we thoaglit we rather liked the second pen the best, but they 

 were in a bad position for light. Auy other variety Bantams, a 

 moderate pair of Blacks were first; a pair of White-booted 

 Bantams, not in the best condition, second ; and a pair of Silver- 

 laced, of rather faded colour, third. 



Ducks, Aylesbury, one entry; and first prize justly withheld. 

 Rouen contained a couple of fine pens ; in the Any other variety 

 some good Blacks were to be found, Mr. Kellaway winning 

 easily. 



In the Selling clasHea a few good bargains could be obtained. 

 A pair of White Cochin heus second, shown very dirty and in 

 poor condition, were eagerly sought after ; two or three pens of 

 Dorkings were also well worth the attention of purchasers.^ 



Pheasants were a magnificent lot, we rarely see so fine a 

 collection. 



The Pigeon classes were all well supported. The Carrier 

 classes surprised us. Single cocks : the competition was very 

 close between the first, second, and very highly commended 

 pens. They were very equal. The first was a little the best in 

 beak and colour; the second had a trifle the advantage in eye. 

 The very highly commended was the best in style, and equal in 

 other points except colour. The Judge bad a very nice task to 

 make his selection, and we quite agree with bia awards. The 

 hens were nearly all good, but the Judge did not have the 

 flame trouble in making his choice. The young class did not 

 please ns bo much. The winner had some good points, but he 

 was a little down in face ; we did not like his beak, but we 

 thought him the best. Pouters obtained only six entries — two 

 fine pairs of Whites were first and second, and a pair of Reds 

 third. 



In Barbs Mr. Maynard won an easy first; and second, a pen 

 of Whites, very highly commended (307), well deserved the 

 notice for the splendid condition in which they were shown. 

 Dragoons, a grand pair of Blues, sound in colour and good in 

 style were first. Whites second ; but here we think we pre- 

 ferred a pen of Mr. Graham's, highly commended. The Ant- 

 werps were very inferior ; we found one good-looking pen, but 

 discovered a malformation in the toe of one of the birds, which 

 shut them out of the prize list; the next we fancied contained 

 two cocks, so that the prizes were awarded to two very moderate 

 pens of Mr. Vigors. Tumblers, Fantails, Jacobifts, and the 

 Any variety, were all good classes : one or two birds of con- 

 siderable merit were to be found in the Selling class. 



The Show was well conducted, all the prize cards were placed on 

 the pens before the time announced for opening, and the sale-office 

 opened punctually to time; the birds appeared to have every 

 attention from Mr. Smith, the Superintendent of the feeding 

 department. We very much regret the paucity of the visitors 

 on the first day, which was occasioned by the heavy rain, which 

 fell without ceasing from the time of opening until we returned 

 to town.

EAST KENT POULTRY SHOW. 



If the sight of a brave man struggling with adversity was a 

 sight for the immortal gods, surely the Committee of the Ash- 

 ford Poultry Show deserves the sympathy of all poultry fanciers 

 and exhibitors, for a more fatal combination of untoward cir- 

 cumstances it is impossible to imagine. Desirous of increasing 

 the goodness of their Show, they iiad this year materially in- 

 creased the amount of their prizes, and were rewarded for their 

 liberality by an entry of a hundred pens more than last year ; 

 but other things came in to make this a positive misfortune — 

 they were disappointed about their pens, and at a late hoar had 

 to arrange for those belonging to the Yarmouth Society. The 

 carriage of these to Ashford alone cost them i'27 ; they are very 

 excellent and st£,ong ones, made of wood. The Show was open
