JOUBNAL OF HORTXGULTUBB AND COTTAGE GABDENEK. 



[ DGcember 24, 1874. 



were even worse made if possible. Pen 4G3 (which we do not 

 hesitate to say are faultless, and one of the best pen of Piles 

 ever yet showu), were not even commended, while the cup was 

 given to Piles without either style or condition to recommend 

 them, and quite a washed-out colour. Pen 454 (Adams), Duck- 

 wings, third, should have been second, and Mr. Entwisle's highly 

 commended pen third. Surely the Judge must be devoid of 

 practical experience to make such a mess ; and there is little 

 doubt but that a few more mistakes and the fancy will lose 

 some of its best supporters. The Black Bantams were rightly 

 placed. Ducks were very good classes; as also the Selling 

 classes, of which there were several provided, and they were 

 well filled. The pens were the property of the Society, and 

 were of the most substantial kind, clean, and well fit up. 



The Pigeons had the same amount in prizes offered as last 

 year, and the entries were about the same, but a great improve- 

 ment was very plain in the quality of the birds, and that mostly 

 in the standard varieties. In Carrier cocks the first was a 

 heavy bird, but a little bright in eye as compared with the 

 second-prize Dun, and a trifle peg-wattled. The Dun, a strong 

 young bird, was a little stumpy in beak; third a Black, a little 

 flat-wattled, good eye, carriage, and colour. In hens first was 

 a grand bird, fine in every point, and splendid in carriage and 

 colour, and the cup for the best pen was awarded here; second, 

 also a Black, was good, but lighter ; and third a good sound 

 Dun. Carriers of 1874 were a grand lot, and very regular : first 

 a large strong Dun cock ; second a Black hen, which must make 

 her mark on the fancy; and third a strong young Blue. Twenty- 

 three entries. Pouter cocks good. First alarge Blue, very good 

 in all points, and in fine play, but rather thick in girth ; second 

 White, more slim-built, also large and good ; and third a White. 

 In hens first was a grand White in the best possible order; 

 second a good Yellow, rather foul on thigh, but in good order; 

 and third also White. Most of the birds in the above five 

 classes were mentioned in the list. Barbs were mof^erate : first 

 a good Black; second Red, by far the best, but not in order; 

 and third Black. Barbs of 1874 were good, the winners Black. 

 Tumblers, Short-faces, a grand lot, amoDg which we found some 

 most perfect birds ; the winners were all Almonds. First most 

 perfect Almonds; second best in head, but rather dark in tail; 

 and third good, but scarcely as well broken in feather. The best 

 headed bird in the lot was an Agate, perhaps one of the best 

 ever seen. Tumblers, Long, first a most perfect pair of Red 

 Mottles; second of that kind, but not so even; and third Badges, 

 Fantails were unusually good in both sexes, the tail being almost 

 a complete circle, and in most cases combined with fine action, 

 notably in the case of first-prize ben. Dragoons were good 

 classes. In cocks a most perfect Yellow was placed first, this 

 bird answering all the demands of the old-established fancy ; 

 second a good strong Blue, and third Silver ; many others being 

 noticed. In hens the first was also a Yellow, and a most perfect 

 match for the cock above referred to ; second Blue, fine and good 

 in all points; and third Blue. Most were noticed. Antwerp 

 cocks were a very fair lot. The first, a Silver Dun, was Short- 

 faced, good in head, but a little too long in feather ; second Red 

 Chequer, a perfect medium-faced bird ; and third a Short-faced 

 Silver Dun. In hens the first was a most excellent Short-faced 

 Dun, almoat as strong as a cock in foot ; second a Red Chequer; 

 and third Silver Dun. Jacobins poor, and third prize withheld. 

 The Variety class was a real good one, first were placed White 

 African Owls; second Pigmy Pouters; and third Silver Bruns- 

 wick ; while an extra third was awarded to Spangled Ice. There 

 were some good birds in the Selling class, the first going to 

 White Pouters ; second Ice Pigeons : and third to Almonds.
