JOUENAL OF HOBTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GAKDENEE. 



[ December 30, 1876. 



Owla were the reverse, being extra fine. Nans and Magpies 

 were good; while in the Variety first went to Foreign Owls, 

 second to Archangels, and third to Ice. We published the 

 awards last week. 



BELFAST SHOW OF POULTRY, &c. 



The North of Ireland Ornithological Society's Show was held 

 in the Ulster Hall on the 15th and 10th inst. This place is well 

 chosen for the purpose, and the Show was well managed by a 

 stafT of thorough fanciers. The entries were in advance of those 

 of last year, and the quality was good in all the sections. The 

 pens were supplied by Messrs. Turner of Sheffield. 



Dorkings headed the Hat, and these, and most others, were 

 shown singly, the Dark Greys being very good, as also the Silvers, 

 the cocks being especially good. In Buff Cochin cocks there 

 were some grand birds ; the winners were of this year. Hens 

 were even better, and very uniform in quality. In cocks the 

 cup was won by the Buff priced at £5 in the catalogue ; and in 

 hens a grand old White was awarded the piece of plate. Par- 

 tridge cocks were very good. Dark Brahma cocks were very 

 good; but of the rest both Dark and Light little can be said, 

 the Lights being positively poor. In Spanish were some good 

 birds, the first-and-cup cockerel one of the best seen this season ; 

 second also good; third an aged bird. In hens a most extra- 

 ordinary bird wasplaced iirst; the second a grand pullet. Game 

 were not numerous, but the winners good, the cup going to a 

 capital Pile cock. Euudans were a fair lot; the La FVche 

 very fine, and won the cup. In Hamhiirrjhs the Golden-pencils 

 and Spangles were much better than the Silvers, the cup going 

 to a most perfect pen of Pencils, closely pressed by another pen 

 of that variety. These were all in pairs, as also the French 

 and all the Bantams. Game Bantams were poor except the 

 winners, the Blacks being extremely good— better, in fact, than 

 any we have seen this year. In the Variety Sebrights were 

 the winners. Malays were very good, and the Polands also. 

 In the Variety class the Black Hamburghs and Guinea Fowls 

 were the winners. Both the Selling classes were very large, 

 and there were some good cheap birds. The Rouen Ducks were 

 a fine lot, but the Aylesburys not so good. In the Variety 

 class first were Mandarins, second Spotted Bills, and third 

 Garolinas. 



Pigeons were a grand display, and were placed in a separate 

 part of the Hall. The show of Pouters and Carriers being one of 

 the best seen this season, the members' classes contributing birds 

 of high quality, and in many of the standard classes almost 

 every bird was noticed. The Short-faced Tumblers and Barbs 

 were not numerous, and the Bed .lacobins not as good as we 

 expected to find; but the Yellow, Black, and White Jacobins 

 were most splendid classes, amoug which it would be almost 

 difficult to particularise. Trumpeters were very good, the com- 

 bination of feet-feathering with rose and crest, so long desired, 

 seem to be on the point of attainment. There were some very 

 good Fantails, the Blues being uncommonly good for that 

 colour. Owls, English, were very good, and the winners Blue. 

 Turbits of both classes were really good, a Silver winning the 

 cup. The Nuns were perfect. Dragoons and Antwerps very 

 good also, and well placed. There were some heavy Selling 

 classes, with the quality of which we were not particularly 

 struck, though many pens sold very well.
