OWSTOIS T , ISLE OF AXHOLME, POULTEY 

 SHOW. 



The Owston Poultry Association celebrated its anniver- 

 sary on the 10th inst., and, notwithstanding numerous draw- 

 backs the Society continues to increase in usefulness and 

 prosperity. The Judge, Mr. J. Hoigkinson, of Hull, who has 

 officiated at this Show previously more than once, spoke 

 highly of the improvement to be noticed in the several classes 

 exhibited; and to show that his efforts had been appreciated 

 elsewhere, he was, on the preceding evening, presented with 

 a valuable gold watch and chain by the Cottingham Floral, 

 Horticultural, and Poultry Association. He pronounced this 

 show of poultry, &c, an excellent one, particularly noticing 

 three pens of chickens shown by Mr. F. Sales, of Crowle — viz., 

 Brown Red, Black Red, and Grey Game, and awarded each 

 pen a prize as extra stock. Several specimens of English 

 and foreign birds shown by Mr. G. E. Addey, of Epworth, 

 elicited great admiration, and were awarded a premium. 

 Although the number of pens was not so great the quality 

 of the birds was superior to former exhibitions, and evinced 

 the care in the breeding. 



The following is a list of the awards : — 



Dorkings.— Prize, F. Sales. 



Polands. — Prize, F. Sales. 



Game — Prize, F. Sales. 



Bantams. — Prize, W. Benson, Clarborough.

DOMLNIQUE FOWLS. 



Not being a regular reader of the Journal I am not aware 

 whether you have given any account of the Dominique fowl 

 previous to that published in the Number for July 12th, and 

 I therefore send an extract from the American Agriculturist, 

 containing an account of that variety. — F. H. 



" This well-known and much-neglected common fowl is 

 supposed to be an old and distinct variety, though usually 

 looked upon as a mere farmyard fowl — that is, the accidental 

 result of promiscuous crossing ; but there are several forms 

 among the barn-yard fowls, so called, that are seen to be 

 repeated generation after generation, the counterparts of 

 which are met with scattered here and there all over the
