third, Houdans, were poor. The best pens were Mr. Dring's 

 unnoticed Hon lans, which were far better than any of the win- 

 ners. Mr. Berry's Houdans also good ; and Mrs. Tindal'a Cxrves, 

 which we fancied were an easy vviu. We tried to tiud a fault 

 bub failed. In the Variety class first went to White Coohius, 

 the pullet very good, cockerel moderate; second to Black 

 Cochiua, the pullet one of the best we have seen, cockerel leggy ; 

 third to very nice Malays. White Leghorns, White Cochins, 

 and White Dorkings being highly commended. In Bdiitams 

 the first Black lieds were excellent in all points, and in grand 

 feather; second cock an excellent bird, also a nice colour, but 

 not so stylish. In other coloured Game first went to rich Piles 

 of fair shape, second to big Brown Reds of nice colour, and 

 third to Brown Reds of greater promiBe. In the Any other 

 variety Bantams first went to neat little Blacks, good ; second to 

 good Silver-laced; and third to chickens (Silver- laced), which 

 could hardly have arrived at show age. We would have gone tu 

 thH unnoticed Gold-laced. 



Rouen Ducks were numerous and good, especially the winners. 

 In Aylesburys second were the best in bill. Among fancy 

 Ducks first went to Malaga Spotted-bills, second to Bahamas, 

 aud third to large Black East Indian; Cayugas being highly 

 commended. Grey Geese were a good lot iudeed, and very little 

 of the "gosling" about them. White Geese had but one entry. 

 Turkeys were good, eapecially the first cockerel.

CASTLE EDEN SHOW OF POULTRY, &c. 



The eighteenth annual Show of the Castle Eden Agricultural 

 Society was held at West Hartlepool on August 12th in the 

 cricket field, which, though roomy, we caunofc commend as a 

 nice place for such a purpose, and the morning being black and 

 sultry, the smoke of the town passing over made it more un- 

 pleasant. By the activity of Mr. Alderson, the well-known 

 amateur of this district, the poultry and Pigeon section was 

 well managed. The pens were of wood with wirework fronts, 

 and, being placed in a row without atent, the birds looked quite 

 different from what was the case on the previous day, and in 

 one marked case the awards were reversed. The entries in all 

 were about IGO, but in some of the classes of poultry only the 

 winners were of any use, the Cochins and Hamburghs, however, 

 being exceptions. 



Game and Game Bantamn were poor except the first Brown 

 Eeds in the Game class. The variety of Bantams was very 

 good; first Black, second Silver Sebrights, and very highly 

 commended Blacks. Geese, Ducks, and Turkeys were large and 

 good in all respects ; and in the Variety class the first-prize 

 Gobi Polands were a grand pair; Silver Polanda were second, 

 and Black Hamburghs extra second. Mr. Carver winning the 

 point cup. 



Pigeons were very good; and the point cup was well won by 

 Mr. Bcckworth, Mr. Alderson coming next. In Carriers firs: 

 and second were Black, the first in nico order, but the second 

 heavy, but a little spouty. Pouters measured well, but did not 

 show, and were rather shakey in feather; first Yellow, second 



White, and highly commended Black and Blue respectively. 

 Tumblers a large class, and all noticed; first an Almond cock, 

 rich in colour, good head, and moderately marked ; second a 

 Yellow Agate in fine order; very highly commended a Black 

 Mottle, best in the class, but dirty and oat of order; and a Red 

 Wuole-feather, with best head, beak, and eye of all, but out of 

 sorts. Tiirbits a large aud good class ; first a Blue and second 

 a Silver, both very good ; an extra second going to a nice Red. 

 In Fantails the wiunerd White, and very fiue in carriage and 

 tail; the others poor. In Owls the winners were White; 

 foreign first, a hen very good in Owl properties, and email; 

 and second a cock, also good. In the Variety class first was 

 a well-known Mottled Trumpeter, second a Black Barb cock, 

 aud two extra seconds were given to a Black Magpie and a 

 Blondinette. 



In Rabbits only the Lops were good. Dr. Boden having made 

 the mistake of showing two does as a pair, was awarded an extra 

 first at the instance of the Secretary, Mr. Tait ; the first for 

 pairs going to Grey-aud-white, 23i by o ; and 22 by -IJ second. 

 A pair of good young Blacks, Dr. Bodeu's, measuring 22 by 5, 

 and 21.i by 4J, were Tortoiseshell,

WHITBY AGRICDLTDRA-L SOCIETY'S POULTRY 

 SHOW. 



This Show was held on the 11th inst. in the Union Mill Fields. 

 The entries were not as large as last year, when the numbers 

 were '278, against 193 this year. The pens were well arranged 

 round two sides of the field in the open, and were boarded at 

 back; the attendance on the birds being all that could be 

 desired. The number of visitors was very great, the day being 

 unusually fine and enjoyable. 



The classes of poultry were divided into old and young. A 

 cup offered for the best pen in the Show being awarded to a 

 splendid pen of Spanish, in which the hen was unusually good ; 

 the second in this pen were a pretty good lot; but Messrs. 

 Newbitt's pen was empty. Old Dorkings were good, but the 

 young better; but young Spanish were not forward. The first 

 pen of Cochins, Buffs, were a grand pen ; the second moderate. 

 Of old Brahnias only two pens, but Whites mustered better, 

 a pair of the best Light-coloured chickens we have seen this 

 season standing first, with good Dark birds second. In old 

 Game Brown Reds won, and in the Variety class Duckwings were 

 the winners, a capital pairof Duckwing chickens first, and Black 

 Reds second; most of the others were noticed. Gold-spangled 

 Hamburghs were very good as regards the winners, Silver-pen- 

 cilled moderate, and Spangles good. In Spangle chickens the 

 winners were Silvers, but in Pencilled chickens first were Gold 

 and second Silver. In Game Bantams, old, only two pens were 

 noticed, but the next class was good, Blacks first and second,
