SWANSEA POULTRY SHOW. 



This Show was a complete success. It was held in the covered 

 market. The birds were well attended to. Mr. Carr, the Steward 

 of the poultry department, was unremitting in his attention. 

 The birds were exliibited in Turner's pens ; being placed on one 

 height all birds stood au ecjual chauce. The day was fine, and 

 brought a large attendance of visitors. 



The Dorkings were a good class, numbering twenty-one pens, 

 the prize birds particularly so ; eight pens were commended. 

 Spanish only moderate, the first-prize bird good, but shown in 

 bad condition. Black and Brown Ga)?K; brought seventeen pens 

 of very fair birds. We thought we saw some of the Malay in 

 some of them. Game, Any other variety, seven pens, the cop 

 was given to a pen of good Piles, a pen of Duckwings running 

 them very close. CocJiins were very fair, the prize pens being 

 good. Brakmas, Dark, as usual, were strong classes in both 

 old and young. Mr. Feast took the cup and third prize with 

 good birds. There were thirteen pens of old, and seventeen pens 

 of young birds. In Light Brahmas Mrs. RoUs's pen 361, to which 

 the cap was awarded, being particularly good. There were 

 many good birds in both the old and young classes, eleven pens 

 old, twelve pens young. French, Mr. Feast took the first with 

 a bird that figured in the Palace prize list we think. Any other 

 variety. — The pen 409, Malays, were very good indeed, and justly 

 merited the cup awarded to them. Game Bantams, eighteen 

 pens, nothing very striking; first Brown Reds, second and third 

 Black Reds. Bantams, Any other variety, first and cup to a 

 very nice pen of Silver-laced. Game, cockerel, the first a stylish 



Black Bed, second a good Black Red. There were twenty-two 

 pens, but nothing to note beyond the prize pens. We would 

 like our Welsh fanciers to try and get the dark eye and more of 

 the lemon shade into their Brown Red Game cockerels' hackles : 

 their style is good, but we do not like the colour. In pullets we 

 thought the prizes well awarded. The Ducks were good, par- 

 ticularly the drake in the cup pen. The first-prize Geese and 

 Turkeys were very fine. In the Selling class were some very 

 choice and cheap pens; these were offered by auction at 3 o'clock. 



The Pigeons were a nice lot of ninety-four pens. Mr. Spencer, 

 of Hereford, won the point cup. First prize Carrier cock. Black, 

 able to win in better competition. First-prize Jacobins were 

 also very good; the Fantails an excellent class. Barbs poor. 

 First-prize Trumpeters, English and Foreign, with good rose. 

 First-prize Turbits pretty Blues.
