[ November 2, 1876. 



ranch trouble, and apparently puzzled them in the end, for the 

 first award was most unsatisfactory ; it went to a " Black Arch- 

 angel " so called, in reality we believe a cross between an Arch- 

 angel and some other breed. A pair of these birds were shown 

 at .Reading last year and won. A large exhibitor claimed them, 

 but finding out his mistake was, we heard, glad to be quit of his 

 bargain. Second a fine Black Trumpeter, new type; third a 

 Spangled Ice. Some lovely Archangels and one or two fair 

 Austrian Puuters were in this class. 



There were two Selling classes for single birds, value respec- 

 tively under 60s. and under 30s. 



The Judges for Pigeons were Messrs. Esquilant and Jones, 

 who were busied at their labours nearly twelve hours. The 

 wonder is that the Show was bo carefully and, on the whole, so 

 satisfactorily judged.

SOUTHWELL POULTRY, &c, SHOW. 



The twenty-first annual Show of the Agricultural Society was- 

 held at Southwell on the 21th inst. The poultry Show in con- 

 nection seemed to be an important portion. A good tent was- 

 provided, and Turner's pens were used, and the whole Show 

 waB well conducted, the Secretaries never leaving their post for 

 any purpose. 



Game (which headed the list and which in times gone by had 

 their especial home in this district), were very badly represented, 

 the class for Reds presenting nothing that fairly deserve special 

 notice. In the next class first were Piles ; and except that the 

 cock was very thick and short in head, they were good, the rest 

 being Duckwings. Cochins (Buff) were very good, the whole of 

 the prizes falling to one yard. First and second to old, and third 

 to young birds. The next class was not so good, although the 

 winners were fair specimens. First and third Partridge, and 

 second Whites. In Dorkings first and second were Dark, and 

 third Silver-Greys. Creve-Cceurs a moderate class, some of 

 the hens very good in head. Houdans a very good class, and* 

 all noticed in the list. Strange to say Hamburghs had but one 

 class, the first going to a very neat pen of Blacks ; second to 

 Gold-pencils, the pullet in which was particularly good in mark- 

 ing, but the cock a little faulty in comb; the third Silver- 

 spangles. In the Variety class first were Spanish chickens, as 

 also the third ; Gold Polish being placed second, theBe not- 

 being in full feather; but the hen particularly good in ground 

 colour and marking. Game Bantams were the two best classes of 

 the Show, the Reds being particularly good. First Black Reds, 

 second Brown Beds, not up in feather bnt very good in colour, 

 face, and eye ; and third Black Reds, the pullet a little rusty on 

 wing but very Btylish. In the next claEs most were Piles, but 

 first and third were Duckwings ; the first very stylish andgamey, 

 but not equal to the third in colour, the latter, however, being 

 so far apart in colour of leg destroyed the chance of first, al- 

 though if put singly these would quite walk in in such oom- 

 petilion. The next class contained nothing special, if we except 

 the winners, which were fir6t and third Booted, and seoond 

 Black. Crosa-bred fowls brought out birds quite to our idea — 

 viz., Bhort legs, long heels, and broad backs, and of great size,, 

 and from the Creve and Brahma cross. Ducks good in both 

 classes. The Selling claBs waB very good, first Creve-Coeur 

 pullets fit for any competition; second Buff Cochins; third 

 Spinish pullets; fourth Duckwing Game pullets. 



Pigeons had but eight classes, and the prizes poor. In 

 Carriers first a Dun cock ; second a Dun hen ; and third a Black 

 cock. Pouters nothing of note except the first-prize Bins; 

 Dragoons, good, the prize falling all to one loft; and Fantails 

 also a good lot, the first one of the best we have seen of late. 

 In Turbits, firBt was a small neat Silver hen; and second a 

 Yellow cock. English Owls very poor except the first, and Ant- 

 werps bad except the first Red Chequer and second Long-faced 

 Blue Chequer. The Variety class was a good one in all respects, 

 and duplicate prizes were given in the standards to an Almond, 

 Barb, and Agate, and in others to a Pigmy Pouter, Spangled Ice, 

 Swallow, and Blondinette.
