MOELEY POULTET SHOW. 



This Show, held in connection with the Horticultural and 

 Agricultural Exhibition, took place on the 19th inst. ; and, 

 notwithstanding a wet afternoon, was attended by thousands 

 of people from Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, and the neighbour- 

 hood, all of whom appeared to take the liveliest interest in 

 the Show throughout. 



The Committee exerted themselves in a praiseworthy 

 manner, and succeeded in making the Show a complete 

 success, and everything passed off well. 



The show of poultry was not large, yet in many cases 

 the birds were of good quality. Of course the lateness of 

 the season caused the adults to show disadvantageously. 

 A nice Black Eed Game stag, though a little too narrow 

 across the shoulders, won first prize for cock of any breed, 

 and a decent Brown Eed cock was second. A fair pen 

 of Brown Eed chickens were first in their class, and a 

 pretty pen of Black Eeds were second. This position 

 would have been reversed but for the cock in the second 

 pen being slightly Duck-heeled. A good pen of Duckwing 

 chickens won, and had the sectional prize for the best pen of 

 Game fowls exhibited awarded to them. A capital pen of 

 Silver-pencilled Hamburgh chickens walked over, and had 

 the sectional prize awarded to them. Bantams, though not 

 numerous, were good in each class, and a capital pen of 

 Black Eed Game won the sectional prize. Spanish were very 

 meagre, and, unfortunately, a very good pen of chickens, 

 belonging to Mr. Cannan, were disqualified on account of 

 being in the adult class. A good pen of adult Cochins, 

 belonging to Mr. Beldon, won the sectional prize. 



There was a nice show of Pigeons, and a. few pens of Babbits 

 were exhibited.

POULTEY AT THE DEEBY AGEICULTUEAL 

 SOCIETY'S SHOW. 



{From a Correspondent.) 

 The annual Exhibition of the Derbyshire Agricultural 

 Society was held at Derby, in the cattle market, on Friday 

 September 16th. The poultry was not the least attractive 

 feature in the Show, and the improvement in point of breed, 

 as well as number, was very manifest, there being nearly one 

 hundred pens exhibited. 



In Coloured Dorkings Mr. Hill showed a very fine pen, the 

 Countess of Chesterfield being second. Mr. Faulkner's 

 Whites, which were the first at the Sparkenhoe Farmer's 

 Club, well merited tho same honour here, although there 

 was none to oppose. Spanish showed very well, the first- 

 prize birds being excellent, as well as the cock in the second- 

 prize pen. The Game classes, as a whole, were very good, 

 Mr. Spencer's Whites being everything that could be desired. 

 In Hamburglis Mr. Campion's Silver-pencilled well deserved 

 the honour they obtained. Mrs. Hurt carried off the premium 

 for Dorking chickens, and the Countess of Chesterfield 

 was second. Many of the Game chickens promised well. The 

 first-prize Cochin pullets were splendid birds, but the cock 

 was not their equal. Whites were second with a capital 

 pen. 



For Eouen Ducks there was no competition; but the 

 second-prize Aylesbury were very large, though rather short 

 of breed compared with the first. Geese and Turkeys were 

 good, though the entries were few. Last, though not least, 

 was Mr. Fountain's pen of White Muscovy Ducks, which. 

 deservedly received a high commendation as extra stock.
