JOURNAL OF HOETICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 



[ Janaary 25, 1877. 



Houdau hen waa prettily marked and large. The cup went to 

 Creves, and a good pen they were, extremely deep in colour 

 and massive in frame ; a good pen of Li Fleobe taking second 

 honours, and Creves again third. Leghorns had a class in which 

 both oilours competed, and Whites were first and third. In 

 Minorcas good Blacks were first and Whites second, but they 

 carried too much of comb for our taste, as did all the prize 

 pens ; third, again, was taken by Blacks. The Variety class 

 ■was excellent; we noticed some splendid Sultans and good 

 Silkies. The Bantams alone made a show of themselves. The 

 cup Black Reds were good in colour and very stylish ; and in 

 Brown Reds a very neat pen secured the cup. The cock very 

 pretty iu head. lu Laced the first was won by a pair of Silvers, 

 even in markings and fairly small. In the variety Baatam 

 class Blacks were first, and good Booted second. Thirteen pens 

 in this oluBS were noticed by the Judge. 



The Waterfowl were good. The first Aylesbaryg were big 

 and clear in bills, while iu Rouens the cup pen was of fine colour 

 and very large. In East Indians the cup remained in the county. 

 We were glad to see a new name in the prize list, though that 

 of an old fancier of the breed ; winning seems all the season 

 to have been monopolised by two or three yards. The second 

 were very lustrous and neat in shape; third (Mr. Sainsbury's) 

 were in beautiful bloom, and we are glad to see that he has 

 changed his mind in not retiring. The Variety Duck class was 

 beautiful, quite a sight of itself, and fifteen pens of the seventeen 

 entered had cards. The cup pen was Carolinas in exquisite 

 bloom. 



Among the Pigeons the Pouters were of high merit, Mrs. 

 Ladd's grand White scoring another cup in hens ; the second 

 was Mr. Holme's celebrated I31ue. Turbits were excellent; Mr. 

 Burnell and Mr. Cresswell having a close contest for premier 

 honours in the Any other colour class. Fantails were splendid, 

 Mr. Serjeantson's Whites being marvellous iu tails and carriage. 

 Nuns had seven pens, and the Judge awarded the prizes, all 

 three of them, so we may believe that for once they had not 

 been so over-dressed as not to pass muster. We were pleased 

 to see so many Archang-ls and so much quality among them. 

 The winners seem to have been well selected, and an extra 

 second was given. The Dragoons were very strongly repre- 

 sented, and Messrs. Bishop and Osmond sending larga teams, 

 and not having Mr. Woods to oppose them, made havoc among 

 the prizes, though Mr. T. C. Burnell came in here aud there 

 with some good birds. Mr. Bishop won the Dragoon point cup 

 with, we believe, sixty points. In the Variety class Austrian 

 Pouters won first and Frillbacks second. In the collections Mr. 

 Baker came in a good first and took the cup, as too he did the 

 third prize as well. 



We hear the prize money has already been paid, and that the 

 birds were very speedily dispatchird at the close of the Show.

ACCRINGTON PIGEON SHOW. 



The first Show of the Acorington District Columbarian So- 

 ciety was held on the 19th and 20th inst. This Show was pro- 

 moted principally by Mr. Sutherland, the Secretary, assisted, 

 however, by a good Committee, and for a first attempt was most 

 excellently managed. There were upwards of three hundred 

 entries, which quite filled the room. 



Pouters were good but few, and Carriers, though in the hands 

 of but three exhibitors, were very good. In cocks Blacks won, 

 aud in hens Duns. The first in the latter class a capital bird, 

 on which we have often commented before as so excellent in eya- 

 wattle. In Barbs the winners were Blacks, the cocks all noticed. 

 Mr. Yardley'a grand hen was first in that class. There was a 

 good class of young birds, though some exhibitors, the losers 

 especially, contended that the winners were rather old-fashioned 

 birds. Jacobins were a grand class, the winners being Reds. 

 First an exquisite little Red hen, the second and third cocks. 

 In Owls first was the Silver so often referred to of late, the 

 second an excellent Blue. In hens the winners were all Silvers, 

 and many more deserved a place. Nans and Magpies both 

 very good; the winners in Magpies were all Reds. Almond 

 Tumblers added another clean eweep to the Yardley loft, and 

 in two cocks and one hen there was very little to choose. Fan- 

 tails were superior. In Dragoons, Blue or Silver, Walton-on- 

 the-Hill seems to be gaining ground, for here was scored another 

 victory to that loft with a Silver first and a Blue second. The 

 third, a little too large, was otherwise a fine one. In the next 

 class a Red was first, and Yellows second aud third ; and in the 

 young class first was a Yellow aud second a Silver. Dragoons, 

 any other colour, were — first Blue Chequer, as also the second, 

 and third a Grizzle. Antwerps were good in all classes, and iu 

 Shortfaces we see a tendency to the correct type rather than to 

 the medi-ums so often shown as Shortfaces of late ; and in Long- 

 faces the style and colour is far in advance of what has been 

 seen for the last few years. In the Variety class first was a 

 White Owl, second a Black Swallow, aud third a White Owl; 

 and in the Selling class first was a piir of Yellow Dragoons, 

 second Black Barbs, and third Blue Dragoons. There was an 

 excellent class of flying Pigeons, most of which were said to 

 have done extraordinary distances; there were, however, some 

 very likely birds.
