JOUBNAL OF HORTICULTDBE AND COXTAGE GABDENKB. I D«:emk« IS, UM. 



pnllets, however, were in perfect plnmage. The be«t show of CiuJant 

 which we have seen this Bcason took place at Manchestnr, and cer- 

 tainlv tlie Partridge-feathered were snch as will only be seen loRcthor 

 ffc"'" i-J"'^ '""^ intenala. lu the classes for Bnffo au.l Cinnamons 

 the exhibition was particularly Btrong ; and in a cUss where most of 

 the BnfT birds shown were excellent, a Cinnamon cock of great size. 

 and of very nnnsnul colour and conformation, look the third jirize. 

 This valuable breed is now almost extinct, and it has not been pro- 

 minently exhibited anywhere for some years past. Some of the most 

 remarkable Bnff Cochin hens and pullets that we have seen for many 

 years were exhibited. Tlie White Cochins were few in number, but 

 they wore such as might be loolied for in vain at a long snccession of 

 our largest shows. The JJriihmas formed some of the best-filled 

 classes at Manchester, and the competition was excellent. Tho Dark- 

 feathered ones were nnquestioniblv superior to the Light ones, and as 

 most of onr greatest breeders exhibited, the task of tho Judges in 

 these classes was a most diilicnlt one. The I'vliJi were rerv good, and 

 Bo were the Uumhiir,jl,.H, the best of the latter classes being the tlolden- 

 Bcojigled, and the worst the Silver-pencilled ones. Of Qiwie fowls, 

 although the majority of the old birds were wonderfolly good, those of 

 this year's production were, as they have been everywhere of late, not 

 la good sound plnmage. Of the Gumc Bantums, however, the classes 

 were nnexceptionahly good. We never remember seeing better Ayles- 

 bury and Rouen Ducks than competed here, and in largo numbers; 

 the Buenos Ayrcan Ducks wore also very &ue. The Oeesr and 

 Tiiikci/s were such as called forcibly to mind" Christmas-tide, when, all 

 temporary dissents forgotten, whole families join together in happy 

 reunions ; and single birds, like those shown at Manchester, varying 

 from 27 lbs. to 33 lbs. each, aro well adaptod for such festive oc- 

 casions. 



In the class for Waterfowl there was a most extraordinary com- 

 petition. Shovellers being first, Whistling Ducks second, and Man- 

 darins third. Snch an assemblage of fancy water fowls is but rarely 

 seen, and numbers of pens weirworthy of' prizes had to be allotted 

 high commendations. In this class were exhibited Sebastopol, Spanish, 

 Spur-winged, Brent, and White-fronted G;ese; whilst a very nu- 

 merous entry of Teal, Widgeon. Pochards, Tnfted-Ducks, Shell-Dnoks, 

 Carolinas, PintaUs, and other varieties made this one of the most 

 popular classes in the Show. French fowls were shown in good con- 

 dition, and added no little interest to the collection. A pen of very 

 good Cuckoo Cochins was exhibited. 



In rii/coiis the Manchester Show as usual was very strong, and the 

 collection of " Any other variety " embraced several quite now breeds. 

 We were sorry to hear that some of Uie Pigeons had been grossly 

 tampered with, both as to colour and improved (?) characteristics : we 

 were informed that had theso particular birds been left untouched 

 their success would have been unquestionable. As then treated they 

 were very properly disqualified. When will exhibitors learn, that 

 Nature unadorned will best cany the day with judges of experience '.'
