excellence, the cockerel capital in colour and shape, though 

 requiring more development — a better pen we have seldom 

 seen. In Any other Game, good Blacks were first in the old 

 class. 



In Polands White-crested Blacks, shown naturally, were 

 first, Silver second. In chickens Silvers were first ; the other 

 two prizes being awarded to White-crested Blacks, the third- 

 prize pen being excellent, and should have taken a higher 

 grade. 



Hamburghs were numerous and good, this district being 

 noted for these varieties, the Goklen-sp angled and Silver- 

 spangled deserving especial mention. Miss Beldon had a 

 large proportion of the prizes with pens wonderful in condi- 

 tion, and of great merit. 



_ Any other distinct breed brought out Mr. Dawson's beau- 

 tiful Sultans in old birds. In chickens Andalusian took first. 



The prize Game Bantams were capital ; and the Laced and 

 Other variety class contained many good pens. 



Mrs. Seamons added another triumph to her list in Ayles- 

 bury Sucks. The Rouen were, however, superior in quality, 

 the first and second pens more especially. 



Geese and Turkeys were an average lot.

PIGEONS. 

 In the Pigeon department the classes were well rilled. 

 Powters were good. In cocks a fine Blue was first ; and in 

 hens a lengthy White, rather short in leg, took a similar 

 position. Mr. Eden's highly commended White cock should 

 have had a step higher. In Carriers Mr. Eden had it all 

 his own way, for, with the exception of a highly commended 

 Black hen, there was nothing approaching the prize birds in 

 either of the classes. The first Almonds, and first and 

 second Black Mottled Tumblers were capital. Blue Beards 

 and Black Balds had first and second in the class allotted to 

 them. In Owls fine Whites took the prizes. In Turbits 

 Silvers in beautiful condition were first ; Reds, too coarse, 

 were second ; a good pair of Yellows were commended. 

 Good Red Jacobins took first and second in the class for that 

 variety. Fantails were not so good as we have seen. In 

 Barbs the first went to capital Blacks, the cock being de- 

 fective in the colour of the eye, otherwise good in every other 

 point, and accompanied by a fine hen — Yellows were second. 

 Dragons were numerous, the first-prize pen of Blues was 

 not equal to the highly commended pen of the same colour. 

 Trumpeters were not so perfect as are generally shown at 

 Halifax. The mottled cock in the first-prize pen was Mr. 

 Shaw's famous old bird, accompanied by a poor hen. In Any 

 other breed Blue Shields were first, and Satinettes second. 

 In the selling class Black-headed Nuns were first, and 

 Turbits second.

DEANE AGEICULTTTKAL SOCIETY'S POULTET 

 SHOW. 



This Society held their first Show on Wednesday the 31st 

 of August, in a field near the church. The rain fell very 

 heavily in the early part of the day, but the weather after- 

 wards cleared up, and was very fine, and the number of 

 visitors was consequently large. The pens of poultry were 

 not very numerous, but there were some very good birds. 



The Spanish headed the list, but only one pen was sent. 

 The Dorking were in very bad feather, dark birds being 

 first, and Silver Grey second. The show of Game cocks was 

 not very good ; and m the class for cock and two hens, Brown 

 Red took first, and Black Reds second. In the Cochin 

 class there were only two pens, Buffs taking first, and 

 Partridge second. In the Golden-pencilled there were some 

 very good birds ; the first-prize cockerel was beautiful. The 

 Silver-pencilled were not so good. In Golden-spangled only 

 three pens were entered ; but in the Silver-spangled class 

 there were some splendid birds, particularly the pullets in 

 the first-prize pen. In Polands Blacks were first, and Silver
