ALDBOROUGH AND BOROUGHBRIDGE 



POULTRY SHOW. 



The fourteenth Exhibition was held on the 7th inst. in a field 

 near the town capitally suited for the purpose. The day was 

 fine, and the attendance very numerous. The number of entries 

 was more than double that of any previous Show, caused, no 

 doubt, by the very beautiful extra prizes given in the shape of 

 teapots, cups, &c. The quality of the poultry and Pigeons was 

 very creditable, and many first-class specimens were shown. 

 The number of entries in poultry was 150 ; of Pigeons, 122 ; and 

 of Rabbits, 10.

BISHOP AUCKLAND POULTRY SHOW. 



The pens were arranged in double rows stretching from north 

 to east in the most prominent part of the cricket field in which 

 the Show was held, and the wind proving fresh, and the pens 

 (which were Fothergill's, of Sunderland), having by some acci- 

 dent been left unfastened, a number were blown over, and the 

 occupants let loose. These were only secured and repenned 

 after considerable trouble. Most of the varieties were divided 

 into classes for adult and young birds, and though the season 

 is well advanced the old section was well filled, numbering 

 155 pens, with 173 chickens. The adult Dorkings were good for 

 the time of year; the Cochins grand, every pen being noticed. 

 The medal for several classes went to a splendid pair of Buffs. 

 Brahmas were not good as a class ; but in Spanish there were 

 some good birds, although the best were sadly out of feather. 

 Red Game proved good, the first-prize cock a most excellent 

 bird in hand, but the hen was rather grey in body ; the second 

 were fully better in colour, but not so good in hand, many of 

 the pens, mostly Brown Reds, coming in for high commenda- 

 tions. In other colours Daokwings were first, and PUes second. 

 Samburghs were but poor. If we except the prize-winners 

 and one or two pens, the Gold-spangled proved best as a class ; 

 while the winners in Silver-pencilled were of fair quahty. The 

 first in the Spangles were very good, while the cock in the very- 

 highly-commended pen was the best in the class, but badly 

 matched. Folcmda were very good, the medal in this section 

 being awarded to a nice pen of Goldens, which were, however, 

 closely pressed by good Silvers. 



In Black Red Bantams were some stylish birds, but many 

 were scarcely fit for the show pens, owing to want of feather and 

 condition. The first prize for Any other variety of Game was 

 won by Piles and Duckwings respectively; ihe first in fair 

 order, and the second out of feather, but very stylish. Rose- 

 combed Blacks won in the following class. 



The winning Rouen Ducks were very large and good in beak, 

 especially the first. Aylesbury were failing in feather, but large 

 and of good quality. The Variety class was interesting, every 

 pen being noticed. The first were Widgeons, second Black, and 

 all the rest White Decoys, very small and neat in form. 



In the Variety class capital Cruve-Cceurs were first, and 

 Houdans second. Single cocks were a really good collection ; 

 the first a grand La FJeche, the second a Bufi Cochin. Pairs of 

 hens were also well shown, and in this case La FR'che were 

 again first, and Black Red Game second, the La Fleche cock 

 taking the medal also. 



Many of the young birds were forward and well shown, this 

 being the case especially in the Cochins, where the first of the 

 medals for young was awarded ; the Dorkings were also very 

 promising birds. Brahmas were not forward, if we except the 

 first-prize Dark chickens, which pen contained a well-marked 

 pullet; the second being Light birds, but though large they 

 were rather raw. Spanish were moderately good, but Game only 

 poor in the Red class, except about three pens, two of which were 

 Brown Reds. In the Other variety class a grand pair of Yellow- 

 legged Piles stood first, good Duckwings second. In Ham- 

 burghs there were not many good pens, with the exception of 

 the winners ; but in the Pencilled, both Gold and Silver, these 

 were very good. The winning Folands would have looked quite 

 as well with the fostering care of the old hen. In Red Game 

 Bantams the first were in full feather and very stylish Black 

 Reds, the second of that kind also being good. In the class for 

 Any other variety the first prize and medal went to a pair of 

 superb PQes, although young. In the next class Silver Sebrights 

 were first, and Blacks second. Turkeijs and Geese were good, 

 but young, though they were very promising as regards size, 

 lu Ducklings first were a grand pair of Aylesburys, and second 

 Rouens, two other pens of that variety being very highly 

 commended. In the Variety class the first were Dark Red 

 Malays, and the second Houdans. The two Selling classes con- 

 tained fifty-four entries ; there were many cheap lots, and 

 several extra prizes were awarded in both classes. 



Pigeons. — Carriers stood first, and were single birds, the 

 quality being only moderate. The first prize went to a neat - 

 Black hen, the second to a young Blue cock. Pouters were good, 

 but there were only five entries, the first being a really good 

 White, and second Black Pied, both coming up well in measure-
