DRIFFIELD POULTRY SHOW. 



This, the second Show of the season, was held at Driffield on 

 July 31st, and as regards weather and attendance of visitors was 

 all that could be desired. The entries of poultry (219), were 

 better than previously, the only drawback being that in place of 

 uniform pens such as Turner's some very ugly skeps were used, 

 which took up much room and destroyed the effect of the whole. 

 We would strongly recommend the Committee to abandon these 

 for others of a more comfortable kind. 



Of Dorkings there were seven entries, but these were only 

 moderate in quality ; and of Spa>iishG.ve, the winners being good. 

 Of Ked Gayne there were seven entries, Messrs. Thornton and 

 Adams dividing the spoil with good birds. In the other variety 

 of Game Mr. Sale's Duckwings were to the front, winning easily ; 

 second also Duckwings, but the latter showed the effects of 

 overwork. Game chickens had ten entries, all of which were 

 worthy of prizes ; the first and second went to Brown Keds, 

 Pen 55, Duckwings, being also greatly admired. Cochins were 

 nothing grand if we except the first-prize Buffs ; the chickens 

 also being indifferent. Hamhurghs were very poor, doubtless 

 owing to the classes being mixed, and the prizes scarcely being 

 worth contending for. The Farmyard cross is a great feature 

 of this county, and many fine useful birds were shown. In 

 Game Bantams there was nothing of note; but the Black and 

 Japanese in the next class were pretty good. 



Tears ago this district was noted for its large Geese, and un- 

 like some other parts it still keeps up its prestige in that respect. 

 Turlieys and Ducks were of moderately good quality. 



Pigeons were shown in Turner's pens under a tent, and these 

 formed a great contrast with the display of poultry ; but we 

 certainly expected to have seen more entries for 20s. prizes. 

 Mr. Horner's seventeen entries did not come to hand, and the 

 pens were empty, which we regret. Carriers were poor, except 

 the first; Pouters the same. In Jacofims the first and second 

 were good; the first Fantails i&it birds. The Almonds in th.Q 

 next class were grand in head, beak, and eye ; the hen especially 

 a real gem, but the cock getting too dark ; second Red Agates, 

 also with wonderful head, beak, and eyes. Barbs were poor; 

 but Nuns good, as may be expected here. Turhits four pens, 

 and all good. The Selling class contained some good birds; 

 first were "White Dragoons ; and second White Pouters, which 

 were soon claimed. Two extra prizes were recommended by 

 the Judge, and allowed. 



Rabbits were shown in pairs, a system we cannot sufficiently 

 condemn, and we think this will not occur here again ; there 

 was, however, only one class in which a pair of good Black-and- 

 white Lops were first; second also Fawn Lops ; the third prize 

 going to Himalayans. Had the Rabbits been shown singly the 

 entries would have been much larger, as it is very difficult to 

 get a pair well-matched and good in all points, especially in the 

 Lop-eared variety.

WHITWICK POULTRY SHOW. 



The fourth annual Show took place on the 4th inst. Good 

 marquees were provided, and Turner's were used. The birds 

 were well attended to ; and the only thing we could take excep- 

 tion to was that the floors of the pens were covered with saw- 

 dust, a practice we cannot sufiiciently condemn, for many valu- 

 able birds have been lost through swallowing portions of this 

 indigestible rubbish. Unfortunately the fore part of the day was 

 very wet, and this prevented to a considerable extent the influx 

 of visitors.
