DORKING POULTRY SHOW. 



This was held at the Public Hall, Dorking, December 10th. 

 This Show used to be the Dorkiug fanciers' Derby, aud a prize 

 here was formerly considered as great an honour as a cup else- 

 where. For the last two or three years, however, the Show has 

 gone down a good deal in public favour owing to the Committee 

 requiring that a cock and two hena should be sent in each pen, 

 but the judicious alteration of this rule bids fair to bring this 

 good old Show again into notice. Only the first four classes 

 are open to general competition, but among the birda exhibited 

 in these classes were to be found most of the celebrated winners 

 of the day, and the competition this year was very keen. Mr. 

 Leno again officiated as Judge, and it is evident from the favour- 

 able way in which his awards were received, that his knowledge 

 of poultry extends beyond his favourite Sebright Bantams. The 

 awards given below will speak for themselves.

 acted as one of the Judges at the Ftikenham Show for the pa^t 

 two years, that the Show Hall at Fakenham is well suited in 

 every respect for an exhibition, as it stands on an open plain, 

 is well lightod from the sides aud roof, and is well ventilated,
