THE KABBITS. 



This very interesting section of the Show was well represented by 

 fifty-three entries — a result which must have been very enconraging to 

 the Committee, who were indefatigable in th^-ir efforts to bestow due 

 attention to all specimens nndor their care, and the feeding and the 

 size of the pens for the Rabbits conld not have been more satisfactory. 

 The pens, we believe, were from Messrs. Turner, of Sheffield. 



There were about twenty entries of Lops, inclnding some excellent 

 specimens, and the competition was close, requiring more than a casual 

 glance to determine to which to award the badge of hononr ; yet we 

 confess the Tortoiseshell buck of Mr. A. H. Easten with ears 21f 

 by 4f was fully entitled to his creditable position, and the doe of Mr. 

 Tomlinson, with ears 21 inches by 4^ inches, was a fitting sharer in 

 almost equal honours. A Fawn doe, with ears 21J inches by 4s, be- 

 longing to Mr. H. Cawood, completed the valuable trio. It is rarely, 

 when colour is out of the question, that such a valuable class is brought 

 together, and let us hope nest year the Lops will be classified in 

 respect to colour. The nest, or Any other variety class, contained 

 nineteen entries, comprising five varieties, from the large Belgian to 

 the tiny Dutch, and there were not many, if one, which would not have 

 carried off the honours in a class of its own. "We trust from the pre- 

 sent success that these fine varieties ata future exhibition will be found 

 in at least three classes, for by proper classification alone can a just 

 opinion be formed and comparison made. The beautifully silvered 

 doe of Mr. S. G-. Hudson was equal to her position, contrasting with 

 the valuable White Angora of Mr. W. Corey, of large size, and with a 

 little attention would present an almost perfect specimen of the Angora. 

 To complete the trio of prize-winners, the excellent Himalayan of Mr. 

 Esam was a true type of this pleasing variety. 



The Selling class presented some valuable Rabbits, and the first- 

 prize, a Fawn doe Lop with ears of 20^ inches by 4J, was well shaped 

 and clear in shade, and was worthy of her position. The Dutch Blue 

 bncli of Master T. Adams came next in point of merit, and gave a 

 correct idea of what a good specimen of this diminutive variety should 

 te, being so well marked in those points essential to insure a prize. 

 The Fawn Lop buck of Mr. W. Morbey should not be overlooked, as 

 his points of excellence were very evident ; and the Tortoiseshell Lop 

 of Mr. C. Gravil and the highly commei^ded and commended pens 

 must not be passed over without a favourable comment. 



The general healthiness of the wholo specimens was very satisfac- 

 tory ; one or two only seemed to require a little attention from tl \'ir 

 owners in order to render them perfectly eligible to compete with thoir 

 neighbours.

was irregular, and we would advise a reform in this respect for another 

 year. La this section Mr. Adams showed in great force, and carried 

 off most of the prizes with birds of faultless quality and in the highest 

 condition. The cage birds were a capital show for the time of year.

POCKLINGTON POULTRY SHOW. 



This was lield on the Vth inst. in an extensive field lent for tlie 

 pnrpose by Mr. Thomas "Whitehead. The entries for poultry were 

 large, but some of the epecimena were unworthy of prizes, and these 

 were consequently withheld. For Game Mr. Boyes won most of the 

 prizes, and the Duckwiugs shown by him were unusually good ; in fact 

 such birds are rarely seen. tSpaninh were of moderate quality, but the 

 Dorhlags, Cochins^ and Game Bantams were very good. For the pens 

 as well as single cocks of the last-named, escellent Black Eeds were 

 first. The first-prize Cochin single cock was an extremely good Buff 



chicken. The only other birds worthy of notice were the Aylesbury 



Diidis and Toulouse Geese, 



The exhibitors of Pigeons had to find their own pens, and the effect 



FAKENHAM POULTRY SHOW. 



A Show of poultry. Pigeons, Rabbits, and Song Birds, open in the- 

 first season to the county of Norfolk only, was held in the spacious 

 Corn Hall, Fakenham, on Wednesday, the 6th inst., and for a first 

 attempt was most successful. There were nearly three hundred 

 entries, and the Exhibition was numerously attended. The arrange- 

 ments were escellent. 



Adult DorUngs were in good condition, a pen of massive brrds 

 winning first prize. There was a close competition in the chicken 

 class, b°oth winners being Dark Greys. Spanish, with the exception of 

 the first-prize pen, were not first-class. The Cochins were good in 

 shape, but wanting in size and marking. Only the prize birds in 

 Brahmas were worthy of notice. The Game and Poland classes wore 

 the best in the Show. The cup for the best pen of adults was won by 

 an extraordinarily good pen of Brown Eeds, and the cup for 1871 

 chickens by a grand pen of Golden Polands. The entries of Ham- 

 hurglis were numerous. The first-prize pen of chickens contained an 

 unusaally good Silver pullet. Dark Grey Dorkings took both the first 

 prizes in the Selling classes. A fair pen of Houdans was first in the 

 Variety class. Aylesbury Duels were very good, the first-prize birds 

 being claimed directly the sale-ofiice opened. 



The classes for Pigeons were not well filled. Balds and Carriers only 

 being worthy of notice. In Canaries Messrs. Cockle and Watson had 

 it all their own way, not a single bird being entered by the Norwich 

 fanciers. Eahbits were moderately good.
