JOTJBNAL OP HOETICULTUEE AND COTTAGE GABDENEB. [ September 14, 1876. 



very good pen of Silver-laced were first, capital White-booted 

 chickens second, and Black-booted third. In Bucks the first 

 Bouens were very large and heavy birds. In Ajlesburys the 

 winning pens were clear in bill and good in size and shape. 

 In the Black Dack class a wonderfully glossy pair were first, a 

 shade too large perhaps, but still they won easily, and we never 

 saw a pair in better bloom. 



The Pigeons mustered very fairly. In Carrier cocks the 

 winner was Mr. Baker's new purchase. In Pouter hens a very 

 fine White was first. We heard a remark or two as to this 

 bird's sex, but we believe the owner is perfectly satisfied in his 

 own mind, and he is the last man we know who would inten- 

 tionally try to deceive. In Barbs a very good pair of Blacks 

 won the cup. There were all sorts of surmises as to who Mr. 

 Combe was, as, too, there was as to who Miss Adams was who 

 exhibited in the Light Brahmas. Fantails were very good 

 indeed ; a very good pair of Whites were first. Jacobins were 

 splendid, a grand pair of Eeds being first, and good Yellows 

 second. A good pair of Blues won in Dragoons ; the third, too, 

 were a nice pair, good in head and shape. Very pretty foreign 

 Whites won in Owls. A good pair of Black Trumpeters won in 

 their class ; second also going to Blacks. In the Variety class 

 a capital pen of Frillbacks won first. In the 1876 class a 6mart 

 young Carrier was first, and a Pouter took the second place.

that is — Indian corn alone is bad food for poultry in confine- 

 ment, and they should be fed with Spiatt's or other soft fcod. 

 Turner's pens were used in all sections. 



Aquatic birds started the list, and all theEe classes were well 

 represented. Game were small in numbers, the birds which 

 stood best out being the first-prize Black Eed ccckerel and the 

 first Brown Eed pullet, both of which were uncommonly good. 

 Hamburghs were good but not numerous, most of the winners 

 being birds upon which we have commented before, except a 

 few brought out the first time from Bamet, which with time 

 must make their mark. Cochins a good lot, but the first-prize 

 Buff cockerel had a twisted comb, though otherwise good. 

 Brahmas a fair lot, but in the pullets we consider too much 

 weight is being given to pencilling at the expense of shape and 

 style. In French were Eome grand birds, particularly the first 

 Creve-Cceur cockerel, which with a little time will be a wonder. 

 Bantams were large classes, but the poor little things looked 

 fearfully cold, and many will no doubt suffer severely. Game 

 were capital in all classes. In the Bantam Variety class the first 

 were Silver-laced, Eecond Blacks, and third Silvers. In the 

 Variety class were some good Black Hamburghs, which carried 

 off all the prizes. 



Pigeons were an excellent display and the entries large, but a 

 great number of the birds were in deep moult, but extra pnzes 

 were very freely given. The Pouters looked to the greatest dis- 

 advantage, and most of the Carriers looked as if a good rest 

 would be of use to them. Duns won most of the prizes, and to 

 a Don cock the cup was given for the best pen in the Show. 

 In hens we did not quite agree with the awards, for Mr. Walker's 

 hen looked her very best and was placed extra second, the rest 

 being all to some extent out of condition, and certainly none 

 carried more points than the first-named. Barbs in both classes 

 were pretty good and properly placed. Almond Tumblers good, 

 but strange to say we only found two cards on the pens, First 

 a cock and second a hen. Tumblers, any other variety, a large 

 class, the first going to a Yellow Mottle. Pen 936 was a capital 

 Yellow Mottle. Dragoons, Blue and Silver, were a good class, 

 but only three were noticed. In the other colours Grizzles 

 won both prizes, and these were very good birds. English Owls 

 a good and large class, but very few noticed, and we really 

 thought these might have been better treated. The first was 

 Silver and the Eecond Blue. Foreign were— first White and 

 second Black. The first in Jacobins waB a Yellow good in every 

 point, second a capital Eed; and in the following class White 

 was first and Black second. Turbits were numerous in both 

 classes, and here again very few commendeds were made. Fan- 

 tails good , Whites winning. In Antwerps were two new come- 

 outs in t- shape of Short-faced Eed Chequers, which had an 

 easy first an.: second in a fair class. The prizes were withheld 

 in the Long-faced class. 



Babbits were a poor show, there being nothing calling for 

 special notice.

ALTRINCHAM SHOW OF POULTRY, &c. 

 This Show, which was of two-dayB duration, was held on the 

 8th and 9th inst., and in point of entries was a great success. 

 Poultry were in open pens, which for a two-days show we con- 

 sider a great mistake, as cold September nights tell very 

 severely upon young stock, of which the Show was composed. 

 Although covered at night on the front with cotton, we should 

 advise that in future they be kept only one day, and provided 

 with a tent, as in the case of the Pigeons. One more grumble, 

 and then we can say the other parts were well managed, and
