CHEPSTOW POULTEY AND PIGEON SHOW. 



The annual Exhibition of Poultry and Pigeons was held on the 

 21st, in the fine old ruins of Chepstow Castle. The entries 

 numbered about 650 ; well-known breeders in different parts of 

 England, and even Scotland, sending pens to compete for the 

 prizes offered — fifteen silver cups ; besides nearly 150 money 

 prizes. The cup to the exhibitor of first-prize birds that had 

 the most points was awarded to Mr. Fulton ; the cruet-stand to 

 the exhibitor of second-prize birds having the most points to 

 Mr. Yardley ; and the guinea extra for most points in third- 

 prize birds to Mr. W. Crook. Our reporter adds, "The system 

 of the exhibitors not knowing the numbers on their pens, and 

 no one knowing the Judges, is an excellent plan."

BIEKENHEAD POULTRY SHOW. 



The "Wirral Agricultural Society held its annual Show at 

 Birkenhead on August 21st. The entries of poultry and Pigeons 

 were very greatly in excess of the number sent in any previous 

 year, and the weather proving fine there was a great crowd 

 of visitors. The poultry were on a platform at an easy distance 

 from the ground, with the Pigeons on the top, and the whole 

 was covered with a canvas shed, which added greatly to the 

 comfort of the birds and also to the appearance. 



The Pouters numbered fourteen pens, which call for no 

 special notice. In Carrier cocks there were fifteen entries. Mr. 

 Duckworth won with a splendid Dun which well deserved the 

 cup. Mr. "Wooley exhibited a beautiful Black which was very 

 highly commended; in fact, there was scarcely a bad bird 

 shown. In Carrier hens Mr. Taylor was first and Mr. Horner 

 second. The Tumblers were a splendid lot, and not many times, 

 even at Birmingham, have we seen such a good lot, more 

 especially Almonds. Mr. Horner was first, Mr. Taylor second, 

 and Mr. Waddington was awarded an extra second. There was 

 a cup (£5 5s.) for the best pair of Dragoons, which brought an 

 entry of thirty-two pens — a most difficult class to judge. Mr. 

 "Wakem obtained the cup with his Blues, Mi'. Graham being 

 second with a promising pair of this year's black-barred Silvers, 

 which would have made a good fight for the cup had they been 

 a little further through the niotilt. In Dragoons, Any other 

 colour, Mr. Graham was first with a splendid pair of Reds, 

 Mr. Mitchell second with Yellows. In Owls, Mr. Wakem won 

 another cup for his "Whites, which were in superb condition,, 

 Mr. Horner being second. In Turbits the prize birds were all 

 that could be desired. Mr. P. H. Jones won in Fantails. Mr. 

 Copeman and Mr. Justice took first and second with Antwerps. 



In Nuns, the Rev. A. G. Brooke showed a perfect pair, which 

 took first and were immediately claimed. In Any other variety,, 

 Trumpeters won. The whole of the birds were despatched by 

 rail the same night. — A Fancier.
