a pair of English. They were good birds, hut M-e did not think 

 them well matched enough to merit this distinction. The 

 Turbits were a large class, and here the competition was very 

 close. Vt'e liked a highly-commended pair quite as much as the 

 winners. The first prize for Fantails was taken by the Rev. "W. 

 Serjeantson with an exquisite pair. The first prize in Jacobins 

 "Went to a pair of Reds — it was an easy win — the second to a 

 pair of Whites rather splashed. In the Trumpeter class, Mr. 

 Fulton again won both prizes, and another cup over four classes 

 "with some magnificent birds of the newly-imported type. A 

 very fine pair of the old style belonging to Mr. Hardy were 

 highly commended. Magpies were strong in numbers, but only 

 moderate in other respects. The Any variety and Selling classes 

 were worthy of attention. 



We are pleased to add that the arrangements were very com- 

 plete, and that the Committee were most courteous and at- 

 tentive to the exhibitors and visitors. 



All -will rejoice at the snccess of this Exhibition, which has 

 made gigantic strides in its short life. I trust it may not out- 

 grow its strength. The Committee this year decided to try a 

 class for Malays, and fourteen entries of this breed were made. 

 My object in these few lines is to point out to committees that 

 Malay breeders have very fairly responded to the iu^-itation, and 

 that this class was not by any means the worst payer to the 

 Exhibition. Considering that a portion of the cup was presented 

 by Malay breeders, it becomes rather a question how many 

 breeds paid better. Light Brahmas were certainly first, Dark 

 second, and lloudans third. I am, then, disposed to think that, 

 considering the subscriptions of Malay breeders, the JIalays 

 would come next. Whether this be so or not, as nearly all the 

 classes had the same amount of prize money, the Malays have 

 at least shown they are very slightly behind many classes that 

 are never left out in the cold, as they mustered fourteen pens; 

 while Buff Cochins, Game cockerels only mustered sixteen, a. 

 point equalled by both Polish and Black Hamburgh. Partridge 

 Cochins were only fifteen, whilst Dorking (Any other variety), 

 French {Any other variety but Houdans), and Silver-pencilled 

 Hambnrghs only reached respectively twelve, eleven, and nine 

 pens ; yet would any show of moderate proportions argue that 

 Silver-pencilled Hambnrghs should be left out ? I trust that 

 other committees in framing their schedules will not omit them, 

 and not insult them, as Birmingham does, by offering them 

 second prizes value 10s., each entry being really 8s., to say 

 nothing of railway carriage. — Joseph Hinton, WarDiiiister. 



P.S. — I regret to say that my cup Malay cockerel has returned 

 minus the whole of one sickle feather, apparently pulled out, 

 and the other broken off in the middle. In a yoimg bird such a 

 result can hardly be a simple accident. There was no feather 

 in the hamper.— J. H.
