Brahmas, first Light, and second Darks. Spanish poor, but 

 the prize-winning Game good. In Hamburghs were a few 

 good birds, notably the first Gold-pencils. Bantams, first and 

 second Blacks. In the Variety class Gold Polish were first, 

 Black Hambnrghs second, and Guinea Fowls third. Bucks 

 nothing of special note except Messrs. Sylvester's birds of the 

 ornamenlal variety. 



Pigeons suffered much from exposure and were very difficult 

 to judge. Mr. Baker, taking the Show on his way from Bramley, 

 made the Show much better. Carriers, Mr. Baker was first 

 and third with well-known birds. Pouters, first Blacks, second 

 Whites, and third Blues, very good and well placed. Jacobins, 

 Bed, good in hood and chain properties, but rather low cut. 

 FantaUs a nice lot. Tumblers, first and third Almonds, and 

 second Whites. Dragoons, first and second Blues, and third 

 Silvers. In Turbits a local breeder had eleven entrieB, but Mr. 

 Baker ran away with the first with grand Silvers. In the 

 Variety, first were Trumpeters, second African wis, and third 

 Barbs

HORTON SHOW OP POULTRY, &c. 



The annual Show was held on the 5th Inst., and was in all 

 respects similar to its predecessors. Fortunately the weather 

 was much better than last year, and the birds being shown in 

 the open field this was very fortunate. 



Game were a moderate lot, the cup going to a pretty good 

 Black Red cock that has often won of late. Cockerel and pullet 

 Game were first Duckwings, and second Brown Reds ; the first 

 a nice well-grown pair. Spanish and Bantams pretty good. 

 The Blacks were first and second. Hamburghs were small 

 entries, but the birds very good. The cup given by Mr. Ackroyd 

 was awarded to a pen of Buff Cochins. 



Bigeons had more entries than poultry, the cup being awarded 

 to a Yellow Barb cock. Blacks won in Carriers. The cup birds 

 at.Saltaire were rightly left with only a commendation. Dragoons 

 — first Silver and second Blue. English wis a fair lot, Blues 

 winning. Turbits— firBt Silver and second Yellow, the latter 

 the best. Antwerps with six classes had only thirty-four entries, 

 which we look upon as very poor with £1 and 10s. as orizes in 

 each class ; the birds were, however, the pick of the Yorkshire 

 birds. The Variety class had twenty entries — first, a Mottled 

 Tumbler and second Red Jacobin. 



Babbits had three classes, with "twenty-four entries. Lops 

 were poor. Himalayans were very good. Pen 3 (highly com- 

 mended) was very small and young, but otherwise best. Any 

 other variety — first a young Silver-Grey buck, second an An- 

 gora. One Dutch was shown, and the rest were Angora and 

 Silver-Grey, the latter very good. Mr. Firth's well-known doe 

 was left out.

CLEVELAND SHOW OP POULTET, &c 



Tms Show was held at South Stockton on the 27th ult. in 

 connection with that of agriculture. The list was a fair one, 

 but other shows interfering the entries were not numerous. 

 As usual a tent was provided, and the pens were well arranged. 



Spanish were a fair lot. The first-prize Borhings were very 

 good ; and in Cochins were three splendid pens. In Game Red3 

 the winners were Brown Reds, and in single cocks first was a 

 capital Brown Red. Game Bantams, first very stylish Black Reds. 

 In Hamburghs first Gold-pencils very good, the Silvers only 

 moderate. Variety class first Malays, and second Houdans, the 

 latter very large.

OSWESTRY POULTRY SHOW. 



Under great patronage the OsweBtry Show was held this year 

 in Brogyntyn Park in a large tent. The pens were all on one 

 tier, and their inmates were well cared for, the birds coming from 

 a distance being speedily packed-up and dispatched at the close 

 of the Show. 



Game were as usual strong classes, and the quality was good, 

 though many birds were out of feather f om the time of year. 

 The Brown Reds were better than the Black Reds, a good pair 

 winning, the cock stylish and smart in head. The cock in the 

 third-prize pen was a good undubbed bird. In Duckwings a 

 smart pen was first, the cock good in shape and style ; good 

 chickens won third. Borhings mustered fairly; the first- prize 

 were a fine pair of dark birds, but the earlobes rather too 

 white ; the second-prize pen had a moderately good cockerel ; 

 26 (Darby) was empty. In variety Dorkings excellent Silver 

 chickens were first, the pullet a very promising bird ; second 

 also went to Silvers, the cock being of fine colour for the time 

 of year, though not a large bird ; 32 (Badger) empty. Partridge 

 Cochins only mustered two pens of moderate quality. In Buffs 

 the first cock waB very shapely, but rather pale on wing; his 

 companion was also good in shape, but had a very ugly comb. 

 Second went to well-grown chickens ; the pullet, however, 

 seemed loose in wing. The third cock was pale in colour, and 

 we liked either of the highly commended pens quite as well. 

 In the next Cochin cla3S good Blacks won first and second with 

 really very little between them. The first cock was a little high 

 in tail, and his hen not sufficiently leg-feathered. Third went 

 to Whites ; the cock the fine bird which won first at Bristol, 

 with a hen of much quality, but not very clean ; 41 (Boissier) a 

 moderate pen only. Spanish were only small in numbers ; first 

 and second good pens, but rather wrinkled in face ; third not 

 superior, and of bad colour in face. In Dark .Bra7!»!as we found 

 a good pullet in the second pen. Lights were good, and the 

 first were large and well feathered ; second went to capital 

 chickens ; third also a good pen, bnt the cock was too yellow. 

 In Pencilled Hamburghs a smart pen of chickens (Silvers) were 

 first. In Spangles Gold were first and third, Silvers second. 

 In Houdans the first were large, but the cock had a swollen toe; 

 68 (Naylor) empty; second prize went to forward chickens. In 

 the Variety class all the prizes went to White-crested Black 

 Polands, and capital pens they were. This well illustrates our 

 remark of last week, that the breed is rapidly gaining ground 

 in quality and popularity. The first cock was a gem ; he had 

 the most perfect crest for colour and shape possible, and was 

 in fine trim ; second were also good, but the cock rather 

 yellow in crest ; the third contained an exquisite hen with a 

 perfect crest. In Game Bantams a good pen of Brown Reds 

 won first, Black Reds of fair quality second, and Duckwings 

 third; while in the next class capital Silver-laced were first and
