Honiton.— The First Exiiibition of the Honitou Associa¬ 
tion for the Improvement of Domestic Poultry ivas held in 
that town on Wednesday, January 12th, 185-'j, in a spacious 
building, 110 feet long, erected by Mr. Ward, of the Clarence 
Hotel, for the manufacture of railway carriages. 
17!) pens of poultry and pigeons were entered for competi¬ 
tion, and arranged around the building in baskets similar to 
those recommended by our correspondents, Messrs. Jessop. 
From the quantity of poultry bred in the district, and sent 
weekly to the London market, a good show was anticipated, 
but the result must have far .surpassed the most sanguine 
expectations of its promoters. Following the order of the 
catalogue, the 6})aih.s7i first claims our attention; and, not¬ 
withstanding Devonshire is noted for its breed of black fowl, 
there called “ Minorcas,” we were glad to observe several 
pens of superior Spanish, having all the characteristics of 
that breed fully developed. 
The Dorking class was the best in the exhibition, and the 
whole received the high commendation of the judges. 
Several of the pens contained first-rate specimens; the birds 
in some of them were not so well matched as might be | 
wished, but this future exhibitions will coiTcct. 
The most attractive class, however, was the Shanghae, 
which contained many beautiful specimens. The first prize I 
was awarded to birds which were highly commended at j 
the late Birmingham Show. j 
The wore better represented than at many recent i 
exhibitions. The prize medal birds at Birmingham taking I 
only a second prize. j 
The Game fowls occupied only four pens, and were not , 
the best specimens of this beautiful variety of poultiy. 
In the JIumhurgh class, a pen of Silver-spangled birds was I 
pronounced by the judges the most perfect in the exhibition. 
The Silver-pencilled were very good. The cock and one 
hen, in No. 7:i, belonging to E. S. Drewe, Esq., were nearly 
perfect, but the other hen deprived the pen of all chance of 
a prize. 
Several splendid specimens of Golden Polands, and an 
excellent pen of Black Polands, attracted univereal attention. 
The Cross Breed and Barn Door Fowl mustered in great 
force. The first prize was awarded to a good pen of Cuckoo 
fowls; and the second prize, and the prize for chickens, to 
birds veiy much resembhng the Sussex breed. 
Bantams were indifferent. Geese few, but good. 
The Ducks were highly meritorious, and received especial j 
commendation. The Aylesbury ducks, which obtained the 
first prize, were particularly fine. | 
Turkeys were excellent. The cock in No. D18, belonging . 
to It. T. Head, Esq., Exeter, a very superior bird. 
A large variety of Pigeons were shown, and some of them 
very splendid birds; but from the greater part being 
crowded in small pens the effect was destroyed, and the ; 
judges had great difficulty in awarding prizes. , 
The. Judges were the Bev. J. C. Fisher, He.avitree, near 
Exeter, and G. J. Andrews, Esq., Dorchester.
