JOUBNAL OF HOKTICULTUEE AND COTTAGE GAEDENER. 



[ January 18, 1872. 



fine peneillinfj but rather dark neeks of the second and third 

 pens had to frive way to the clear hackle of Mr. Beldou's paii-. 

 Spangles were a long way behind those of last year as a whole, 

 although the prize birds deserved their positions. 



In conclusion, Mr. Editor, allow me on behalf of a large num- 

 ber of amateurs, to express the hope that the Committee of the 

 Bristol and Clifton Show will not rejjeat their blunder of 1872. 

 If a preliminary subscription be considered necessary, let it 

 be on the same footing as Birmingham, four pens for every 32s., 

 instead of two pens for the same amount. Last year we had 

 433 exhibitors, this year 163. I leave this fact to speak for 

 itself.— P. 



It must now be clear to the Committee of the Bristol Show 

 that their obnoxious 20,5. subscription is not at all relished or 

 supported by the exhibitors in general, as evidenced by the 

 number ot exhibitors in 1871, against those of 1872. They 

 may say. We have not incurred any pecuniary loss by the altera- 

 tion, thanks to large exhibitors (or at least forced large 

 exhibitors) ; but the fact that there are only 163 exhibitors 

 this year against 426 last year speaks for itself, and will 

 caution the Committee that they must study the small as well 

 as the large exhibitor. 



I trust the Committee will endeavour to make some altera- 

 tion for the better so that this hitherto first-class Show may 

 redeem its lost supporters. It is not to be expected that the 

 Committee can carry on the Show at a loss, neither would any 

 one that had the least love for the fancy expect them to do so, 

 hut let all be placed on the same fair footing, whether great 

 or small exhibitors, and then the Committee will be large and 

 successfully supported. — Well-wishek.

NENTHEAD (CUMBERLAND) OBNITHOLOGICAL 

 SHOW. 



This Show was held on the 11th and 12th inst. A more chilly 

 or uninviting region for the culture of high-class poidtry it 

 would be diiiiciilt to conceive, and yet many excellent specimens 

 are reared and exhibited in most of the classes. 



In Game the adult birds were superior to the young, although 

 the second-prize pen of Black Eed chickens contained one of 

 the most perfect pullets it is possible to conceive. Of Ham- 

 burghs there were also some good specimens in most of the 

 classes, notably the first-prize pens of Silver-pencilled and 

 Spangled, although the best class in the Show proved to be that 

 for pairs of hens. The first prize and cup for the best pen ia 

 the Show were awarded to a pair of Golden-spangled hens, the 

 second prize to Spanish, the third to Game, and the fourth to 

 Silver-pencilled, which were, however, a little out of condition. 

 Bantams were not good, with the exception of the first-prize 

 Black chickens, and in Pigeons and Ducks there was nothing 

 remarkable. 



Of Cage Birds there was a good show, most of the birds being 

 in good trim. The cup for this section was carried off by a 

 handsome pair of even four-pointed Norwich, the Jonque bird 

 in this cage being perfectly marked. Those next in point of 

 quaUty were the Belgians and the Green Canaries, the latter of 

 which were of remarkable soundness of colour.
