 Mr. E. Hutton.Pa'dsey. Canaries: Mr. J. Athersuch, Coventry. 



CIBENCESTER POULTRY SHOW. 



This Exhibition was held in the Corn Hall, under very dis- 

 tinguished patronage. The entries in the poultry and Pigeon 

 classes amounted to 678. Most of the classes were well filled. 

 The Judges were Messrs. Hewitt and Nicholls for the poultry, 

 and Mr. Jones for the Pigeons. The £5 5s. cup for the best pen 

 in the Show fell to Mr. E. Burrell's pen of Cieves, and the same 

 exhibitor won with his Buff Cochins the cup for third best pen 

 of poultry in the Show, while the £3 3s. cup was awarded to 

 Mr. C. Bloodworth's pen of Silver Polands. The silver medal 

 for the hest pen of Waterfowl was won by Mr. Hedge's Aylesbury 

 Ducks, and the cup for best Pigeon in the Show, exclusive of 

 Magpies, went to Mr. Herrieff's Pouter, a Black Magpie of Mr. 

 S. Salter winniog the Magpies' £3 3s. piece of plate. 



Dorkings were fifteen pens in number, aud a moderate pen of 

 Darks won first prize. Light Brahmas had seventeen entries, 

 and the quality was on the whole fairly good. The Darks did 

 not muster nearly so well. "We believe last year they were as 

 weak in numbers. The winning ppns were, however, good, and 

 did not give the Judge much trouble to choose them. In Cochins 

 Buffs made thirteen pens, and the first winners were a pretty 

 pair of Buff chickens ; the second and third were also chickens 

 of the year. In the next class very good adult Whites came in 

 first among eleven pens. WhiteB, again, were third, and Par- 

 tridges and Whites of Messrs. Clatworthy and Buckmaster were 

 hi»hly commendtd. In Spanish a pretty pair of chickens were 

 first and the class of nine pens was fairly good. The Leghorns 

 made two fairly good classes, the winning White ohickens bemg 

 well shown and very smart in carriage. Game had three classes, 

 and the quality was good. The first Black Beds very smart in 

 carriage, and in fine feather. Mr. Warde's birds, too, were well 

 shown and in good condition. Hamburghs also had three classes, 

 and all were filled well. The Pencilled made the largest display. 

 The first in Spangles went to good Gold, and the winniog Blacks 

 were fresh-looking and bright. The Malays were excellent, and 

 the firBt-prize pen were in good condition and large. All the 

 French met in one large class, where Cieves of wonderfully good 

 quality were first. Creves, too, were again 6econd, and good 

 HondanB third. Polands were an extraordinarily gocd class, and 

 every pen was noticed. Superb Silvers were first. They were 

 in good feather, and shonld do well at shows to come. The 

 second were cheap at £4 4s. ; and third again were very good 

 Silvers. Messrs. Norwood's, TJnsworth's, and Burrell's were 

 all good pens. The Variety claBS had eight entries, of which a 

 pair of Langshans were commended. We fancy that a Judge in 

 noticing this breed in a variety class makes himself a believer 

 in the breed, for did he only consider them inferior Black 

 Cochins, they should have been passed over for being in the 

 wrong class. We commend this to the notice of the Judges. The 

 winning Black Red Bantams were good, as was the pen of Piles 

 whioh won in the next claBB. In the variety Bantam claES 

 Laced were first and second, and Blacks third. The Waterfowl 

 were good classes, though the Aylesburys, as has been the case 

 of late, were a very small class, while the variety Duck claaB was 

 extremely meritorious, and each pen won a card at the hands 

 of the Judge.

INDOOR RABBIT HUTCHES. 



The outdoor Rabbit hutch is a comparatively simple structure, 

 but there are many contrivances for inside hutches which tend 

 to make them somewhat intricate. For the more hardy Eabbits 

 outside hutches are advisable, but some of the delicate breeds, 

 such as Lops, require more warmth and regularity of tempera- 

 ture than can be guaranteed in an outdoor hutch in this country.
