BRIDGEND POULTRY SHOW. 



The Show of the Glamorganshire Agricultural Society, which 

 is one of the oldest in the kingdom, was held at Bridgend ou 

 the 5Lh and 6th iust. In poultry the Society had not previously 

 ventured so far as to provide pens for the exhibition of the 

 specimens sent, but this year the management fell into the 

 hands of Mr. Leyshon, and on a proper representation of the 

 advisability of providing pens being made, this spirited gentle- 

 man at once consented to arrange the matter, and the result 

 was that Mr. Billett'a pens and a large marquee were secured, 

 while the whole was arranged with great skill, and everything 

 carried out with the utmost precision. 



The Dorkings were good, but not well matched in point of 

 colour, but in form and size the three pens of winners were 

 good. The chickens were fair. Light Bralnnis in the adult 

 class were unusually good, but the chickens were not very for- 

 ward, though the winners showed excellent points. Adult Dark 

 Brahmas were miserable, but there were some good chickens, 

 especially the first-prize cockerel and second-prize pallet. Game 

 were mostly shakey in feather, as may be expected at this time 

 of the year. The first in Reds was a stylish Brown Red, the 

 second a good Black Red, bat he had lost one spur. Chickens 

 were very young — too young, in fact, for work, but the first in 

 Reds (a pen of Brown Reds) were very good and stylish, the 

 second, Black Reds, being only poor. Adult Spanish were not 

 good, but the first-prize pen of young were tolerably good. 

 Cochins'WQXQ the class of the Show, the winners Bali's. The 

 first two, though not the largest, were in symmetry aud colour 

 far a-head. In chickens a well-grown pair of Whites were first ; 

 Partridge, needing little but age, second ; very good Blacks, as 

 the Blacks go, third. In Golden Hamburgh^ the first were very 

 well spangled, the second Pencilled, both being adult birds. In 

 Silvers, first came a well-known champion Pencilled cock and a 

 good pullet, while the second pen contained a Spangled cockerel 

 of rare excellence, but the pullet was rather light in marking. 

 Of Polands the first were very good Silvers, second White- 

 crested Blacks, and third Goldens. There was a class for Slack 

 Samhurghs, and in this a very good pair of adults were first, 

 though out of feather. Some of the youug birds were wrong 

 in comb. French were a very good class ; a pen of Creve- 

 Cojurs in fine bloom first, Crcve-Coeurs being also second, and 

 Houdans third. Four other pens were noticed. 



In Game Bantams the first were good old Piles ; second and 

 third Black Reds, very good in style, but the second-prize cock 

 was a little rusty on the bars ; the third-prize pullet only low in 

 condition. The winning Bantams of Any other variety were 

 all Black, and very good, a pair of White-booted being highly 

 commended. In Any other distinct breed the first and second 

 were nice Saltans, and the third White Dorkings. 



Aylesbury Ducks were none of the largest, but in point of 



quaUty not easily surpassed. The Rouena, on the contrary, 

 were large and mostly good in points. The first and third prizes 

 went to adults, and the second to young birds of great promise. 

 In the next class of Ducks the first were White Decoy, and 

 second Muscovy. There was nothing striking in Geese and 

 Turkegs; in fact, not anything approaching what we find at 

 the winter shows of this locality. 



There were two Selling classes, of which one was for fowls 

 and the other for Dacks, but from these we could not see very 

 much desire to part with much good poultry.
