Dun cock, which was awarded the oil paiuting for the section, 

 Mr. Horuer ruuning very close with a grand Dun cock ; third, 

 Mr. FuUon, a younger bird. Iti Black hens Mr. Yardley won 

 very easily with a grand bird, good in beak and eye-wattle, with 

 capital neck and style. 



In the next class Mr. Sefton had very easy win with a heavy- 

 wattled Dan hen; Mr. Horner second; and Mr. Fulton third 

 and very highly commended, the whole class being very good. 



In foreign Owh first and cup went to a splendid White, second 

 White, and third Blue. Eighteen entries. 



Trumpeters very good, and when we say this we can convey 

 no idea of the massive style of feather, size, rose, and feet. 



In Jacobins Mr. Vander Meersch was very successful, winning 

 two first and one secoud, the first with a nice Red, very small, 

 although some preferred Mr. Fulton's unnoticed bird. Twenty- 

 seven entries ; a grand display. 



In the next class a splendid White was first, Blacks being 

 second and third. 



Fantails were a grand lot, and the competition keen. First a 

 most perfect bird, small, perfect tail, with high carriage and 

 motion; the second and third-prize birds losing very little, even 

 Mr. Liversedge having to be content with a highly commended. 



Dragoons, Blue or Silver, were an immense class either as 

 regards numbers or quality, there being thirty-three entries and 

 seventeen noticed in the list. First a grand Blue, about as per- 

 fect as aught we have seen ; second Blue, very good; and third 

 Silver. The cup was given to the first-named in this class. 



The first in the next class, a Yellow, was really good, the 

 second being a grand Grizzle, a colour, by the way, which does 

 not seem to be quite understood and appreciated ; but this bird 

 was the model of a good Dragoon ; the third also a Yellow. 

 Twenty-one entries. 



Antwerps were a show in themselves, there being nearly 

 ninety entries in four classes, and the competition keen, the cup 

 being awarded to the most perfect specimen we have ever seen 

 in the show pen, a Short-faced Silver Dun in the pink of con- 

 dition ; the second and third Red Chequers, also very good. In 

 hens Mr. Gamon had an easy win with a grand Red Chequer 

 hen, second a Dun, and third Red, many good birds being too 

 long in face. In Long-faced cocks the first was very strong in 

 head, not so good in colour ; second better in colour, but not so 

 well filled in head — both Red Chequers ; third a good Blue 

 Chequer. In hens a well-known Red Chequer stood first, and 

 was sold at a long price; the second a good Dun; and third 

 Red Chequers. 



Next came English Owls, and these were a grand display, Mr. 

 Binns being again to the front with a grand Blue cock, and 

 winning the cup also. Forty-two entries, and the regret was 

 that there were not more than three prizes to award. 



Long-faced 'J^tnblers were good in both classes. 



Turbits, Rea or Y'ellow, a marvellous class of thirty-eight 

 birds, the prizes being well awarded. Turbits, any other colour, 

 thirty-seven pens. First Black, second Silver, and third Blue, 

 the losers being of such quality as will come to the front in 

 smaller competition. 



Nuns very good. A very grand Black hen first, many others 

 of rare quality and marking. 



Archangels were grand in colour, but a splendid Yellow Mag- 

 pie won against these, securing the cup. 



In Swallows the first was Red, second Black, and third Blue. 



In Any other variety the first-and-cup was a capital Pigmy 

 Pouter, second a Blondinette, and third a Fairy, the class being 

 very strong and good. 



Next came the young classes, and a pretty puzzle they were. 

 The Pouters, which contained thirty entries, was a grand dis- 

 play. First a White cock, a model of his kind, in grand show, 

 19{ by 65 in limb; second Black, in fine order, 18J by 7 in limb ; 

 third a Blue, not so good in girth or style, but 20 by GJ in limb, 

 many other birds being very fine, the cup going to the first- 

 named bird. In young Carriers the first was a Black of great 

 length of face, large, and stylish ; second Dun, long and strong, 

 but a little down-faced ; and third a Black with very strong box 

 beak and general good properties. Y^oung Barbs moderate, 

 while the youn^Dragoons were a very interesting class, the first- 

 and-cup one of the most perfect Yellows ever seen in a show 

 pen; the second and third Blues. Thirty-three entries. Ant- 

 werps, Short-faced, forty-six entries, some very promising birds, 

 but many too long, some of which would have been as well in 

 the next class, which was for Long or Medium-faced. In the 

 Variety class the first was a very good Almond cock, second a 

 Silver Owl, and third a Turbit, the class containing thirty 

 entries. There were foar Selling classes which contained up- 

 wards of a hundred entries, and there were many cheap and good 

 lots which were quickly sold. Mr. Horner won the points' paint- 

 ing by a great number. 



Mr. Cannan judged six of the sections, Mr. Hutton judged the 

 remaining eight sections.
