DUDLEY HILL POULTEY SHOW. 



The second annual Show of the Dudley Hill Floral, Hor- 

 ticultural, and Poultry Society, was held at Dudley Hill, on 

 Saturday the 27th of August. The day was fine and the 

 visitors numerous ; and there is every reason to believe that 

 the usefulness of the Society is becoming apparent to all the 

 inhabitants of the locality; and doubtless another year will 

 witness an augmentation of the prize list. 



There were twenty-one classes for poultry, and thirteen 

 for Pigeons, but the latter were not well supported with 

 entries, though in poultry there were a good number of pens 

 comprising some very good birds. Mr. Cannan took a large 



amount of the prize money, and showed well in most of the 

 classes. 



In Game Mr. Hodgson showed some very good pens ; and 

 in Game Bantams Mr. Tetley had a splendid pen of Furnace. 

 We noticed some pens that had their legs very neatly done 

 over with green colouring. 



In Geese there was a beautiful pen of Spanish.

PUDSEY POULTEY SHOW. 



The first Exhibition of Poultry and Pigeons, in connection 

 with the Pudsey Floral Society, took place on Tuesday, 

 August the 30th. The day was fortunately very fine, and 

 the Show was well patronised, the press of visitors becoming 

 so great in the evening that it was very difficult to obtain 

 a fair view of the specimens exhibited. 



The entries were very numerous, pens being shown by 

 the best Yorkshire and Lancashire exhibitors, though some 

 of the latter did not pat in an appearance. 



The class for Spanish contained a most excellent pen of 

 chickens, which will doubtless stand high at many more 

 shows. Cochins and Brahma Pootras were not as good as 

 might have been expected. Most of the Game shown were 

 in bad feather, but otherwise good. Of Golden-spangled 

 Hamburglis there were pens not to be easily beaten : and 

 the Silvers were also very good. Golden-pencilled Ham- 

 burghs were a good class, and an extra second prize was 

 awarded for them. In Silver-pencilled Mr. Sharpe exhibited 

 a pen containing a cockerel of rare quality; and the Black 

 Hamburghs were both numerous and good. Of Game Ban- 

 tams there were some excellent specimens ; but the class for 

 Black and White contained birds that, for the most part, 

 were suffering from the moult. In Bantams the Any other 

 variety class was the most interesting. The first prize went 

 to a neat little pen of Cochins, the second to a perfect pen 

 of Silver-laced, and the third to Silkies. Polands were first- 

 rate. 



Aylesbury Bucks were very fine, but the variety class for 

 Ducks was much better. The first prize went to a perfect 

 pen of tame-bred Wild, and the second to East Indian. 



In single cocks the first, second, and fourth prizes fell to 

 Game, the third to Brahma Pootra, and the fifth to Spanish. 



Of Pigeons there were fifty-one entries, comprising excel- 

 lent specimens from the lofts of Messrs. Clarkson, Edge, 

 Hughes, Yardley, Cowburn, Haansbergen, and Jessop. The 

 birds were well fed and watered during the day, and all were 

 despatched to their homes the same night. 



The pens used on the occasion were Turner's, of Sheffield.
