JOTIRNAL OF HORTICULTITRE AliTD COTTAGE GAEDENER. t January lo, 1866. 



of eggs, and the an-ay of silver prizes whicli surmounted it, 

 Mrs. Wood, of Sandwitli was the successful competitor for 

 the handsome egg-stand offered for the best dozen eggs, this 

 being her second victory in this line, on both occasions with 

 eggs laid by the same hen — a cross between Game and 

 Black Spanish. 



It is almost impossible that every one can be satisfied -with 

 the award of prizes in every class ; and it is therefore very 

 seldom that complaints are publicly noticed. In connection 

 with the present show, however, there is one matter which 

 seems to be worthy of the consideration of the Committee. ■ 

 It is assumed that the object of confining some of the prize 

 cups to AVest Cumberland is tliat of encouraging local 

 breeders, and a complaint urged during the show was, that 

 some of these prizes had been awarded to birds obtained from 

 breeders at a distance. The reply is that West Cumbei-land 

 ultimately gets the advantage ; but the parties aggrieved 

 are not satisfied with this answer, and contend that if the 

 object of the prizes be as above stated, such prizes should be 

 given only to birds not merely the property of but bred by 

 breeders resident in the district. 



It was a pretty general remark that if the society's 

 success should continue in the same ratio, there will not 

 next year be any room in the town sufficiently large for the 

 show. This, however, is a matter which may safely be left 

 in the hands of so able a Committee, and we trust that they 

 will not relax in their efforts to provide an Exhibition which, 

 though to some merely an amusement, is to others a means 

 of instruction, and to the commimity at large an undoubted 

 benefit. — {CnmbcrTand Pacqtiet.)
