JOURNAL OF HOKTICUXTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 



[ December 15, 1863. 



best Game Bantams in the Show consisted of several pens 

 entered in the wrong class. 



The Geese, Turkeys, and Bucks were decidedly good — in 

 fact, not a single variety was unrepresented, and that, too, 

 by the best of birds. 



The Pigeons at Leeds were a very interesting and excellent 

 portion of the Exliibition. We particularly noticed some 

 especially good White Powters, Dims, Carriers (which, by- 

 the-by, were qnickly snapped up at not a half of their value 

 dii'ectly the Show opened), and many varieties of beautiful 

 Tiimblers, though, strange to say, the Almonds were not 

 good. The White Owls were perfect gems ; and the Black, 

 as also the White, Trumpeters were scarcely less worthy of 

 notice. The prize Fantails were particulai-ly good, but 

 shown in the dirtiest feather we ever yet saw Pigeons. The 

 Tm-bits were of many colom-s, and proved a capital class. 

 The Jacobins were also superior. The class for " Any other 

 variety of Pigeons " was so well filled as to induce the 

 Judges to award an extra equal first prize. 



Among the odtlities of the Show, in the class for any 

 other variety of poidtry a pau- of the common Barn Owls 

 were shown. The novelty of their appearance interested the 

 visitors, but the poor Owls evidently considered themselves 

 in the wi-ong class, as much so as did the Ai-bitrators who 

 officiated. 



The weather, though windy in the extreme, was fine, and, 

 consequently, there was not any lack of visitors. 



The Club gave a Silver Cup for the best pen of poultry in the Show 

 ground, in addition to the money prizes.
