 quality, and -variety. The Almond Tumblers exhibited by 

 Messrs. Young, Gillet, and Doree were exquisitely beautiful. 

 The Short-faced Baldheads and other Short-faced Tumblers ex- 

 hibited by Messrs. Plaskett and Davis, were remarkably pretty. 

 The Carriers shown by Messrs. Jettan, Shuter, Windell, Beeves, 

 Hammock, and Gibson were also fine specimens. The Pouters 

 and small Toy birds exhibited by Mr. Fulton were likewise all 

 birds of the first order. This Society holds its meetings every

East London Columbabian Society. — The memhers of this 

 Society held their first meeting for this season on August 29th 

 at the "Rising Sun," Bethnal Green. Considering that the 

 Society has only been established five years, the show of birds, 



MAEKET HAEBOEOUGH POULTEY SHOW. 



This Show was an excellent one, and the arrangements per- 

 fect. The weather was exceedingly fine, and the show field 

 was well filled with visitors. 



Few Dorkings were exhibited, but they were good, and the 

 same remark applies to the Spanish fowls. Cochins, White, 

 Buff, and Partridge-feathered were admirable, many of the hens- 

 of all three of these varieties being such as would add consider- 

 ably to the interest of any poultry exhibition. There were some 

 good Brahmas, both Dark and Light-feathered competing, and 

 these classes were evidently popular. Certainly so good a collec- 

 tion of Black Red Game fowls had never been on view at former 

 meetings of this Society. Bantams were superior, but one pen 

 of Silver-laced Sebrights, of great merit, exhibited by Mr. Leno, 

 was thrown out of competition, as the rule required two hens. 

 instead of one. A few fine Turkeys and Geese deserve mention. 



The Pigeons were a very good coDection indeed, and several 

 pens in the Selling class were claimed at exceedingly low prices. 



Babbits proved much more numerous and good than was ex- 

 pected.

RYHOPE POULTEY SHOW. 



The third annual Exhibition of this well-regulated Society 

 was held on August 29th. The pens were good ; but as a cold 

 north-east wind was blowing, they would have been better if 

 they had had close instead of open backs. Eor all purposes we 

 much prefer pens with close backs. 



Dorkings were very good, being large, good in colour, and 

 sound-footed. Adult Cochins were fine, and an excellent pair 

 of Lemon Buffs won the cup against all the large varieties. The 

 chickens were rather young for the show pen. Spanish were 

 poor ; but the one pen of Silver Polands was very fine, and the 

 first-prize pen of Brahmas a handsome pair. In single Game 

 cocks the first was a capital Black Bed, though not in the best
