DORSET COUNTY P.9II4TItY AND PIGEON

fikkivi:

Thanks to the good generalship of Mr. C. Parsons,
the active and industrious hon. secretary of our
Poultry Show, and to the energetic assistance
rendered by Mr. Osmond, Mr. Biggs, Mr. Hogg, Mr
E. Burnett, chairman, Mr. H. hfayo, Mr. J. G.
Gregory, Mr. Ling, Mr. G. W. Andrewa, Mr.
Lipscombe, Mr. Sutton, and others of the committee,
She show has again passed off with great success.
Again r. very large number of entries, reaching almost
to four figures, rewarded the committee for their
liberal list of prises, and so large was the show that
most of the Corporation rooms were oceupied or
utilised for the purpose. The ma., ideates' room
contained a goodly number of dogs, including one, a
pretty Italian greyhound bitch which reposed on a
dainty cushion ,if blue velvet, edged with lace and
with ribbon true-love knots, this luxuriously lodged
animal being estimated at £3O, though that was
only the twentieth part of the estimate put on a little
Pomeranian in the market house. Theeorn Exchange
was full of poultry, in which the exhibition was
stronger than last year, in the Market house were
ducks, wildfowl, geese, and turkeys, and farther inside
were more dogs. Upetairs, in the Town Hall, was a
pretty show of pigeons, and the biw window of the
Hall was occupied with ahout a score of baskets of
eggs, neatly decked in green. The Council Chamber
was devoted to the 1.1, airs connected with the
schedules, and here Mr. C. Parsons went through very
onerous work unseen of the public, but of which our
lengthy prize lie: will give mime idea. The stewards
for poultry were: Mr. Ormond, Mr. H. Mayo, Mr.
F. R. Sutt in ( 'ame), awl Mr. B. F. Hogg for
Pigeon., Mr. Ling ; and for dogs—Mr. T. S. Biggs,
and Mr. Lipscombe, the latter of wh on examined all
the animals, to prevent any disease being introduoed
Into the show.
The invites: for poultry Me-are. Teebay and Dixon,
pigeons, Mr. P. 11. Jones ; doge, Rev. G. J. Hodson.
