HALIFAX AND CALDER-VALE POULTRY SHOW. 
THIS Show was held at Halifax on the 31st ult., and was the 
fortieth Show held at that place. The entries in poultry and 
Pigeons were much larger than in any previous year. 
Game headed the list with Black Red cockerels, the first and 
second were very good, the rest very poor; but, on the con- 
trary, the pullet class was good, the first being a very correct bird 
in all respects. Brown Red cockerels were bad, but the pullets 
very good. Duckwing cockerels were a fair lot, but pullets were 
also better in this case, the first a good one in all respects. Pile 
cockerels were young but promising; the best of this variety 
was the first-prize pullet. Spanish had only three entries, but the 
winners were about perfect. Dorkings five entries, and very good. 
Cochins very good, and in fine order; the cup for the best pen in 
the Show, Game or Game Bantams excepted, was awarded to a 
pen of Buffs, to which we preferred the Partridge or Spanish. 
In Brahmas first were Dark and second Light. Hamburghs were 
good, and mostly in fine feather. Game Bantams competed with 
the large Game for a cup and were a much better section, almost 
every bird being good, the cup going to a most perfect Black Red 
cockerel in full feather. 
Pigeons numbered 290 as against 80 entries last year, nor did the 
quality fail in the least when considered in proportion, the ex- 
hibits proving so good that very few were leit unnoticed. Pouter 
cocks headed the list with some good birds, the cup in the first 
section being awarded to a Blue Pouter cock. Carrier cocks were 
a grand lot, first and second Blacks and third Duns, and the whole 
class highly commended. In hens first and third were Blacks and 
second Dun, and these were quite equal to the cocks. In Barbs 
first was a Black cock, and one of the best young birds we have 
seen in real back properties ; the second, also Black, was close 
upon the first. Tumblers (Almond) were also good, the first hen 
and second cock a very close run; the third also a good hen. 
Short-faces of any other variety were—first a nice Yellow Bald, 
second Red Mottle, and third an Agate. 
there were three classes, there were some very good birds, while 
others were quite as wide of the true standard of a Dragoon. 
Jacobins were very good ; first and third Red, and second Yellow, 
the cup for this section being awarded here. Turbits were divided 
into two classes, and were very good, although many failed in the 
style of spike, which in many cases was set on far too low. 
English Owls were provided with four classes, but many of the 
best birds were quite ragged in moult, and not fit to be shown, 
the cup for the third section going to a Blue hen of rare quality 
of head properties. Antwerps were very numerous and good, but 
some of the pens were empty, and not a few in moult, the cup 
being awarded to the best Short-faced Silver Dun we have yet 
seen. Magpies and Swallows.—First a Black Swallow, as also the 
cup for the section; the second and third Magpies. Long-faced 
Tumblers were mostly Mottles,and Trumpeters poor. The Selling 
class was very good, some of the birds being quite equalin merit.

SHOW OF THE OXFORD ORNITHOLOGICAL 
SOCIETY. 
TuIs Society held its annual Show of young Pigeons, bred by 
the members, on Tuesday the 3rd, in the Corn Exchange, Oxford. 
We have before given our opinion that such societies and such 
shows do much good. The prizes are almost nominal in yalue, 
and the members hold a friendly contest for comparison of their 
birds, shown Lond fide as Nature made them. There were in all 
thirty-seven classes, though unfortunately some of them had no
