IDLE POULTEY SHOW. 



Two seasons have elapsed since a show was held at Idle, and 

 previous to this the annual meeting had attained a fair stand 

 among the events of this part of Yorkshire ; but through the 

 irregularities of some in connection with the mauaaement the 

 Show was given up, but this season has been established fortu- 

 nately in good hands, so that we think a good future is in store 

 for the Society. The cricket field was well chosen for the pur- 

 pose, and pens on Turner's principle were used, but no tent 

 provided, tlie pens being placed in a square in the centre of the 

 field, but fortunately the weather was fine, else the birds must 

 have suffered from the exposure. The entries were not as large 

 as would have been the case had it not been for the occurrence 

 of other shows, especially the one at Oldham, those for poultry 

 being ninety, and for Pigeons eighty-four — a result we must 

 after all confess was a great disappoiutment to us. The whole 

 was well managed, and the number of visitors very good. 



Spanish were very good, and all old birds. Game had four 

 pens, the first Black, and second Brown Reds; Mr. Mason's 

 highly commended pen of Black Reds very good. Cochins, one 

 pen of Buffs. Brahvias, first Dark and second Light. Hayn- 

 hurqhs not numerous but good. In Gold-spangles the awards 

 were reversed from the Great Horton Show, and the timepiece 

 awarded here. In Game Bantams first were Piles and second 

 Black-breasted Beds ; and in the Variety Blacks won, the first 

 very small. Gold and Silver Polands won in the Variety for 

 large fowls. In Game cock chickens Brown Reds won, and 

 these were very promising birds; the pullets were also of that 

 colour. In the following class Partridge were first and Bufis 



second, but we should have reversed these awards. Pen 1, very 

 highly commended. Whites. In chickens Hamburghs are not 

 forward, and some time must elapse ere we can feel at all certain 

 the quality is aught approaching previous years, though there 

 were some good birds here. 



Pigeons ran very good in some classes. Ot Carriers there were 

 no entries, and of Barbs only one. The winning Jacobins were 

 Reds and good. Dragoons only one pen. In Tumblers, Long- 

 faced, first were Red and second Black Mottles, a good Black 

 Bald highly commended. Turbits were an easy win for Miss 

 Seanor, first with a Red and second Blue. English Owls were 

 a fair class; first Blue and second Silver. Antwerps were a 

 great disappointment in numbers, for in this locality large num- 

 bers are kept. The cup was given to a very handsome Short- 

 faced Dun cock, the second in that class being also of that 

 colour. Short-faced hens are not near the quality of cocks, 

 although in colour no improvement can be effected. Long-facea 

 were very good, and the winners well placed. Medium-faced 

 were good, very good ; in fact, we considered these the best of 

 the Antwerp classes. The cup for Pigeons except Antwerps 

 was won by a very pretty White Owl, the second in this class 

 being a Black Pouter. In the Selling class Black Barbs were 

 first and Blue Owls second.

HOBNINGLOW POULTRY SHOW. 



This was held on August 7th. The weather was most dis- 

 astrous for this Show, which was a very pretty little aiiair, the 

 quality of the birds being unusually good. 



In Dorkings first was a fair old pair, second and third mode- 

 rate. The winning Cochins were all good, the first richest in 

 colour. In Dark Brahmas first was a good pair, second fair 

 chickens ; the rest poor, two pens being empty. In Light 

 Brahmas first and second went to chickens, the first excelling 

 in size and feather; third two old birds. In Spanish first were 

 a capital pair of chickens. The first Brown Bed Game cock 

 was not in good trim. Duckwings were a much better lot, first 

 going to capital old, and second to grand young birds. In 

 Spangled Hamburghs first were plain Silvers, second Gold, 

 cock good, but hen poor; third to grand Silver chickens. This 

 was a capital class, and the third might easily have won. In 

 Pencils first went to a grand pair of Silvers in excellent feather, 

 second to first-rate Gold, and third to Silver chickens (since first 

 at Preston), good Golden being highly commended. Game 

 Bantarris were a neat lot. First were rich and stylish, second a 

 better pair we think, both Black Reds ; third Piles of fair 

 quality. Other than Game Bantams were fair; first fair 

 Black, second pale Gold-laced, third the best pen in the class 

 (Blacks). In the Variety class first went to neat Black Ham- 

 burgh chickens, second to old Blacks decidedly before them, and 

 third to fair Crcves, a better pen of Houdaus being highly com- 

 mended. 'There were a few pens of decent birds in the Selling 

 class.
