OSWESTRY POULTRY SHOW. 



Oswestry Market supplies a greater amount of poultry for 

 the table than any other town in Shropshire or "Wales ; buyers 

 constantly attending every market, from districts so far re- 

 moved as Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Leamington, Bilston, 

 Manchester, Liverpool, and various other towns having large 

 populations. That the prices of poultry for table use have on 

 account of this extreme demand risen at least 50 per cent, during 

 the last thirty or thirty-five years at Oswestry, is a fact well 

 known among the older inhabitants, bnt the general trade of the 

 town in all branches has proportionably improved, and this 

 annual meeting for the exhibition of strictly fancy as well as 

 really useful poultry begets an excitement few strangers would 

 believe. The Show this year, instead of being under a tent, was 

 luckily held in the Market Hall, consequently the unfortunate 

 weather that prevailed did not affect the fowls. 

 ^ A very excellent muster of Game fowls excited much atten- 

 tion, and many of the Grey Dorkings were especially fine, but 

 as of late so common with spurs outside the legs, and others 

 with dark legs were to be met with too frequently. In Brahmas, 

 both Light and Dark-feathered, the pens so successful of late 

 at other meetings again took the precedence in classes generally 

 praiseworthy. In Hamburghs no one need desire better pens 

 than those shown by the Duke of Sutherland, but the entry was 

 not large, it having oozed out that the Duke would exhibit, 

 which prevented many others entering the lists where success 

 was to them so unlikely. "We have seen a far better collection 

 of Bantams on former occasions ; but the French fowls, Malays, 

 Bud's, Geese, and Turkeys held a favourable position in compari- 

 son to former shows. It was, however, in the Cochin classes that 

 this Show was far a-head of all preceding meetings, the Par- 

 tridge-feathered being not only a large entry, but also containing 

 more really perfect birds than we recollect to have seen at the 

 same time for many years past. Mr. Tudman's four pens all of 

 this variety were the gems of the Show, and were so equally 

 balanced as to quality that a considerable time had to be de- 

 voted to the adjudication of the prizes in this division, both 

 the class prizes, a couple of highly commendeds, and the Presi- 

 dent's silver cup value five guineas falling to the four pens. 

 They were well grown and in most admirable condition. 



Although the rain fell incessantly there was not by any means 

 a limited attendance of visitors. The attention paid to the 

 birds shown was worthy of the highest approbation.
