JOURNAti OF HORTIODLTURE AND COTTAGE GABDENER, 



195 



Hamhurghs -were poor, except the winnera; but iu Silvers 

 the first and eecond were capital chickens ; a commencled pen 

 contained a model cock with a very inferior hen. Golden- 

 pencilled had eleven entries, and most of these contained some 

 good birds; the winnera being good adult birds and pretty 

 closely run. In Silvers there were but three pens, but these 

 were good. Game Bantams were a strong class, and the com- 

 petition close, the winners being Brown Reds. The first was 

 an old cock with a pullet, and the second both aged. Bantams, 

 any other variety, were all Black with the exception of one 

 pen of Grey Japanese, and the first-named breed won. 



In the general variety class some good CrOve-Cceura were 

 shown, as also Hondans; but the great features of the Show 

 were the two classes of Ducks, especially the Roueus, which were 

 nearly all noticed, the size, marking, and beaks being aa nearly 

 perfect aa possible, the Aylesbury losing only in point of 

 numbers. The quality of colour and beak was all that could be 

 wished for. 



There was a nice show of eggs and butter under the same tent; 

 the eggs, though not of the largest, were well selected, and uni- 

 form in shape, size, and colour.

HETTON POULTRY SHOW. 



Closely following the Show at Bishop Auckland was that at 

 Hetton-le-Hole, held on the 12th inst., and on this account the 

 entries were much better than they otherwise would have been, 

 for though the classes were pretty numerous, the prizes were 

 small. Unlike its predecessor, at this Show an excellent tent 

 was provided, and the whole was well arranged and managed ; 

 but we must confess our surprise that the Society, which does 

 not hesitate to go to the expense of one of the best military 

 hands, does not offer a more attractive list, which would pay 

 very much better than the one now presented. Adult birds 

 were good for the time of year. Among them we may note 

 the Cochins, Polands, and French fowls in the Variety class, 

 aa well as the Ducks, which were of all agea ; but the Game 

 Bantams were one of the greatest features of the Show; the 

 Red in particular were a grand lot, though some of the best were 

 much out of feather. In the Variety colours, Piles of good points 

 were first, and Duckwinga second. In young birds, Spanish 

 were poor, but the Dorkings very good, while a large hand- 

 some pen of Light Brahmas stood first. Bamhurghs were 

 moderately good, while the Bantams were very good, and the 

 Variety class was well filled with good birds of Black Ham- 

 hurghs, Cochins, Malays, and other varieties. 



Pigeons were not remarkable, although there were some good 

 specimens. 



R.iBBiTs.— There were two classes, but the mistake was made 

 of classing them in pairs. The first and second in Lops were 

 the same as at Bishop Auckland, and they were very good, but 

 did not match in colour. The first in the next class were fine 

 SUver-Gieys, although very young, the second being Himalayan.

WOODSOME POULTBY SHOW. 



The ninth annual Show was held at "Woodsome in a large field 

 within about four miles of Huddersfield, on the I'Jth inst. 



Spanish were good, but there were only two pens. Cochins 

 were numerous aud good in old, whUe in young two grand pens 

 won, both being Buffs. Game were not generally good, the 

 winners even beingclumsy and heavy-feathered. In Hamburghs 

 Mr. Beldon won all but two prizes, and these he did not show 

 for. In Bantams, Game, we thought the winnera had aeeu 

 Westfield, but they were certainly very good; and in the Variety 

 class first came a neat pen of Blacks. Ducks in both classes 

 were very good, especially the Rouens ; and in Geese the only 

 pair of Toulouse were large and well-shaped. 



For the amounts offered the Pigeons were very good through- 

 out ; Mr. Crofts winning the lion's share of the prizes, Mr. 

 Taylor also doing well. 



In Babbits, which had two classes, there was nothing of great 

 merit, and the entries in poultry were but small— in conse- 

 quence, no doubt, of larger and more attractive shows being on 

 at the same time.

Oxford Pocltky asd Pigeon Show, which is to be held in 

 October, has one of the richest prize lists we have ever known. 

 There are forty-two silver cups and pieces of plate for various 

 classes of poultry, including one given by Prince Leopold, and 

 two confined to Oxfordshire exhibitors. There are seven cups 

 for Pigeons. There are forty-two extra money prizes for Oxford- 

 shire exhibitors, and the money prizes open to all comers are 

 very liberal. We commend the Exhibition to our readers, and
