DOEEING POULTRY SHOW. 



The sixteenth annual Show was held on the IGth inst. The 

 ohject of the Society seems to bo exclusively for the encourage- 

 ment of breedeisof Dcrkiups, there being sixteen clasees devoted 

 to them and only five to other varieties. In foiir of the Dorliiug 

 classes and a Selling class the competition was open to all 

 England ; the remaining classes were confined to the town and 

 immediate vicinity of Dorking. "We have often spoken in 

 favour oi local shows as being an inducement to amateur exhibi- 

 tors, but we fear that a show so thoroughly exclusive must tend 

 to give a wrong impression of the qualifications of prize-winners, 

 as many birds placed in the prize list there would have passed 

 unnoticed in our smallest shows. We, therefore, recommend 

 the Society to extend the competilion to twenty miles instead of 

 twelve — or why not to all Surrey? as we feel sure there would be 

 a marked improvement in the birds exhibited. 



In the class of old birds the covapetition was very close be- 

 tween Messrs. Burnell and Parlett. "We preferred the cock in 

 the pen exhibited by Mr. Parlett, as he was shorter in the legs 

 and better in shape than the winner, but he was mated with a 

 hen very crooked in the breast, which, doubtless, turned 

 the scales; in other points we considered her very good. The 

 others were far behind and the third prize withheld. In the 

 cockerel and pullet class Mr. Burnell was first and second with 

 very grand birds, but we thought the cup should have been 

 given for the pen of young birds in preference to the old. In 

 the cockerel and pairs of pullets Mr. Burnell was an easy 

 winner, his pullets being a charmiug pair and excellently 

 matched. In the local class for coloured cock and hen over 

 one year Mr. G. Ellis was first, and obtained the cup with a fair 

 cock matched with a large hen, a little white in the lobe, other- 

 wise good. In the remaining pens of the Coloured class there 

 were no birds of any pretension. Blue-speckled Cuckoo Dork- 

 ing. — In this class Mr. Griffin was first (cup) with a really good 

 pen. "We were extremely plea'ed with the hens, and they were 

 quickly claimed for ii5. Mr. Young was first in the class for 

 pairs of pullets or hens with a beairtiful pair of hens sound 

 in colour, well marked, and nicely matched. Whites were a 

 moderate lot, with the exception of a nice pen exhibited by Mr. 

 Mew. In the Game class wo saw nothing worthy of notice. 

 The Ducks, Geese, and Turkeys were a very creditable collection 

 to a show of such dimensioDs. 



The Committee and ofiicers appeared to thoronghly under- 

 stand their business, and we feel sure they would be equal to an 

 exhibition on a larger scale.
