JOTIRNAL OF HOETICULTUBE AND COTTAGE GARDENEE. 



[ January 13, 1876. 



had twelve entries and were well jadged ; first going to a fine 

 Black, second Blue, third Mealy. Hens had fewer entries, but 

 the quality good ; first a ehowy Yellow, second a fine Blue, 

 third Red, a good bird. Carriers contained only two birds of 

 note, first wiuning easily. Barbs were numerou?. First went 

 to a Yellow hen, the best in the fancy ; second a nice cock of 

 seme colour ; third was far behind the same owner's commended 

 Bed hen. Fantails were — after first and second, which were 

 good and well placed — poor. Tumblers, all the prize birds 

 Almonds, and first far before anything else. Jacobins were both 

 numerous and good, but we liked second Black much before 

 second Eed. The Variety class contained many good birds j 

 first a magnificent foreign Owl, second an English Owl, third a 

 Eed Magpie. Common Tumblers, first Almond, second ditto; 

 third, Ked, should have been second, which was only a Splash.

MILLOM (CUMBEELAND) POULTEY SHOW, &c. 



This Show was held on the 1st inst. in the Public Hall on 

 Holborn Hill, the birds being judged on the day previous. The 

 day was very wet and dull, and it was with the greatest difiioulty 

 some of the classes were judged. Game, for which this neigh- 

 boiirhocd is justly famed, were first on tbe list, and among these 

 were some capital birds, especially the Brown Eeds, which we 

 must confess we seldom see excelled. Out of eighteen single 

 cocks twelve were deemed well worthy of notice, and yet the 

 cup for the Game section was carried off by a pair of Brown Eed 

 pullets in the next class. In pairs of Game there were some 

 good birds also, and throughout the classes the legs and feet 

 were unusually good. In Bralimas a grand pair won the cup 

 for the section ; the second though good were nothing near the 

 first for size or excellence. In Cochins Buffs were first and Par- 

 tridge second, the latter containing an extraordinary hen, but the 

 cook was red on throat and fluff. Cochins, White were moderate, 

 and Dorkings only few in numbers, but the winners good. 

 Spanish Dot good. Eed Game i3a?(<n»is were a grand lot, the 

 first and cup going to a pen of that colour it would be difficult 

 to excel, and the Duckwings in the next class were scarcely leas 

 perfect. Hamburghs we were surprised to find so good here, 

 although these were shown in one class only. In the Variety 

 class Houdans weie first. Gold Polish second, and Creves third. 

 Rouen Ducks were good, but the Ayleaburys poor. There were 

 two excellent Selling classes, the entries numerous, and the 

 birds good. There were but three classes of FigcunSjUnd beyond 

 the ^viuners nothing of note.
