KIRKCALDY POULTRY AND CANARY SHOW. 

 The Fife and Kinross OrDithological Society held its twentieth 

 annual Show in the Corn Exchange, Eirhcaldy, on the 2nd and 3rd 

 inst. Year by year these exhibitions have been steadily increasing in 

 the ntimber of birds shown, and improving in the qnality of the stock 

 bron;:ht forward. The entries this year considerably exceeded those of 

 any former year. The list of exhibitors embraced most of our Scotch 

 breeders, whose names are now widely known, as well as many promi- 

 ' nent English prizetakers, the Emerald Isle also contributing her quota. 

 A noticeable feature in the classes is the increase of Pigeons and the 

 decrease of Canaries, there being a larger number of the former and a 

 smaller number of the latter than at any former show. Brahinas, 

 too, have of late years been superseding Dorkings, but we were glad to 

 observe an increase in the number of Dorking pens this year-. 



Game and Game Bantams were the largest classes exhibited. Fife 

 was famous for her fighting Game in the days of yore, and now that 

 exhibiting has taken the place of fighting she is not behind her former 

 self. There were fifty-eight pens of Game, eighty-three of Game 

 Bantams, and in all the classes of these the quality of the birds was 

 excellent. The competition was a close one, and the Judge must have 

 had some trouble in making his awards. There was not a bad pen in 

 the Hall, and had " Yoreshike," who criticised the Game at Leeds, 

 been here, he would have found all the essential characteristics of the 

 breed that he seems to have there missed so much. There was the 

 firm compact body, well-developed muscular thigh, strong bill and 

 snake-like bead, with the bold defiant carriage, that give these bii-ds 

 their sprightly bearing. DorJcings were more numerous than for some 

 years past, and, in the opinion of the Judge, of finer quality than those 

 shown at Birmingham and Manchester. Cochins were on the whol& 

 a good class ; and the first-prize cockerel shown by Mrs. Oswald, of 

 Dunnikier, is deserving of special notice as a bird of rai'e excellence. 

 The first-prize hens shown by Mr. Green, Belfast, were also veiy fine. 

 Brahmas were a large and good class, the cocks predominating in 

 numbers, but we thought the hens were of better quality. The pair 

 of Mr. Kaines, Stirling, which won the cup, were magnificent bii-ds. 

 Sjianisli were a smaller class than usual ; the hens taking the cup 

 were in all points excellent birds. Hamhurglis mustered strongly. 

 Golden-pencilled and Spangled being much superior to the Silver- 

 classes. Fowls, "Any other variety," and Buds were both poor 

 classes. 



There was a marked improvement since last year in the Pigeons. 

 Pouters were a verv good class, the silver cup being carried oS by a re- 

 markable pair of "Whites belonging to Mr. McGill. Elie, who took also 

 the silver cup at the late Edinburgh Columbariau Show with the same 

 cock. Carriers were a more mixed lot, some of them being of con- 

 siderable merit, others very poor. Fantails showed to more advantage, 

 there being some excellent birds amongst them; good, well-spread, 

 compact tails, with fine carriage and tremulous motion. There would 

 have been a different distribution of prizes, however, had the matching 

 of the pau-s been more judicious. Nuns were a good class honestly 

 shown ; there had evidently been no tampering with them, but the 

 matching was not in all cases first-rate. Jacobins were an excellent
