BURY POULTRY SHOW. 



Aq usaal this Society issued a good eohedule, but the classes 

 were mostly for chickens. In Spanish cockerels first was a very 

 promising bird, pressed by two or three others of good merit. 

 In pullets first was a very good bird well developed. In Buff 

 Cochim Mr. Sidgwick had all his own way with well-known 

 birds, but in Partridge he was hard pressed. First cockerel, a 

 fine, big, rich bird ; second also very good, but hocked. The 

 first pullet we did not like, her colour being bad; second very 

 good. Very highly commended was a capital Black indeed. In 

 Dark Brahmas the two cockerels were the well-known champions 

 of Mr. Ansdell, second being the first Birmingham ; Mr. W. A. 

 Wright's having a bad comb. In pullets we did not like the 

 winner, which was the same we have before noticed — not well 

 pencilled, and open in breast ; we prefer the second. In Light 

 cockerels first was a thick well-made bird, good in feather and 

 comb ; second not good in comb ; highly commended a fine bird 

 which we preferred to second. In pullets first was a very good 

 one, second fair in size and colour, highly commended (Long) 

 smaller but very neat. In Game the first old bird was a very 

 rich fellow of capital style. Mr. Fletcher's was our selection for 

 Eecond. In cockerels one pen only appeared : the first pullet 

 was good. In other colours the judging was much at fault, the 

 second being infinitely preferable to first in both cases. Polunds 

 did not show well : the cockerels were not good ; pullets better, 

 both being nice birds. In Golrien-spangled Hamburghs the 

 first cockerel was not a good colour, second decidedly better to 

 our mind. In pullets also we preferred the second to the first. 

 In Silvers both wioners were smart and well marked. The 

 first pullet was a beauty, second fair. In Gold-pencils first and 

 seconlwere both good birds. In Pencil pullets both winners 

 were nice birds. In Silvers the first in both classes were excel- 

 lent indeed ; the second cockerel a bad colour. The first Black 

 cockerel was very neat, second fnir. Pullets were a nice class, 

 the first being especially nice iu bloom. In Dorkings both 

 cockerels were large and good, as was the first pullet. In the 

 Variety class the first Houdau was a fine bird if we except his 

 comb ; the pullet, also a Houdan, was a beauty. In Game 

 Ba •itams the first cockerel was a little gem in every way, second 

 a smart bird with a bad eye. In other colours but Reds the 

 winner was a real good bird. In the Variety class first went to 

 well-known Silver-laced, second to Pekins, Blacks beiug highly 

 commended only. The first single cock was a very good Black 

 Bed, second also a very good bird. In chicken', any colour, the 

 first cockerel was a beautiful Sebright, as was the second pullet; 

 the first Game pullet being very leggy and neit. In old birds, 

 any breed, first went to Dark Brahmas of great merit; second 

 to Buff Cochins in bad feather; and third to Spanish. "This was 

 6 good class. In Aylesbury Ducks, first were very fine, and the 

 rest good. Rouens were both numerous and good, both the 

 winners being most excellent, as were highly commended 

 (Unsworth). Geese and Turkci/s were all capital, but very few. 



Pigeons were more numerous than poultry. Pouters, however, 

 were poor to commence with. In Carriers a good lot, first went 

 to a slashing Dun, second was neat in eye and colour. Iu 

 Tumblers, first was good in head, beak, and colour; second, fair. 

 Long- faces we did not fancy. In Owls, foreign, first went to a 

 little gem of capital quality in head ; second also a good Pigeon, 

 as were several unnoticed birds. English Owls were very strong 

 and deserved more notice from the Judge. The winner was a 

 lovely Blue of great style and head qualities. Barbs were a very 



good lot, first being especially nice in sknll ; second neat Blacks. 

 Turbits were not so good throughout, but the winners were good 

 in head and colour. The first Jacobin had a capital mane, and 

 was rich in colour. Antwerps were a capital lot, some good 

 ones (Gamon and Eutwisle) being unnoticed. In Fantails, first 

 excellent in carriage; second capital in tail. Dragoons were 

 very numerous, and a grand lot indeed, though we should have 

 placed them different. In the variety class were good Ice, Mag- 

 pies, and Swallows, deserving more prizes.
