JOURNAIi OF HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 



[ January 27, 1876. 



Bee. In any other colour the first was a Silver Lizard, very 

 good in all points, the spangliDg being about perfect; second 

 a Buff Belgian. Bullfiuches were good in colour, the Gold- 

 finches better ; but of the British birds the Linnets were by far 

 the best, not a bad bird being shown. In Goldfinch Mules the 

 prizes were awarded to green birds, over the heads of patchy 

 variegated birds. There were some good dark Linnet Mules. 

 Blackbirds, ThruBhes, and Larts were very good and well 

 shown, showing great care and attention on the part of the ex- 

 hibitor. Of Perrols there were but three ; first Green and second 

 Grey. In the Variely class a Lemon-crested Cockatoo was firfct, 

 and a Virginia Nightingale second.

DORCHESTER SHOW OF POULTRY, &c. 



This took place on the 19th and 20th inst. The Show was 

 an admirable one, and tbe arracgementB in every way good. 

 The birds had to be in the Show by 2 p m on the Tuesday, 

 which was very inconveoieiit to many eshibitors, and we cannot 

 Bee much use in the arraugement. The Judges were numerous, 

 and performed their work well. The quality they had to adjudi- 

 cate upon was decidedly above the average of many meetioga 

 of the same megnitude. When we reached the place of exhibi- 

 tion the cards were up and the whole building full of visitors, 

 BO we hope tbe uudertakiug will prove a succoeb in every way. 



In Coloured Dorkings the cup went to a grand old pen, good 

 in colour and shape. The hen gave one the appearance of being 

 certainly old, but she was very deep and massive. Silver-Greys 

 were a nice class. "We liked the cock in the third-prize pen 

 immensely, for his colour and shape were what such a bird 

 should be; but to judge from bia comb he appeared to have 

 come out of a fray but lately, which spoilt his chance we sup- 

 pose of first honours. White Dorkings were very nice; the 

 second only inferior to the first in size, both being good in 

 colour and other points. Cochins were very good. In Buffd a 

 nice pen won the mp, but we liked the first-prize pair of Par- 

 tridge or the first Whites quite as well. The winning Partridfies 

 were very large and sound in colour, and deservedly took their 

 place. In Whites the winners were well ahead; the first-prize 

 cock being snow white, very massive, and low on the legs. The 

 hen with him was large and abundantly feathered. Brahtnas 

 were an average collection; the Dark certainly the best. The 

 second prize hen was very well marked, and excellent in comb. 

 Both the Brahma cops went to Greeting, which makes comment 

 on their quality needless. Spanish were very good, and here 

 the champi' n cup for the best pen in the Show came. They 

 were good in every way, and the cock enormous in face; bat 

 we almost thought the champion trophy could have gone as 

 deservedly eleewhere. But it is a long time since this breed 

 has won a good champion cup we believe, and the wheel of 

 Fortnne should distribute her favours equally. We hear this 



cock was the Bristol bird. One of his eyes looks shakey, but 

 he is a grand bird all round. Game wero admirable. The cup 

 pen of Black Reds were very hard in feather and stylish in 

 shape and head. The cup Brown Red cockerel was exceedingly 

 good in tail and fine in feather. The whole team shown by 

 Messrs. Farquharson and Voisin were very grand and really 

 worthy of the highest credit, being in such good condition and 

 so hard in feather. JSamhurghs were a good lot, and the hand- 

 some prizes brought down the ''Lancashire lads." Much as we 

 admired the cup pen of Golden-pencils, we almost liked the 

 second-prize pen as well jn many ways, for the hen there was 

 a gem in markings, and her tail was as well pencilled as any 

 other portion of her body. Black Hamt.urghs were hardly as 

 good as we have seen lately ; we fear there is a tendency to 

 breeding them coarse. Folands made a marvellous class. The 

 cup went to a superb pair of Silvers; and we thought second 

 should have gone to the same colour in preference to the Blacks, 

 although they were an extraordinarily good pen. The cup cock 

 was a wonder in crest and markings, and his mate as good. 

 The whole class was a grand one, and many previous champions 

 were here ousted from their positions. Malays were good as a 

 class. Mr. Falle sent some nice Whites, whicti are rather rare, 

 especially as they were better than usual in colour. Nearly tbe 

 only pair in the class of the rich colour was Mr. Hinton*8. As 

 we have previously stated, the colour of course is simply a 

 matter of choice, but we coiifess our own fancy is for the rich 

 deep-coloured variety. In French a pen of Cieves of striking 

 blackness won the cup. They were an adult pair, but grand in 

 all points. Tbe Variety class was a better one than we have 

 seen of late. The winning cards were turned np by Bredas, 

 Andalusians, and Minorcas. Mr. Woodgate had a beautiful pen 

 of Silkies very highly commended, their chief points of excel- 

 lence being crests and leg feather. Bantams made a better 

 display than we have seen for some time, especially in the 

 Game, and for a wonder the cup came here instead of going to 

 the Sebrigbts. The cup cock was very smart in feather and 

 stylish in every way. The winners in Laced were good Silvers, 

 being very clear in markings and small in size. A beautiful pen 

 of Blacks won in the next class, and a very charming pen of 

 Whites second. 



The Duck classes were especially remarkablei for the speci- 

 mens of the ornamental varieties sent by Sir William Smith- 

 Marriott. They were shown in faultless condition and feather. 

 The first AylcBburys were very large and clear m bill. Geese 

 and Turkeys were above the average. A very beautiful collec- 

 tion of Pheasants of many varieties finished up this section. 



The Figeons were a very good lot, but we were surprised and 

 sorry to find so few entries in many of the classes. The great 

 succefs of this department at Poole only a few days before 

 seemed to make the meagre display in entries here more remark- 

 able. The Dragoons were, however, very splendid, and Mr. 

 Bishop's brown-barred Silvers were well worthy of going to see. 

 The cup Fautails were also a grand pair of Whites as good in 

 tail and carriage as we have seen for some time. Antwerps were 

 pretty fair. We noticed a strong pair of birds (659, Norwood), 

 good in colour (Silver), but they looked too much of the stamp 

 of the Dragoon. In the Variety class, which was one of the 

 best Pigeon classes, a very nice pen of Owla won first, being 

 good in head and very small. 



The Rev. G. Hodson awarded the prizes in Dorkings, Brah- 

 mas, Cochins, and the Waterfowl ; Mr. Tegetmeier in the Polish, 

 Variely class, Malays, French, and some of the Bantams; while 

 we believe Mr. Hewitt took the remainder. 



The cups have been forwarded to the winners and the prize- 

 money paid.
