marking, thin girth, and large crop, hia faults were a rather 

 tluaky colour and roughish legs. 



Eed cocks of any age contained ten pens. The Keds are in 

 want of attention. The right colour, as seen sometimes in 

 Jacobins, combined with something like perfection in other 

 points, is still a desideratum. A rich dark Eed with a metallic 

 lustre on the feathers is a most beautiful colour, but seldom 

 seen, and if fanciers do not beware may be lost entirely. There 

 are still a few of them in existence, though smp.U and imperfect 

 as Pouters, and by their assistance we hope the colour may be 

 restored. No. 3U7 (J. C. Lyell), a cock of very good colour, 

 within a shade or two of the right thing. Short in feather, but 

 long and shapely in leg, with fair marking ; he is a valuable 

 bird as Reds are at present. He was bred by Mr. Montgomery, 

 of Belfast, who took the medal for young Red cocks at Edin- 

 burgh two years ago with him. No. a08 (G. Wallace), com- 

 mended, a well-marked bird of good quality, but weak though 

 not bad in colour. No. 310 (G. Ure), third prize, a very stylish 

 bird, which might have been better placed but for a white side. 

 His colour was good as Reds go. No. 311 (R. Fulton), a bird of 

 colour, not far wrong, with a fine moon and bib, but no pinion. 

 No. 313 (A. Wright), second prize. We thought this one not 

 entitled to his position. He had little bib, gay sides, and was 

 only moderate in colour. No. 314 (R. Fulton), the only true- 

 colonred cock in the class but otherwise undesirable. No. 315 

 (J. White), first prize. No doubt the best as a Pouter in the 

 class, but decidedly bad in colour. He has a splendid bib and 

 crop, but rather gay sides. He took the second-prize at Glasgow 

 last month. 



The old Yellow cocks were seven in number and commenced 

 with 317 (W. Ridley), third prize, a handsome well-shaped bird, 

 of very good colour but deficient in bib and pinion. No. 319 

 (G. Ure), second prize, was of good shape and fairly marked on 

 the crop, but without pinion. No. 323 (.1. Mitchell), first prize, 

 was a magnificent Pouter, but bad in colour and marking. He 

 won for crop, style, length, and perfectly-shaped and feathered 

 legs. 



White cocks, any age, were eleven pens. No. 324 (.T. C. Lyell), 

 commended, was a good bird all over, but of small size. No. 325 

 fW. Ridley), second prize, a long bird both in feather and limb, 

 the latter well feathered, and a capital cropped bird. No. 329 

 (J. Grant), good also in all points, with a thin girth and well 

 entitled to his position of first prize. No. 330 (J. E. Spenoe), 

 third prize, wanted length of leg, and ouglit to have changed 

 places with No. 334, the highly commended bird of J. White. 



The class for other coloured cooks of all ages brought out 

 thirteen, and amongst them were some birds of grand propor- 

 tions. They commenced with No. 335 (McGill Skinner), a grand 

 Mealy, not to be beaten for Pouter points by any bird in the 

 Show. No. 336 (J. Grant), a good Blue-chequer. No. 338 (G. 

 Ure), a silvery Mealy, splendid in crop, girth, and length, gained 

 the third prize, and we much preferred him to No. 345 (A. Frame), 

 the winner of second honours, a dark Blue-chequer of good pro- 

 portions, but deficient in marking, and with too heavily covered 

 limbs. We shall continue our remarks next week.
