Game stood firBt, and in Reds a very good cock with a poor 

 hen was first, but the second-prize cock was batlly squirrel-tailed, 

 and all the others had some fatal defect. In the next class 

 Piles were first, andDuckwing chickens second. Dorkiurjs were 

 poor except the winners, and Sjninisk not of the highest merit. 

 Cochins were a good class, Mr. Tomlinson taking the lead with 

 a grand pair of Buffs in fine bloom, and second were a pen of 

 good Partridge, good Buffs being also very highly commended. 

 0( Brahnias there were only two pens, the first very good in 

 colour, the second large. IXamhurgJis were mixed classes, but 

 the entries were pretty fair. The first prize for Pencilled w^ent 

 to a grand pen of adults ; Golden were first, and an equally good 

 pen of Silvers second, the latter showing the effects of their 

 journey. Some other very good pens were also noticed. In 

 Spangled the winners were both Golden and in fine feather, the 

 first prize going to adults, and the second to a well-grown pen 

 ■oi chickens more like old birds than aught else even in marking. 

 In the Variety class a fine pen of Silver Polands won, seconded 

 by a pen of adult Malays ; chickens of the latter kind being also 

 very highly commended. 



In Bantams the first were a very pretty pair of Golden Se- 

 bright chickens, and second fair Blacks. 



There were several classes for local exhibitors only ; and here 

 we found some good birds, notably the first-prize pen of Brown 

 Red chickens, which we have not seen surpassed this year ; and 

 in Golden-spangled were some birds falling little short of the 

 •quality of those shown in the open class. 



Ducks were very good, the first prize going to Aylesbury and 

 the second to Rouen. 



Pigeons had but sis classes, and the competition was not 

 keen. Carriers were mostly youugand promising. InFantails 

 first were Whites, and second Blues. In Titmhltrs Mr. Yardiey 

 won with a nice pair of Almonds, and in Ajit iverps vsiih gooH 

 Short-faced Duns; a very good pair of medium-faced Red 

 Chequers being second. 



Raubits were inferior, except the first-prize Blue-and-white 

 Lop doe in the open, and the Lop buck and Angora doe in the 

 local class. 



Canaries. — For these there was not sufficient inducement to 

 secure a numerous exhibition, but the first in both classes were 

 really fine specimens of the *' hot " variety. 



The awards appeared in last week's number.

THE PARAGON LAMP. 



Last week we noticed the Hurricane Lantern introduced by 

 Messrs. Dietz & Co., of Carter Lane, and we now introduce to 



our readers another invention of the same firm, which is more 

 for domestic use. It is a new form of burner, which is appUed 

 to paraftiu lamps, and is so constructed as to produce a flame 

 of unexampled brilliaucy, the light being white and dazzling, 

 the result of a perfect combustion of the hydrocarbon. Our 

 figure represents a burner of half the natural size; and the 

 flame produced by a l^-inch wick is nearly 3 inches wide and 

 2i inches high. These are the best of the para£&n lamps that
