made ^eat progress in Ireland, and tliere were some vei-y grand 

 birds in both classes. Cochinsv^exe good in both the old classes, 

 but chickens were poor j there were some good Blacks. Strange 

 to say, there were no entries for Game, and in Hamhurghs the 

 birds were poor, with the esception of the winners. Polish 

 good, especially the White crested Blacks. Some good cheap 

 birds quickly chaoged hands iu the Selling classes. Turkeys 

 and Aquatic Birds are generally very fine here, and this was no 

 exception to the rnle ; in fact, these were unusually good and 

 large. Bantams, both Game and Blacks, were very good as 

 regards the winners, the first in Blacks a good pair. 



Pigeons were a small entry, and most of the prizes carried off 

 by Mr. Seale ; but with the exception of Pouters and Turbits 

 they do not call for special remark.

BUKSLEM POULTRY SHOW. 



The second annual Show of Dogs, Poultry, Pigeons, Rabbits, 

 and Birds was held iu the covered market and Town Hall, on 

 Wednesday and Thursday, December 9th and 10th. There 

 were about 711 entries in the entire Show, made-up as follows : 

 — Dogs 215, poultry 292, Pigeons 133, Canaries oO, aud Rabbits 

 16. The Exbibition was a line one, and was carried-out as well 

 as the unfortunate mistake of the non-arrival of the pens for a 

 portion of the poultry and Pigeons would permit, in a aatia- 

 factory manner. 



ThH classes for Game fowls were the heaviest filled, and con- 

 tained many fine birds. There were a few good pens of Gold 

 and Silver-spangled aud Pencilled Hamhurghs. There were 

 several good pens of Bantams. The Selling class contained 

 many good birds. There were nine pens of Rouen Ducks, 

 eleven of White Aylesbury, thirteen of any other variety, eleven 

 pens of Geese, six of Turkeys, and three local classes, the first 

 of which contained twenty pens of various breeds, the second 

 for Hamhurghs with eight entries, and the third class for 

 Bantams of any variety, in which we noticed several showy 

 pens in the twenty-one entries. 



The Pigeons looked tolerably well throughout the classes, 

 there being several first-class Carriers, Dragoons, Pouters, 

 Tumblers, Fantails, Jacobins, and other breeds. 



Babbits were not very numerous, but the quality in some 

 instances was good. 



The Canary classes were moderate in some instances. In 

 the two classes of Belgians the first-prize birds iu each were 

 worth breeding with. The Norwich, Lizard, Mules, and Brown 

 Linnet and Goldfinch classes were very good, particularly as to 

 quality. One of the Goldfinch and Canary Mules was dis- 

 qualified through having been trimmed in the tail. It belonged 

 to Mr. John Casement, Newcastle, Staffordshire.
