and White-booted third. In the Variety class first were Silver, 

 and second Gold Polish. In the Selling class Buff Cochin 

 chickens were first, old Spanish second, and Rouen Ducks third. 

 Ducks were a fair lot in each class; the old Rouens were, how- 

 ever, the best as regards the winners. 



In Pigeons Pouters, Tumblers, and Trumpeters had but one 

 pen each. Carriers only moderate in quality ; Fantails very 

 good, as also Barbs, and in the Variety class first were Silver 

 Owls, and second Blue Turbits.

OLDHAM SHOW OF POULTRY, &c. 



The second annnal Show of the Oldham Agricultural Society 

 took place on the 14th inst., and was immense, whether regard- 

 ing the number of variety of claBses or the viBitore ; the latter 

 were so numerous as to be quite beyond computation, and the 

 receipts at the gates must have been enormous. Pens on Turner's 

 principle were used and well arranged, but there was no tent or 

 marquee, and had it been wet the birds must have suffered 

 much. The classes were very numerous, the Show having 

 originally been got up for young birds, but at the suggestion of 

 some exhibitors several classes for old were added ; but the 

 schedule is still faulty and needs revision. 



In Ga)ne Mr. Brierley's old birds were good, the two cockerels 

 in Brown Reds only being good in chickens. Spanish poor, 

 but Dorkings good. Silver- Greys being first in old birds. In 

 Brahmas were some good birds, the first in cockerel and pullet 

 very good in all respects, but smaller than the second, which 

 were, however, not so good in style or tail. Cochins were a fair 

 lot, some very forward birds winning in the Buffs. Hamhurghs 

 had eighteen classes, the Gold-pencils a moderate lot only, but 

 the first in Silver-pencils very good. In Gold-spangle chickens 

 the first-prize pullet was a gem, but the second-prize cockerel 

 was by far the best, and likely to make a grand bird. Well- 

 known birds were to the front in old birds. The first in Silver- 

 spangle chickens were a good even pair, the others moderate, 

 but some of the old birds were rather shabby; the winners, 

 however, being in nice form, but pen 429 (Long) might have 

 been put second with advantage. In pullets all were noticed. 

 Black Hamhurghs were about the best of the Hamhurghs, the 

 old especially ; but by far the best pen ia other respects were 

 left out in chickens, the pullet's wing being a little brown. In 

 the Variety class for old birds the first were Gold Polands, very 

 ^ood and in fine feather, and eecond Partridge Cochins ; Silver 

 Polands and Cuckoo Cochins highly commended. Aylesbury 

 Ducklings were large and in the pink of bloom, the Rouens 

 being also good. In Gerse Whites were first and Toulouse 

 second. Numbers of poultry, 180. 



There were eighteen classes for local competition in Pigeotis, 

 in which were some fair specimens, especially in the Carriers. 

 In the general competition Messrs. Harvey, Walker, and Rich- 

 mond won well. In Carrier cocks first was a Dun, very good in 



beak-wattle and moderate in eye ; second a Dun, good in eye, 

 but rather flat-wattled and a little out of order. The winning 

 Duu hen was grand and well shown ; second a good Black. 

 Pouter cocks, first Blue and second White, hens being similarly 

 placed and all good. Red Turbits were first and Blacks second. 

 In the next class, pen 550 (Ashton), Reds, were very good. Jaco- 

 bins were first Reds and second Yellows ; the Reds grand in 

 mane and hood, but the cock foul flighted, but the award correct. 

 Fantails were first White and second Blue. In Owls a very 

 neat pair of Blue African were first, and Whites second and well 

 placed. Nuns, first Black and second Yellow; Blues winning 

 the first and Yellows second in Dragoons, Trumpeters were 

 both Mottles, and grand massive birds. There were only three 

 pens of Long-faced Antwerps, but we did not admire the awards, 

 the second Silver Duns being by far the best, Red Chequers 

 being placed first; the Short-faces being also a great mistake as 

 regards the awarda. The first Reds and second Silver Duns 

 ought by all means to have been reversed ; but with these ex- 

 ceptions the Show was well judged. In the Variety class first 

 was a very pretty pair of Fairy Swallows, and secund equally 

 good Spangled Ice Pigeons. Almonds pretty good. Tumblers, 

 Beards and BaUls, were first nice Short-faced Yellow Balds. 

 The second Blue Beards were notgood ones, but there wasa nice 

 pair of Black Long-faced Balds. The entries in Pigeons, 105. 



In Rahhits, Lop-ears, there was nothing of note, but Angoras 

 were good; first and second very fine in fur, but young highly 

 commended a large Rabbit, but out of fur. The first Himalayan 

 was a very good one in points, the second and highly commended 

 very fair. Silver- Greys were very poor, one dark in head and 

 the other deep in moult. In the Variety, first was a Tortoise- 

 shell Dutch buck, a good Rabbit; second a Siberian in nice 

 order, and highly commended a Blue Dutch. Entries, twenty- 

 one. 



Of Cats there were nine in one class. The first a Black and 

 second a Grey Tabby-and- white ; several TortoiseshtU-and- 

 white also noticed.
