JOUBNAL OF HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GAEDENEB.

ia. marking than ever. The ladies lingered round this class. 2015 

 was a beautiful pen. 



The White Geese weighed 58 lbs. 12 ozs., and 56 lbs. 5 ozs. ; the 

 youDg ones 49 lbs. 4 ozs., and 49 lbs. Grey, 62 lbs. 6 ozs., and 

 54 lbs. 6 ozs. ; young ones 53 lbs. 6 ozs., and 49 lbs. 1 oz. The first 

 prize old Greys were really enormous, as the weight will show.™ 



The first prize for old Turkey cocks was won by a splendid bird 

 sent over by Mr. Simpson. Notwithstanding the voyage he was in the 

 best order of any in the class, and weighed 36 lbs. 4 ozs., being said to 

 have gained several pounds on the passage. The same gentleman was 

 very highly commended for a crested bird. The second prize weighed 

 35 lbs. 2 ozs. The young cocks were 24 lbs. 6 ozs., and 23 lbs. 12 ozs. 

 respectively, and seventeen pens were distinguished by the Judges. Old 

 hens weighed 35 lbs. and 34 lbs. ; young ones 31 lbs. 4 ozs., and 

 29 lbs. 1 oz. These weights have been somewhat exceeded, but are 

 very good. 



Looking over the whole Show, in spite of many individual exceptions, 

 we were struck with its great inferiority in quality to the usual 

 Birmingham average, which may probably be accounted for by the 

 Crystal Palace Show nest week. Greater dissatisfaction than usual 

 of late was also expressed with the awards. This may partlv be ac- 

 counted for by the great waste of judging power caused by dividing the 

 Judges into parties of three each ; bat much more, it seems to us, by 

 the extremely bad light this year, which told severely on the lower 

 tier of birds, if by any other order of the classes the lower rank 

 could be filled by those breeds which bear a bad light best, we are con- 

 vinced many otherwise unaccountable errors would be avoided. 



In point of attendance, and also of sales, the 1870 meeting was 

 very successful. 



[We hope to give notes on the Pigeon3 next week.]
