Honiton and East Devon Poultry Exhibition. — 
—The Second Annual Exhibition of the Honiton and East 
Devon Association for the Improvement of Domestic 
Poultry was held at Honiton, on Wednesday and Thurs¬ 
day, the 28th and 29th December, in the Market House and 
Poultry Market adjoining, which had been covered in with 
glass, and fitted up for the occasion, and everything done 
to render it comfortable for the birds and commodious for 
the visitors. The weather, unfortunately, was very unpro- 
pitious, a heavy snow-storm having fallen on the day 
previous to the Show, followed by a severe frost, which 
deterred many from visiting the Exhibition. But, notwith¬ 
standing, the attendance was very good on the first day, and 
on the second the numbers were largely increased. 418 
pens of birds were entered for competition, and the quality 
of the classes, with the exception of one or two, was such as 
has rarely been brought together at any Provincial Show. 
The Pen of Spanish , which took the first prize in class 
1, contained hens of surpassing excellence; and the Cock¬ 
erel in the first prize pen of Class 2 was a bird of con¬ 
siderable merit. The Coloured Dorkings were particularly 
I fine. The Cochin-Chinas were, as usual, the most numerous. 
! The Buff Chicken class was, however, the centre of attrac¬ 
tion, as it contained the rival pens of Captain Snell, of 
London, and Mr. Channing, of Heavitree ; the former gen¬ 
tleman having, through the local papers, challenged bis 
birds against those of all the amateurs in Devon and Corn¬ 
wall, which was accepted by the latter. The pens exhibited 
by both gentlemen were unusually fine, and although Capt. 
Snell carried off the palm, Mr. Channing may well be proud 
of his birds ; and many of the other pens in this class were 
of sufficient merit to have secured for them a prize at almost 
any local Show. The Malays were a very good class, and 
showed that in spite of the favour which their more recently 
imported neighbours have enjoyed, they still retain some 
kind patrons and friends. The Birmingham Prize birds, 
M Wallace” and “ Lord Lilliput,” appeared in this class. 
The Game Fowls, in all their varieties, were admirably 
represented, particularly in tbe Chicken class. 
The Hamburghs , with their gay and varied plumage, were, 
in all their classes, of great merit. 
The Polands were few in number, and, with the exception 
of two or three pens, not remarkable either for size or beauty. 
The Turkeys , Geese , and Ducks were all good, particularly 
the latter. In the Aylesbury class the competition was 
unusually severe. 
The Bantams comprised almost every variety, and were 
well represented, and among them was a pen of Silky Japan 
Fowls. 
The Pigeons were numerous, and, from their beauty and 
rarity, formed a very interesting part of the Exhibition. 
The prizes for Dead Poultry were a new feature. The 
entries were, however, comparatively few, and the poultry 
not of first-rate quality. The Exhibition closed at four 
o’clock in the afternoon of Thursday, and, with very few 
exceptions, the birds were dispatched to their respective 
homes the same evening. The Judge was E. Hewitt, Esq., 
Sparkbrook, near Birmingham.
