JOURNAL OF HORTICULTUBE AND COTTAGE GARDKNER. 



[ July 4. 18G7. 



mfltied, as the matter was carried ont with a practical cftrefnlneBfl that 

 vodIH elude any bat the verr cloBCst inspection of the Jodpe, by 

 koDdling oat of the pen. The principal tail feather of the cock had 

 I>een stitched together very ariistioolly elope to the roots of the f eatheorB, 

 and so neatly as to cause not any inconTt-nience or expression of dis- 

 comfort to the bird itself \Fhilst vie^vcd in the pen. Onr readers may 

 form a very ready conception of this unpleasant affair, from a jocose 

 remark of "a bystander, that "this rock must have surely belonged to 

 a Venetian blind manufacturer." It did not, however, but was the 

 property of Mr. Crosaland, of Wakefield. It is really a matter worthy 

 of coueideration, whether the lustre of former succefises is not mate- 

 rially dimmed bv the tarnish of such an exposition ; independently of 

 the acknowledp;ed fact that not only, if fairly fhown. would this pen of 

 C^^mc Bantams have won first prize in their own class, but in evtry 

 probability the silver cup as well for the best pen of Bantams exhi- 

 bited. Even as it was, the same owner took first prize with another 

 very excellent pen in the same class, quite outstripping all other com- 

 petitors. Some very truly bred Cochin Bantams were the cnp-winners, 

 ft'nd both White and Black Bantams were pood and in capital feather. 

 Mandarins, Carolinas, and Pintail Dvrls were to be seen in first- 

 pate breeJinp plumage, which is a very remarkable circumstance ao 

 late in the season. 



The I'if/eon classes were of the biphest character, and the show of 

 German Toys was most unprecedented. A pen of the real American 

 Passenper Piteous were public favourites, but their unceasing efforts 

 for liberty detracted much from the pleasure of inspection. 



As before noted, the day being so very fine, the attendance was 

 nnasually good.

rOULTRY SHOW AT BRIGHTON. 



Tms is an age of shows, aud we are not sore that poultry did not 

 inaugurate them as the events of yearly occurrence at tho same place. 

 It is more than twenty years ago that one was held at tho Zoological 

 Gardens, aud tbey have gone on ever tince ; but in twenty years a 

 new generation springs up. and brings its new ideas into the manage- 

 ment. In some cases dogs and horses lend their attractions. In others, 

 as at Salisbury and Brighton, the fine arts are enlisted. Pictures, 

 articles of vertu, manufactures, all thint^s, are exhibited at the same 

 time. It answers the purpose of filling the town, and those who are 

 especially fond of only these attractions, being on the spot, visit all. 

 At these county meetings machinery plays a great part, and the ex- 

 hibition is no longer confined to mere ploughs, harrows, scarifiers, 

 winnowing and horse mowing machines, turaip-cutters, and so on ; 

 objrtu dc hurr, in the way of fireplaces, garden seats, are in great 

 variety, and lately we have seen statuettes, aud figures in bronze. 



The ( round at Brighton was happily chosen, and much of the in- 

 ternal arrangement of the Koyal Agricultural Society of England was 

 profitably copied. 



The old Dorhinf/s were very good, and many of them very heavy, - 

 the first-prize birds of Dr. Campbell were highly meritorious, and in 

 marvellous condition, if the time of year be considered. Cliickena 

 were also good, but there was in the prize pen an indication of gouty 

 feet. As we published the names of the successful last week, we shall 

 only now advert to those birds that demand especial notice. The 

 "White Dorkings were all good, but weak in numbera. Game mado 

 amends. The Brown Keds were capital, so were several pens of Black 

 Beds. Tlie other class of Game showed a rarity in three pens of 

 Blues. iSpnmsh were very good, both in numbers and quality. The 

 hens showed best, as many of the cocks showed with disfigured combs 

 from the last long winter. Adult Cochina showed badly ; they wera 

 outnumbered by the Chicken class, and by the Whites. Brahma. 

 Pootras were good in every respect, and the competition was close. 

 The birds shown by the Marchioness of Bath were vei^ good. There 

 were excellent fianibimihs in all classes, the Pencilled being better 

 than the Spangled. The roUinds were excellent, and good enough to 

 win against much greater competition. The Game i>a'i(am5 far out- 

 numbered and outweighed their Sebright brethren. The Duck-wings 

 were very good, and there were excellent Piles. 



Aylesbury aud Eonen Ducks were not ramcroas. Geese were ex- 

 cellent. In the Variety class of Ducks, there were Muscovy, Buenos 

 Ayrean, Blue, Grey, and Mandarin. The 7'urlrys were perfect, the 

 first-prize in weight, the second in colour. We hardly ever saw birds 

 so beautiful as the Marchioness of Bath's ; they were sold immediately. . 



rif/cons were excellent in most classes. Carriers showed largely. 

 Tumblers were so equal in merit it was difficult to adjudicate. Jaco- 

 bins. Fautails, Owls, Trumpeters, Barbs, and Archangels all perfect. 

 In the Distinct varieties, a most excellent pair of Pigeons called Ice 

 Pigeons were much noticed. We should like to know how they gained 

 the name. 



The Judges were H. Loder, Esq., Tho High Beeches, Crawloy ; and 

 Mr. Baily, of Mount Street, London.
