PRESTON POULTRY AND PIGEON SHOW. 



On the 7th and 8th this Show was held in the area of the 

 Corn Exchange, Preston, and, so far as the number of entries- 

 and the quality of the birds exhibited are concerned, maj be 

 considered to have been eminently successful. It is some twelve 

 years since an exhibition of a similar description was held in 

 the town, but it is intended, we understand, to establish the 

 Show as an annual institution. A better place than the area of 

 the Corn Exchange for such an Exhibition could not be obtained ; 

 it is well lighted. The Show was well arranged, and the im- 

 proved zinc pens being used, every visitor was enabled without 

 inconvenience to observe the exhibits. The poultry, comprising 

 the major part of the Exhibition, were accommodated on tables 

 in the area, there being three double rows of pens, reaching the 

 length of the building, and one single row at the bottom or west 

 end. The Pigeons were placed in single rows in the balconies. 



The Dorkings were anything but good, but the S2)anisJi and 

 Cochins of both varieties were fine birds, and so also were the 

 Brahmas, particularly the Darks. Tlie Game fowl were a good 

 show, and the Ham'hurglis were much admired, the Golden- 

 spangled carrj'ing off the palm in respect to quality. The 

 French fowls made a splendid display, especially the Creve- 

 Cceurs ; and in the class for Any other variety there was a 

 splendid array of birds, the Polands exhibited being particularly 

 good. The Bantams throughout were capital, and the first 

 and second (both Blacks) iu the class for Black or White Ban- 

 tams were really magnificent birds. There was an excellent 

 show of Ducks, more especially in the fancy class. Geese were 

 strongly represented in point of quality, but only the first and 

 second-prize winners among the Turkeys were worthy of notice. 

 In the Selling classes there were some good birds, but on the 

 whole these confined classes could not compare at aU favourably 

 with the open competitions, but this is only what might be 

 expected, consideriug the conditions provided that the prica 

 should not exceed 40s. with an entrance fee of 4s. 



The show of Pigeons on the whole was an excellent one, all 

 the classes being well filled. The Dragoons were splendid, 

 many of the most noted breeders and fanciers in the kingdom 

 being represented. The Antwerps and Barbs were also superior 

 classes; but the French Owls were hardly up to the standard 

 usvally seen at shows of this extent. The English Owls, how-
