Babbits Lad four classes, that of Lopa being good, the first- 

 and-extra for the best going to a Toitoisesheli buck, evidently 

 young, but of grand style and carriage, 22J by dg ; hard run by a 

 Black doe, 21* by-1'. No. 13 (Schoheld), Fawu-and-white, was 

 225 by il, but in very bad order, many others measuring weU-up 

 to these lengths. Himalayans were only moderate in quality. 

 Angoras were very good; the first a grand Eabbit in both wool 

 and size. In the Vaiiety class the firbt was a pretty good Silver- 

 Grey, and second a Blue Dutch. Several other Silver-Greya 

 were nice and even in the colour, but some too dark on head.

DERBY SHOW OP POULTRY, &c. 



The annual Show was held at Derby on Saturday and Monday 

 in the Corn Exchange, the Drill Hall, where the light is much 

 better, not being available, and in consequence the Rabbit 

 section was dispensed with. The Committee is one of most 

 determined workers, and everything was well managed, and 

 Messrs. Spratt'a representative having the superintendence of 

 the feeding the birds were well seen to, and the number of 

 entries a high compliment to the skill and management of the 

 Society. Turner's pens were used. Unfortunately some pens 

 were empty, the birds having been miscarried by the railway 

 company. There were 2tJ2 entries in poultry in fourteen classes 

 and 18U of Pigeons in eight classes, while the Cage Birds were 

 358 in fifty-seven classes : the total being 800. 



Coc7ii)i.s headed the list and were just a fair class, the first 

 going to very high-coloured Buffs, second to Partridge, and third 

 to Buffs. Dark Brahmas were one of the best classes in the 

 Show, the prizes going to old birds, the hens in which pens were 

 splendid in pencilling; the first-prize cock a little white on fluff 

 but a grand shape. There were some grand pullets shown by 

 Mr. Holmes, but the cockereln were not equal to them. Light 

 Brahmas were also very good, but the extra was won by the 

 Dark. The whole of tht.se were placed on the ground and were 

 difficult to see. Game, Black Reds were not good as a class, 

 although the winners were pretty correct iu style and colour. 

 Brown Reds a grand class. All the winners were chickens; 

 first and second dubbed but the third undubbed, the whole about 

 perfect though young. Iu single Game cocks the first was an 

 adult Black Red, very rich in colour and close and hard in 

 feather; second a Brown Red chicken, scarcely well from dub- 

 bing, full of style and quality ; the third a Black Red chicken. 

 Haynburghs were mixed classes, the Pencils coming first ; and 

 iu this class Golden were placed first and third, with Silver 

 second, the extra for Hamburghs going to the Hanley wiuners. 

 Iu Spangles first were Silvers, about perfect in all respects but 

 that the" cock's legs were pale, but these had evidently been 

 washed, showing at any rate honesty of purpose on the part of 

 the exhibitor. Golden won both the other prizes, and they were 

 very good. Bantams, Game were both numerous and good. 

 First a good stylish pair of Black Beds ; second Brown Reds, 

 perfect but rather light in eye ; and third Black Reds also. The 

 next was a rather curious class, Duckwing and Pile being pitched 

 against the Blacks, Sebrights, and Whites. A splendid pen of 

 Sebrights, however, won and took the medal; also very pretty 

 Blacks second, and Piles third. Iu single cocks of any breed 

 first was a well-known Silver-spangle, second Spanish, and third 

 Dorking. In the Variety for pairs the first were a slashing pen 

 cf Gold Polands, second Crcve-Cccurs, and third Black Ham- 

 burghs. Many v.h.c. were marked. The Selling classes were 

 large, but we iailed to recognise any great desire to part with 

 good birds, 



Pjjco/ts came next; the Carriers a large class, but with the 

 exception of those marked they were poor : first was a smart 

 Black cock; second a Dun, better but in low condition; and 

 third a smart Dun hen. In Pouters first was an exquisite Blue 

 hen ; and second a Blue cock, a little bishoped but otherwise 

 good. Dragoons a heavy class, the winners as also several others 

 very good. First a Yellow, second Blue, and third Yellow ; a 

 grand Silver very highly commended. Fantails also a stiff lot 

 and a perfect puzzle, the first and second Whites and third Blue. 

 Turbits an immense class and many perfect birds ; first a Blue 

 cock, second a Yellow, and third a Silver hen. Tumblers were 

 a fair lot ; first an Almond, second Red Agate, and third a Kite. 

 The Variety class was a show iu itself of thirty-seven entries, 

 the first going to a grand Russian Trumpeter, second to a White 

 African Owl, third to a Spansled Ice, and extra third to a Grey 

 Frillback. In the Selling class there were some good birds; 

 first a Yellow Dragoon, second a Black Carrier, and third a 

 Spangled Ice. . , ^ ■, 



Cage Birds were in two sections— viz., one for members and 

 the other for open competition, both being well supported, nine 

 point prizes being carried off by Messrs. Judge, Whittaker, 

 Orme, Woodward, and Bunting. In the local classes the Nor- 

 wich birds were very numerous. In Clear I'ellow the first was 

 a good bird all round. Pen 11, however, we preferred for second 

 to No. 7. Buffs were also good in both size and colour. The 

 marked and variegated classes produced some very good speci- 

 mens, the heavily variegated being grand classes, and as such 

 these ought to be had iu all schedules. In the Crested birds 

 Mr. Woodward won all before him, leaving no chance for others, 

 these being a splendid stud. Lizards were not numerona, and
