Dorset County Pigeon and Poultry
Show.

We regret that the splendid show of 1881 cannot be
chronicled as • success, flit from any want of ener
or perever•nce on the part of the bou. secretary
r Parsons and the other membera of the I ciety (foe
ihey worked assiduously nodes the most depressing
circumstances), but on account of a severity of weatbse
unexampled in late years. But even if the show can.
not be said to be successful. am far as mont tary returns
are concerned, still the society have the satisfaction of
knowing that their display was equal to any in
England a. far as qu..lity is concerned, and but very
Idtle short as regards numbers,
'l'be grand feature of the show was the pigeon depart-
ment; a better display of dragoons it vould be imps-a-
mble to find, and carriers were also • magnificent clam.
In the former Mr. W. Osmond came to the front, and
Mr. W. Bishop was also very successful. As regards
the nuns, Mr. C. Parsons must he awarded the pa m.
the show was held in the Town Hall and Corn
Exchange, and the Magistrates' Room, each of which
was filled with specimens. In the Tows Hall, were
owl, 800 pens of pigeons, while in the Com Exchange,
the fowls and ducks were accommodated; and in the
smaller room was the exhibition of the cage birds and
stuffed specimens, dead poultry and egga
We were glad to see Mrs. Hayne, of Fordington, so
successful in the white dorkinp clam. Mr. F. R.
Sutton, of Came, won the first prise and cup in the
best Hamburg class, sad also Lord Alington's cup for
as Net pen of poultry in the show.
Messrs. Teebay and Dixon judged the poultry,
Mears. Jones and Eequilant the pigeons, and Mr.
billett, jun., the cage birds and stuffed specimens.
About £9OO was offered as prize money, besides 21
silver ceinn
