THE TAVISTOCK POULTRY SHOW. 
The second annual Exhibition of Poultry, at Tavistock, 
Devon, took place in the Corn Market, on Wednesday, 
August the 2nd, in conjunction with the Exhibition of the 
Cottage Garden Society. The pens, 110 in number, which 
were hired from the Plymouth Poultry Society for the 
occasion, were ranged in single rows by the side and in the 
middle of the market. The poultry shown were mostly from 
layistock, Milton Abbott, and Kelley. The Dorkings, both 
young and old, were very decent birds; the Spanish were a 
great improvement upon the birds which used to be taken 
for Spanish; the Cochin-Chinas were not very good; the 
Game mustered in ubundance, and some first-rate birds 
were among them. At this place, as well as at some of the 
previous shows in the neighbourhood, first class birds were 
prevented taking prizes by being badly mated. One mag¬ 
nificent grey cock was with two hens of another variety. 
There were some capital White Aylesbury Ducks, and a pen 
of splendid young Geese was sljown by Mr. Rowe, of Milton 
Abbott. Many of the prizes were taken, as will be seen, by 
Mr. E. Cornelius, who is the hind of Mr. Kelly, of Kelly, 
whose birds were shown in capital condition. 
The judges were Mr. Terrell, of Ottery, Tavistock, Mr. S. 
C. Parkhouse, of Plymouth, and Mr. William Hunt, the 
Secretary of the Devon and Cornwall Society for the Im¬ 
provement of Domestic Poultry.
