it being the Family Favourite Sewing Machine, value £G lOs. 

 By the way, it has often struck us as au oversight that none of 

 the many sewing machines has been named "The Woman's 

 Friend ;" ib3 applicability few of our many fair readers would 

 be iocliued to question. A few entries only, but by the best of 

 breeders, marked the classes of Brahmas as praiseworthy. lu 

 the Lit^hb Brahmas Mr, Deau secured the special prize, the 

 Archimedean Lawn Mower, of foar-guineas value, with a capi- 

 tally shown cock bird. The prize birds of the Dorkings cannot 

 be spoken of more highly than they deserve to be, but the re- 

 mainder were quite out of show condition. Crcve-CoDurs stood 

 ahead in the classes for French fowls, many of them being of ex- 

 traordinary perfection. In Ga'tie fowls the disappointment was 

 general. This was a very unlooked-for result, as Mr. Samuel 

 Mathews, the noted exhibitor of Game, had with considerable 

 self-denial, this season expressed in the Ipswich prize schedule 

 hia intention of not competing for the Game prizes, which for 

 many years it seemed to bo a foregone conclusion would be 

 secured by birds from his yards. The anticipations of an im- 

 proved entry numerically considered were not realised, and the 

 absence of Mr. Mathews' Game fowls was an absolute loss of 

 interest to the Ipswich Show. We may here state Mr. Jeffries 

 also voluntarily promised not to compete in Game Bantams, 

 but entered two exquisitely beautiful pens for the beuetit of 

 sight-seers, and they quite took the shine out of the winners. 

 Hamburgh^, though few, were especially perfect throughout, 

 some of the Pencilled hens particularly so. 



Strange to say, with liberal prizes offered, not a single pen of 

 Ducks was entered for this Show. Anything must have wou. 

 Where could Messrs. Fowler, Seamons, and the numerous ex- 

 hibitors of fancy Ducks have been, to let so perfect a " walk- 

 over " go by unobserved ? A suggestion here presents itself — 

 that it might conduce considerably to variety, and consequent 

 interest, if to the heading of the special Any other variety class 

 of Dacks were added, " Or any other breed of ornamental water- 

 fowls." It would then be found, as of yore at the Newcastle 

 Shows, that Spoonbills, Storks, Godwits, and many of the 

 choicest and most beautifubplumaged varieties of foreign Geese, 

 ■would add an attraction to the Show most pleasing to visitors, 

 and equally paying to the managing Committees. 



The PiGEo:!is were the best througbout that have been seen 

 in Ipswich for many years, the Carriers, Pouters, and Barbs 

 being of the highest cbaracter. The Variety class was a most 

 interesting one, a lovely Brunette being the first-prize bird, 

 and a very excellent Foreign Owl the second-prize. In the 

 Selling class a very unique pair of *' Fire Pigeons " were at the 

 head of the poll; which quickly changed owners, being entered 

 at the singularly low figure of one guinea ! The bodies of these 

 strange and equally beautiful Pigeons were black, the wiuga a 

 clear brown except the flight feathers, which were black, the 

 tails pure white, and each one had a small white spot at the 

 root of the bill, about the size of a pea, these white feathers 

 showing to remarkable advantage on the black ground of the 

 head feathers. They were shown by Miss Eeles, of Southwold. 

 An elegant flower vase for the best collection of Pigeons, to be 

 decided by points, was secured by Mr. Yardley, of Birmingham, 

 the winner making twenty-two points ; Mr. Metcalfe seventeen 

 points ; and Mr. Maynard, thirteen points.
