JOURNAL OP HOKTIGULTURB AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 



87 



DorJcings had seven entries, the first being of the Dark variety 

 ftud gooii iu all respects, while second came a goud Silver- 

 Grey with a poor hen. Cochins, Buff were poor, the wiuner8 

 youDg; but the pen of "Whites that took the iirat prize in the 

 next class were shown in the best possible trim, second being 

 Partridge, and the cock very good. Light Brahmas were bad, 

 but the Dark very good, the three pens running uacommonly 

 closely upon each other. Of Red Game there were eleven 

 entries, forming a fine class; first coming a very stylish pen of 

 Brown Reds, second one of the same colour, but the hen not so 

 good, while a good pair of Black Reds were awarded the third 

 prize; the latter, however, were out of feather. In the next 

 claiis there were three entries of Dackwingrf, old birds coming 

 first, a very stylish pen of chickens being second. Hauibur/jhs, 

 though mixed classes according to the schedule, produced only 

 Goldens iu the Spangles ; but these were one of the best classes, 

 five out of the seven pens being noticed by the Judges, and all 

 containing birds of the right stamp. In Pencilled only the first- 

 prize Goldens were good, but these were a nice pair. Bantams 

 had but one class, the first a grand pen of Blacks, and second 

 Blaok Red Game ; the hen very good, but the cock rather 

 stumpy. Eight pens were noticed in the Variety class out of 

 ten entered, tbe first being such a pen of White-crested Black 

 Polands as we have not seen of late, and which reminded us of 

 <lays gone by. The price put upon them was only i'G U.s. : hear 

 ye this, ye Poland fanciers ! Second were grand Black Ham- 

 burghs, and third Silkies.

CLECKHEATON POULTRY SHOW. 



The sixth annual Show was held on the 18th inst., and as 

 regards the attendance of visitors proved a great success. The 

 "Show at Sheffield seemed to have affected tbe entries very much, 

 as in some classes there were only as many birds as prizes. 

 ■Gatne came first, Mr. Brierley winning first in both single cocks 

 and pairs of Reds with good birds. In Game, any other variety, 

 we may be pardoned if we differ from the Judge, f jr the second 

 were undoubtedly best, the first being very coarse. In Cochins 

 the winners were Buffs, two good pens of Whites b*^ing highly 

 -commended. Spanish were very fair, and the Brahmas good; 

 while in the three classes of Hamburghs there wore some good 

 birds shown. 



In Game Bantams the first was a really good pan, the Piles 

 and Dackwings in the next class proving only poor. In the 

 Variety class the winners were Gold and Silver Polands re- 

 spectively. The class for chickens was good, almost all of them 

 being noticed ; the first being capital Dark Brahmas, and second 

 Golden-pencilled. 



Ducks and Geese were good. In the Variety class Teal Ducks 

 were first, Kasarkas second, and Pintails third. 



Pigeons were not numerous, Mr. Horner, who seems to prefe"* 

 an easy competition, winning most of the prizes with a capital 

 stud of birda. In Carriers a good Black was first, Dan a good 

 second. Pouters were, first Blue and second R-ids. Dragoons 

 were a good class. A capital Blue was first, and Yellow second ; 

 bat in Jacobins No. 1, unnoticed, ought to have been first. 

 Antwerps were very strong, good Dans winning in both cases. 



R.AjjBiTS. — Of these there were twenty-six entx-ies. Iu Lop- 

 eared bucks Greys were first and second. Two good Silver-Greys 

 won in the Variety class for bucks ; the first in does being 

 Angora, and second a small and neat Duich.
