CUPAR POULTRY SHOW. 



The second Exhibition of the above Society was held in the 

 Corn Exchange, Cupar, a place well adapted to the purpose, on 

 the 23rd and 24th inst. The entries were much more numerous 

 than formerly, and the quality in all classes vastly improved. 



There were two classes for Dorkings — viz., for Silver-Greys 

 and Any other colour. In the former a pair of large and good 

 Coloured birds won, and well deserved their place, while second 

 and third were also nice. In the latter all the prizes went to 

 Darks. The first-prize pen contained a splendid cockerel with 

 a fair hen ; second a fine hen, but cock not so good ; third fairly 

 nice birds. Spanish were an extra good class. The first, a 

 grand cock and exceedingly stylish pullet, were claimed at the 

 catalogue price, i'lO, and not dear either; second not quite bo 

 fine, but still anything but bad; third also good. Bralimas, 

 first went to a very tidy pair of birds ; second a nicish cock, but 

 too leggy, with a hen of the same stamp, still we think them 

 properly placed ; third we would have placed Mr. W. G. D uncau's 



highly commended birds, a fine hen, but cock by no means first- 

 rate, still better than the thiid-prize winners. Scotch Greys 

 were not numerous, only five pens putting in an appearance. 

 Cochins, the winners were first and second Buffs, all really fine; 

 best hen in first pen, best cock in second ; third Whites. Nothing 

 else near the winners. Spangled Harnhnrghs were a large and 

 good lot. First and second were Silver-spangled, and good ones 

 too, their only fault being imperfect in comb ; third were Golden, 

 and we suppose that was the reason thoy were third, as there 

 were better Silvers in the class, notably Mr. Park's highly com- 

 mended pen. Pencilled reversed the matter, all the prizes 

 being won with Golden. First a finely pencilled hen with a 

 good cock, though his comb is a little on the small side ; second 

 and third very near them, while highly commended (Mr. Lock- 

 hart) was but little behind. The next class was for chickens of 

 the following varieties — viz., Dorkings, Brahmas, Scotch Greys, 

 and Cochins. Easily first came Dark Dorkings, a magnificent 

 pair ; while a nice pen of Brahmas and fair Cochins were second 

 and third. The Variety class for young birds contained the 

 usual mixture. First were a really grand pen of CrO.ves, second 

 fine Spanish, third Golden Polands. Game came next; Black 

 Reds first. In this class nothing striking turned up, but in the 

 next, Brown Reds, the first-prize pen was first-rate, the hen an 

 especially fine bird; second very little behind ; and third birds 

 which were quite worthy of their position. All the prizes in the 

 Game Variety class were won by Duckwings. Game Bantavis 

 Black Red) were a fine lot. First a good cock and still better 

 hen ; second and third well placed. Brown Reds after the last 

 class seemed poor, still they were better than usual. In the 

 other Variety Game Bantams Mr. Brownlie won with one of his 

 well-known Piles. In the Variety poultry class first went to 

 magnificent Golden Polands, second to fine Black Hamburghs, 

 third Silkies. 



Aylesbury Duclis contained some nice birds, but only the 

 winners were right as to bills, all the rest touched with yellow, 

 Rouena were better, and the prize birds were extra good. The 

 Selling classes contained a large number of birds, many of which 

 found purchasers. 



Pigeons. — "White Pouters had four entries only, the first nearly 

 up to the mark, and the same may be said of the next lot, in 

 which the first Black were the only birds worth mentioning. 

 Fantails, only four entries, were the best class in the Show 

 of Pigeons as far as quality goes, but certainly second was the 

 worst pen of the lot. Tumblers, first were fair Kites, two hens 

 we think; second Almonds, third Agates. Variety class, first 

 Foreign Owls, second Blue Turbits, third wretched Barbs, 

 highly commended fair Turbiteeus and Yellow Magpies. Mr. 

 Hutton judged both poultry and Pigeons.
