LEEDS POULTBY SHOW. 

 _ This excellent Show opened on the 10th inst., and was con- 

 tinned on the following two days. The entries in most classes 

 of poultry were very large, but in Pigeons quite the contrary, 

 and in Rabbits only moderate. In examining the specimens we 

 ionnd great difficulty, as the pens were arranged in double tiers, 

 and in consequence the light thrown upon the birds was a little 

 unequal. For the future we should recommend that the first 

 tier should be placed lower, with only the Bantams and Pigeons 

 on the top. Iu every other respect we are able to congratulate 

 •the Committee upon the arrangements and treatment of the 

 birds while in their hands. 



Game mustered 136 entries, and some of the birds were very 

 good. Of single Game cocks all the winners were Brown Reds, 

 the first-prize bird leaving little to be desired. In cockerels 

 also the winners were Brown Reds, and of good quality. Pullets 

 were likewise of fair quality, with the exception of the second- 

 ptrize Duckwings, which were a little red on the side. Black- 

 breasfced Reds -were not good in either class, but the Brown Reds 

 superior. Some of the Duckwings were good in colour, notably 

 the first-prize old cock, but there were a few exceptions. Dor- 

 kings were very good in both classes, Dark Greys being first 

 -and third among the adults, and Silvers second. Spanish were 

 very poor in most of the classes, the only exception being the 

 first-prize cockerel and also the first-prize pullets, which were 

 pretty good. Messrs. Taylor's grand old pen of Buff Cochins 

 won the cup for that variety, and also that for the best pen in 

 the Show. Bralimas were good in the old class, but the pullets 

 were only of moderate quality, Hamburghs were very good in 

 all classes The silver cup was awarded to a perfect pen of 



Silver-spangled chickens. Of the adult Hamburghs, which were 

 mixed classes, Gold were first and second, and Silvers third ; and 

 in Spangled, Golden were both first and second. The young 

 birds were, however, the great feature of the Show both as 

 regards numbers and quality. The first-prize Gold -pencilled 

 pullets were much admired. Silver-pencilled chickens were 

 also good ; the three winning pens were such as could not be 

 easily beaten. "We did not consider the Golden-spangled pullets 

 equal to the cockerels in that class, the latter being very good. 

 Black Hamburgh chickens were very good, perhaps as good as 

 any class in this section, and the winners pretty evenly balanced. 

 Polands were a fine display iu both classes. In old birds Gold 

 took first, White-crested Black second, and Silvers third ; and 

 in chickens Silvers were first and third, and White- crested 

 Black second. Of Game Bantams there were many entries, and 

 some of the birds were very good, the first-prize single cockerel 

 being a perfect gem. In Bantams, Blacks were very good, but 

 the Whites large and poor. 



The quality of the Pigeons was high in some of the classes, 

 the Carriers and Pouters standing well in that respect. In the 

 first-named class Blacks won both prizes, and the birds were 

 good in beak and eye-wattle. In Pouters Whites were first and 

 Reds second, the latter being a very handsome pair. In Short- 

 faced Tumblers Almonds were first, Black Mottles second ; and 

 in common Tumblers Red Mottles won both prizes. Fantails 

 were very good, the first-prize pair being well shown. The 

 first-prize Barbs were a neat pair of young Black, and the 

 second-prize birds were much older, but not in such good con- 

 dition. A very pretty pair of Yellow Jacobins were first, and 

 Reds second. 



The cup for the best pen of Pigeons in the Show was awarded 

 to a pair of Light Mottled Trumpeters of the new-fashioned 

 variety. 



Antwerps were veiy good, and the prizes were awarded to 

 Silver Duns. 



In the Lop-eared Babbits the first-prize went to a Sooty Fawn, 

 and the second to a Blue self colour. Angoras, all White, were 

 very good, as also the Himalayaus, and the first-prize Silver- 

 Greys of the right shade of colour. In the Any-other- vain.ety 

 class the first-prize winner was a handsome Grey- and- white 

 Dutch.
