FARNWORTH POULTRY SHOW. 

 The majority of the entries for this Show were chickens of 

 the present year, and an unusually excellent lot they proved to 

 he. The Game were the best seen this summer, and, consider- 

 ing that many of the earliest cockerels were only just recovering 

 from dubbing, the high condition in which they were shown was 

 most praiseworthy. The competition in all these classes was 

 very close, and rarely have we seen classes throughout so un- 

 exceptionably good both as to character and plumage. There 

 was, however, one unfavourable feature that it is necessary to 

 allude to — viz., that a few excellent pens were thrown altogether 

 out of the chance of winning by being what is known as " duck- 

 footed." A very ill-conditioned class of adult Dorkings was 

 counterbalanced by a really good entry of young ones. The 

 highest possible quality existed in eVery variety of Hamburghs, 

 and the Judges were engaged a considerable time in determin- 

 ing which pen of these breeds was the most deserving for the 

 special Hamburgh prize, all five varieties being represented by 

 capitally -shown specimens. Among the Golden Pola?ids was one 

 of the best pullets we have seen for many years. Some of the 

 pens of Brahmas were exceedingly fine, but excessive feeding 

 was telling unfavourably on the condition of a pen or two among 

 them. The giving of too much flesh meat to poultry generally 

 oversteps the owner's first intentions, and should be resorted to 

 only with especial caution. The Cochin chickens were a first- 

 rate collection, and almost all of them were in excellent show 

 condition. The Game Bantams were not only very forward, 

 but also first-class birds, Black Reds and really good coloured 

 Duckwings being the winners. Kouen Bucks formed a very 

 large class of superior birds, and it was generally remarked that 

 so many truly-feathered pens are but seldom seen together. 

 The Fancy Waterfowl class was one of the most deserving in 

 the Show. The Judges, from the instructions received, awarded 

 all the cups offered as extra premiums, but by the provisions in 

 the prize schedule they were to be withheld unless the entries 

 amounted to certain specified numbers in aggregate classes. The 

 policy of this unusual restriction we think open to question, 

 where birds of undoubtedly the highest merit compete success- 

 fully against all comers. It is therefore possible the Committee 

 may before another season reconsider this regulation, and not 

 render it imperative that the prizes shall literally depend on the 

 number of entries rather than the perfection of the prizewinners 

 themselves. A large addition to the Society's funds no doubt 

 resulted from the weather being exceedingly fine, consequently 

 the attendance was most satisfactory. For several years past, 

 we are informed, wet days have always marked the Farnworth 

 meetings.
