Exhibition of Poultry, Pigeons, and Cage Birds at Yeovil: … The first prize taker in Class 1 (and which also won the cup in this class) belonged to Mrs. Butler Smith; it is a fine pullet and will grow into a magnificent bird. The second bird was the property of Mr. W. S. Pinsent and took the cup at this show last year. It has however, to use the words of a well known fancier, “been over-shown” and is losing feathers. The third (shown by Mr. J. Hebditch Sratton, Ilminster) was a cockerel of good colour having a magnificent comb and beautiful white feet … Prize List: Poultry: Class 1: Dorkings, coloured (cock): £1 10s, Butler Smith, Nottingham; 15s, W.

Taunton Courier and Western Advertiser: Wednesday 17th January 1883

Commencing with the poultry classes, the old English Breed of Dorkings took the first place, according to the general custom of these shows. The coloured cocks of this breed were twelve in number, the first prize being awarded to Mr. W. S. Pinsent, of Newton Abbott. A finer and handsomer bird, either as regards size, shape, or plumage, could not have been found anywhere. The second prize went to Mr. Smith, of Nottingham, and was a little inferior, but whether the third prize might not as well have been awarded to Mr. Hebdich’s highly commended cock, is a question for fanciers. There were other nice birds in the class as well. The coloured hen Dorkings mustered seventeen entries, which were in no way inferior to the male birds. The first prize shown by Mr. B. Smith of Nottingham was in every respect a first-class specimen of bird. Mr. Pinsent has the second, and the judges commended the whole class … … Poultry: Dorkings (coloured cock): 1st and 3rd, W. S. Pinsent, Newton Abbot; 2nd. B. Smith, Nottingham, h. c.  J. Hebditch, Stratton, Ilminster and J. R. Lewis Carmarthen: Dorkings (coloured hen), 1st, B. Smith, 2nd, W. S. Pinsent, 3rd W. Snell, Stampford Class highly commended.

The first and cup went to a massive bird of the old-fashioned stamp. It was thought by many local exhibitors that though this bird possessed some good points, its ugly head and feet would have told much against it. Dorkings hens were also a good class, many of the birds running each other closely. The prizes went to dark birds. … Poultry: Class 1: Dorkings, Coloured (cock) – £1 and cup, Miss Julia Milward, Newton St. Loe; 10s Captain Phillips, Timewell, Morebath; 5s Mr. T. Palmer, jun.
