CAMBRIDGE POULTRY SHOW. 



It was a general impression that the Cambridge Show would 

 this year suffer somewhat heavily from being held simul- 

 taneously with the summer Birmingham Exhibition at Aston. 

 Contrary, however, to all expectation, the quality of the classes 

 was in almost all instances quite equal to that of any previous 

 year, and but few classes appeared to suffer even as regards the 

 number of the entries. These facts, combined with a delight- 

 ful change in the weather from the late excessive wet, caused 

 not only the attendance of a very brilliant assemblage of 

 visitors, but also, as the general arrangements were perfect, 

 the expression of great satisfaction from everyone present at 

 the strict and methodical order that prevailed. 



Grey Dorkings were extraordinarily good, and we can speak 

 with equal confidence of those in a class made conjointly for 

 "White and Silver-Grey Dorkings. The Game class, though con- 

 taining many first-rate pens, did not muster so strongly as to 

 numbers as on some prior meetings. The Cochins were really 

 good, as were the great proportion of the Brahma classes 

 shown. The Hamburgh classes were limited, in number of 

 entries, but the quality was mostly very good. It was, in fact, 

 a capital pen of Silver-spangled Hamburghs that won the prize 

 for the best pen of poultry in the show tent, some very first- 

 rate Duckwings, Buff Cochins, and Silver-spangled Polands 

 competing very keenly for this coveted prermnm. Some truly 

 meritorious pens of Spanish were to be met with, but a little 

 more care in the selection by the owners for competition pur- 

 poses would have been advisable. A class for French breeds 

 of poultry contained only Creve-Cceurs, but a really good lot 

 they proved to be, in fact such as have never been seen before 

 in this neighbourhood. Three pens of remarkably good varieties 

 were the winners in the Variety class, in the following order 

 — Silver-spangled Polands, Black Hamburghs, and Silky Fowls. 

 The class for Gross-breeds for table purposes was the least 

 deserving class in the Show, in fact the whole of them betrayed 

 an amount of absolute coarseness unaccompanied with size 

 that scarcely met the conditions for which the prizes were 

 offered. Some wonderfully good Game Bantams and also Black 

 and White Bantams were shown, and a pen of very superior 

 Light Japanese. A large and very paying Sale class was an 

 object of interest ; and the Turkeys could not be spoken of more 

 highly than they merited. 



The whole of the entries in the Pigeon classes far outstripped 

 anything before shown at the Cambridge meetings; the Carriers, 

 Barbs, and Tumblers were especially good. Prizes were offered 

 for both fowls and Ducks, "plucked but not drawn," and some 

 very good lots were entered. As, however, now is the time of year 

 least notable for table fowls, the entry, though quite equal to 

 anticipation as to quality, was small as to numbers. 



The Committee well deserved the success they attained, and 

 the attention shown to the birds was open to no improvement.
