were well represented, the cup in this class going to a 

 large-sized and good pen belonging to Mr. W. Hendry ; second 

 were fair. First in young class were small, but good-coloured ; 

 second about the same in both respects ; the other noticed pens 

 were of average merit, Spanish, a small class, and this variety 

 does not seem to hold ground here. The principal prizes were 

 gained by Edinburgh birds (Mrs. Grassick). and easily outdis- 

 tanced the rest. Cochins were good. First, a fine pen of Mrs. 

 Hendii', Inverness. The other noticed pens were of great merit. 

 In youog birds Mr. Proctor, Durham, easily won. Brahmas 

 were numerous and good, the old beating the young. First and 

 cup gained by Alex. Burnett, Montrose ; 77 (J. Dempster) would 

 have won if not out of condition from overshowing. Soudans 

 were numerous and better in quality than usual ; 97 was nearly 

 suffrc ited from being packed in too small a hamper, and during 

 th^ first day was in a dying condition, otherwise he was best in 

 the clasn. Hamburghs were, as usual here, a good class. Game 

 be le ■ thm umal, the cup going to a grand pen of Mr. Mason's. 

 Ba7ifams were good. First, fiue Black Red ; second. Piles. 



Ducks w-re large ani good, and the same may be said of Geese 

 and Turkeys. 



The show of Pigeons was the great feature of the Exhibition, 

 and amongst them the Pouters stood out prominent; in fact it 

 was a Pouter show, there being 211 entries of them. "We are 

 sorry to say the decisions of the Judge in this department gave 

 anything but satisfaction, and our own ideas on the subject will 

 be seen from our notes. Pouter cocks, any age, began with 

 Blues, and here we could by no means endorse the Judge's de- 

 cision. The best bird was undoubtedly the third-prize, next 

 came pen 214 (Ure); third should have been 241, same owner, a 

 grand class. Black cocks were better judged — that is to say, 

 the prize birds as a whole were the best in the class, but the 

 second was far better than first in all respects. In Red cocks 

 first was a very nice bird, though standing a trifle wide in the 

 legs ; second a better colour but short in leg. The best pen in 

 the class was 260 (Lyell), though blind of an eye and solid- 

 shouldered ; third was a nice bird. Yellow cocks, the first in 

 this class also won the cup for the best bird in the standard 

 colour classes, but why we failed to see ; he was short in leg and 

 badly marked, and not to be compared with fully a dozen of the 

 Blues, Blacks, and Reds. Pen 271 (Tj re), was an easy first ; second 

 should have been third, and third second. "White cocks were 

 much better judged, and all good ; 278 (Fulton), might have been 

 third, but this was a small error, if any. Any other colour cocks 

 were a fine class, amongst them some of the finest birds in the 

 Show. Some grand MeaHes would have gladdened the heart of 

 Mr. Huie and of any true fancier. Pen 283, Mealy, should cer- 

 tainly have been first. Second a Splash, a fair bird. First a nice 

 Mealy. 283 (Pratt), should not have been shown in this class, 

 being merely a bad Black. Young Blue cocks were a magnifi- 

 cent class and contained some gi-and birds, but the judging very 

 wide of the mark indeed ; Pen 297 (Ure), was one of the best and 

 most stylish Pouters ever shown, to praise it would be painting 

 the lily. First a fair bird, but conld not look at the bird named. 

 Black cocks were a good class, but first was a great error in the 

 face of No. 307 (Lyell), a grand bird and with a pair of splendid 

 legslwell set on. 304 (the same owner), should have stood second, 

 The winner was bad coloured and badly marked, being almost 

 swallow- throated. Red cocks were a good class, but as a lot 

 wanting in depth of colour. The nicest bird in the class was 

 third, a most stylish Pouter, in fact we liked him almost better 

 than any bird in the Show. First was bad coloured; 319, com- 

 monded, was also a good bird, good style and nice clean limbs; 

 321 was the best coloured bird in the class. Yellow cocks, first 

 the best in style though small. 323 (Ridley), should have been 

 second, second third. White cocks, Mrs. Ladd's pen, 339, was 

 the nicest bird in this class, but unfortuuately its owner had for- 

 gotten to remove the home marks, and it along with all her 

 other birds {which were in a similar condition), was disqualified. 

 Blue hens, any age : 343, commended, was a fiue showy hen, but 

 best of all we liked No. 352 (Ure) unnoticed. 351, third, came 

 next, these were the pick of the lot. Black hens were perhaps
