ST. AUSTELL POULTRY SHOW. 



This very saccessful little one-day meefint^ was held in the 

 Market House on the 13th. There were close on four hundred 

 pens, and it seemed in every way a complete success. Mr. Hod- 

 son judged the whole of the Show, and his awards were most 

 favourably received. Turner's pens were used, and the birds 

 were well attended to, and the pens looked fresh and clean. 



There were seventeen pens of Dorkings, of which the greater 

 part were Coloured. The first-prize pen were good birds, but 

 not over-large. Wo liked the third-prize pen too ; they were 

 well-growu chickens. The Whites were not a grand lot. We 

 thought the Silver-Greys, which were third, worthy of second 

 place before the second Whites, which were small and weedy. 

 Cochins were peculiarly classified ; Buffs and Whites having one 

 class together, while Partridges had one to themselves. The 

 cup Buffs were, we believe, the cup pen at Dorchester. They 

 are large and fair in colour, but very coarse. The second prize 

 went to a well-shown pair of old Whites, the cock superb in 

 colour and of fine shape ; the hen wonderfally leg-feathered and 

 pure white, but a little narrow; still they were well second. 

 Third nice Buffs. 23.i (Wiuwood) a good Baff cook— hocked, 

 but honestly shown. 17 (Waterman) in good condition, but 

 cock looked naked about his hocks. In Partridges a nice pair of 

 Partridge chickens were first, fair old birds being second and 

 third. Brahmas made up eighteen entries only with two 

 classes. We cannot conceive why these classes have so fallen 

 off the last few weeks. Darks came first, and here we think 

 was one of the few mistakes Mr. Hodson made. The second pen 

 should have been undoubtedly first. In this pen we believe was 

 the cock first Plymouth, with a nice hen. The other pens were 

 fair. The Lights, though few in quantity, were good in quality : 

 the first being an especially nice pair. French consisted of 

 CrSvea and Hondans. The winning Houdans were good, the 



second and third large Crgves. Game had three classes, and 

 mustered well. The quality at Cornish shows is generally good. 

 The cup went to good Brown Rods. As in Cochins BufTs always 

 win, or generally, the cup ; so in Game, the plate usually seems 

 to go to Brown Reds. The Duckwings were good ; first un- 

 commonly so. Spanish brought a good class. We believe the 

 first went to a pen which was tinnoticed at Dorchester; it was a 

 good hen witli a fine cockerel. Second also good, and ditto 

 third ; both the latter hailing from Bristol. Altogether it was a 

 capital class. Polands were fair. White-crested Blacks of 

 good quality got in second between two nice pens of Silvers. 

 Hamhurghs had four classes. We' really believe if our shows 

 gave the Blacks a class, they would find they soon filled best of 

 all, or certainly next to the Golden-pencilled. Golden-spangles 

 were good, but the Hamburgh cup fell to beautiful Silver-spangles ; 

 still Mr. Barter's second-prize pen were admirable, and the third 

 good also. Gold-pencilled were a nice lot, and came out strong. 

 The first (Silvers) were beautiful ; the cock's tail quite lovely 

 and in nice condition. Malays and Indian Game came next. 

 We do not profess to say what the latter are, for we never re- 

 member to have seen a pen of the "genuine article." First 

 and third went to Malays ; the latter we liked the best in the 

 class by far, and the second to our would-be ludian friends. 

 They looked somehow manufactured. Several other good pens 

 of Malays were noticed. 174 (Elliott) we thought a capital pen. 

 The Variety class was large and good. Nice Black Hamburghs 

 won first, Minorcas second, and good Sultans third. 199a 

 (NichoUs), a good pair of Silkies. Game Bantams made a large 

 class, and the winners were well placed. In the next class the 

 cup went to nice Silver-laced ; second good Black Rose-combs ; 

 and third again to Laced. In Single cock class of any breed a 

 good White Cochin cockerel won first; he reminded us of the 

 bird which won second at the Palace very much indeed. Second 

 and third went to Brown Reds ; the third perhaps a shade the 

 best. There were four large Sale classes, two being for the 

 larger breeds and two for the smaller. There were some fair 

 birds, but nothing out of the way good. Rouen Ducks were 

 good, the winning pen good in colour and large ; the second 

 also nice birds. Aylesburys were few but good in quality; and 

 Geese and Turkeys quite fair specimens for a local show. 



There were not many Pigeon^^. Carriers were as good a class 

 as any. Antwerps came out strong, and there were many nice 

 birds among them. Dragoons only fair. Fantails and Tum- 

 blers good ; aud a capital Variety class finished this division, 

 in which good Trumpeters were fiist and fair Owls second. We 

 give awards below.
