NOTTINGHAM CENTRAL POULTRY 
ASSOCIATION. 
( Communicated .) 
We have great pleasure in calling the attention of our 
readers to the announcement of the great annual Exhibition 
of Poultry, Pigeons, Canaries, Rabbits, &c., which will be on 
view on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next, the 20th, 
21st, and 22nd inst., at the Mechanics’ Hall, Nottingham. 
This is the second Exhibition of the kind that will have been 
witnessed in Nottingham, the Association having inaugurated 
their first excellent Poultry Show, as most of our readers are 
aware, in the commencement of 1857. 
From the exertions of the Committee and their indefatigable 
Secretary, we are convinced that no effort or expense has been 
spared in making this unique and attractive Show complete in 
every respect. Great improvements are observable in the pre¬ 
parations, by which the arrangements will vastly excel those of 
the former Exhibition. A large temporary structure of wood 
and glass has been erected on the vacant piece of ground, at 
the rear of the Hall, measuring ninety-two feet by thirty-two 
feet; covering an area nearly equal to that of the Hall itself. 
This is designed to accommodate 500 pens of poultry, 
arranged so as afford ample space for the convenience of 
visitors in inspecting the beautiful specimens of birds that will 
be offered for competition. By this advantageous addition to 
the capabilities of the Mechanics’ Hall, the other departments 
of the Exhibition will be seen to greater perfection in the large
