THE GEE,IT NOI?THERN PIG AND

POULTRY SHOW.

The third annual exhibition of the Great Northern.
Pig and Poultry Association, open to all England, took
place at Doncaster on Wednesday and Thursday (yester-
day). The principal features of the poultry department
were the game, the Spanish, and the coloured Dorking
classes. The game birds were allowed to be the finest
collection of that variety of fowls ever shown. The'
strongest competition was in the classes of black-breasted
and other reds, of which there were 90 pens against 61.
last year. Mr. Mellowes, of Carbaston, near Worksop,
obtained the first prize for the birds above one year old p
Mr. Frith, of Tarne-wood, Anston, the second prize ;
Mr. Mellowes the first prize for the chickens of the
same variety ; and Mr. Chaloner, of Steetly, near Work-
sop, the second prize. It may be remarked that the
game fowl is a farcurite breed in North Notts. The
classes of Spanish were well filled, and comprised some

by Mr. James Brown, of Rossington-hall, near Don-
caster, and the second by Mr. Edward Akroyd, Den-
ton-park, Otley. The first prize for the fowls of the
same breed was obtained by Mr. G. Hustler, Appleton,
Tadcaster ; and the second by Mr. Joseph Braddock,
York. The Shanghai or Cochin-China classes showed
a marked falling off in numbers,
ns compared with the
exhibition of last year, and no visible improvement in
quality. The first prize for cinnamon and buff variety
was won by Mr. Staley, North Collingham, near Newark.
The first prize for chickens of the same breed was
awarded to Mr. G. Hustler, Appleton, Tadcaster ; and
the second to Mr. J. H. Smith, Skelton-grange, York-
shire. There was au excellent show of all the varieties
of Hamburg fowls, which appear fully to maintain their
ground in the public estimation. Poland fowls were
brought forward in diminished numbers, and, as a fancy
breed, evidently do not increase in popularity. 'There
was a pretty good show of pigeons and rabbits. Turkeys,
geese, and ducks were but scantily represented, owing,
most likely, to the lateness of the season. The same
remark also applies to the show of pigs, which, how-
ever, included some splendid specimens of the porcine
species. The prize fat pig of a small breed, exhibited by
Mr. Godfrey, of Thorne, excited unqualified admiration.
