flocality. In Red Game cockerels there were some good birds, 

 eapecially that which was awarded, the cup, the pulleta also 

 beiDfi good. In the nest class for cockerels a Duckwiug was first, 

 aud Pile second; but the best Pile in the class was left out, 

 Duckwings winning all the prizes in the following class. Cochui 

 cockerels and pullets were very good, the birds forward and well 

 shown ; the cup for this section going to Mr. Ansdell's grand 

 pair of Dark Brahmas. The winners in fi^/ja«/.s/i were good for- 

 ward birds. The Dorkings^ to which the cup was given, were 

 iar^'e, but the cockerel's legs were not good. Polands were good 

 and forward; the first and second Gold, aud third Silver. The 

 Majnburghs were a grand display, the cup for the best pen 

 .going to a sweet pair of Silver-spangles. In Blacks Mr. Sedg- 

 wick was first with a well-known pair of birds, the rest bein^ a 

 fair lot. In the Selling class Dark Brahmas were first, and 

 Spanish second. In Bantajns, Game, Mr. Entwisle's grand 

 Brown Red cockerel's time had evidently come, as he won the 

 cup in a very severe competition; second a good Pile. Gold 

 Sebright won first in the Variety class for Bautams, and Blacks 

 second. 



Pigeons. — The entries for these were not so large as usual, but 

 the quality was good throughout. Of Carriers there were but 

 eight entries for both classes, aud in Pouters only ten in the two 

 classes, the cup going to a grand Blue hen against some very 

 good cocks. In Almonds Mr. Yardley was beaten, but we 

 thought that gentleman had not sent his crack pair. In the class 

 for Short-faces the winners were both Mottles. In English 

 Owls the winners were both Blue, but we thought the first 

 rather thin in face. In Jacobins a good Red was awarded the 

 cup, the second also a good Red, and in the following class some 

 splendid Whites won the* prizes. There were not suthcient 

 pens, aud some birds had to be judged in pens where other birds 

 were. The awards were not completed till within twenty 

 minutes of the close of the Show, and we found it impossible to 

 get further particulars after the crowd was admitted into the 

 tent.

GREEN HAMMERTON POULTRY SHOW. 



The twenty-eighth Exhibition of this Society was held, ia 

 connection with a horbicaltural show, on August 25th. _ The 

 pens numbered 135, there being a slight increase of entries in 

 both poultry and i?igeons. Some of the classes were well 

 represented, more especially Dorkings, Game, Brahmas, and 

 Game Bantams, and there were a few good birds in most of the 

 classes. A capital pen of Brown Red Game chickens secured 

 the extra prize for the best pen in the Show. There were some 

 good Pigeons in all the classes.

COTTINGHAM POULTRY SHOW. 



The annual poultry, Pigeon, and Rabbit Show and Floral Fete 

 of this most beautiful village was held in the grounds of Mrs, 

 Gee, kindly lent for the purpose. It would be difficult to find a 

 more picturesque and excellent site, for the large and amply- 

 furnished horse chestnut trees afford a welcome shade from the 

 hot Bun, and add to the beauty of the scene. No tent was pro- 

 vided for the poultry section, although most spacious ones were 

 erected for the floral department, and we would direct the atten- 

 tion of the Committee to this want, and also to the need of dis- 

 pensing with the ugly wicker skeps in which the poultry were 

 penned. They are most awkward for the birds, make these diffi- 

 cult to see, and are altogether unsightly. They would no doubt 

 sell for various purposes, and save the cost of rental for the 

 time between one show and another. The Committee deserve 

 the highest commendation for the manner in which they attended 

 to the birds placed in their hands. 



Spanish were first on the list ; the first-prize pair very grand 

 in all points, the second also good. Cochins were very good, but 

 Dorkings poor. In Game a fair pair of Brown Reds were first, 

 but the rest were of little merit, the only bird in single cocks at 

 all worthy of notice being a really good Brown Red. The Variety 

 class contained a very good pair of Duckwings ; the second-prize 

 cock was good, but broken in feather. If we except the winners 

 in Hamburghs there was not one pen worthy of notice, but the 

 winners were mostly well-known birds. Brahmas were bad, 

 but Bantams pretty good throughout, the winners in Game 

 being Black Red chickens of great promise, a capital cockerel 

 also winning in single cocks. In the Variety class of Bantama 

 , was a grand pen of Silver Sebrights, which we unhesitatingly
