soft in tail. Third another good Duckwing rather high in tail; [ marvel. Rouens seemed a fine class, but were in a bad position 
we think the Dairy Show winner. 283 (Colgrove), a good-looking 
Pile. In pullets first was a good Duckwing, dark in eyes ; second 
a Pile which we should have put first; third a middling Duck- 
Undubbed cockerels num- 
wing. 2305 (Andrews), a good bird. 
bered seventeen. First a Black Red good in form, inclined to be 
duck-footed. Second a promising Pile. Third a good-looking 
Black Red as good as any in the class. 308, highly commended 
(Matthew), another good Black Red. 
Hanburghs.—We much liked the first Golden-pencilled cockerel 
for his lovely golden chestnut hackle ; the comb of the second 
cockerel appeared to have been tampered with; third a cockerel 
with a splendid tail, but a coarsely pencilled pullet. Silver-pencils 
as a class looked out of condition. First a cockerel with good 
honest comb, his tail not fully grown ; second a forward cockerel ; 
third cockerel good in head, and pullet less coarse in pencilling 
than most pullets. Golden-spangles did not strike us as good. 
The first pair were stylish. First Silver-spangles a pretty pair, save 
that the cockerel’s comb is set too far from his head ; second 
heavy and good in mooning, but cockerel’s comb uneven and his 
sickles backward ; third well mooned. In Blacks we could not 
see any first-rate cockerel in a class of twenty-four. The first- 
prize pair were fat too purple, and the cockerel had curious patches 
of gold on the wing; his head, however, is good. Second were 
moderate. Pen 391, highly commended (Garnett), were the best 
in the class, the pullet excellent in every point and the cockerel 
very good with the exception of a slight drooping of the spike of 
his comb. 
Polands.—Gold had a class to themselves, and very good the 
winners were. First a pair which we admired at the Dairy Show. 
Silvers and Blacks were mixed. First were Silvers, with markings 
more inclined to spangling than are generally seen now; second 
Silvers ; third Black, spoilt by a parting in the cockerel’s comb. 
French Fowls—Houdans mustered twenty-nine pens. As a 
whole the class was good, the pullets generally better than the 
cockerels. The cup cockerel a large bird with fine round breast, 
not over-good in comb; pullet good, moderately dark in colour ; 
second a very fine pullet, cockerel with enormous comb and poor 
crest ; third a yery dark pair, the cockerel’s comb perfectly 
monstrous ; fourth a good pullet. We wondered why pen 444(R. B. 
Wood) was left out, and admired Mr. Boissier’s pullet. Créve- 
Cceurs.—We think the breed is improving in form, and are glad 
to see them shown shorter on the legs. First a capital pair, cock- 
erel’s comb, however, sticking out too much in front of the head ; 
the pullet in second pen looked as fine as the first ; third a well- 
shaped cockerel with a poor crest. 
Malays.—First a well-developed pair ahead of the rest, the 
pullet light cinnamon in colour ; second and third not so forward, 
pullets darker. 
Leghorns.—Most of the Brown cockerels were short of tail. The 
first very handsome in comb and carriage. Messrs. Fowlers’ 
Whites looked overshown, and so were put behind others which 
in points they surpassed. 
Andalusians—The cup pen much grown since we saw them last, 
and now a very nice pair; the second and third were rather red 
in lobes. Several pens in this class were empty. 
Silkies—The first pair by far the best, specially in crests ; the 
other awards we did not think felicitous, but several pens were 
yery equal. Pen 542 (Dr. Macrae) contained two indifferent cocks 
and received a high commendation. 
Sultans.—The cup pair by far the best; the second pair were 
five-toed, rather yellow, but with fine crests. 
Any Other Variety.—First La Fléeche, second Plymouth Rocks ; 
third, Black Minorcas. 556, highly commended (Dugmore), White 
Rumpless. 
Bantams were very numerous, 102 pens being entered. The cup 
Black Reds are very good, especially the cockerel, which combines 
smallness of size with good tight carriage; the second also are 
capital. the pullet even better than the first, though the cockerel 
hardly the equal of the first. Brown Reds were a small class. 
First a local pair, winning by condition, though not particularly 
good in points ; second pretty birds, not smart enough. In the Any 
other variety Game fifteen pens competed. All the winners were 
Piles, the cup pen very good, the third in our opinion better than 
the second. Black Rose-combed numbered fifteen. This variety 
seem to us to get larger and larger; certainly they are now 
shown with magnificent lobes, but other points seem sacrificed for 
these. The first pair were easily ahead. Sebrights were not 
superior. First Silvers, the cock’s comb very coarse; second 
Silvers, the cock a nice bird; third Golden, rather large. The 
cock in Mr. Leno’s very highly commended pen a very pretty little 
Silver. Any other Variety —First, a well-known pair of Pekins ; 
we should much like to know their age and how many of the 
breed are left in the country. Second Cuckoos, well marked but 
large, we wondered at the award ; third White Rose-combed. The 
class was an interesting one from the great number of varieties 
in it, some being very rare. Mis. Holmes showed nice Black- 
booted, Mr. Dugmore White-booted ; and Mrs. Brassey her famous 
Dark Japanese, not in their former blooming condition. 
Waterfowl.—In Aylesburys Messrs. Fowlers’ first drake is a 
2 
to see their colour and markings. Pekins had thirteen entries. 
Mandarins and Carolicas had a class between them ; first and thitd 
being of the former variety, second of the latter. Black East 
Indians were, as usual, beautifully seen in the gallery. First 
small, very good. Second capital in colour, but a little larger ; 
next in our opinion came one of Mr, Kellaway’s pens. 
Any other variety—V¥irst the Chiloe-Widgeon which won at the 
Dairy Show. Their colours are very soft and beautiful. Second, 
Viduatas ; third, ruddy Sheldrakes. 
Pheasants mustered three pens. Nice long cages they had, still 
the lovely pair of fire-backed birds which won second seemed 
very uneasy and damaged their pumage a good deal. The 
Golden, which were second and third, were quite tame and at 
home. 
Turkeys were heavy and good. Every pen noticed. (reese, too, 
were marvels for the year. Whites came in for the first prize. 
The usual Selling classes followed, but we abstain on principle 
from commenting upon them.
