any fnturo stow. Wo lilccd the old birds better thnn tho yoan;; onea. 

 Mr. Taylor wna sncccssful with two younj^ coclis, bciiiR second and 

 third. Ho was nlso tho wiuuor of a cuii tor tho two best hcua. lu 

 these classes tlio old again beat tlic youuus it is seldoui tlio caso ; but 

 tho jnillets were imt t-fjnal to the hen?;, and in many otherwise favour- 

 able spccimous there were crooliod combs and vulture hocks, tliat wore 

 fatal to any liope". of success. Tho Grouse Cochins wore more nume- 

 rous tlian the Butt's, aud thoy were equal in quality. Out of twenty- 

 one younj; birds only hve were excluded by faulty-coloured breasts. 

 Mr. Tndnian was, as usual, the most successful in those classes. Ho 

 took tho silver cup. 



Tho Drahma t'ohlras were very good, aud brought largo entries. 

 Tho Honourable Jliss I'cnnant well deserved tho first prize. There 

 were thirtyllirec entries of young cocks, and good hens aud pullets. 

 Mr. Pickles took the cup with hens. They wore very t;ood. Perhaps 

 for the first tirao in an open competition for the best Brahma l^ootra 

 rock, tho Dark had to saccuml> to tho Light, one of the best cocks we 

 ever saw. Even Jtr. Pares was obliged to be second to him. 



M'o have never seen better Sj>a<iisk than were hero shown. Adult 

 and young cocks, hens and pullets, were all alike perfect. Tho latter 

 were of surpassing beauty and excellence. One cock was bliud from 

 the growth of his face, aud many in each of the classes wero disfigured 

 by excess of merit. Mr. Thresfi took the cup with perfect pullets. 



Thirty pens of Black Uaitihari/Jis, many very good, but there is a 

 tendency to have the ear-lobes too large in tho hens, and the combs 

 too largo and coarse in the cocks. "Wo were much pleased with the 

 Golden-pencilled Hamburghs, aud con.sidered Mr. John Smith deserved 

 his cup. The pullets were also exquisitely pencilled to the very tip of 

 the tail. The Silvers were more numerous than the Golden, but we 

 did not think them as good. For some time they do not seem to have 

 been bred as carefully as the Golden. The same may be said of the 

 Spangled ; tho Golden were the better, aud Mr. Ogden took tho cnp. 

 We cannot speak too highly of the Golden, with the exception of 

 some combs, too largo in the cocks, loose in the hens. "\Vo would not 

 be understood to condemn the Silvers, but they suSEered in comparison 

 with the Golden. 



The PvU-^h classes were weak, with the exception of the Silver ; but 

 we cau speak vcrv highly of them all. Mr. Adkins was very successful 

 in the Silver. Sebright Bantams were good, but very few in number, j 

 Wo have never seen better Gams classes, and the prize birds deserved j 

 the honours that were awarded to them. An accident had happened ( 

 which had restored a number of Broivn lieds to liberty, and there was j 

 a doubt as to ownership. Thcro could be none about tho awards. 



(tome Jjttittnmii formed a vei"y good class, and cannot be too highly 

 spoken of. These birds are now so fully nnderstood, aud so i>erfectly 

 bred, that they snfl'er little in comparison with their larger brethren. J 

 Black and White wero poorly represented. Col. Stuart Wortley and j 

 Mr. Fowler took all the prizes in the Varions class. Hod there been ! 

 more prizes there were birds worthy of them. | 



Rouen Diuks were again far more numerous than tho Aylcsburyg, | 

 but in this instance tlier were not heavier. Mr.s. Seamons's birds were [ 

 very heavy indeed. The East Indian were excellent. The "Variety 

 flass " of Ducks demands an especial mention — Mandarins, Oarolinas, 1 

 Brown Calls, Bahama, aud Wild Ducks. I 



G^t^f were very hcavv. and we thought Mr. Leach's cnp pen of 

 Whites one of the best we ever saw. 



There wore twenty-eight pens of Trn-lr'/ft. Mr. Bcasley's for weight, 

 and Mr. Statter's for colour, wero as good as we ever saw. 



All the arrangements wero good, and we hope this is a revival of 

 the Liverpool Poultry i Show, which was so popular with amateurs 

 years ago.
