The Judge was Mr. Tegetmeier, Loudon. 



ning pairs (Blues) consisted of very good cocks with plain-headed 

 hens. Long-faced Antwerps were a good class, many pens well 

 deserving their position; the first prize was taken by Red 

 Chequers, the second by Duns, though out of feather. In the 

 Variety class were foreign White Owls, to which the cup for 

 the best pen in the Show was awarded ; Porcelain Swallows, 

 Bagdad Carriers, Ice Pigeons, and other German Toys, and 

 Black Swallows were very good. 



Babbits. — In Lop-eared bucks, the first prize went to a grand 

 Sooty Fawn, to which the medal was awarded, and the second 

 to a handsome Black-and-white, but not so long in ear. Does 

 were longer and broader in ear than the bucks, but not so fine 

 in quality ; the first Fawn-and-white, and the second Fawn. 

 Himalayans were good, the winners perfect in marking and con- 

 dition. Silver-Greys were good, the two winners very fine in 

 fur and capitally silvered throughout, the first-prize Rabbit 

 running a close race for the medal. In the class for Rabbits of 

 any other variety, both winners were Angora, the first a very 

 good one, and in capital fur. There were also some good Cage 

 Birds, prominent among them being the Buff Belgian Canary, 

 to which the first and extra prize were awarded, and also the two 

 winning Parrots.

STANNINGLET AND FAESLEY POULTRY SHOW. 



This, the best Exhibition ever seen in the locality, came off 

 at Stanningley on the 24th. The Committee being a thorough 

 working one, everything was conducted with precision, and the 

 arrangements were such as it would be difficult to improve 

 "upon. 



Spanish were of fair quality for the time of year. Of Cochins 

 there were very good Buffs. The first prize went to adults, and 

 the second prize to well-grown chickens. The Brahmas were 

 :also good. In Dorkings, very large and well-feathered chickens 

 were first, and adults second. Hamburghs were not so numerous, 

 but many very good birds, both old and young, were exhibited. 

 The Spangled old birds won in both classes ; but in Gold-pen- 

 cilled, old birds were first and chickens second, as also in the 

 Silvers, the winners in both classes being of rare merit. In 

 Black Hamburghs the first were chickens of the highest quality, 

 but the rest of the birds were not in the best condition. In 

 Game Bantams, the most perfect pair of Duckwings we have 

 ever seen were first, and though not in full plumage, these ran 

 very close for the cup against the large Game. The second were 

 Brown Reds, rather large, but good in other respects ; and in the 

 Variety class for Bantams both the winners were Blacks. In 

 Game the entries were but poor, and many of the birds low in 

 condition and out of feather; but the Duckwings, to which 

 the cup was awarded, were very good in hand and correct in 

 colour, the second-prize chickens were also very good. Polands 

 were very fine, Golden winning both prizes and the cup for the 

 best pen in the Show, Game excepted. The first-prize pair of 

 Rouen Ducks were very good, but the rest only poor. In fancy 

 Ducks a handsome pair of Bahamas were first, Kasarkas second, 

 Brazilian Teal Ducks and Brown Call highly commended ; and 

 in the Variety class for poultry, Creve Coeurs won both prizes. 



Of Pigeons there were 130 entries in fourteen classes, and in 

 some cases many more prizes might have been distributed de- 

 servedly. In Carriers both winners were Blacks, the first a 

 splendid, pair in faultless condition, and the second very good, 

 but not so well made up for the show pen. Of Pouters, the 

 'first were Blues, good in points ; the cock 19^ inches, with 

 Y-inch limb, and the hen 18i and &h ; Whites were second, very 

 good in style, but out of feather, the cock 18i inches and 7 inches 

 in limb, the hen 18J inches and 6J, and a pair of capital Yellows 

 were highly commended. In Short-faced Tumblers the compe- 

 tition was so close that the prizes could scarcely have been 

 awarded wrongly among half the pens exhibited. Almonds were 

 first and second. Tumblers, Long-faced, were very good ; Red 

 Mottles first, Black Mottles second, and Black Baldpates highly 

 commended. Turbits were a good class, but many of the birds 

 moulting. The first-prize Yellows and the second-prize Reds 

 were in faultless plumage and condition. English Owls were a 

 moderate class, many of the birds out of feather ; the first went to 

 Blues and the second to Silvers. In Jacobins the winners were 

 Reds, as good as can be, but most of the others rather coarse. 

 Fantails were a splendid lot; the first-prize pair were not much 

 more than half the size of the rest, and perfect in tail and 

 carriage. In Barbs, the winners were Black, young and pro- 

 mising birds. Dragoons were a very uneven class, most pens 

 containing one good bird. The best pair was passed over on 

 account of the hen having been almost killed by the cock, her 



face and neck being fearfully swollen ; these were shown by Mr. 



Yardley. Blues were first and Whites second. Trumpeters 



were good, but not in the best order. Short-faced Antwerps 

 were very numerous, but mostly wanting in head and the win-

Ipswich Poultry Society's Exhibition (Established 1S65), 

 will take place, as per advertisement in this Journal, October 

 16th, 17th, and ISth. There are seven silver cups offered for 

 the usual poultry classes, with a five-guinea special prize for 

 Rabbits. For cats, which are introduced for the first time, 

 there are a three-guinea cup and numerous special prizes. Con- 

 sidering the popularity gained at the recent cat shows at Edin- 

 burgh and the Crystal Palace, we doubt not but this adjunct 

 will be a great attraction at Ipswich. We observe all the large
