OUNDLE SHOW OF POULTRY, &c. 



This Show was held on the loth inst. Most unfortunately the 

 rain came down before dinner and continued throuj^h the day, 

 which mast have caused a severe diminution in the receipts. 

 Mr. Hewitt, who looked well, judged the whole- The whole 

 arrangements were carried out by Mr. Turner of Sheffield, who 

 was present with hia pens. 



la Dorkings fir.-it was a very fine bird, second not ao large bat 

 better in feet. Cockerels were fair, the winner a Dark bird of 

 promise. The pair of hens were splendid, Mr. Wood's being of 

 fine size but bad feet. Mr. Bartram's pullets were large and 

 good. In Game the winner was a very stylish rich Brown Red, 

 second a good-coloured Black Red. Cockerels were poor. In 

 hens the best were all hard Brown Reds, though becoming 

 rather dampy in body. The winning pullets showed beautiful 

 style and quality. In Spn)iish first was good in face and fairly 

 open iu lobe, second larger aud narrower in face. The first and 

 second pairs of hens were fine in quality and size, third too 

 coarse. The first chickens were far forwarder than the rest, 

 having the face and lobe well formed. Cnchln cocks were very 

 numerous ; first a grand White of fine quality and shape, second 

 a rich large Buff too full in tail. 71 (WinwoOLl) out of feather; 

 62 (Woodgate) a fair White ; 59 (Snell) was a good bird, but he 

 could not stand up. In hens Mrs. Tindall repeated the dose, 

 first with superb Partridge, and second with grand Whites ; 

 third being also White, but not so good. Neat Blacks were 

 commended. In chickens, first aud second, Mrs. Tindall a 

 third time with wonderful Partridge and stylish Buffs, the 

 former pen bidding fair to reach a high standard of perfection; 

 third were neat but smaller Whites. 82 (Derry) were capital 

 Partridge, promising well. In Dark Brahmas first was a neat 

 but small cock, the rest a poor lot. Hens were better in 

 quality, the first being well pencilled, but bare-legged; second 

 large stylish birds ; the rest all nicely marked and all noticed. 

 There were seven pens of chickens, the winner being the only 

 worthy one. This cockerel showed much quality both in colour 

 and shape. In Light cocks first was a lovely shape and all 

 but perfect; second good iu colour and size, but not a Brahma 

 in shape. Mr. Haines's was a capital bird, far before him, in 

 our opinion. In hens first aud second were nicely-matched 

 birds with dark hackles, the largest pair beiner 131 (Long), but 

 not well feathered, the prettiest in shape 130 (Savile). In 

 chickens the first were laaky and very bad in colour, aud the 

 second similar; far the best pens being Mr. Haines's for first, 

 and Mrs. Peet second, so most fanciers had placed their judg- 

 ment the birds being so superior; but we believe Mr. Hewitt 

 threw them out on account of the heavy hocks in the cockerels. 

 In other respects these birds were all beautiful. In Pencilled 

 Hamburghs the first were a good pair, the cock, perhaps, too 

 coarse in head ; second, however, we could not agree with, there 

 being much better Golden than there were Silver, the cock was 

 yellow in plumage and white in face. 150 (Robinson) contained 

 a nice cock ; 114 (Judson) a grand hen, in fact she was far 

 superior to any female in the class ; cock bad in comb. 145 

 (Long) a very rich old cock wi:li beautiful sickles ; 150a (Pickles) 

 Silvers, the cock with a good tail but white face. The rest 

 were only moderate. In Spangles first went to very moderate 

 Goldens, second to nice Silvers ; 154a was another pen of 

 Golden, much better than the winners in every point. In Ban- 

 tams first were the Boston cup Sebrights, placed in their old 

 position after their treatment at Brentwood ; second neat little 

 Pile Game. Mr. Mayo's were fair Blacks. In the Variety class 

 first were Silver Polands, the cock of bad colour and marking, 

 the hen coarse aud heavy in lacing; the second, Black Ham- 

 burghs, were generally preferred ; third were White Yokohamas ; 

 167 (Cutlack), fine Cn-ves not iu condition. 



The first aud second Geese were very fine, and far away from 

 the rest. Aylesbury and Rouen Ducks were decidedly poor. 



In fancy Ducks Mr. Leno was placed first with Kasarkas and 

 second with Viduatas, although we hear he was disqualified, the 

 rules requiring a drake and two Ducks, whereas he only showed 

 one Duck. The highly commended pens contained Teal and 

 Carolinas. Turkeys were very fair for the time of year. 



In liabbits the best were the Silver-Grey, the Yellow-and- 

 white Lop, and the Grey Dutch. 



Pigeons were very poor indeed, the Carriers being nothing to 

 deserve notice ; Pouters similar, and the Variety class contain- 

 ing nice Barbs first, aud fair Trumpeters and Almonds.

HEWORTH SHOW OF POULTRY, &c. 



This Show was held on the 14th inst., and comprised the 

 Horticulttiral, Poultry, Pigeon, aud Rabbit Show, and was for 

 birds bred in 1875. The entries for birds were large, and the 

 finality of the birds really good, many being winners at North- 

 ampton, Yorkshire Gala, and other shows. 



The Babbits shown were far above the average of what wo 

 usually see at a local show. The Lops were a grand lot ; Mr. 

 Myton'a fine old Fawn doe first at Fulford could only just get 

 among the commendeds. In the Variety class Mr. Giaisby'a 

 beautiful Angora, first at Fulford and winner of several first 

 prizes, had to give way to Mr. Lund's handsome and well-marked 

 little Dutch. In the Selling class the first was a very haudeomo 

 Black Lop doe; the second a very nice young Grey. There 

 was not an inferior Rabbit in the Show. In Lops the first was 

 a good young Tortoiseshell, close on 23 by 5 inches; the second 

 prize being carried off by a very graceful young Fawn doe, 22 by 

 5{ inches. This being the first show at Heworth it was iu every 

 respect a success.
