WIRRAL agricultural SOCIETY'S POULTRY 

 SHOW. 



The annual Show in connection with the old-established "Wirral 

 Agricultural Society was held on August 30th near Birkenhead Park. 

 The weather was all that could haye been desired, and throughout the 

 day a large number of persons visited the ground. The arrangements 

 for the poultry were very good, all the pens being well protected from 

 the weather ; but as the day was very hot the canvas was only of use 

 to protect the birds from the sun. The DorJcing class was not up tO' 

 the mark, and the birds were in bad plumage. The chickens were a 

 fair class, but we have seen better at this season of the year. Some 

 of the adalt Cochins were very good. Mr. Stretch and Mr. Lacy had 

 a hard pull for the first, the former only won by condition. In the 

 chicken class Mr. Sidgwick was first with a really perfect pen of Par- 

 tridge, and Mr. Stretch followed with a good pen of Buffs. Mr. Lacy 

 took loth prizes in Bra7tma.^ with capital birds ; some of the chickeus 

 were also very good. The Spanish were very poor, and only one prize 

 was awarded. The adalt Game were much out of condition, but some 

 good birds were amongst them. The first prize went to Black Reds, 

 the second to Browns. The chickens were good, and both prizes went 

 to Brown Beds. The Game Bantams were a small entry, Mr. Maples- 

 being the principal winner. There were only two classes of Hamhurghs, 

 and with the exception of the wioners they were rather indifferent^ 

 The Variety class contained some excellent Creve-Coeurs and Houdans> 



In Bouen Duds there were fourteen pens of excellent birds. Mr. 

 Gladstone's prize pen was all that could be desired both as regards- 

 size and colour. In Aylesburys excellent birds were first and second. 

 The Ge-ese were very fine, and the Judges would have been glad if they 

 had had more prizes to award. 



There was a fine show of Pigeons in nearly all the classes. Mr. 

 Tardley was a large winner with first-class birds. The Dragoon classeo 

 contained thirty-three pens of the best birds that were ever brought 

 together. Mr. Byron took the cup for the best pen of Dragoons of 

 any other colour than Blue. The second-prize pen was in all respects- 

 first-class, but suffering from the moult. 



The Pigeons proved very attractive, as they generally do. In 

 Carriers, Blacks were first and second, the first-prize birds being of 

 capital carriage. In Pouters, both first and second prizes went to 

 "Whites, both pens being good. Tumblers had two classes. One was 

 for Beards and Balds, in which Blue Beards were first and Blue Balds 

 second ; the other was for any other variety, and in this Almonds were 

 first and a pretty pair of Yellow Mottles second. In Barbs, Yellows 

 were first and Blacks second. In Turbits the first-prize birds were 

 Whites, in deep monlt, but good in head, Yellows in good feather being- 

 second. In Owls, Whites were first and second. A silver cnp for the 

 Dragoon classes produced a very good entry, both in the class for Blues 

 and also in that for any other colour. Mr. Graham's birds were alJ 

 in moult, otherwise he would have stood much higher in the prize list. 

 The first and second-prize pens of Blues were both in very good feather. 

 In the class for any other colour. Yellows took both prizes. The first- 

 prize birds were too light in the thigh, the second-prize birds were 

 grand, only in moult. Black Nuns were first and second in their 

 class, and Trumpeters first and Porcelains second in the class for any 

 other variety. Another year I should strongly reeommead the Com- 

 mittee to offer prizes for single Carriers and Pouters instead of paire.
