JOURNAL OF HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER, 



[ November 19, 1874. 



Black Hena, 1874.^This, a beautiful class of young hens, 

 coining hard upon the cocks, and the prize birds ail very 

 worthy. 



Dun Cocks, 1874. — Very good class again, and must, from 

 their evenness, have much puzzled the Judges. 



Don Hens, 1874. — First, very good in colour, and wonderful 

 for her age ; second, well-shaped and looks the thing ; third, 

 fair only; No. 3270 very highly commended, very good. 



Blue Cocks, 1874. — First and second, about equal; third, 

 inferior in eye. 



Blue Hena, 1874. — First, a wonderful-headed bird ; second and 

 third, very good. 



Such a number of excellent young Carriers do away with all 

 fear, and I own I had some, that the Carrier fancy was declining 

 in quality and number of fanciers. 



Carriers, Any &gQ, pairs. — First, fine pair of Blacks; second. 

 Blues, hen very good-beaked bird ; third, Blacks again. 



Dragoons (misprinted in the catalogue. Dragons.) — Blues, 

 single bird. — First - and- cup, beautiful colour, but to my 

 mind a heavy bird ; London style, which often means a bad 

 Carrier. A Dragoon should be '* a light little, tight little 

 fellow," and not a Horseman. I know other3, and worthy fan- 

 ciers, diSer from me, but I must say what I believe. Second, 

 again too heavy ; third, better ; and 3316 better still. 3323, good ; 

 3325, good also; 3331, a good bird; 3336, the best of the lot to 

 my mind. 



Silvers (Black bars). — First-and-cup, heavy style. 3353, best 

 perhaps in class. Silvers (Brown bars), first-and-cap, nice 

 shape. 3303, very good bird ; the second-prize very good. I 

 much like Mr. Bishop's Brown-barred Silvers, and I hope this 

 class will be kept up throughout the country. 



Red or Yellow. — First, a very fine colour throughout, in fact 

 in colour perfect. Many in this class very heavy, as, for instance, 

 very highly commended, 3393. 



"Wliite, or any other colour. — First-and-cup a beautiful White, 

 but a little broad in skull; second a Grizzle, with too much 

 wattle under bill. 



Any Colour, 1874. — First, a dark-barred Silver,'and a very 

 good bird; second, good; third, too much wattle and too 

 iaroad skull. 3452, very highly commended, a good bird. 



Almond Tumblers (Cocks any age). — First took the champion 

 cup for best Pigeon in the Show ; the colour won, beating Mr. 

 Yardley's little champion, whose tail has become over-dark, and 

 BO came in third. But the Recond, son of the third, is hard upon 

 Mr. Fulton's champion. The whole three indeed are splendid 

 Almond cocks. 



Hens {Any age). — First, second, and third, beautiful hens and 

 admirably judged. 



Almonds, 1874. — A very promising class. 



Balds or Beards (Cock or hen). — First-and-cup, Mr. Wood- 

 house's Blue Bald, a gem in colour, head, shape, and bars; 

 second, a Black Beard; third, a Silver Bald. This is a very 

 pretty class, and I was glad to see it so strong. 



Tumblers (Any other variety.) — Cock, any age. Second, a good 

 Kite. Sorry not to see any Mottles taking prizes, as they are 

 birds of surpassing beauty and before Whole-colours, such as 

 Kites. Hens. — Reds, and Kites to the fore. 



Barb Cocks {Black or Dun). — A good class, but the day of 

 many birds nearly over from age. 



Hens (Black or Dan). — First a good Dan; second a good 

 Black. 



Any Colour. — First Red, very old and|bad condition. Among 

 the hens was, first, a very good Yellow. The young birds were 

 good, but really some looked a little too old; perhaps their 

 owners mistook 1873 for 1874. 



Jacobuis (Red or Yellow). — First-and-cup the very thing in 

 hood, chain, and mane, and a nice long bird too, which I like. 

 Second a good rich Red. 



Any Other Colour. — First-and-cup a good Black, a very good 

 bird. Second White, and an extremely nice bird. Third White 

 again. This class wants cultivating, for it is one of the prettiest. 

 Whites, Blacks, and Blues are a pleasant change from the many 

 Reds and Yellows. 



Fantails (Any colour). — First-and-cup a well-shaped but 

 largish bird ; second nice, but I preferred third, as it was petite, 

 as a Fan should be. 



Nuns {Any colour). — T fear this class has been discouraged by 

 the talk against it. All the prize birds were Black, but X was 

 glad to see some very fair Reds and Yellows. — Wiltshire 

 Rector.
