BROUGHTY FERRY POULTRY AND PIGEON 

 SHOW. 



This Exhibition was held on the 3rd and 4th inst. in the 

 Templar's Hall, Bronghty Ferry, a place well Buited to the pur- 

 pose. The entries numbered between three and four hundred, 

 and the quality in most instances was very good. 



Dorliing cocks headed the list, and were strong in numbers 

 as well as quality, as was attested by the numerous notices given 

 by the Judge. First went to a massive dark bird; while second, 

 a fine Silver-Grey, certainly merited its position. Hens were 

 a small class, only the winners good. Cochins were large 

 classes. In cocks first went to a good young cockerel ; but 

 second, a really splendid bird, we liked much better. First in 

 hens went to a large Buff ; "White second ; third a fine Buff hen. 

 Brahnias were fairly represented, the first in cocks going to an 

 exceedingly large bird; the others very moderate. A good and 

 large well- pencilled hen was first in her class ; while second 

 was good colour and clear in marking, but not remarkable other- 

 wise. Game cocks were a large class, mostly Brown Reds, the 

 winners being all that colour and all fine stylish birds. In 

 Game hens first was unmistakeably a grand Brown Eed. Sam- 

 hurghs were numerous and very good, the winners being well 

 placed. Spanish a small class, and only fair to middling. The 

 Variety class was well filled. First grand Groves ; second good 

 Brown Leghorns; third a fine pen of Golden Polish. Ducks 

 were a good class; first fine young Rouens, second large 

 Aylesburys. Game Bantams were a really grand class, as may 

 be imagined when Mr. Brownlie could just manage to win and 

 no more. First was a fine Pile ; while second and third were 

 splendid Black Reds. A nice Pile of Mr. Brownlie's unnoticed; 

 while Nos. 134 (J. D. Donald), 130 (J. Grieve), and lU (J. Scott), 

 were good. In Game Bantam hens first was a good Pile, second 

 Black Red, third Duckwing; while the highly commended 

 birds were not far behind. In Any other variety Bantams first 

 and second were stylish Blacks ; third Silver Sebrights. 



Pigeons were in a separate room, and shown in single rows 

 in bee-hive pens. Pouters had nineteen entries in three classes ; 

 several good birds amongst them, still the standard was not 

 up to last year's. The special in this class was won by a nice 

 Black cock, but wanting in crop. Carriers were few but first- 

 rate, the winner a hen. Barbs, first a fine Black; second Yellow, 

 and also good. Short- faced Tumblers, first a nice Almond cock; 

 second Agates; third, a Red, we thought a mistake, as an Agate 

 next it was far better. Trumpeters, first and special went to a 

 fine Black, new style; second and third good Mottles of the 

 same. Fantails were an extra fine class. First and second were 

 undoubtedly good ; but third might have given place to half a 

 dozen others in the class. Jacobins were well judged; first a 

 good Yellow. Turbits or Owls, first a grand foreign White; 

 second good English; third a Red Turbit. Any other variety, 

 first one of the best Swallows ever seen; second a poor Black 

 Nun ; third a Silver Dragoon. The last two awards we did not 

 agree with, as a Yellow Magpie and an Ice were both preferable. 



In common Tumblers the prizes went to Almond, whole-coloxired 

 Red and Black Beard. 



Mr. Leno judged the poultry, and Mr. A. Frame the Pigeons, 

 and gave general satisfaction.

SWINDON AND NORTH WILTS POULTRY SHOW. 



We found ourselves at New Swindon on Thursday last in the 

 Drill Hall, and the Show delighted us. The poultry comprised 

 453 pens, IPigeona 302, and et-ceteras with dogs pulled up the 

 numbers to 1185. When we consider that the Society is in a 

 state of babyhood — that the Birmingham Show was also going 

 on, which of course attracted birds and breeders — we felt sure 

 the Swindon people must last year have gained the confidence 

 of the public to do so very well on this occasion. The quality 

 was good throughout, and the arrangements also capital. Mr. 

 Martin judged the poultry and Rabbits, and did his work in a 

 thoroughly efficient manner, while Mr. P. H. Jones as success- 

 fully adjudicated on the Pigeons. The pens were those of 

 Turner's, and they were kept clean and well covered with coarsely 

 cut chaff. The attendants were courteous, and looked well to 

 the welfare of the birds in every way. 



Dorkings were very good. The cup for the best pen in the 

 Show was awarded to the first-prize pen, which was a just and 

 good award. The birds were rich in colour and large. Second 

 and third contained good pens of adult Coloured. Cochins were 

 very good. The first Buffs a splendid pair of chickens and well 

 first ; second and third were, however, good pens and well 

 placed. In the other Cochin class all the prizes went to Whites, 

 the first being very good, the hen especially splendid in fluff 

 and shape. Second and third good pens of old birds, the cooks 

 being better than the hens. Brahmas were good, the Lights 

 the largest class. In Darks a beautiful cockerel with a splendid 

 hen was first, the latter being really good iu shape and fluff. In 

 Lights the best-shaped cockerel was in the cottagers' pen, but 

 his hackle was so yellow from some cause or other that the 

 Judge could not place him in the open prize list. The noticed 

 birds were all good, and winning was not easy. Spanish were 

 capital, the winners nice chickens ; second going to old birds. 

 French made large classes, the winning Houdans good in comb 

 and even in colour. CrOves preponderated in the next class, 

 adults coming to the front, being shown in good feather. Game 

 were a very smart lot, the Brown Reds a very nice collection. 

 In Black Reds the winners were well chosen. In the Variety 

 Game class Duckwings of very fair quality were first and second, 

 and the third was awarded to a nice pen of Piles. We saw a 

 pen of Whites but they were heavy and coarse, and did not get
