MB. LINGWOOD'S DORKING COCKEREL AT 



THE OXFORD SHOW. 



Thk Dorking cockerel exhibited by Mr. Lingwood was dis- 

 qpalified by the Judges on the ground that ho was au adult 

 bird. That there was ground for such an opinion is shown by 

 our reporters sanctioning it. That they were all mistaken we 

 have the assurance of Mr. Lingwood himself, and he adds that 

 he can produce six respectable witnesses who had seen the 

 Dorkings in their early stages. Mr. Lingwood states that the 

 birds were hatched on the 23rd of February, and we can readily 

 understand how birds hatched thus early, and having thriven, 

 would appear adults when eight months old. 



TRIMMED HAMBURGHS AT THE OXFORD 



SHOW. 

 Mk. Long's letter written to Mr. Hewitt, published in last 

 ■week's Journal, I strongly contradict. Never was a more pro- 

 found falsehood written respecting the trimming of his bird. 

 I think it would have been far more prudent on the part of Mr. 

 Long to ascertain the truth of the matter before writing such a 

 letter to anyone; and I hope he will withdraw his statement. 

 I have sufficient proof of the bird, if it is required, being placed 

 in the hamper with the white on him when he was sent to 

 Middleton Show, by parties who know the bird equally as well 

 as myself. — Thomas May.

BURTON-ON-TRENT POULTRY AND BIRD 

 SHOW. 



The sixth annual Exhibition of poultry, Canaries, and other 

 cage birds was held in St. George's Hall, Burton-on-Trent, on 

 Friday and Saturday, November 20th and 2l8t. There was a 

 very good show of poultry, many fine pens of birds representing 

 the various classes. The cage birds were exhibited in two 

 divisions— viz., " birds hatched in 1874 " and " birds of all ages," 

 and in each division there were many fine specimens shown. 

 The latter classes contained several very high-coloured pepper- 

 fed bijds, exhibited by Mr. T. C. Salt, Barton. The Exhibition 

 was held under most distinguished patronage, and was ably 

 carried out under the auspices of a good Committee of manage- 

 ment. The number of entries in the poultry classes reached 

 ICi, and iu the Canary classes 163, forming altogether a suffi- 



ciently attractive display. St. George's Hall is a well-adapted 

 place, far better than the Town Hall, where several of the 

 previousBurton Shows have taken place. The Canaries occupied 

 the centre of the spacious Hall, the long stages for the birds 

 being flanked on each side and along the bottom by double rows 

 of pens (Turner's) for the poultry. The Committee were some- 

 what disappointed and grieved to hear of the indisposition of 

 Mr. Hewitt, who was appointed one of the poultry Judges, but 

 they obtained the kind and valuable services of W. J. Drewry, 

 Esq., Burton, who ofiiciated in his place. We believe the Show 

 was well patronised. Mr. T. Newbold, Secretary, discharged 

 his duties iu a satisfactory manner. The following is a list of 

 the awards :^

The South of ENGL.iND and Isle of Wight Association have 

 a show of Poultry, Pigeons, Rabbits, and Cage Birds at Ports- 

 mouth on the 8th, 9th, and 10th of December. The prizes are 

 liberal ; but to put all the varieties of Polands into one class 

 and all the French varieties into another are great mistakes. No 

 judge can give awards satisfactorily to such mixtures.
