JOURNA.Iii OF HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER.

The Judge in awarding the prize remarked that it was a splendid pen 

 of birds. The Bomlans were admirably represented, Mr. Broaard, 

 of Guernsey, being first, and Ml-. De Faye, of Jersey, second. Messrs. 

 Le Mottee.'Kiunersley, Guerin, and Bell were commended; although 

 ■we must add pen 103, Mr. Dobree's birds were very fiue specimens. 

 As for the rest of the Exhibition there is little to add with reference to 

 it, except that in the Selling Class, Mr. Carre, of Guernsey, exhibited 

 some remarkably nice birds, as also the Eev. T. Bell. The Pigeons 

 were also very good.

SCOTTISH METROPOLITAN POULTRY SHOW. 



This, the first Scottish Metropolitan Poultry Show, was held on Satnr- 

 <lay, Monday, and Tuesday last in a commodions hall on the grounds 

 of the Koyal Gymnasium, Edinburgh. The arrangements and fit- 

 tings in every part of the hall were of the most complete description, 

 the pens for the various classes of birds having been excellently ar- 

 aranged at a proper elevation, so that they could be inspected without 

 the least difficulty. The decorations around the hall were of tasteful 

 designs, interspersed with several appropriate mottoes. Everything, 

 indeed, betokened that the utmost care had been taken for the 

 comfort of the birds. That the entries numbered upwards of eight 

 hundred on this the first occasion of such an Exhibition is not a little 

 remarkable, and shows that a very great amount of interest attaches 

 to exhibitions of this description. We may state that the general 

 arrangements were made under the able superintendence of Mr. 

 J, M. D. Brown, while Mr. George Billett, of Southampton, attended 

 to the " na^turalist " department, and it is not too much to say that 

 loth gentlemen performed their duties in the most satisfactory manner. 

 "We may also state that the prizes amounted to £400, and, although 

 it m usual in such cases elsewhere when a bird is awarded a first 

 prize, should it be a cup with money added, the money is withheld and 

 only the cup given, at this Exhibition the winner of the first prize 



takes both cup and money. The cups and medals were famished by 

 Messrs. Hamilton &; Inches, jewellers, Edinburgh, and were greatly 

 admired, being of solid silver. The Show, as a whole, was truly ex- 

 cellent, and seldom, if ever, has such a fine selection of birds been 

 , hruoght together. It would be impossible to enter into the merits of all 

 the prize birds, and we must content ourselves by alluding to only a 

 few of the principal pens. A very fine specimen of the Coloured 

 cockerel Dorldngs, the property of Messrs. Gunson & Jeft'erson, 

 ' Whitehaven, obtained the first prize in that class. In the class for 

 ' pullets Mr. JD. Gellatly, Meigle, carried off the first prize with a pair 

 of finely-marked specimens. Mr. Will was first with a Coloured cock 

 in Class 3, and Mr. D. Gellatly, Meigle, was again to the fore in 

 Class 4. For the Silver Dorking cockerels Mr. Kaines, Stirling, ob- 

 tained the first award with a specimen having high general qualities. 

 Mr. Will's Cochin was deservedly awarded the first prize in that class. 

 The Game birds were, however, by far the most attractive portion of 

 the Exhibition, and they were truly a fine lot throughout. Mr. 

 Fletcher took the first prize with a very finely-shaped and beautifully- 

 marked cock. Mr. Fletcher again led the way with a very pretty 

 pen of pullets. Mr. Harley, Edinburgh, was first in the hen class with 

 a hen of beautiful shape and of almost faultless colour. The show 

 of Ducks was rather above what is commonly seen at even the best 

 shows. They are large heavy birds. The Shelldrakes, Carolinas, 

 Muscovies, and other fancy Ducks, were most attractive, and elicited 

 general marks of attention, as also did the Golden Pheasants. The 

 classes of Bantams were also very interesting, being divided into 

 seventy-eight pens, and from their neat and sprightly air commanded 

 a very large share of attention.
