FANCIERS' JOURNAL AND POULTRY EXCHANGE. 



Partridge Cochins wei'e out in full force, Mr. Henry taking 

 the lead with a splendid pair. Though hard pressed by Mr. 

 Cooper, in young birds, Mr. Herstine took first with a splen- 

 did Cockerel and beautifully pencilled Pullet. 



Black Cochins. — An excellent display by Messrs. Athole 

 and Herstine. The interest in this really good variety seems 

 to have had a fresh awakening. 



White Cochins, not a very large collection, the Messrs. 

 Lewis, Griffiths, and Stroeman dividing the honors between 

 them. Mr. Stroeman's pair were very fine of Cray Dork- 

 ings. There were but three entries. This variety seems to 

 be on the wane with Philadelphia fanciers. We should 

 have liked to have seen more Blue Dorkings brought out to 

 compete with the splendid pair shown by Mr. John E. Diehl. 

 In Golden-Spangled Hainburgs, only four entries, the honors 

 going to Messrs. J. Schofield and P. Taylor. Silver-Pen- 

 cilled, six entries; some competition. Silver-Spangled; some 

 excellentbirds shown by Messrs. Henry and Schofield. Black 

 Hamburgs ; the first premium cock shown by Mr. Schofield, 

 was a perfect beauty. We doubt if his equal can be found. 

 Black Spanish ; a small class, some of which were quite good. 

 White Leghorns ; a small class of about the average quality. 

 Brown Leghorns ; very few and not good. White-Crested 

 Black Polish, Golden-Spangled Polish, and the Polish classes 

 as a whole, were not good, the prize birds being most worth}' 

 of notice. 



Mr. John E. Diehl showed a good pair of White Frizzles. 

 In Dominiques, Mr. Wayne distanced all competitors. 

 Games were all good classes. The principal exhibitors were 

 Messrs. Ashford, Lightcap, Livzey, and Pye. The Game 

 Bantam classes were not so good as last year. Houdons ; a 

 small class; not extra fine. Jersey Blues ; only one or two 

 coops. With the exception of three Black African Bantams, 

 were a ver}' poor class. Bronze Turkeys, not good. White 

 Turkeys, one good pair. Aylesbury Ducks ; a small class, 

 but good ; Messrs. Schofield and Taylor taking the honors. 

 Bouen Ducks ; Mr. S. J. Sharpless showed two splendid 

 pens, taking first and second, with Mr. Thompson third. 

 Muscovey Ducks ; two pens. Geese were a small class ; one 

 pen of Bremen and one of Hongkong. 



W. A. Henry showed a fine pair of Pea Powls. J. K. 

 Booke exhibited a fine pair of Golden Pheasants ; also a pair 

 of Silver Pheasants. 



The show of Babbits was not so good as last year, Messrs. 

 Thompson and Lewis being the principal exhibitors. 

 Through some mistake the special premium for best collec- 

 tion of Babbits was awarded to the wrong person, Mr. 

 Thompson's being undoubtedly the best. 



The display of Taxidermy was very fine, Mr. Crenshaw 

 showing numerous specimens of his skill. 



The collection of Pigeons was very creditable, but not 

 being a pigeon fancier, we refrain from making any remarks 

 upon the merits or demerits of the individual birds.
