JOUENAL OF HOETIOULTDRB AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 



[ December 3, 1868. 



AyleaforJ, Mrs. Wilkin, and Mr. Fowler took the prizes, and many 

 were coiumended. 



A new show begins when we have to speak of the Oame. It is 

 impossible to do justice to the many classes within the limits of a 

 report. The Dnke of Newcastle most fully deserved the prize and 

 silver cup he took in Class 58. Messrs. Gardner and Wood deserved 

 to raak in the same cateRory. Mr. Wood was the most snccessfnl 

 exhibitor. We were struck with the beauty of the Duckwings; we do 

 not think we have ever seen them so good and so true. The Black 

 Reds were better, in our opinion, than the Brown Eeds, but all classes 

 were beautiful. 



Lnxtams were vers- good, but among the Golden-laced there was a 

 tcadency to sickle feathers. The Black were more numerous and 

 better than the Whites. The first prize in Varieties was given to 

 rumpless birds. The Game Bantams are like the G.ime fowls, so 

 numerous were the entries, and the qu.ility so good. Messrs. Eaton 

 and Parsons showed beautiful birds. -12 pons were in the prize list. 



The liouen Ditclcs again beat the Aylesburjs in weight and numbers. 

 We ccuuot speak too highly of them. The Black East Indians were 

 perfect. The first-prize birds were faultless in size and colour. What 

 shall we say for Girse ? They were giants. Mr. Fowler showed a 

 pair of birds, a gander weighing .'JTl lbs., and a goose 21 lbs. 



We may return to those subjects, but in the necessity that exists 

 for .1 hurried report, we cannot give the extended account we should 

 wish. 



The Turlceys were very good. We would particularly remark one 

 or two of the American cocks, that were really birds of beautiful 

 plumage. 



The arrangements were, as usual, perfect, and the gentlemen who 

 have been the originators and managers of this great Show were at 

 their posts, effoclive, urbane, and anxious as usual for the comfort of 

 all who were visitors to their great undertaking.
