STAMFOED POULTEY SHOW. 



The Northamptonshire Agricultural Society is erratic in its 

 movements, like others of the same genus. We have followed 

 It from Weedon to Kettering, and thence to Northampton, and 

 now tbia year wo find the tents pitched and the flags flyiix^ in 

 Burghley Park, near Stamford. The schedule since last season 

 has been entirely revised and much more money spent upon it 

 Still we doubt if all the changes are desirable ; for instance, we 

 tind all the Game, Cochins, Brahmas, and Hamburgbs classed 

 in groups irrespective of colours. It is true each group has four 

 classes, two for adults and two for chickens; but at this season 

 of the year old birds must appear at a disadvantage, and it is not 

 fair for all colours of Cochins or all varieties of Brahmas to com- 

 pete together. Mr. Teebay awarded the prizes, and his awards 

 were very favourably received. The classes were mostly well 

 tiled, and the meeting on ;he whole an unusually successful one 



Co oured Dorktnijs were very good. The adult cocks were 

 mostly out of feather, except the first-prize bird ; ho was excel- 

 lent, and deserved his place. Cockerels were a nice lot. The 

 Dorking cup fell to a very fine hen in capital condition and 

 feather. Pullets were also a pretty lot. White Dorkings did 

 not muster weU; the winners were, however, worthy specimens. 

 Game made four most interesting classes. The old cocks were 

 for the most part losing their feathers. The cockerels were 

 good. A very forward and nicely-dubbed Duckwing won the 

 "n^' «,, , ^"^ and pullets formed two capital classes, especi- 

 ally the latter. We were altogether much pleased with the 

 young Game classes at this Show. Spanish were moderate ; the 

 lady element much superior to the gentlemen. The cup fell to 

 a grand old hen in good order. The winning pullet must have 

 however, pressed closely on her. Second and third also good! 

 Cochins were good classes, but the old cocks were also in deep 

 moult. In cockerels a good Partridge was first, and as vet a 

 rare but most promising White second. In hens a fine White 

 was first-and-cup, the same bird that we noticed at St. Ives we 



beUeve. The Cochin pullets too were a pretty lot. The second 

 White was extremely good in all points, and third an admirable 

 Partridge. Brahmas were a grand collection. Mr. Lingwood, 

 in reply to our appeal from Birmingham as to where he could 

 possibly be, here responded, and won the Brahma cup and all 

 the four Brahma first prizes. There were other good birds in 

 these classes, and Mr. Long sent some capital Lights, but aU 

 were far behind the Creeling team. The Brahma pullets were, 

 however, certainly a very remarkable lot, and we noticed many 

 birds worthy of prizes. Bamhurghs were fairly represented, 

 considering the insult they received by the classification. This 

 no doubt kept many of our Hamburgh breeders away, but, as 

 we have before stated, we can never rely on a good exhibition of 

 this breed far away from the north. A nice Silver spangled won 

 the cup. We notice Mr. Leno's name in these classes, and wel- 

 come him as a fresh addition to the midland Hamburgh exhi- 

 bitors, and hope he will be a permanency. Mr. Long showed a 

 good cockerel in smart condition, and Messrs. Faulkner and 

 Judsou had some well-marked Golden-pencils. The Bantams 

 were good, but beyond the winners nothing calls for much 

 notice. The Silver-laced were finely-marked birds, and we 

 noticed some good Blacks and a very pretty pen of White- 

 booted. The Any other variety classes were splendid, and the 

 entries numerous. Cri'ves won the lion's share of the prizes, 

 including the cup and all the four firsts. We were glad to find 

 them so looking up. The second, Silver Poland cock, was also 

 a fine bird. The Houdans here present were not quite so good 

 as usual, we fancied, though Mr. Dring sent two or three very 

 good pens. Geese and Turkeys were very fine classes. It is 

 some time since we saw better specimens of young birds at 

 agricultural shows. Ducks were also very good, the Ayleaburys 

 especially. The ducklings were most promising, and the com- 

 petition iu Aylesburys unusually severe. 



Pigeons were not largd classes. We think they would pay for 

 being better classified, and the Pouters and Carriers more sub- 

 divided, but this Show seems to be great in making all the 

 colours and varieties of the different breeds stand on their own 

 merits, the one against the other, which in many cases ia a 

 most unwise proceeding. Mr. Yardley sent a very lai'ge collec- 

 tion of good birds, and took home a dozen prizes. The Carriers, 

 Pouters, and Fantails were perhaps the best classes, though 

 among the Toys, the winning Nuns, Jacobins, and Turbits were 

 good specimens. We publish full list of awards below.
