JOURNAL OF HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 



[ December 4, 1873. 



Brown Red class ; the first prize went to a very stylish Black 

 Red pullet. Dackwing and Piles in the cock class went to- 

 gether, Duckwings being the winners, but none proved of ex- 

 traordinary merit. The same may be said of the Duckwing 

 and Pile hens. Bantams in all varieties were well represented. 



Turkeys and Geese were also well shown. Ducks of all 

 varieties came out well. The Selling class was large and good. 

 Birds of most sorts fit to win in any open class at our largest 

 shows were prizetakers. 



Pigeons were a nice collection. The names of the winners 

 will show that the quality was good. There were a few slight 

 mistakes, but few grumblers were to be heard throughout the 

 Show.

AIRDEIE POULTRY SHOW. 



This Show was held in the Market Buildings, Airdrie, on the 

 23th and 29th November, and it was the best that has taken 

 place there both in point of number and quality. The Spayiish- 

 and Cochins that took first honours were the same birds as 

 gained the special prizes at Kilmarnock. The Game classes 

 were well filled with first-rate birds. The other classes do not 

 call for special mention. 



In Pigeons there was a decided improvement on former years,

CRYSTAL PALACE POULTRY SHOW. 



Being anxious to purchase ihe "White-booted Bantams which 

 took the first prize and cup (pen 2100), I took particular notice 

 of them, and, to my surprise, when I went to the Palace this 

 morning (November 18tli) I found the cock had exchanged peua 

 with one hipbly commended (pon 2000). I pointed out the faeb 

 to the Secretary and one of the Committee, who found th& 

 1 Judge who judged the class, and he gave it as his opinion that
