JOUENAL OF HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 



[ October 30, 1866. 



and last, though not least, the poultry fonnd ample accommodation 

 around the whole central space of the Exhibition-room. The whole had 

 the most pleasing effect, and judging from the statements of visitors, 

 the public support was again fully insured. 



The Spanish class was remarkably good, Sir. Rodbard faking pre- 

 cedence. In Grey DorHuys, we find Mr. T- P. Edwards, of Lyndhurst, 

 taking the prize of highest merit. Although for many years past this 

 gentleman's Polanda have stood Al at most of our exhibitions (as 

 also on the present occasion), we were unprepared to find his at- 

 tention turned to Dorkings. Most strange to say, though the day 

 before the class of Buff Cochins at the Wolverhampton Show was so 

 good, not a single entry was made in this class at Southampton ! The 

 Brahmas, both Dark and Light-feathered, were very good, though we 

 regretted to find that several pens were wrongly entered, and, con- 

 sequently, thrown out. Every exhibitor should well consult the prize 

 schedule before entering, especially where separate classes for colour 

 are appointed, as any birds entered wrongly cannot compete. The Game, 

 were good, and the Hamburghs mostly of first-rate excellence. Mr. 

 Pittis, of the Isle of Wight, took the silver cup for the best pen of 

 poultry in the whole Exhibition with a first-rate pen of Pencilled Ham- 

 Lurghs, than which the most fault-finding person could scarcely hope 

 for better. The silver cup for the best single cock in the Exhibition 

 was secured by a very excellent Spanish cock belonging to Mr. Rod- 

 bard. The Variety classes were well filled with Houdans, La Fleche, 

 Creve Coeurs, and Malays, besides an abundant proportion of Silkies, 

 Andalusians, and various other breeds. Mr. Kelleway, of the Isle of 

 Wight, exhibited some of his Game Black Red Bantams of great 

 beauty. 



In a very extensive collection of foreign and British Pheasants, one 

 bird was peculiarly worthy of a passing notice. It was a Silver hen 

 Chinese Pheasant that had in the course of a couple of years entirely 

 assumed the male's plumage. She had for two years previously to this 

 change of feather laid and bred equally well with other hens confined 

 with her, but after the change of plumage, of course, proved sterile. 

 As a great oddity, she did not lack admirers. 



The Pigeons proved by far the best collection of birds of this kind 

 ever brought together at Southampton. 



The foreign birds were a very popular j>ortion of the Exhibition, 

 and the Lories especially deserve most favourable mention for their 

 beauty of plumage ; and not a few of the Parrots were exceedingly 

 amusing by their continuous and incongruous talking to visitors. Mr. 

 Phillip Warren, the truly indefatigable Honorary- Secretary, did all that 

 any one could do to insure success. The weather being favourable, 

 the attendance of visitors was good.
