HOLM FIRTH POULTRY SHOW. 
(From a Correspondent.) 
The Poultry Show, recently held at Holmfirtli, was, so far 
as the efforts of man were available, a successful one; the 
weather, however, was most unpropitious. With the Flower 
show, held under spacious tents in the same field, and 
described as really a most creditable one, as well as with 
the sheep, pigs, horses, &c., also exhibited, we have nothing, 
at present, to do. Though generally averse to laudatory 
notices, from such being made too common, and not always 
well-earned, it is a satisfaction, and but common justice, to 
state, that the spirit and exertion of the president and com¬ 
mittee called forth, from all who visited the show, expres¬ 
sions of great satisfaction with all the arrangements. And 
when it is stated that this was the first general or open 
show established at Holmfirth, the credit is the greater. 
The first pen of Buff Shangha.es were decidedly good birds; 
whilst the three prize pens, as well as the commended 
birds, in Chickens, were very superior. The other classes, 
however, were not worthy of special mention. Mr. Floyd’s 
(the president) Spanish were excellent; and it may be 
stated, that all the other classes were represented by very 
fair specimens. The Sebright Bantams (silver), were espe¬ 
cially commended as first-rate birds by the judges, and were 
purchased by one of them. It would be well if the judges 
at Birmingham would follow the example set at Holmfirth, 
where there was a notification on the pen, by the judges 
themselves, that certain Black Polands were disqualified, 
for the fraud practised in pulling or cutting off the black 
feathers from the front of the topknot. 
The Turkeys, Geese, and Bucks, were good; the Ducks 
especially so. 
The judges were Dr. Horner, of Hull, and Mr. Travis, of 
York. 
The Cottager’s classes were rather unequal in merit. The 
Spangled Hamburghs, as well as the Pencilled, contained 
numerous and good specimens. There were, also, some 
good Game Fowls, and one good pen of black Spanish 
Chickens. 
The following is a list of the awards made by the judges.

Carr, Wortley-hall, Sheffield; second, T. P. Crosland, Esq,, Gledholt.
