New England Poultry Club.
The sixth Exhibition Of this Club took
place at Worcester, Mass, on the 9Th,
9th and 10th ults. The arrangements
were good, the attendance large, and the
best Of spirit prevailed throughout The
number Of contributors, we were told,
reached near three hundred, embracing
the best known breeders Of the Old Bay
State, with very light sprinkling from
Rhode Island, Vermont and New York,
The New England character of the club
was mainly Massachusetts, only one of the
enterprising Connecticut poultry breeders
having put in an appearance, Of all the ex-
hibitors of choice stock at New Haven
last fall. 1t has never been our fortune,
in so large a collection, to find SO very
few inferior fowls; while the large ma
.iority were the very best representatives
of the different breeds,presented by breed
ers of established merit and character.
Ofthe French breeds the Houdans and
Creve-Ceurs were largely represented,
with two coops only of La Fleche, Black
Spanish, Colored Dorkings, Light and
Dark Brahmas, Buff, Partridge and Black
Cochins we marked as particularly fine.
The show of Plymouth Rocks was very
large and fine, though hardly superior to
the large number of Dominiqucs. White
Dorkings Gold and Silver Hamburgs,
the Gold and Silver Polands, with the
Black, Red, and Gray Games, though not
as numerous, were, for the kinds, not in
ferior. And our proud little friends, the
Bantams, piping their horns, were not to
be overlooked. The number Of geese,
ducks, turkeys and other fowls were not
numerous or marked by any peculiar ex-
cellence worthy Of more note tl,anis made
in the awards.
There are several coops of which we
would particularizc with pleasure; but
where all deserve the need Of praise, it Is
the more difficult TO the officers Of the
club, as we'll as individual members, we
are indebted for courtcsies, which render
such flying visits enjoyable.
