ULVERSTON POULTRY SHOW. 
(From a Correspondent .) 
The second annual Exhibition of this Society was held on 
the 10th and 11th instant. The pens were arranged in the 
Victoria Concert Hall, in two rows, and numbered upwards 
of 260. 
The Game took precedence, and were, when a few pens 
were singled out, somewhat difficult to decide upon. This 
noble class of birds was well represented both in number and 
quality. It may be said by some that they are too fine and 
too small; but on handling them an old “ cocker ” soon finds 
out his mistake—they do not carry that exuberance of feather 
which is thought by many to be a great point of beauty in the 
Game cock, but are short in their hackle and other feathers, 
yet exceedingly fine and close; and a big bird is found in 
little room, possessing all the “ fighting points ” necessarily 
required in this pretty but pugnacious bird. 
Taking the Exhibition as a whole, with its general manage¬ 
ment, it reflected the highest credit upon the Committee, when 
it is remembered that it is only the second year of their 
experience in such matters. 
The Judge, Mr. Challoner, of Chesterfield, we understand, 
showed the greatest patience in coming to his decisions, and 
we have not heard of one complaint as to the awards. 
For the Single Game CocJc prize there were forty-seven 
entries, which included the names of the winners of the great 
prizes at Liverpool, Preston, and other noted places. These 
birds, however, were here obliged to succumb to Mr. Woods, 
of Osberton, Worksop. 
In Game (Black-breasted and other Beds) there were 
many good pens, and several very inferior; and we should 
not omit to notice two or three pens “ trimmed ,y to such an 
extent that they had made their fowls look remarkably ridi¬ 
culous. Mr. Woods again carried off the cup in this class. 
In Game Chickens the competition was exceedingly close; 
and Mr. Moss, in this class, worthily sustained the reputation 
he has gained as an exhibitor of Game. 
We must not omit to mention two pens (not for competi¬ 
tion) sent by H. W. Askew, Esq., of Conishead Priory. 
These beautiful little birds were the admiration of all. The 
handsome manner in which they w r ere marked, and their rich 
plumage, exceeded anything, we think, that the most profi¬ 
cient artist’s pencil could produce. The one was the Summer 
Duck from South America, and the other the Chinese Man¬ 
darin.
