JOUKNAL OF HORTICULTUBE AMD COTTAGE GAHDENEK. I December is), 1887. 



In Sucks the Eonen far eclipsed the Ajleabnry, both in numbers 

 and qnality. 



Baidanis were exceedingly nnmcroiis, no less than fifty-five pens of 

 Game being entered, a fact which may possibly snggest to the Com- 

 mittee the advisability of either dividing the class or increasing the 

 prizes. Mr. Entwistle took the cnp for Game, while the Blacks "took 

 the cup for the best pen of Bantams.

DORKING rOUIiTKY SHOW. 



On the l'2th inst., the Dorking Poultry Society had its annual Show, 

 and the exhibition was a most successful one. It was held in the 

 assembly room of the Eed Lion Hotel, the most conveuient and 

 snitablo place that could have been selected. The weather was agree- 

 able, and this, coupled with the extensive character of the display, 

 secured a large number of visitors. Altliongh not specifically 

 announced, yet the Society's chief object is to encourage and develope 

 the breeding of the several varieties of Dorking poultry, and tliis it 

 bids fair to be iufluentially successful in. Tlie Society is, of course, 

 mainly local, hat nevertheless it presented prizes (the most valuable) 

 open to all Euglaud : and as the Society becomes more known, this 

 fact, in additiou to the attraction of exhibiting the Dorking breed in 

 what is commonly looked upon as its native place, and from which it 

 derives its name, must secure it many others beside local exhibitors. 

 The general arrangements of the Show were very carefully carried out, 

 but there was no catalogue. 



In all there were 107 pens, giving nearly 330 birds in the exhibition. 

 The class of coloured Dorkings was the largest, but there were thirteen 

 pens of Bine Speckled, and twelve of the White variety. The birds 

 shown were in nearly every case in good condition, and many were 

 remarkably fine specimens of their varieties. The birds which took 

 the first prizes in the open classes, belonging to D. C. Campbell, Esq., 

 M.D., drew foi-th warm eucominms. The male bird in the first pen 

 took the prize at the Brighton Show in the early summer, at that at 

 Ockley lately, as well as at several of the great provincial exhibitions. 

 A statement appears to have gone abroad that the birds to which we 

 are particularly alluding formed part of the fine breed lately belonging 

 to Lady Holmesdale, but we are assured that, although Dr. Campbell 

 was a purchaser of several of her Ladyship's best birds, those which 

 have been successful here and elsewhere are Dr. Campbell's own breed- 

 ing.

 transacted with energy and ability by the Secretary, Mr. Butcher ; 

 and the duties of Judge were efficiently and impartially discharged 

 by Mr. John Wood, of '^''estcott. — {Siirmj Adcertistr).
