KIRKCUDBRIGHTSHIRE POULTRY SHOW. 



This Society's third annual Show was held on December 16th in 

 the Town Hall, Castle Douglas, a building well adapted for the pur- 

 pose, and capable of accommodating many more pens. The Show was 

 the best the Society has yet had, and was well supported by visitors, 

 many pens changing hands. 



The Game were but poor, but both classes of DorTcings were well 

 represented, more especially the Silver- Greys, both adult and young 

 birds of which were very good. Some of the Brahmas were above the 

 average in size, colour, and marking. In the Selling class, Rouen 

 Ducts were first and Dorkings second. In the Duck classes the Kouens 

 ■were very good in all points, and the Aylesburies moderately good. 

 In the "Variety" class White Muscovy were first and Brown Decoy 

 second. Among the Game Bantams there were some small stylish 

 birds, but of the other kinds little can be said. 



Among the Pigeons the Tumblers were good, the winners being 

 Almonds ; the Carriers and Pouters of moderate quality, and the 

 Fantails very good. In the "Variety" class Archangels were first 

 and Blue Turbits second. 



There was also an excellent display of Gage birds, mostly of the 

 Scotch Fancy Canary ; and the Goldfinches were of unusual quality, 

 the white -throated birds being of the rarest excellence.

FALKIRK POULTRY SHOW. 



The second Show of the Falkirk Association was held in the Corn 

 Exchange on the 24th inst. The weather being the most severe that 

 has been experienced for several years, it was a great drawback to 

 birds that had to travel long distances, although on arrival they were 

 well fed and cared for, and the building was very comfortable. Great 

 credit is due to Mr. Roberts, the Honorary Secretary, for the attention 

 paid to the specimens. The pens employed were Turner's, and, as 

 usual, they were very satisfactory. 



Adult Spanish were of moderate quality, but the young birds were 

 of rare excellence. The cockerel in the first-prize pen, shown by a 

 local exhibitor, was quite equal to anything we have seen this season. 

 The adult DorTcings were also of fair quality, although some of the 

 birds were bad in feet, and others had frosted combs. Dark-coloured 

 were first, and Silver-Greys second and third. Of young Dorkings 

 there were twenty-eight entries, and they were a very fine lot. In ad-
