457 pens. The Bermondsey Working Men's Club is no donbt 

 admirably adapted for the purpose for which it was built ; it 

 consists of two rooms, about 40 by 40 feet each, the lower room 

 contains a billiard and bagatelle table, and is fitted with a small 

 bar at which cups of tea and coffee are retailed at a very reason- 

 able rate to the members. About fifty pens were arranged 

 around the wall of this room, and could be comfortably seen ; the 

 remainder were transferred from their baskets to the pens in the 

 upper room. To call it an exhibition would be absurd ; the birds 

 were simply packed away, some of the avenues were not wide 

 enough for the attendants to pass each other. 



The promoters of the Show were, we believe, as much 

 astonished as we were at the proportions it had assumed, and 

 were no doubt helpless to meet the difficulty. "We shall be 

 exceedingly pleased to see the South London people establish a 

 show, but hope before the attempt is made again at least decent 

 accommodation will be obtained, or the experiment must result 

 in a failure. 



At the glance we were able to obtain, the quality of a few of the 

 birds surprised us. Two pens of Spanish, a pen of Cochins, and 

 some of the Hamburghs were particularly good. The Brahmas 

 were greater in number than quality. 



Pigeon's. — Mr. Gillham contributed some good Carriers ; Mr. 

 Jones some good Barbs, Jacobins and English Owls. The awards 

 of the prizes were not in print or placed on the pens at the time 

 of our leaving, five o'clock. 



Judges. — Poultry: Mr. Crook; Pigeons: Mr. Fulton; Bab- 

 hits : Messrs. Byford & Balls. 



SOUTH LONDON POTJLTEY, &c, SHOW. 

 The above, announced under the distinguished patronage of 

 the Earl of Shaftesbury and the Baroness Burdett Coutts, was 

 held on Monday and Tuesday last at the Bermondsey Working 

 Men's Club. Forty-four classes, with an electro-silver cup of 

 the value of 10s. 6d. for a first prize, 5s. second, and 3s. for a 

 third prize in each class, the Baroness Burdett Coutts giving 

 two special prizes. This attraction brought together an entry of 



MONTROSE SHOW OF POULTRY, &c 



The seventh annual Show was held at Montrose in the new 

 Market Building on the 1st and 2nd inst., when the entries were 

 far in advance of any previous one, being about 760. 



Spanish cocks were moderate in quality ; but not so the 

 Cochins, for these were very good in both classes, although 

 perhaps the Brahma hens were about the best class in the Show. 

 In Brahma cocks first was a splendid fellow, closely pressed by 

 the second and third; but the rest were only moderate birds. 

 All were of the Dark variety. Game cocks were a grand lot, 

 and the winners all Black Reds. Hens also a good class ; the 

 first Brown Red, second Pile, and third Black Red. Polish not 

 so good as we have seen them here; but Hamburglis a great 

 improvement, bat the Golden varieties were very difficult to 

 see, the day was so dull. Houdans, which are improving here, 

 were fair classes; the combs, which we look upon as a grand 

 point when perfect, were also good in many cases. The Variety 

 classes were well filled ; first in cocks a Dorking, second a 

 Minorca, and third a Black Hamburgh ; and in hens first a 

 Creve, second Black Hamburgh, and third a Dorking. Game 

 Bantams do not show well when in full view of each other, the 

 dullest and least-spirited birds generally showing to the greatest 

 advantage, and this was no exception. In cocks first was a 

 Pile, second a Black Red, as also the third; the second-prize 

 bird being put in competition for the subscription cup for the 

 Dest chicken bred in the locality, but was thrown out on account 

 of size alone, it being awarded to a grand Buff Cochin cockerel. 

 Hens were not as good as cocks, though numerous. Sebrights 

 very good in both classes, as were also the Black Bantams. 



In Pigeons the Pouters were first, and of these there were 

 three classes. In cocks first was a capital Blue, good length of 

 limb and feather, and fine in girth, two Whites losing very little 

 of its qualities; pen 365 (Guthrie), losing only as the bird was 

 very flat and would not show, was a well-marked Blue. Hens, 

 first Black, second Blue, and third White, three birds about 

 faultless. Carriers a fair lot, Blacks winning the prizes. Dragoons 

 were a splendid class for this part of the country; first a black- 

 barred Silver, second Blue and of this year, and third a Yellow, 

 nearly every other bird receiving a highly commended. Barbs 

 only moderate. In Tumblers, Short-faced, first was an Almond 

 hen, second a Kite, and third an Agate ; class not good. Long- 

 faces, first an exquisite Red Bald, second Blue Bald, and third 

 a Red Mottle. Fantails were a fair class, bat Bome of the high- 

 carriage birds were not sufficiently circular in tail; the winners, 

 though large and large in tail, had a good circular sweep. Jaco- 

 bins a fair lot ; first a grand Red, second Yellow, and third Red. 

 In Turbits first was a neat Black, second a Silver, and third a 

 Yellow, all very good. English Owls were very good, the fir6t 

 perhaps the best bird out. Nuns good and honestly shown; 

 and Magpies small and good, first a Black, second Red, and 

 third a Yellow. In the Variety class first was a Silver Dun 

 Antwerp, Becond a Red Swallow, and third a plain Ice Pigeon. 

 Babbits poor and badly provided for in the prize List. 

 There was a nice show of Cage Birds, in which the Scotch 

 Fancy, as a matter of course, predominated; but a few good 

 Norwich also put in appearance.
