could justly have been awarded, so good were all the birds. 

 The prizes were awarded to five different varieties in the fol- 

 lowiug order — viz., Dark Brahmas, Black Hamburghs, Grey 

 Dorkings, Black Red Game fowls, and White Cochins, eleven 

 pens being highly commended and three others commended. 

 It is just to say very rarely has such a variety of good matured 

 chickens been seen together so early in the season ; in fact, the 

 class proved one of the gems of the Show. In Game Brown 

 Reds proved the best of any, though there were some good Black 

 Reds ; but the Dackwings were not so good as those shown here 

 last season. Many of the Docks were remarkably fine, and the 

 Variety class was a study for any naturalist or poultry-breeder. 

 Matnbnrghs 'svere of superlative merit, and many of the oldest 

 exhibitors had now some difficulty to hold their accustomed 

 position, BO closely trying was the competition, and most of the 

 birds were in capital feather. In the class for any variety of 

 single cocks a grand Malay as to character, but sadly out of 

 fe ither, was first, and La Fleche and another Malay second and 

 third ; in the Variety class for hens the first and second went 

 to Malays, and the third to an Andalusian, but she was much 

 bleached by the sunshine. 



There was a very large show of Game Banta7ns, but a goodly 

 ntimber were sadly out of condition by being so much over- 

 shown. Of other Bantams the Silver-laced were very fine in 

 the ground colour, but require breeding-down in size, especially 

 the cock, he more particularly being far beyond the standard 

 proportions. Several pens of "little beauties" the Black 

 Bantams came in for considerable notice; and a pen of very 

 heavily booted White Bantams (single-combed), were penned in 

 first-rate show condition. 



With a Show so admirably conducted it is not difficult to 

 secure public support, and in all probability future years will 

 ■witness even an increased entry. 



POLISH CLASSES. 

 {From a Correspondent.) 

 The first and third prize cocks were splendid Silvers; grand 

 crests, beautiful colour, and well marked both in breast and 

 wings. The second-prize bird was a very large-crested Golden, 

 rather light in colour, but well marked. Mr. Silvester's is a 

 large-crested bird, but the crest seems rather flimsy; he is too 

 dark on the breast. Mr. Dean's was a nice-coloured Golden, but 

 a little high in the back. Mr. Feast's was also a well-marked 

 and good coloured Golden bird, but too small in crest. In hens 

 first was a splendid Silver, although the highly commended one 

 belonging to the same exhibitor looked the better of the two ; 

 second a Golden, of very rich colour, well marked and fine crest; 

 third a Black with a capital crest. Mr. Silvester's hen's crest 

 seemed quite chafed away ; she is a very fine-coloured Golden. 

 Mr. Dean's was a young Golden, which will make a capital bird 

 after moult. Mr. Feast's was a good-coloured Golden hen — too 

 small, however, in crest. Mr. Boothby showed a good pair of 

 Golden in the local class. The hen is a rich colour, well marked, 

 and has a fine crest. The cock was a capital bird, well marked 

 on the breast and wings, good crest, but not so good as the hen.
