GAME FOWLS. 



MALACCA GAME FOWLS. 



When I penned my remarks on the SUMATRA PHEASANT 

 G-AMES, I was not aware that any other breed of Games in the 

 world could be compared with them for unflinching courage 

 and beauty ; but the Malacca Games, a very recent importation, 

 bid fair to be equal, if not superior to them. No person in the 

 world, in my opinion, has spent so much money to search out 

 the best breeds of fowls from the most distant parts of the 

 world, as Dr. Bennett. The expense of sending an agent 

 especially to Malacca, to procure this breed, has been enormous. 

 He has also just imported by the British Royal Mail Steamer 

 " Europa," some of the finest Game fowls, of other breeds, in 

 England. They were purchased for him at the great Birming- 

 ham Fair, by Mrs. Hosier Williams, of Eaton Mascott, near 

 Shrewsbury, and Wm. Oust Gwynne, M. D., of Sandbacb, 

 Cheshire. They were pronounced the best blood in England, 

 and Dr. B. now has, without doubt, the best stock of Games in 

 the world. The following is the Doctor's description of the 

 Malacca Games :
