SEPTEMBER 15, 1855.] ~~1 dill C PK-111 =fit THE POULTRY SHOW AT ANERLEY GREAT success has attended this exhibition. Although was entirely experimental, the amateurs and agriculturists " all England" took advantage of the opportunity, and di played the results of their breeding and rearing skill. great number of the aristocracy proved their interest things rural, by flocking to Anerley Gardens, and even " tl public" showed an equal amount of appreciation. Of tours the important matter was to know on whom the prizes hl been conferred. And here it was amusing to note the peel liar appellations of the birds. Mr.,Twose, of Bridgewa at t o gained the first pri ze for two " nuns," pigeons not demure ; Mr. G. C. Adkins, of Birmingham, for two " arc] angels;" Mr. Harrison Weir, the well-known artist, for tv " Jacobins ;" Mr. Weir, again, for two " trumpeters ;" ax Mr. E. Maddeford, of Staines, for his " dragons." T] practical results of the show promise to be most gratifyin Already, we find it stated, the attention paid to breeding al feeding has increased four-fold the productive powers of w o English poultry , and surel y nothing more magnificent ever seen than the display of Dorking and other fowls lc Anerley. For, it should be. remarked, the show was fanciful than utilitarian. It was not a collection of feather curiosities, of eccentric poultry, crossed and fattened, so to confuse and contradict nature ; but a genuine - the advancement of our rural economy. There were, inch beautiful specimens of the partridge-feathered Cochin-Chi he brasiy-winged game fowl, the gold-pencilled Hambur, gold-laced Seabright bantam, and many varieties .pigeons and doves, but the bulk of the • pens cc tainea bolidpoultry, of legitimate value, naturally bred, developed . to -a high point of perfection.
