JOUBNAIi OF HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 



[ AugQBt 12, 1876. 



only two good Black cocks. Jacobins bad. Antwerps (IJong- 

 faced) were very pood ; Eed Chequers won, but the second had 

 a white beak, and might have been replaced with a better in 

 Pen 5 (ElJis). Antwerps (Short-faced) were well placed, and the 

 winners Silver Duns. In Medium-faced first was Blue and 

 second Silver Dun, both good birds. In the Variety first was a 

 Blondinette, and second Red Swallow; no name in the catalogue. 

 In the Selling class Blue Owls were first, and a Black Barb 

 second. 



Lop-eared Babbits were a moderate lot; both winners were 

 TortoiBeshell does; the length we could not ascertain, as they 

 were measured with a stick only. Himalayan were rightly 

 placed, but the ears of the first-prize one were far too large. In 

 the Variety class was a horrid mistake, the first going to a 

 Rabbit for which no name but mongrel will fit, being evidently a 

 cross between a Dutch Angora and Lnp, the second going to the 

 worst of three Silver-Greys. Pens 3 and 4, two Silver-Greys, 

 should have been placed first and second at a look. Pen d, 

 highly commended, was Angora.

GLAMORGANSHIRE POULTRY SHOW. 



This Society, which is upwards of one hundred years old, 

 held its annual meeting on the banks of the river Taff at Ponti- 

 pridd on the 6th and Gth inst., and it will be long ere a more 

 sequestered and romantic corner can be chosen for such a 

 purpose, the almost perpendicular mountain on one side, with 

 the river on the opposite side of the large meadow, presenting 

 such scenes as are alone well worth a visit. Unfortunately, 

 however, this place is not the most accessible for the stock of 

 the English exhibitors, and the consequence was that many pens 

 "were empty when the arbitrations were commenced, though 

 most arrived before many classes had been judged; but these 

 being objected to by one exhibitor, the Secretary had no alter- 

 native but to disqualify for competition, and place cards to this 

 effect upon the pens, among which were Messrs, Long's and 

 Silvester's. This, however, was done reluctantly. The pens 

 were from Mr. Billet of Southampton, whose attendant also 

 rendered great assistance in the penning and superintendence 

 of the birds, though a regular attendant was provided. The 

 marquee was a most spacious one; the weather splendid, and 

 immense numbers visited the grounds. 



Dorkings headed the list ; these being a fair lot. Chickens of 

 this variety were good ; the second the largest, but the cockerel 

 had one spur outside his leg. Brahtnas, Light, old and young 

 both good as regards the winners, although the second-prize 

 cockerel was a little yellow on the wing-bow. DarkBrahmas 

 were not as good as the Light. In Game were many good birds, 

 the winners being only superior in feather; the first and third 

 were Brown, and second Black-breasted Eeds ; a capital pen of 

 Duckwings being very highly commended. In Game chickens 

 the winners were all Black-breasted Reds of very promising 

 quality. Spajiish were a grand lot, and the competition close; 

 the second losing in comb only. The chickens of that variety 

 were very good. In Cochins the winners were Buffs and good. 

 Only one pen of chickens were shown, and these of that colour 

 also. Hamburghs were mixed classes, Spangles and Pencils 

 competing together, and they were very good in both classes. 

 In Golden, Spangles won first and second, and Pencils third. 

 The third prizes in most cases beiog awarded as extras ; some 

 prizes were withheld in the classes where the quality was poor. 

 In Silvers, Spangles were first, and Pencils second and third; 

 these were very good. PoJands poor; first Black, and second 

 Silver. Black "Hamburghs good ; but Mr. Pickles' pen empty. 

 Game Bantams poor except the first Black-breasted Keds ; but 

 in the next class the Blacks were good. 



DiicJi's, Aylesbury were of very good quality; Rouens mode- 

 rate ; but the Variety poor after Mr. Silvester's were excluded. 

 Geese and Turkeys were very poor, which is very uncommon 

 in this quarter; but there were some fair birds in the Selling 

 classes, especially the first-prize Rouen drake.
