HOLMFIRTH POULTRY SHOW. 



Twenty years ago the district of Holmfirth provided more of 

 the Birmingham winners ia Gold and Silver-spangled Ham- 

 bnrghs, Polands, &c., than any other part of the country; but 

 since then times have altered, some of the old fanciers being 

 dead, though we were happy to meet some of the old hands at 

 their annual competition, when the familiar names of Carter, 

 Broadhead, Moody, Bamford, Battye, Haigh, Hepper, and Cald- 

 well, and the doings of other days, were discussed over an entry 

 of about 2.)0 in all classes. Holmfirth is not one of the most 

 accessible of places, but if the Committee would venture upon 

 a really good schedule there is little doubt that theirs would 

 become one of the most popular of shows, and again stir-up the 

 latent and high-bred tastes of the inhabitants of the district. 



As may be expected, the large varieties of poultry were not 

 of high merit, if we except the cup pen of S^mnish. Silver- 

 spangled Hatnburghs, as well as the Goldens, both adult and 

 young, were good, the young of the latter variety being very 

 good. Game were of fair quality, and the Game Bantams were 

 also very good. 



Pigeons were not numerous, but some were very good; and 

 it is here was the most original type of Pigeons, shown under 

 the name of Common Dovecote. 



Rabbits. — The Belgian Hare in the mixed class was not good 

 in fur, but size and shape were correct. The second was Angora, 

 but the Lops were poor. 



Cats. — The great feature of the Show was, however, the Cats, 

 which had but oue class, in which there were thirty-one entries ; 

 but double prizes were allowed. The first award was made to 

 a Silver-Grey Tabby, the second to a Tortoiseshell-and-white, 

 of which there were not less than twenty, and mostly good, and 

 the third to a Red Tabby. The rest of the awards went, first to 

 a Tortoiseshell-and-white, second to an Angora, and third to a 

 Tortoiseshell-and-white.
