JOUBNAL OF HORTIOOIiTOBB AND COTTAGE GABDENEB. 



85 



We were glad to see bo large a staff of Judges. The awards 

 seemed to give almost uBiversal satisfaction, which we think 

 would be more generally the case if judges always had a prac- 

 ticable amount of work allotted to them. No man can satis- 

 factorily make awards when he knows that he must hurry 

 through the work to get it over by a given time. We congra- 

 tulate the energetic Secretary on the great success of his first 

 attempt, and upon the prompt way in which the awards were 

 posted up and the prize Hat brought out.

LOWESTOFT SHOW OP POULTRY, &c. 



This Show was held in the Public Hall on the 20th and 21st 

 inst. This building is remarkably well suited to such a pur- 

 pose as regards light, &c., but unfortunately is, like all other 

 places at the command of the Committee, far too small for the 

 purpose ; and the consequence was, that while the fowls were 

 placed in the best position, the Pigeons were too high for easy 

 inspection, except a few which were placed on the platform, 

 but the cage birds were allotted a snug anteroom on the left- 

 hand of the entrance. The pens were the substantial wooden 

 ones (with bar-iron fronts and slide doors) of the Society, and as 

 well arranged as the room would allow. The feeding, general 

 attendance, and indefatigable exertions of Messrs. Wren, String- 

 field, and other gentlemen of the Committee was exemplary, and 

 such as merited better entries than was the result in poultry, 

 which section (with a great increase of classes and cups) was 

 not much in excess in numbers of previous years. 



Dorkings. — The winners in both classes good Dark birds, and 

 the whole pretty even. In Cochins the first was a great mis- 

 take, the second, a cock, being in all respects superior ; both 

 were Buff. In hens the first was an immense bird with ex- 

 traordinary fluff and cushion, but not as heavy on the foot- 

 feathering; but we thought the cup would have been much 

 better placed here. Second a good light Buff, and there were 

 some good local birds in the class. Dark Brahma cocks were 

 well placed, and in all a fair lot. In hens Mr. Leno's ex- 

 quisitely pencilled pullet was firat, but we preferred the second, 

 a grand hen by Lingwood, as nearer perfect, the first being sadly 

 out of feather. Pen -15 (Lady Gwydyr) was passed unnoticed, 

 but why we could not tell, for she appeared almost equal to the 

 first in pencilling and colour, and quite as good in other points. 

 With the above exception the whole of the awards were well 

 made. In Light Brahmas Mr. Haines won all with two ex- 

 ceptions, taking the cup also with some capital birds. In 

 Gaini; the winners were all Brown Reds, the cup going to a 

 cock of that colour. Spanish were very good in both classes, 

 and plainly showed the great care bestowed upon them, but the 

 best birds (Boulton) were too late for competition. Bamhurghs. — 

 Pencilled were moderate in quality, Mr, Tickner's cup pen of 

 Gold winning easily. Spangles were better, and almost all 

 noticed; and the winners in Frcnc/t were all Creve-Coiurs. In 

 the Variety class Messrs. Silvester won with a capital pen of 

 Gold Polands, securing also the cup.,' The hen is a wonder. 

 The .Selling classes were large, and many capital lots were shown, 

 some of which changed hands. Game Bantams were not as 

 good as we usually find them here, and but few pens were
