MONTROSE POULTRY AND PIGEON SHOW. 



There was a large number of entries, and amongst them many 

 good birds. 



Dorkings came first in the prize list, and a very poor lot they 

 ^ere — only two entries forward, and these only fair. Spanish 

 were a better class both in merit and numbers, and were not 

 difficult to judge. Nest came Cochins, which formed the best 

 class in the Show, and contained several pens of great escel- 

 lence, but what the Judge was tbiukiug about when he gave his 

 awards we cannot imagine. First were a pair of old and ugly 

 birds ; once upon a time they may have been good, but their 

 day had long gone. Second were, we understand, Whites, but 

 as there was no second-prize card put up we cannot be positive. 

 If however, the birds named were second, and they were the 

 only Whites in the class, the decision was of a piece with the 

 first. The best pen by far was the third, Mrs. Duncan's, which 

 contained a good cockerel and a fine old hen ; second we would 

 have put Mrs. Stevens's highly commended pen, third Mrs. 

 Duncan's highly commeaded pen. The judgment was simply 

 inexplicable, and to add to it the first-prize pair won a special 

 over a really fine pair of Brahmas in nest class. Here the Judge 

 seemed to have awoke from his deep sleep and the class was 

 well done. First a good large cock and fine hen ; second a nice 

 youDg pair; third good hen, cock just fair. Gavie were good and 

 the awards correct. First a fioe pair of Brown Reds, second 

 same colour but coarser. Polands were a good class, nearly all 

 Golden. First were a grand pair, but there was no lack of 

 quality in this class, which is so seldom honpured with a separate 

 classification. Hamhurghs were very numerous, and in most 

 cases were fairly judged. Silver-spangled were the best lot, 

 and the winner being very fine. Golden-spangled first, a very 

 bad pen ; cock like a Dorking in shape with a very bad comb, the 

 worst pen in the class. Game Bantams were a very large class, 

 and many good birds had to put up with a bare notice. First 

 came a pen of Mr. Brownlie's Piles ; second a pen of very stylish 

 Black Keds; third also Black Reds and good ones. There 

 could be no doubt as to this class being well judged. Sebrights 

 were however, as far wrong. First Silver contained a cock 

 with'a very bad comb; the best by far were a pen of Creamies, 

 pen 41 (Dallas.) The nest class was to all intents and purposes 

 a Black Bantam one, though meant for any variety. First 

 were a good pen of Blacks, though we have seen far better 

 belonging to the same owner. Second and third also Black. 

 The Spelling classes held some eood birds, notably the first-prize 

 cockerel (Polish.) Aylesbury Ducks only mustered three pens, 

 but those good ; while fine Rouens won the Duck variety class. 

 There was nothing of note amongst the Geese and Turkeys. 



Pigeons. Here we were glad to note an improvement in the 



classification of the Pouters, and a consequently more numerous 

 entry as well as a great advance in quality. Pouter cocks had 

 eleven esbibits : first a grand bird but of a bad colour (Red) ; se- 

 cond also Red, but though a good one also deficient in that point ; 

 they were however undoubtedly the best birds. Third went to 

 a fair Mealy. Pouter hens were headed by a nice Black, which 

 also won the special for best bird in the first five classes. Second 

 a stylish Blue, third Black. Young Pouters numbered eight; 

 first was a good Red hen, a stylish bird with a nice pair of legs ; 

 second White (cock) with as good a pair of well-set-on legs as 

 any Pouter in the Show. Carriers were not very numerous, 

 but we certainly liked the second, a grand Black hen far before 

 first a bad-coloured Duu cock, but we understand the Judges 

 thought the former a cock also. Barbs were.escept the first, 

 only middlin"-; there however were really good Yellows. 

 Tumblers, first Kites and we think two hens ; second, Red 

 Agates, the cock very wry-beaked ; third, Almonds, a good pair, 

 well-coloured cock, hen bad in that respect, but both good heads. 

 Highly commended were nice Yellow Agates. CommonTumblers 

 were fair; third was best had they been m order, but one bird 

 was very ill. Fantails were, escept two pens, bad; first were 

 a nice pair but not up to the third, though we must confess 

 they were a better match. Jacobins, Turbits, and Trumpeters 

 were not very numerous nor the quality first-rate. English
