BRAMLEY POULTRY SHOW. 

 Tb~e first Exhibition of the Bramley Society was held on 

 July 22nd and 23rd in a spacious field in the centre of the town. 

 Considering that it was the first essay, the arrangements were 

 ■well carried out, and we did not hear of a single mistake. The 

 poultry and Pigeons were shown in a roomy circular tent, and 

 Turner's pens being used, the general appearance was good. 

 The entries, though good, were not such as they would have 

 been had it not been imperative that all birds should be delivered 

 at too early an hour for them to travel any great distance ; be- 

 sides which there was the concurrence of other shows of longer 

 standing. 



Spanish were first on the list, there being only three pens of 

 ordinary quality. Cochins came next, Buffs being first and 

 Partridge second. Brahmas were of fair quality as a class, but 

 some of the birds would have been all the better of a bath. In 

 Red Game fowls both winners were Brown Reds, the first-prize 

 pen being in capital feather. Duckwings were the best of the 

 Game classes, and the second-prize cock was of good quality. 

 The single Game cocks were a poor lot. In Polish, Silvers were 

 first and "White-crested Blacks second. The Hamburghs, though 

 not numerous, were very good in all the classes, and Bantams 

 were also good ; the first-prize Reds took the first extra prize, 

 and the second extra was awarded to a pen of good Blacks. 



In Bucks, the first were Aylesbury and the second Rouen ; 

 in the Variety class the first were Bahamas and the second 

 Ruddy Shields. 



There was also a class for chickens or ducklings, in which the 

 winners were Brahmas and Spanish respectively ; and in the 

 Variety class for fowls, Houdans were first and Dorkings second. 

 Pigeons were better supported than poultry, and the quality 

 throughout was good. In the Carrier class the winners were 

 both Black cocks, good in beak, eye-wattle, and style. In 

 Pouters, the first was Blue, the second "White. Dragoons were 

 all Blues, and good in quality and condition, and the same may 

 be said of the Owls. The first-prize pair of Turbits were Blue, 

 and good in all points, the second Reds. Of Jacobins, both the 

 prize pairs were Red, and very good ; those which were first 

 were very short and neat in head. Both the awards in 

 Trumpeters were made to Black Mottles, which were very good. 

 Of Long-faced Tumblers, the first were Black and the second 

 Bad Mottles ; and in the Short-faces the first were Almonds and 

 the second Black Mottles. Fantails were poor, but the Barbs 

 were a very good class, Blacks being first and Duns second. 

 Both the Long-faced and single Antwerps were very good, hut 

 the Short-faces fell far short of what is required of that variety, 

 and we thought the second-prize birds two cocks, although we 

 are open to correction. In the Variety class the first were 

 capital foreign Owls, and the second Black Brunswicks. 



There were some good Babbits, particularly the Grey-and- 

 white doe shown by Mr. Johnson, and several Himalayan and 

 Dutch specimens.

LISKEARD POULTRY SHOW. 

 [From a Correspondent.) 



The fourth annual Show of poultry in connection with a 

 horticultural exhibition was held at Liskeard on the 25th^ult. ? 

 and proved a great success in the number and quality of the 

 entries, and the attendance of visitors. Messrs. Goldlng and 

 Herring made the awards. 



Game were good but out of feather. Hennies were a good 

 class, all were commended. Dorkings were the best ever ex- 

 hibited at this Show. Spanish were poor, Malays not very- 

 good, neither were Cochins, except the winning pens. Brahmas- 

 were very poor, and so were the classes of Polands. Hamburghs 

 and. Bantams were good, notably the pen of Sebright Bantams 

 in the Variety class. Backs were excellent. 



Pigeons were few but good.

TONG AND DUDLEY HILL POULTRY SHOW. 



This Show toot place on July 27th in the cricket field at 

 Dudley Hill, near Bradford. The day was very hot, but the- 

 poultry, being in a shady position, did not suffer. The entries 

 were not numerous, but there were many excellent pens and 

 single birds, notably the pullet in the first-prize pen of Spanish,
