IPSWICH POULTRY SHOW. 



This excellent Show of poultry and Pigeons was held in the 

 Corn Excbaoge. The Ipswich Committee are all real fanciers, 

 and under Mr. Wragg as captain they brought their show to a 

 most successful issue, and as they for the first time introduced 

 the plan of having amateurs as Judges an immens e amount of 

 interest was taken in the awards. Mr. Horace Lingwood judged 

 the Brahmas and Sale classes ; Mr. Mathews the Malays, Game, 

 and Game BantamB; Mr. Felton the Cochins; and Mr. Cress- 

 well the remainder ; and we heartily congratulate each gentle- 

 man upon his awards. The Committee were most anxious for 

 the welfare of the birds and exhibitors, and we did not see a 

 bird wrongly penned from any blame of the attendants, and 

 never, we think, saw fewer empty pens. 



Dark Brahma, cockerels opened the catalogue, the winner 

 going to Stoke Park — a well-growing bird of good feathering and 

 sound colour. In Dark pullets the second was perhaps the best 

 in markings and colour, but she had too much hock feather for 

 Mr. Lingwood's fancy. Light cookerels were excellent and the 

 winners admirably chosen, though we doubt if the Judge was 

 as happy in his selection of Light pullets. We did not care for 

 the winner, who was puffy in body and ungainly in her move- 

 ments. The second and third were very good, as was the pallet 

 of Mr. Dean. Lady Gwydyr showed a good one but younger. 

 Buff Cochin cockerels followed. Perhaps second or third were 

 in the best feather and of soundest colour, but the cup bird was 

 very broad and large and pretty in head and feet. This bird, 

 we believe, is to cross the ocean in a few days. We liked the 

 three winning Buff pullets very much, and there was little be- 

 tween them ; the third, however, had no tail and a little black 

 in her neck. Partridge cockerels were good, the first the most 



up ; and in pullet3 a bird lovely in poncillings walked in first ; 

 second was also good, and then came a great difference between 

 her and the remainder. White cockerels were good, the winner 

 the older, or else not very shapely in tail. In White pullets the 

 first won the cup ; she was a big bird and good all round. Se- 

 cond a little in need oi a bath, or else very good; and the 

 third a neat pullet. Black cockerels were also young, as were 

 the pullets, but the latter class was large and of great merit 

 throughout, the cup bird beautifully feathered and bright in 

 bloom. 



Dorking cockerels were all good, the cup bird excelling in 

 head, colour, and shape. In pullets only the two winners 

 deserve notice. The seoond here again younger than the first, 

 but of more future promise. In White Dorkings we liked 

 the first pullet very much ; the first and second cockerels 

 were also good and of nearly equal quality. In Spanish only 

 the cup cockerel was good ; he had a nice head and smooth 

 face. The first Minorca (Black) cockerel was fair, but the class 

 miserably small. In Game Mr. Martin's Brown Reds were 

 splendid. This gentleman, too, showed some good Duckwing 

 cockerels, one of which was claimed for £10 10s. A good Pile 

 was second in the Variety class, and the first Black Red cockerel 

 was stylish and good in feather. In Malays the cup went to 

 the cockerel, a good all-round bird, but not very large. The 

 first pullet was big and good in bone, with proper carriage. 

 Hambtirghs mustered well. The cup went to the Gold-pen- 

 cilled cockerel, a prettily tailed bird and bright in colour. The 

 first Silver-pencils, first Silver-spangled cockerel, and the 

 winning Blacks were all good, and we quite approved of the 

 Judge's selections ; we believe, too, all were satisfied, which in 

 such competition is satisfactory. The Poland's were very meri- 

 torious, the cup going most deservedly to a superb Silver pullet, 

 large in crest and perfect in marking. The first cockerel was a 

 Black, a good showy chicken, and we are glad to see how this 

 breed has oome to the front of late. 



The French divisions were large, and on all sides we heard 

 Mr. Cresswell congratulated on his awards. We never re- 

 member seeing better Houdan pullets than the first and seoond. 

 They were as excellent in markings as the late Mr. Dring's 

 and Mrs. Variance's old hens, which won so much. Creves 

 were good, and the awards were well made. We suppose 

 Mr. Horatio Stephens has again bought, for we believe we 

 saw in his pen the first Bath pullet of Miss Williams ! 

 Leghorns were better than usual, and we observed a Cuckoo- 

 coloured specimen which looked rather pretty. The prizes in 

 cockerels all went to Whites, while in pullets a White came in 

 between two exceedingly white-eared Brown pullets. The 

 Variety class contained some good Silkies, Cuokoo Cochins, and 

 Sultans, all of which made their mark in the prize list. Game 

 Bantams were meritorious, and in the Variety class a pen of 

 Black-booted won first. Mr. Leno'B Silver-laced were of high 

 quality and won the cup. The Waterfowl were attractive. 

 The Aylesburvs capital, and useful-looking Rouens won the oup, 

 while in the Variety class Pekins, Whistlers, and Spotted-bills 

 won in the order named. Grey Geese won all the prizes, and in 

 Turkeys we liked all the three prize pens, the third beiog best 

 in colour though the smallest. In the Selling class were some 

 good Buff CochinB — a White pullet shown by Mrs. Holmes, 

 a good Partridge cock exhibited by Lady Gwydyr, and Beveral 

 other fair birds, but we did not notice many sales by the time 

 we left, at two o'clock on the last day of the Show. We have 

 only to mention, in conclusion, that the birds were dispatched 

 very quickly at the close of the Show, and wa have heard_ of 

 many birds which reached their owners early on the following 

 day. The prizes for Pigeons were also awarded by amateurs.
