JOUENAL OF HOETICULTUEE AND COTTAGE GAEDENEB. 



[ Febraaiy 8, 1872. 



axe still objects of much interest and admiration in this district, 

 ■which some quarter of a century back was so noted for them. 

 Turkeys, Geese, and domestic Ducks were among the best fea- 

 tures of the Exhibition ; and in waterfowl kept simply for their 

 exqmsite beauty of feather and general liveliness of character 

 on artificial waters near private suburban residences, the Show 

 stood equal to any. This class proved so large and "well filled, 

 that at the request of the Judges au extra prize "was "willingly 

 granted, and even then scarcely a pen remained not fully worthy 

 of prizetaking. In this division Buenos Aj-rean Ducks were 

 first. Mandarins second, and American Summer Ducks third on 

 the prize list. The class for any variety of Bantams except 

 Game, and alniost all the classes for French fowls, were among 

 the best in the Show, and excited much attention from their 

 novelty in this neighbourhood.

DUNDEE POULTET SHOW. 



The first Show of poultry was held in the Kinnaird Hall, 

 Dundee, on the 1st and 2nd inst., and as far as regards the qua- 

 lity and number of specimens it was a success. The Hall, a 

 handsome building, is one of the best there could be for the 

 purpose. The pens used were those of Mr. Fothergill, of 

 Sunderland, and the arrangement and management of the Show, 

 though in few hands, was very good. 



AU the Dorkings in the Dark-Grey class were very good, and 

 the cup for the best pen of any colour was awarded to the adult 

 bird. It is seldom that so perfect a pen of adult Silver-Grey 

 Dorkings is seen as that which was first in its class, though 

 both classes contained good birds. Adult Sj>anish were of 

 fair quality, and the young birds were very line. The first- 

 prize pullet was a model. Adult Cochins in both chisses 

 were very poor, hut the chickens were good, the cup being 

 awarded to a pen of Buffs, in which the cockerel was strikingly 

 handsome. In Brahmas the cup went to a sound-coloured pair 

 of chickens, and the competition in this class was very close. 

 Of Game there were large and good entries, the competition 

 being severe in all classes. In single cocks a Brown Bed of high 

 quality was first, and Black Beds second and third. Following 

 these were the Eed Game hens, the first of which was a Black 

 Bed, very sound in flesh and tight in feather. Among Game 

 cocks of any other colour, an extremely good Pile cockerel was 

 first, and the cup for Game cocks was awarded to him, the 

 second and third-prize birds being Duckwings. In the class for 

 hens Duckwings won all the prizes. Hamburghs were shown 

 the Spangled in one and the PencUled in the other class. Silvers 

 in both cases carr-sring-off the first honoui-s, and the cup for the 

 section also. In Game Bantam cocks there were no less tha^ 

 forty entries, and the competition was keen, the first-prize bird 

 being a Black Eed, perfect in all points ; and the cup was also 

 awarded to this bird. The second-prize bird was fine in shape, 

 but a little short of colour; the third-prize one was good in aU 

 points, but larger than the rest. There were many others also 

 worthy of notice. Of hens there were twenty-four pairs, but 

 they did not show to the same advantage as the cocks, doubtless
