KOYAL BUCKS POULTRY SHOW. 



Too much praise cannot he expressed of the care taken of the 

 birds by the Committee during the Exhibition. The entries 

 were small in number, so many exhibitions being held the same 

 week in the north, but seldom were so few indifferent birds seen 

 in any show. The money prizes -were liberal, but, in addition, 

 Mrs. Lee, Hartwell Park, gave a five-guinea cup for Dorkings ; 

 Lord Boston gave a three-guinea cup for Brahmas ; Mrs. J. K. 

 Fowler a three-guinea cup for Spanish; N. M. de Rothschild, 

 Esq., a five-guinea cup for Game ; Lady A. de Rothschild and 



S. G. Smith, Esq., M.P., each a five-guinea cup for Aylesbui-y 

 Ducks ; the Duchess of Buckingham a five-guinea cup for Rouen 

 Ducks; E. M. Lucas, Esq., a three-guinea cup for Geese; and 

 Messrs. Field & Son a silver cream-jug for Hamburghs. The first 

 and second-prize Dorkings were far superior to the other3. But 

 the pen that attracted most attention in the Show was the first- 

 prize Buff Cochins of Lady Gwydyx's. Only one thing was 

 wanting — namely, size ; colour, shape, and head were perfection. 

 Her ladyship's first-prize Dark Brahmas were very fine. In the 

 Duckwing Game the second-prize pen was an example of the 

 carelessness of exhibitors putting birds together that were un- 

 known to each other, as the cock had nearly eaten up the hen. 

 In the French class a Creve-Cceur cockerel in the first pen was as 

 fine as could be exhibited. 



Aylesbury Ducks were not so good as might be expected at 

 their native place, though in weight they far distanced the 

 Rouens. In weight Aylesburies were 18 lbs. and Rouens 14£lbs. 

 per pair. Mr. Fowler's Geese were very good.

 following were his awards.

WORCESTER CITY AND COUNTY POULTRY 

 AND PIGEON SHOW. 



This re-viva! was held on the 18th inst. in the Corn Exchange, 

 Worcester, and we anticipate that it will be successful, for the 

 Committee are men of good judgment. We have not received 

 our usual report of the poultry department, hut we are informed 

 there were nearly three hundred entries. The Dorkings were 

 not generally superior, hut all the Cochin classes were good; and 

 the cup birds especially excellent. The Game classes were not 

 good, but the pens of Hcwiburghs, especially the Golden-spangled 

 which won the cup, were all good. We can only mention further 

 that in the Variety class of Ducks was a pen of a kind quite new 

 and unknown before to the Judges. 



Pigeons. — Carrier cocks were good ; the winners were Elacks. 

 For Carrier hens the first prize went to a fair Dun, a Black 

 being second. The winning birds in the Pouter cock class were- 

 remarkably good, the first-prize Blue measuring 19| inches long 

 and 7i in limb ; a White was second, 19J in length and 6 j inches 

 in limb. In the Pouter hen class a wonderfully good Blue was 

 first, measuring 18i in length and 6J in limb ; the second prize 

 was awarded to a Yellow, 18i in length and 6J in limb. The 

 awards in the Barb class went to Black and Yellow. The 

 Almond class was especially good. In Tumblers, Any other 

 variety, Bed Agates were first and second. Fantails were good ; 

 Whites first, Blues second. Dragoons were a fair' class ; a well- 

 matched pair of Yellows first, Blues second. Antwerps were a 

 strong class of thirteen entries, a wonderful pair of well-matched 

 Red Chequers being first, Silver Duns second. In the Jacobin 

 class Beds were first and second. Of Trumpeters there were 

 only three entries, Blacks first and Whites second. Nuns 

 were a moderate class; and in the Any other variety class 

 Bloudinettes were first, Blue Swallows second, Archangels and 

 White Owls were highly commended and commended. The 

 remainder of the class consisted of Silver Bunts, Scandaroons,. 

 and Working Antwerps. We certainly should have been pleased 

 to have seen more entries, and a stronger competition for the- 

 two five-guinea cups which were given in addition to money- 

 prizes, which were both won by Mr. Fulton with thirty-four 

 points in Classes 23 to 27, and thirty-eight points in Classes 

 28 to 36 both inclusive.
