[ Angust 12, 1875. 



Short-faced Silver Dnn, second a me<linin Red Chequer, and 

 third a sound strong Dan medium. In the Variety class first 

 was a Black Trumpeter, second Black Turbiteen, and third a 

 Grey Frillhack. Carriers of this season were a strong class in 

 Black and Dun, and were mostly noticed. The first Black hen, 

 second Black cock, and third Dun. In the following class all 

 were Blues, and very good. In the Selling class the first were 

 Blue Carriers, and second and third Antwerps. Mr. Fulton 

 won the point cup. 



Ot Rabbits were 111 entries, and a good display they made. 

 Lops, Self-colour, came first, the winner a Sooty Fawn doe 23 

 by 42, was a truly grand Rabbit ; second, 21 by 41, aFawn buck; 

 third, a Smutty Blue 21A by 4;^. The rest were poor. In any 

 Broken-colour, first was a splendid Tortoiseshell doe 21^ by 4f ; 

 second, a Fawn-and-white doe 21A by 4h ; and third, 2i by 4^. 

 Belgian Hares a good class, the prizes going to colour and mark- 

 ing more than to size. The first a beauty but not in fine order. 

 Silver-Greys were a sharp contest, and many good even Rabbits 

 were shown. First a doe, second a doe, and third a buck but 

 quite young. Himalayans a good entry, also the four best very 

 close in points. First a small young Rabbit very well marked ; 

 second large and very good ; and third also large. Pen 473 a 

 grand Rabbit but moulting. In Angoras only the first was good 

 but that very grand, the rest being young and mostly out of 

 condition. Dutch not numerous but very good. First Grey, 

 second Fawn, and third Black. In the Variety class Silver- 

 Creams won the second, and so-called Siberians third. The 

 Selling class was very good, the first a Fawn Lop, second Silver- 

 Giey, and third Belgian- Hare. 



We cannot commend the classification of the Cage Birds, 

 which might be greatly amended, and yet there was a fair show. 

 In Parrot and Paroquets first was a good Grey, and second 

 African Love Bird. The first-prize Belgian was a gem, but the 

 rest poor. Norwich only a moderate lot. In the Variety first 

 and third were Mealy Yorkshires, and second a Cinnamon. The 

 Mules were well placed, the first a Jouque, and all of the Gold- 

 finch cross, and Variegated Linnet or Finch poor, but Larka 

 very good. 



Ca:s were a good show. Lion, the champion Cat, low in con- 

 dition, was fairly beaten by another Tabby. Foreign Cats were 

 a good class; the winners. White Angoras, very good.
