GREAT GRIMSBY SHOW OF POULTRY, &c. 



This was held on the 2l6t inst. in connection with thtfLincoln- 

 sbire Ayriciiitaral Society, and although the classes were not 

 so nnnierons as last year it was a deciOed success. On the day 

 of onr visit (Friday), the only fine day, it was so crammed with 

 people that it was with the greatest diliiculty we were able to 

 see the birds at all. Mr. Teebay judged, and except in one or 

 two instances gave the greatest satisfaction. 



In Dorkings, ten entries, lirst was a large and good Dark cock 

 with a nice heu ; second a lari^e bird of quality ; third were 

 promising chickens. In Bed Game first went to a grand pen of 

 Black Ked«, though full in feather; second moderate Brown 

 Iteds; we preferred the fourth pen to this. In the nest class 

 first went to neat-headed Duckwiugs, though not good in colour ; 

 second were fair Oirds of the same colour, but not in such good 

 leather; rest poor. In Ccckins first went to a fine old pen of 

 Buffs, the ccck having a deal of white in his hackle; second 

 Partridge, which we would have put ahead, both birds being 

 of rare quality ; third contained a grand White hen. InBralimas 

 first went to Darks, the cock a nice bird ; second very superior 

 Lights. Spanish were a wretched lot, the only good bird being 

 the first-priie hen. In Spangled Saynhurghs but one pen com- 

 peted, these being very good Golden. In Pencils firtt contained 

 a richly-coloured cock with a grand tail, though small in ear; 

 second not so good as the third, the cock being much too dark, 

 white in the face, and without any lacing in his tail, the hen 

 being poor ; third a good hen both in colour and marking, her 

 partner being a very smart young cockerel, good in head and 

 ear, and fair in colour. In Boudans first a Dark cock good all 

 round, with a nice hen ; second a fine cock in size, but ugly in 

 comb ; the hen was very good. In Cri-ves the first hen was a 

 beauty, but the cock very squirrel-tailed ; second also bad in 

 this respect; third a fine cock, but a bad hen. No. .5-1 (Cutlack) 

 a fine cock. In Polish first a good pen of Golden, the heu 

 nicely marked, and the cock very neat and rich ; second not so 

 good as the third. Bantams numbered nine pens, first being a 

 very stylish pen of Black Reds ; second fair Duckwings ; third 

 Brown Reds. Blacks were first in the next class, but they were 

 nothing extra ; second went to Silver Sebrights, the cock a nice 

 bird, but the hen poor. In ihe Variety class first went to La 

 Fleche of nice quality, but we thought the second Black Ham- 

 burghs much more perfect. In the Selling class for single cocks 

 first was a very rich Buff, and in that for pairs of hens good 

 Spanish were victorious and quickly claimed ; second were a 

 cheap pair of Cochiof. In Gccse Mr. "Walker's Toulouse just 

 beat Mr. Derry's fine Embdens. Ducks were good, Mr. Walker 

 winning first and second in all three cla'^ses, the latter with 

 Spotted-bills and Chilian Pintails. Turketjs and Guinea Fowls 

 mustered only one pen each. 



Pigeons were very few, especially the Carriers. There was a 

 nice pair of Almonds first in the Tumbler class, and in the 

 Variety class first went to good Black Barbs ; second to fair 

 Yellows. The pens were supplied by Mr. Turner of Sheffield, 

 and the whole management was entrusted to George Heliwell, 

 everything going off satisfactorily.

DARI. 



D.iKi is frequently advertised in the Liverpool papers, and I 

 have often seen and heard it well spoken of as calculated to 

 promote laying in fowls. My own experience of it is that it 

 makes a nice change to alternate with other food, and my fowls 

 seem very fond of it; but I have not tried it sulJiciently to be 

 able to form a decided opinion myself as to its merits. — W. J. S. 



OUNDLE POULTRY SHOW. 



{From anotlier Reporter.) 



Mb. Hewitt was the Judge, and his awards gave great satis- 

 faction. The pens were Turner's, and were well arranged. We 

 believe there are here the rudiments of a good show; but the 

 schedule wants entirely remodelling. So many of these associa- 

 tions issue their schedules year alter year the fac simile of the 

 last one, while if they were only re-arranged to meet more the 

 requirements of their patrons, we believe many more entries 

 would be the result, and greater general success would follow. 



Dorking cocks came first; the first was very large and good, 

 but the second closely pressed on him. In cockerels a good 

 Dark won; second going to a really fine White bird, and cheap 

 at catalogue price. In hens the prize birds were good; the 

 second a shade the smallest, but not much between the two 

 pairs. The first pullets were good-coloured; second going to 

 wonderfully early Silver- Greys of splendid colour, and another 

 bargain to someone at £5 os. 



Old Game cocks were good, first and third going to Brown 

 Reds, and second to Blacks. The third cock we admired im- 

 mensely, but his condition was not so good as the first-prize 

 bird. Game cockerels were all undubbed, but promised to 

 make into a lot of good birds. In hens first and second went 

 to smart Brown Red hens, and third to a fair Black Red. The 

 pullets were also a nice lot, especially the Brown Reds. 



Spanish were not large classes, but the quality was good ; the 

 second cock was admired most by some, but we did not think 

 much wrong here in the awards. All the three prize pairs of 

 hens were capital. The first pair of chickens were very forward, 

 and the pullet looking quite matured ; second and third young 

 pens of much promise. 



The Cochins were perhaps the best classes in the Show ; aU 

 three were wonderfully good. In cocks Mrs. TindaU won first 

 with a White, late of Mrs. Williamson's, and second with a good 

 Buff. 61 (Holton) a good Partridge ; 62 (Woodgate) a very grand 

 White, with fine leg-feathering; 71a (Winwood) a very pretty 

 Buff. In hens first went to Whites, a very pretty pair, which 

 also lately came from Queniboro' ; second to very tine Buffs ; 

 and third went to a beautiful pair of White hens. In chickens 

 the first went to Partridges of great merit; second to good 

 Buffs; and third to a very young but splendidly-feathered and 

 promising pair of Whites. 82, good Partridges. 



Dark Brahma cocks were pretty good, but there was not 

 much worthy of notice. The prize hens were very good, and 

 the first pair of Dark chickens really very grand inoeed. Light 

 Brahma cocks were not first-rate, except the first-prize bird, 

 which was very good. The hens were capital and well chosen, 

 though Capt. SavUe's pen was also very fine. The chickens 

 were not a good lot ; stiU as they were, we thought the best 

 birds won. 



Hamburghs were lumped into two classes. Gold and Silver 

 each won a prize. 141 (.Judson) contained a beautiful hen, 

 which seems to bear any amount of exhibiting. In Spangles 

 Gold and Silver again won the prizes; but this was a very 

 small class, still the quality was good. 154a, very good.
