BATH AND WEST OF ENGLAND POULTRY 
SHOW. 
In the report of the Poultry Show at Dorchester in the I 
Society’s Journal, by S. Pitman, Esq., the Steward, there are 
many matters interesting to exhibitors. For instance: “ Much 
difficulty and disappointment have arisen from amalgamating the 
classes Gold and Silver Hamburglis ; still, when it is considered 
that only three or four entries are annually made, it must be 
obvious that the union becomes financially a necessity. At a 
future Exhibition an attempt may be again made to give separate 
prizes, but their continuance will depend upon exhibitors sup¬ 
porting the classes.” As many complaints have been made of 
these varieties being obliged to compete together, I hope at 
Truro next June a sufficient number will compete to warrant 
the Steward in continuing this important alteration. Again: 
“ For the future improvement of this department, exhibitors 
generally have urged the importance of increasing the amount of 
the second prize. The perfection now acknowledged to he 
attained by certain breeders deters entries of very good speci¬ 
mens for the cup, and the small amount of £1, with a 5s. 6d. 
entry-fee to be deducted, makes it of little value to contend for
