CLEVELAND 



AGRICULTURAL 

 SHOW. 



SOCIETY'S 



The Snow of the Cleveland Agricultural Society was this year held 

 at Guisborough, on the 8th inst. The railway communication is not of 

 the most complete kind, and, in addition, the district is not densely 

 populated ; there were, consequently, fewer visitors than usually attend 

 this Society's Show. It was held in Admiral Chaloner's grounds, in a 

 most picturesque locality in front of the Priory, and shielded by 

 woodlands on three sides, and by a hill on the fourth. A large 

 marquee was devoted to the poultry, of which the classes were not 

 numerous, but the entries were good. 



Spanish were but poor, the Dorkings of good quality, and the White 

 Cochins in the first-prize pen of extraordinary merit, although the 

 Bufis were bad, and the Partridge and Brahmas but moderate. The 

 first-prize Red Game were Black Reds of excellent style and form, 

 and very close in flesh ; and the second good Brown Red chickens. 

 The Duckwings were bad, but the single cocks compensated for them, 

 a cockerel of good proportions gaining first honours. The Bantams 

 were bad, but the winning-pens in all the Hamburgh classes were 

 first-rate ; and in the " Variety class " was an extremely good pair of 

 Houdan chickens. The Aylesbury Ducks were very good in beak, as 

 also the Rouens, and the latter were also very large ; and in the next 

 class for Ducks, Black East Indian, splendid in plumage, were first, 

 and domesticated Wild Ducks second. It is seldom we have seen such 

 a display of Geese, both Geese and goslings being of remarkable size 

 of frame and very good in plumage; of Turkeys there were some very 

 large birds, and we noticed a great improvement in the size of the 

 Turkey poults, as compared with those shown last year. 



There were not many Babbits, but those shown were good.

COTTINGHAM POULTRY SHOW. 



Cot ting ham:, one of the most beautiful villages of the East Riding 

 of Yorkshire, held its poultry Show on the 9th inst., in a small but 

 well-wooded park. The entries were numerous, and in some of the 

 classes the birds were good. The Spanish were exceedingly fine, es- 

 pecially the first-prize pen, but the Cochins and Dorkings were only of 

 moderate quality. The first-prize Red Game were Brown, and the 

 second Black Red. The former were out of condition to some extent, 

 hut the hen in the latter pen was bad in colour of plumage and eye. 

 Duckwings were first in the Variety class, and the extra prize for the 

 best pen was awarded them. The Polands were uncommonly fine, 

 Silvers being first and Blacks second ; and the first-prize Silver cock 

 was also extremely good. The Hamburghs were of moderate quality, 

 and the entries good ; and in the class for Farmyard crosses there 

 were some remarkably heavy birds. In the Selling class an unusually 

 good pen of Spanish was shown, and quickly appropriated, the cock 

 being superior to the first-prize bird in the Spanish class. The 

 Bantams were all exceedingly good, with the exception of the Game, 

 which were very poor. There were some large-framed Geese and ex- 

 cellent Ducks. 



The competition with Pigeons was keen in all classes, and the quality 

 much finer than we expected to find. The first-prize Pouters were 

 White, very good in thigh and feather. The second prize went to 

 Reds. The Carriers, though a little coarse, were very long and well 

 developed. The first-prize Turbits were Blue, and the second Red. 

 No class contained birds of higher quality than the Dragoons, though 

 some were rather old for the show pen. The Almonds shown by Mr. 

 Adams were an exquisite pair in all points, and an exceedingly good 

 match in colour and marking ; the Nuns were also very good. In the 

 " Variety class " White Owls were first, and Black Magpies second. 

 The Rabbits made but a moderate display. For the small amonnt 

 awarded to Cage Birds there was a capital entry. The two winning 

 birds in the first class were Belgians, and in the next the first was a 

 handsome light Goldfinch Mule, and the second a Marked Canary ; 

 and the winner of the new cage was a good Jonque Lizard, though 

 rather flecked with white.
