Judges. — Poultry: Mr. Richard TeebRy, Fnlwood, Preston; Mr.

 mingham, riyeons : Mr. F. Esqnilaut, Briston ; and Mr. J. Charlton, 

 Trafalgar Street, Bradford, fiabbits : Mr. Richard Teebay. 



I soon fonnd myself amongst the Rabbits, some of which I beheld 

 foi the first time, others were familiar to my eyes ; very well they 

 looted with the snn shining on them, but not so much as to injure or 

 anuov. In my opinion the arrangements were good ; the pens were 

 roomy and all that could be desired with one or two exceptions. A 

 little straw or hay would have been a comfortable addition. I do not 

 care to see so much green food given Rabbits from twenty to forty 

 hoars from their comfortable hutches where, judging from the animals' 

 appearance, they had been abundantly supplied with better fara. I am 

 sure the steward in charge will promise better things for next year. 



The show of Rabbits was quite a success, about twice as many befog 

 shown as in the preceding year, and I see no reason why Rochdale 

 and its twin sister Middleton should not have the best exhibitions of 

 Rabbits in Lancashire. Mr. R. Teebay was the Judge, and with per- 

 haps one or two exceptions gave most satisfactory awards. Of Lops 

 there were nine entries. The splendid Black and White buck of Mr. 

 A. H. Easten, Hull, justly deserved the position which he took here, 

 as at many other shows, as a cup-winner; his ears were 2'2i inches 

 by 5J. The second prize was given to Mr. E. Vaughan, Market Hall, 

 Birmingham, for a Yellow and White Rabbit, eleven months old, with 

 ears 22 inches long by nearly 5 inches wide. The highly commended 

 specimen from Mr. G. Johnson, Wood Street, Kettering, was good. Of 

 Silver-Greys there were eleven entries of good, well-silvered specimens, 

 and the first prize and a high commendation were given to Mr. E. M. 

 Royds, of Greenhill, Rochdale, and the second prize and a high com- 

 mendation to Mr. S. G. Hudson, Paragon Street, Hall, for specimens 

 which were all that could he desired. I rather incline to the belief that 

 the specimens most to be appreciated are those most perfectly silvered, 

 and in this particular some beautiful Rabbits were Bhown. The Hima- 

 layans (six entries) were not quite so perfect as I could have wished. The 

 first-prize specimen from Mr, B. S. Rothwell, Rochdale, and tho second- 

 prize ono from Mr. James Boyle, jun., of Blackburn, were the best in 

 some importpnt points; yet one shown by Mr. Butterworth, Rochdale, 

 if not equal to its more fortunate neighbours, which I rather incline to 

 tbink it was, at least deserved high commendation. Strange to say, no 

 high commendations were given in this class, yet the Silver-Greys 

 could boast of two. In the class for " Any other Variety " there were 

 eleven entries. An Angora, well nosed, from Mr. T. Schofield, 140, 

 Drake Street, Rochdale, was first ; the second prize going to a good 

 Dutch Rabbit from Mr. Hudson. This little animal seemed quite 

 proud of its grey coat and white collar. A high commendation waa 

 given to a White" Angora from Mr. Joseph Butterworth, Indlo Pasture,
