KINGSTON-ON-THAMES POULTRY SHOW. 



This Exhibition was held in the Drill Hall, a place admirably 

 adapted for a good show. The schedule was very imperfect, and 

 some confusion occurred with the pens on the opening day, and 

 we believe the Judges (Messrs. Teebay and P. H. Jones) had the 

 greatest trouble to find the classes and make their awards, 

 which, however, were very satisfactorily accomplished; still 

 the Secretary, who was ready to put crooked matters right as 

 far as he could, was courteous and indefatigable in his work, and 

 we hope this suburban Show may, under judicious management, 

 flourish in uture. 



Dorkings, Coloured, came first on the list, and a very good 

 pair of adults were first, both white in feet and large. In the 

 next class a well-shown pair of Whites came in first, and very 

 deservedly. Cochins made but small classes, but the quality 

 was good; the firBt in each class being really superior specimens. 

 In Brahms^ the first Darks were only moderate ; entered in 

 the catalogue or £5, which Bhould have been ^50. In the 

 hocked class a very large Brahma won the cap. In Poland* a 

 very good pair of White-creBted Black chickens came first. In 



alays the first and second were both good pairs of Dark birds 

 in good feather, and the third were'lnstrous Blacks. The French 

 "were good. The first Hondans a good pen, as were the first 

 Crlves. In Leghorns the Whites were the best, all being fairly 

 good in colour,* nd the first and second winning by their better 

 plumage ; the third being very young but most promising 

 chickens. Minorcas were a very small lot ; the first very lustrous 

 Blacks, and neat in combs. 



Bantams made excellent classes. The first Laced were a good 

 pair of Silvers, not quite neat enough in comb, but very well 

 marked and clear in colour; while in the Variety class moderate 

 Black Rosecombs were first, and Brown Frizzles with non-match- 

 ing legs second, third again going to Blacks. Spanish were 

 excellent, the first pair very good indeed ; the cock really wonder- 

 fully good. The Selling classes were good ; the prohibitory price 

 being £5 5s. per pen brought a good lot of birds. In single cocks 

 of the first-named breeds a Dark Brahma was first, and a capital 

 pair of hens of the same breed also first in the hen claBs, while 

 in the other classes we saw a capital pair of Spanish pullets and 

 some extremely good Creves from Mr. Harley. "VVe had almost 



omitted the Game classes and the Hamburghs. In the former 

 among the Black-breasted Reds the first were in good feather, 

 and the cock capital in head and of good carriage ; the second 

 too were in very hard feather, and the hen we especially liked. 

 Duckwings were only moderate, save the first-prize pair, which 

 were of good colour, and the cockerel stylish. In the variety 

 Game class a very good pen of Piles easily came in first. They 

 were of good colour, aud the cock capital in head. The third 

 prize was, we believe, withheld. The Hamburghs again made 

 but small classes. The Golden-pencilled wore, perhaps, the 

 beBt. Both first and second pairs were in good condition. In 

 SpaDgles a good pen of Silvers won first. Blacks had but four 

 pens, and the awards seemed quite correct. The first were neat 

 in combs, and the cock had a good tail. 



The Pigeon department was very limited ; but here the pens 

 were mixed up in so bewildering a manner that we really could 

 not make them out at all. We give the list of awards as near as 

 we could obtain them. — W.

CARMARTHEN POULTRY SHOW. 



This was held on the 12th inst., and though the entries 

 were not large the Show was an excellent one, and the birds 

 caaie from many celebrated yards. Mr. John Martin awarded 

 the prizes to the great satisfaction of all. The Exhibition was 

 held in tbe Market Place, and the Society's own pens were used. 



Dorkings made a fair display, and the iirst and second Spanish 

 were shown in capital trim, the first cock's face being very good 

 in quality and large. Jn Cochins some good Partridges were 

 shown, arid though all -varieties competed together first and 

 second prizes went to birds of good quality ot this variety. 

 Light Brahmas were not nearly so good as the Darks, in the 

 latter breed the prize birds being excellent in size and the hens 

 well pencilled. Game were admirable. The cup went to a 

 grand pen of Brown Keds ; the cock of wonderful excellence ;
