BELFAST POULTRY SHOW. 



The offer of a good list of cups and money prizes will bring a 

 good show together, even on the other side of the Irish Channel, 

 and the Belfast Ornithological Society has no reason to repine 

 with such success achieved in the face of one show in Ireland, 

 and perhaps near a dozen iu England at the same time, though 

 we do not think the time chosen the moat opportune that could 

 be. The Ulster Hall is an excellent place for such a gathering, 

 the room being lofty and light. Turner's pens were used, and 

 being well placed, made an excellent display of the occupants. 

 In most of the clasees the English exhibitors had been very 

 wary, and had sent excellent birds ; but even these had plenty 

 of work with the stock of our Irish friends, as will be seen from 

 the prize list. 



In Dorkings Mr. Mulligan headed the list with a good Dark 

 cockerel, also taking the cup for the four classes, most of the 

 other birds being rather defective in feet. The hens were a 

 good lot in the Dark, but the Light or Silver-Greya did not 

 show up well in quality. Cochifis, Buff, brought some grand 

 birds. In cocks a grand old bird was awarded first position ; 

 the second, a cockerel, was very grand in feather and colour; 

 bat the former was beaten for the cup for cocks by a handsome 

 well-developed Partridge shown by Messrs. Crabtree,the second 

 here being "White. Iu hens, Buff, were some grand birds. The 

 first a most grand bird iu shape and style, a little flecked with 

 unmoulted feathers, was awarded the cup, and being in catalogue 

 at a low price she was sold at once. The second and third were 

 grand coloured birds. In the next class the first was a large 

 white, second a Partridge not ao large, but more shapely. 

 Brahmas also turned-up well, there being four cups. The Dark 

 cocks were good. A cockerel, in price only i'3 3s., won, and was 

 at once sold ; second and third were old birds. In hens Mr. 

 Leuo's exquisitely-marked puUet was first-and-cup, Mr. Crab- 

 tree's large old hen second ; and there were many other very 

 excellent hens in the class. Light Brahma cocks were only
