CAMBRIDGE POULTEY SHOW. 

 This was held on November 27th and 28th, in the Corn Ex- 

 change, which is well suited for the purpose. Billett's pens 

 were used, and many of the members of the Committee being 

 true fanciers, the birds were well attended to, and all regulations 

 efficiently carried out. Many of the classes were very heavy, 

 and the quality in most cases was high. 



Adult Dorkings did not compare well with the chickens which 

 won the cup. Buff Cochins were very good; the cup-winners 

 were adults, leaving little to be desired. In the Variety class 

 of Cochins Partridge stood first, with Whites second, but among 

 the chickens the third prize was withheld through want of merit. 

 Light Brahmas, any age, were good, although some of the cocks 

 were slightly tinged with yellow. The corresponding class of 

 the Dark variety contained some excellent pens, and the cup was 

 awarded there. Brahma chickens of any variety were very 

 strong. The first prize was awarded to a handsome pen of 

 Dark, and the second and third to Light. Some of the Game 

 were too coarse, but the winners in all classes were very good. 

 In the class for Red both prize birds were of the Brown 

 variety, and the run for first honours was very close. The 

 third prize went to a very firm-handling Black Red. Duck- 

 wings carried off the cup, the pair being a perfect picture. 

 Second came Piles, scarcely forward in feather, but an excellent 

 pair ; the third were Duckwings, in which the only fault was 

 that the hackle of the cock was rather heavily marked. For 

 Game chickens of any colour, Black Red in full bloom were first 

 and Brown Reds second, the latter pen being of rare quality but 

 late in feather. Golden-spangled Hamburghs were fair, the first 

 and second prizes going to pairs composed of cockerel and hen, 

 and the third to young birds. Of Silver-spangled Hamburghs 

 only the winners were noteworthy, though the cup was awarded 

 to a splendid pen of chickens. Gold-pencilled "were poor, with 

 the exception of the winners, though these had the proper style 

 of marking. Silver-pencilled were good, but not in numbers. 

 Several pens of Hamburghs were empty. Of Spanish there were 

 only three pens ; Messrs. Nicholls's were very fine. French 

 Fowls were a very good class ; Creve-Cceurs of great merit were 

 first, Houdans second, La Fleche third. In the Variety class 

 Silver Poland chickens were first, and adult birds third, while 

 the second prize was awarded to Malays. Red Game Bantams 

 were very numerous, but many of the birds were poor, heavy 1 " 

 tails in cocks and pencilled wings in hens prevailing, though the 

 winners were of fair quality. The first prize went to a grand- 

 styled pair of birds, the only fault in which was a slight dulness 

 of the bar on the cock's wing; second came Brown Reds, third 

 Black Reds. For Game Bantams of any other colour first came a 

 capital pen of Duckwings, and second and third very good Piles. 

 Black Bantams were a capital class, the cup for the best pen 

 being awarded here. The first prize in the Variety class went 

 to Pekins, the second to WThite, and the third to Japanese 

 Booted. 



Both the Selling classes were very large, and there were many 

 cheap birds, the prizes in cocks going to Pile Game, Partridge 

 Cochin, and Light Brahma; while those for hens or Ducks went 

 to Aylesbury Ducks, Black Red Game pullets, and Cinnamon 

 Cochins. 



One class for Ducks completed the poultry section. The first 

 and cup went to Rouens, the second to Aylesburys, and the third 

 to Mandarins. 



The Pigeon classes contained some good birds, the Carriers 

 being foremost in that respect, and winning no easy affair. The 

 cup was awarded to a splendid Black cock. In hens the contest 

 was very close between a capital Black shown by Mr. Massey 

 and two Duns by Mr. Metcalfe, all these birds being of the 

 highest merit. Young Carriers were also a very good class, the 

 winners being all Blacks, the first and second hens, and the 

 third to all appearance a cock of great length of face and strong 

 beak, the only failing being in beak-wattle, which was a little 

 flat. In Pouter cocks a grand Blue of this year took the first 

 prize and cup ; Whites were second and third. All the prizes 

 for the hens went to White. Among Almond Tumblers first 

 came a cock, good in head, beak, and eye, and well-broken in 

 feather, the second and third being hens, between which it was 

 no doubt difficult to decide. In the class for Any other variety 

 of Tumblers the prizes were evidently awarded to head, beak, 

 and eye rather than feather, a Red whole-feather being awarded 

 the first prize, an Agate the second, and a Kite the third. Barbs 

 were young and smart, the winners were Blacks. Jacobins were 

 a very good class, and the first-prize pah' Yellow, the second
