a wonderfully neat bird. The Any other varipty Bantam classes 

 were capitally filled. Sebrights, usually Silver now, strutted 

 neat and lovelyin feather. Japanese looked solid. Files{why do 

 not ladiea take to these feather- faucy birds ?) looked syminetrical, 

 while the Black glittered like mea in armour. Out of the 

 twenty-three entries there was scarcely a bad one. The firet 

 Black cock deserves a special nolice, as being what a Black 

 Bantam should be; but, indeed, all the prize birds were very 

 meritorious. 



Concerning the Pigeons, and. Cage Birds, and Cats, and Dogs,

DRIFFIELD SHOW OF POULTRY, &c. 



The annual Show was held at Driffield on Wednesday the 2lBt. 

 In an evil hour the Committee yielded, to the wish oE some and 

 continued the Show for two days, to the evident loss of entries, 

 though as a whole these were gnod. Dorkings were very good, 

 and Spanish a fair lot ; the Cochins even betier, the third-prize 

 bird beint; one hatched by artificial means of a very simple 

 nature. Brahmas, first Dark and second Light. InHamhurghs 

 the competition was vary keen, the birds being imcommonly 

 good for the amount offered. Game not numerous but fair in 

 quality. In Game Bantams Black Reds won, and these were 

 good; first the Stockton wiunera in grand order. Any other 

 variety, first and third Blacks, second Silver Sebrights. Geese 

 and Turkeys were very good, but some of theso were failing in 

 feather. Oae clas^ was provided for chickens, the first being 

 an unusually good pair of Gold Pencils and second Brown Red 

 Game, and in extra stock the first were Silver Polish and second 

 and third very good Guinea Fowl. 



In Pigeons unfortunately, Mr. Crosby's birds, all the way 

 from Cheshire, and like winners, were too late for competition. 

 Carriers a moderate lot, but Pouters very good. First a Black 

 cock of grand proportions and in fine show, and second White ; 

 the third also a good Black. Tumblers, Almond first and second, 

 and a Long-faced Bald third. Jacobins were very good, and all 

 the winners Reds. Fantaiis very good. In Turbifcs a very neat 

 Yellow was first, and second a Silver good in all points but boak ; 

 third a Blue rather coarse. A nice Red left out, some feathers 

 being out in front of the face. lo Dragoons first was a grand 

 Yellow, second Silver, and third Blue, Antwerpa had two 

 classes, the winners very guod. In the Variety class first a 

 Black Barb, eecond an Ice, and third a Trumpeter. 



Babbits were a fair eutry, although only four classes were 

 provided. 



Ca^c SiVis were a muddle, aq is always the case where the 

 numbers start afresh in each clas^, some names not being given. 



THIRSK SHOW OF POULTRY. &c. 



The seventh annual Show took place at Thirsk on the 20th 

 inst., the entries being greater than on any previous occasion; 

 and the general management in the hands of Mr. Hutchinson 

 was very good, the birds were penned promptly and excellent 

 pens provided, and these were in the open air. 



Do) kings were very good, Dark Greys winning in both cases ; 

 Brown Reds taking both prizes in Game, but only the winners 

 were of any value. Spanish were a fair lot, the first very smooth 

 but not large in drop. Two classes were provided for Cochins^ 

 but as a rule these were not good. Brahmas, Dark, won both 

 prizes, though a nice pen of Light were shown. Gold-spangled 

 Hantburghs were better than the Silvers; the first-prize cock 

 very neat in comb. In the following claeses Mr. Pick.es won 

 every first prize with a capital stud. Poliah, first Silver and 

 second Gold; the first a capital crested pen. Ban*ams, Game, 

 were numerous, but only two were mentioned; first Black and 

 second Brown Reds. Tarkeus are generally good here, and this 

 was no exception, the birds being very large. 



Pigeons were poorly provided for, in most cases only a first 

 prize being offered ; but both the quality and number of birds 

 would warrant an extension of the list, nothing paying better in 

 this quarter than a good schedule for Pigeons.

STOCKTON-ON-TEES POULTRY SHOW. 



The first show of Poultry and Pigeons and Rabbits, apart 



from the Cleveland Society, was held on the 20th inst. in a large 



meadow on the outskirts of the town, the classes in all sections 



j being well filled, the Show being well managed in all respects, 



' and the day very fine. Single jadging, which we have ever 



' advocated, was the rule, and a catalogu's was placed in the handa 



1 of each Judge, for the first time in tbe annals of a poultry show. 



With one who has stood the ordeal of a twelve-years roasting at 



the Lancashire and Yorkshire shows this system can have no
