HALIFAX SHOW OF POULTRY, &c 



The thirty-eighth annual Show was held on the 26th inst., 

 when the day was exceedingly fine and breezy and most enjoy- 

 able. 



Game headed the list in poultry, and these were single birds. 

 In Black Beds the cockerels were poor, but the pullets a better 

 lot ; but Brown Reds in both classes were superior to them, 

 and in Duckwing pullets were some very good pens ; but the 

 highest quality was attained in the Pile cockerels in the Variety 

 class, although these were not as well forward as some of the 

 above. Next of great interest were the Hamburghs, which were 

 a good lot ; the Gold-spangles, winners at Rochdale, taking the 

 cup for the best pen in the Show. Bantams were largest in 

 number, and the pick of the season came to the front, the Black 

 Reds being particularly good. 



Pigeons were shown as often recommended by us — singly, and 

 the entries were much greater than at previous shows, three of 

 the London giants contending for the premiership ; and exeite- 

 me nt was worked-up to a very high pitch in Carriers especially, 



where we saw more high-class birds in so small a group than 

 at any previous Show. The first was a Black cock, shown at 

 his best, and looking well in these pens, splendid in beak and 

 eye wattle, and grand in neck and Btyle, a point we oontend for 

 in Carriers. Dragoons were very good in both classes, as also 

 the foreign Owls ; and Jacobins and Fantails a smart lot.

WARMINSTER POULTRY SHOW. 



Tuts Exhibition was held on the 25th inst., and was an ex- 

 tremely satisfactory meeting. Mr. Hmton was indefatigable in 

 his work, and the arrangements were admirable. If all poultry 

 shows had such a Secretary there would very rarely be heard any 

 complaints, for the feeding, penning, and dispatch to the station 

 were all well done. The Judge was Mr. G. S. Sainsbury of 

 Devizes, who has judged this Show since its commencement, 

 and his awards were most carefully made and well received. 



In the first class the Houdan hen of pen 4 (Sturt) was dead 

 when she arrived. We viewed her body, and feel sure they 

 must have had first prize, for the winning Dorkings, though 

 large, were swollen in toes and out of feather. In the next class 

 White Cochins were first; the hen large and white, but the 

 cock a little out of feather. Capital adult Light Brahmas won 

 second, and neat chickens of the same breed third. Malays 

 were good, and were much superior to the Game in excellence. 

 A large pair of birds won first ; the hen was an adult, the other 

 a very promising and large cockerel. Fair Brown Reds were 

 second in this class, third going again to good Malay chickens. 

 In Bantams White-booted won first, Blacks second, and Black 

 Red Game third. In the Variety class a good pair of Silky 

 chickens were first, adult Silver Poles second ; the cock quite 

 young, and promising to come out of his moult a fine bird; and 

 very good White-crested Blacks third. The chicken claBS was 

 splendid; it contained twenty-three pens of great excellence, 

 and two firsts, two seconds, and two thirds were awarded, Very 

 forward and large White Cochin chickenB won one first, and 

 splendid Malays the other; good Light Brahmas and Creves 

 won the seconds, and Brown Leghorns and Dorkings the thirds. 

 We noticed here a most promising pair of White-crested Poland 

 chickens (Norwood) ; the cockerel is not quite ready yet, but of 

 much promise. 



Pigeons were very difficult to judge, for they were all classed 

 together, and the quality was very fine. The first Carriers were 

 very good in head properties and had smart carriage ; Becond 

 went to good Black Barbs, their beaks and eyes being very good; 

 third to admirable true Dragoons, but they had begun to moult, 

 and so their wing bars were not so prominent and perfect as they 

 might have been ; they were a very good pair, and deserved 

 their place; highly commended (Randall) good Burmese and 

 Red Barbs (Sugden). In Toys pretty Turbits (Red) were first, 

 but their pen was so small they did not appear to advan- 

 tage ; second fairly cleanly-cut Black Baldheads ; third very 

 promising baby Fantails. 



A fine pen of Gold Pheasants won first, and nicely marked 

 Guinea Fowls third. In birds ore of the most exquisite pairs 

 of Green Love Birds we ever saw took first, an Amazon Parrot 

 second, and a Yellow-backed Whydah in good feather third; 

 highly commended (MisB J. Hinton) an Amazon Parrot, which 

 talked splendidly, but was perhaps not quite in so full feather as 

 the second-prize one. We furnish the awards below.
