and extra second a very large White cock. In Jacobins the 

 •wiunora were Reds, the tJrst a hen, and second a cock; the first 

 very small and neat. Fautails were all noticed, the first White, 

 and second Blue. In Tumhhrs an Almond cock and hen were 

 placed tiret and second, both grand in head qualities and well 

 marked. Nuns were a f^ood lot and well shown, and all Blacks. 

 Turhits were a good clnss, the first. Red, and second Blue. In 

 Drnqf07is a capital Yellow was first, and a Grizzle second. 

 Antwcrps were not good as compared with the rest of the 

 classes; the first was, however, a nice Medium-faced Blue 

 Chequer, and the second a Short-faced Blue with pearl eyes. In 

 the Variety ckss the first was a Blue foreign wl of great beauty, 

 but rather dull in the eye; second a Black Barb; and third 

 a Trumpeter, the class being good and many noticed. In the 

 Selling class a White Pouter was first, and a Red Barb second. 

 Very U-vf pens were empty, with the exception of Mr. Harvey's, 

 whose birds did not arrive in either poultry and Pigeons. 



Rabbits were a good entry, and there was a capital tent pro- 

 vided for their protection. Lopa were first; a Fawn doe was 

 fitandiug first, the measurement being 21.^ by 4i ; second a 

 Tortoiseahell buck, rather small in the eye, 21 by 4J ; and third 

 a TortoiKeshell buck, 2U by A\. Himalayans were a very good 

 class, the prizes beiug won by one exhibitor; the first with a 

 young Rabbit, and second and third very large does. Pen 341 

 seemed a little worn with the journey. Silver- Greys very good, 

 and placed as at several recent shows. Dutch a capital class, 

 the first Blue and perfect; second Black, as also the third. In 

 the A'ariety class first and third were Belgian Hare, and second 

 an Angora.

KIPON SHOW OF POULTRY, &c. 



The thirteenth annual meeting of the Kipon Agricultural 

 Society was held on the 30th ult. Although not professing to 

 take charge of the poultry, &c., yet the management and atten- 

 tion (especially as regards food and water) ranks in the first 

 class, the consequence being that thou^jh the prizes are small 

 the entries are good, but we believe we are warranted in saying 

 that a better list will be offered next year. The pens were those 

 of the Northallerton Society, of wood with loose wire fronts, 

 and being placed under the trees with the backs to the sun, the 

 birds were well protected from the scorching heat. 



Gavie were poor, except the winners; the first Brown and 

 second Black Red. Spanish, only one pen pat in appearance. 

 Dorkings good, and all of the Dark variety. Light Brahinas 

 poor, but Dark a fair lot ; the first a handsome pen. Hoitdans 

 only three pens, and these fair in all points but comb. Cn'ves 

 very good. In Cochins the first cock was a grand one, as also 

 the second-prize hen, the rest being only moderate, except pen 

 355 (Blacks), which were pretty good for that colour. In Gold- 

 spangled Hamhiirghs fir.st were good and second moderate, these 

 remarks applying to Silvers also. In both Gold and Silver- 

 pencils the winners were very good, the rest only of moderate 

 quality. Two classes for Sebright Bantams produced only three 

 pens, the first in Gold being chickens. If we except the first 

 Black Reda in Game there was nothing of note ; but the Blacks 

 in the following class were good, the hens especially. Turlceijs 

 large, and in splendid trim. Geese large, but bad in colour. 

 Ducks pretty good ; the first in variety Black, and second Call 

 Ducks. Guinea Fowls were very good, but Mr. Young's pens 

 were empty. la the Selling class the first were Dark Brahmas 

 and second Spanish. 



Pigeons were more uniform in quality than poultry, not one 

 class but contained some good birds. In Carriers the first were 

 Dans and second Blacks. Almond Tumblers were very good in 

 all respects, and every pen noticed. In Tumblers any other the 

 first were Yellow Mottles, very good in head properties and 

 colour; the second common self-coloured Reds, very sound and 

 even, Pouters poor, except the first Blues. Ant'-verps were 

 very good, but two pairs were disqualified as cocks in place of 

 cock and hen. Jacobins good; the first Yellows and second 

 Reds. Fantails were very good, the first being very well shown. 

 Trumpeters only mnderate, but Barhs good, the first Black and 

 second Duns. Turhits were but a weedy lot, in which there 

 was great room for improvement; but Nuns were really good. 

 Dragoons were a fair lot, the winners being as near perfect as 

 can generally be found when shown in pairs ; the first Reds and 

 second Blues. A neat pair of Red Magpies were the recipients 

 of first, and Yellow of second honours, a grand pair of Blacks 

 losing through dirt alone. In Swallows first were Reds and 

 second Blacks. In the Variety class a pair of capital Blue 

 Foreign Owls secured first honours, capital Ice Pigeons of the 

 plain-backed kind being second. In the Selling class the first 

 were Black Carriers and second Dun Barbs. 



The youth of this neighbourhood seem to have a curions 

 idea of what a Rabbit is, the class producing both Rabbit, 

 Guinea Pigs, and Albino Rats, all very pretty and good in their 

 own way, and consequently noticed, though the prizes as a 

 matter of course went to Rabbits ; the first to an Angora, and 

 second to a Blue-and-white Lop.
