JOUBNAL OF HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 



[ October 28, 1875. 



we thon^lit. In chickens the first-prize pair were very good 

 and capitally Bhown ; second and third also good pairs ; pullets 

 again briug better than the cockerels. The Variety class was 

 an afterthought, for it is numbered 34a, and did not appear in 

 the first £chedules issued. Very smart Black Hamburghs won 

 first and Eccond, and good Brown Leghorns third. Game 

 Bayitams were good, and the winners well selected, the first- 

 prize Pile chickens being really first-rate. In the other Bantam 

 classes the Blacks were the best, though there was a nice pen of 

 Laced among them, and Mr. Boissier's White-booted were good. 



Ducks were splendid, Aylesbnrys and Rouens both being well 

 represented. The Variety Duck class was an extremely pretty 

 one. "We noticed a very fine pen of Muscovies of Capt. Talbot, 

 as good as we have seen for a long time, bat what can they do 

 against the ornamental breeds ? Geese and Turkeys were good, 

 the first-prize Black Norfolks of Lady Camden being very Urge, 

 and the same pair we believe which won first at Tunbridge Wells 

 a week or two back. 



The Pigeons were beautiful, and must have given the Judge 

 much trouble. The cup for the best pen went to a good Red 

 Pouter of Me. Yardley'a. The first-prize Black Carrier was 

 grand in head and wattle, and well first. Antwerpa were a fine 

 lot, making twenty-six pens. The winner was a Blue, very 

 good in colour and stroDg in wing. Tumblers were beautiful, 

 Mr. Baker's being a little gem. A pretty White won in Fans, 

 second going to a charming Blue. The Variety class was a fine 

 collection, a good White Jacobin first, second a lovely White 

 Owl, third a fine Trumpeter. 459 {Vander Meerach) a capital 

 Yellow Turbit; but the whole class was lovely, and every pen 

 might well have been highly commended, and saved the Judge 

 trouble when once he had picked out the winners. 



Babbits were a good collection. The cup went to Lops. The 

 winner was a good Yellow, measuring 22A by -1} inches. An- 

 goras and Himalayas made very good classes. In the Variety 

 class a fine Belgian Hare won the first prize. The quality of the 

 whole Show was good.

 shire Gauaries exhibited, the latter breed m>ikiug-up nearly one- 

 fourth of the entire Show. Mules and British birds were very 

 good. In Class 33 there were a Nightiupale and White Black- 

 bird shown. The influx of visitors was not large, rain falliugon 

 the Saturday. 371 birds were shown, somewhat more than at
