JOUENAL OF HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 



[ December SO, 1875. 



were all good. Spanish were very fair, a Bristol pen of chickens 

 deservedly winniug the cup. The quality was certainly hetter 

 than the average at conutry shows in this neighbourhood. 

 French were a beautiful lot. They seem such favourites with 

 all, and the Houdans seem making rapid progress as table and 

 egg-producing birds. Adults won most of the prizes, for in 

 these varieties as in Asiatics the second moult quite altera the 

 birds, making them deep and massive. We liked the awards 

 in the Cri'ves, and saw no reason for grumbling as we believe 

 some pretended to do. Hamhurghs last time replied so badly 

 to their invitation that on this occasion the classes were much 

 reduced. On this occasion the quality was capital, and the 

 Pencilled especially made an admirable collection, nine of the 

 ten pens entered coming in for cards. A nice pen of Gold- 

 Bpangled won first in their olpss, but the Pencilled won the cup. 

 Game had three classes and the quality was good. Nice Brown 

 Beds took the cup, the cock a very good chicken. Black 

 Beds were perhaps the weakest, but here the prize birds were 

 good and the cards carefully placed. Polish were capital ; pen 

 after pen was worthy of a prize. The White-crested Blacks 

 were admirable and seem generally looking up. We are well 

 pleased by it, for we know of no more striking breed where 

 proper accommodation can be given to them. The Variety 

 class was good. Black Hamburghs, Malays, and Leghorns won 

 prizes, each pen being good of their kind. The Sale classes 

 were large and the quality very fair. Many pens were above 

 the usual sale-class standard, and found new homes, we should 

 Bay, speedily. Game Bantams were fair, and the Laced in the 

 Variety class nice pens. The local cup was won by Mr. 

 Lawther with a fine pair of Dark Brahmas. Waterfowl were 

 very good, the winning Aylesburys and Eonens as good as any 

 we have seen for a long time. 



The Variety Duck class was interesting and pretty. Caro- 

 linas won first ; Indiana coming in a nice second, rather large, 

 but good in colour. 



The Pigeons were a capital lot, Mr. Maynard's Carriers up to 

 a very high standard. This gentleman won the cup and ten 

 out of the fifteen Carrier prizes with really wonderful birds. 

 Dragoons were good, the cup going to a fine Blue cock beautiful 

 in shape and style. Mr. Whitehead sent some good pens and 

 deservedly did well with them. Pouters were wretched. In 

 two classes there were only three pens entered. How odd this 

 is ! for at other shows with less prize money we may find a 

 dozen pens. But this we often notice in so many breeds : a class 

 may be quite strong in one place in one week, and the next week 

 in the same neighbourhood there may not be enough birds for 

 the prizes. Tumblers were fair. Barbs good, and Jacobins very 

 good, all colours coming well to the front. Fantails were fine, 

 and we should like to have seen a few more cards up. Turbits 

 made a really excellent class, Mr. Salter again being to the 

 front. Owls were very charming, an exquisite White African 

 coming in first. Antwerps had two classes and made a fair dis- 

 play. There is an immense amount of interest taken in the 

 Deighbourhood with this variety, and we were consequently 

 surprised to find so little local talent. Homers had three classes 

 and made up eighty-six pens. Many of the birds looked as if 

 made and ready for business, and to win in such competition 

 ■was an honour indeed ; the greatest interest prevailed in these 

 classes among the fanciers. The Variety class was a nice col- 

 lection of half-a-Ecore of pens ; the second-prize Hunt was a 

 good bird, and looked like a late Birmingham winner. The Sale 

 classes were large, and the quality above such receptacles as a 

 rule. 



Altogether the Pigeons made ft great feature of the Exhibi- 

 tion. They do not suffer so much, many of them, from incarce- 

 ration for many days as do the poultry, and so the Sunday did 

 not influence their entries so much. We believe the place of 

 exhibition could only be had in a certain week, and hence the 

 date; but there could be no necessity for a four- days show 

 including a Sunday. 



We furnish full awards below. The point cup was won by 

 Mr. Maynard.
