THE COTTAGE GARDENER AND COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, July G, 1858. 
accommodate so goodly a collection, a substantial building of 
woodwork was erected, some sixty yards long by thirty wide. 
The roof being canvass only, gave an excellent opportunity of 
easy ventilation. 
The pens used were those of Mr. Turner, wireworks, Shef¬ 
field ; they are excellently adapted for the purposes intended, 
fighting being altogether impossible. We were much pleased 
to find that all the larger varieties of fowls had pens allotted to 
them two feet six inches high; so that even Malays, Cochins, 
and Dorkings, were both comfortable to themselves, and easily 
inspected by the large influx of visitors, without any trouble 
whatever. 
All the specimens were shown in single tier, save the 
Pigeons and Rabbits; and the avenues were left so comfort¬ 
ably wide, that the company, though great, experienced no 
inconvenience from pressure. 
The whole time the Show remained open, Sheffield pre¬ 
sented the appearance of a general holiday, all parties seeming 
personally interested in this annual festivity. 
A collation, at which some 300 individuals, of all classes, 
were seated, under the auspices of the Mayor, was provided 
on the day of opening, and at least 100 ladies were among 
those partaking of this refreshment. The scene was, therefore, 
a gay one, the weather fine as possible, whilst bands of music 
added an additional charm to the entertainment. 
Where all the poultry exhibited was so good, it would be 
invidious to particularise : indeed, a stronger proof of excel¬ 
lence could not possibly be adduced than that all the prizes 
were awarded. We will, therefore, confine our observations 
to the fact, that the classes for Spanish , Dorkings , Game of all 
varieties, Cochins , and Hamburghs , have very rarely been 
equalled ; whilst a reference to the prize-list will convince our 
readers how hardly won were most of the laurels of the suc¬ 
cessful ones at Sheffield. 
The Judges who officiated were, for Game, Mr. Challoner, 
of Worksop ; for Pigeons and Rabbits, the Committee re¬ 
tained the services of a local amateur ; whilst for the whole of 
the remaining classes of poultry, the awards were rendered by 
Mr. Edward Hewitt, of Spark Brook, Birmingham, and Mr. 
W. Tegetmeier, of London. 
We feel great pleasure in stating, in conclusion, that the 
Show just held far exceeded the one of last year, and, un¬ 
doubtedly, promises well to become one of the very first in 
the kingdom. Such success is entirely owing to the earnest 
efforts of the Committee, who evidently seemed determined 
to wave every other consideration to promote the well-doing 
of their Society, and we cordially hope future meetings of this 
important Association may prove equally successful.
