of the Show. At any local meeting it is difficult to find Turkeys ' 

 and Geese of equal merit to those entered at Kettering; but it 

 should be borne in mind that mixed colourB in the Geese con- 

 stituting a show pen are not allowable, however otherwise as 

 individual birds they may be praiseworthy. 



The weather proved favourable. The Committee were most 

 desirous to please everyone, and the visitors were quite as 

 numerous as could be expected. 



Though the Pigeons were limited in number, as might be ex- 

 pected fi-om the season being advanced, the classes of Pouters 

 and Carriers were exceptionally good. A local exhibitor, Mr. 

 Martin, took the cup with a beautiful White hen in excellent 

 condition and show, and a first prize with his White cock, 

 closely followed by an excellent Blue-pied. In Carrier cocks 

 Blacks were first and second. In hens the first prize went to 

 an excellent Black. A very good pair of Archangels in the 

 Variety class won a cup.

 15s., inclueiva of coats, for ill-treatment, which consisted in 

 tying the birds by the legs in pairs, suspending them for sale, 

 and carrying them in that position for about half a mile. The 

 birds, when examined by the inspector of the Society for the 

 Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, were half dead. The magis- 

 trates considered it a case of gross cruelty, and would have 

 committed the defendants were they of opinion that the ofEence
