CHESTER FANCIERS' ASSOCIATION. ♦ ANNUAL SHOW. On Wednesday the Chester Fanciers' Asso- ciation opened their ninth annual two days' show of dogs, cats. poultry and pigeons, dressed fowl and eggs in the commodious Drill Hall, Volunteer-street. The entries in all classes were about the same in number as those at the last show, with the exception of the dogs, which were somewhat fewer. It was pointed out that the exhibition of poultry, &c., being held in conjunction with the dogs probably militated against the prospect of an entry in the canine classes of many noteworthy animals, and Mr. Tom Ashton (the dog judge) suggested it was very desirable to confine the show to dogs and provide more open classes. There were but few notable animals at Wednesday's show, and they were chiefly Welsh terriers, collies, retrievers, and fox terriers. The St. Bernards did not elicit favourable comment from the adju- dicator. Smooth collies were superior to the rough breeds, while the animals in the retriever class were probably the best in the show. Scotch terriers were a fairly good class, though no animal among them was worthy of being singled out for special commendation, and Irish terriers were adjudged to be of a moderate type. Wire-haired fox terriers were a much BUperior class to the smooth variety. In the collie bitch open class the Marquis of Anglesey obtained third prize for his dog Aline of Morton, and in the any other variety open class he entered three dogs—Winsford Uhenoo and Wynford Saidi—which were very highly commended, and Clevedon Spark, which was highly commended. A well-known fancier, in the person of Mr. O. J. Burgess, Swanlow, Winsford, gained first prize and two specials in the any other variety open class, for his valuable animal Winsford Blue ( £ 1,000), which also carried off first prize in the district spaniel class. Poultry was judged by Mr. E. Hutton, Leeds, and the classes were all tolerably well filled. The winners in the modern game classes were very good specimens, but the others hardly approached the ordinary standard of merit. Old English Lame coeks were of a decidedly inferior type, though some of the hens were finer. The two classes of Indian game contained the best poultry in the show, and the first prize specimen belonged to a well-known local poultry breeder, Mr. George Faulkner, Rowton, who holds a distinguished record as a prizewinner. This exhibitor also captured the special prize for the best pen in five classes. The winners possessed to an extraordinary degree the beautitul mark- ing and excellent outlines characteristic of the breed. Dorkings were as fine specimens as could be seen in a show of this kind. In Minorcas, the cocks excelled the hens, the winner of that sex owned by Mrs. J. Chaliinor, Middlewich, competing very keenly for the special prize in five classes, which was eventu- ally won by a very beautiful rock hen of Meears. Roberts Bros., Ruthin. Hamburgs were, in common with others throughout the country, a moderate lot, the principal com- petitor being Mr. Lawrence Booth, who carried off first, second, and third prizes in the hen class, where he was the sole exhibitor. Next in order of merit to Indian game were Plymouth Rocks, which were of so uniformly good breed that it was difficult to say which of the two classes was the better, several of the hens being of great size, and the most exquisitely marked that the judge had seen of late. Orpingtons were capital specimens, the special prize being won by Mr. E. C. Griffiths, Northwich, for a black hen of great size. That exhibitor was also awarded first prize in the cock class. Ducks were a capital section, the game being all of great size. Pekins were particularly large, and in the class for Ayles- bury or Pekin duck Mr. A. E. Jones, Malpas, supplied the winner in a duck of monster size. Pigeons were jadged by Mr. A. McKenzie, Liverpool, and the best section in that depart- ment was that of flying homers, which were of very good stamp, and appeared to be very good workers capable of flying long distances. Show homers were not numerous, but there were some of very good quality. There was a capital selection of tumblers, both long and short faced. A creditable class of dragons included some well-known prize winners. The show of pigeons altogether compared favourably with that of last year. Mr. Maitland, Heywood Lodge, Newton, was the principal prize winner with his homers, he being well known as a successful exhibitor in other parts of the country. Mr. W. L. Horbury, of Meals, won first and second in the Oriental frill class with two very typical birds. Cats were judged by Mr. Ashton. The management of the show was in the hands of the following committee:—Messrs. W. E. Little (chairman), L. Booth, J. A. Birchall, R. W. Boden, H. Bright, J. H. Dickson, G. Faulkner, the Revs. A. E.
