Coloured Dorhings made thirfy-one pens, and in cocks Mr 

 Burnell won with a chicken we have not seen him show 

 before. He is a big bird and good in claws. The third (Beachey) 

 was in floe condition, and a thorough Dorking in shape, while 

 Messrs. Parlett and Lingwood and the Rev. H. Peel all had 

 good specimens. The cup went to the dark heD, a large bird of 

 fine oolour but with dusky feet, and the fourth and fifth toes on 

 one foot growing nearly together. The fourth (Ponting) was a 

 good bird. In Silver-Greys the three prize pens were all in 

 good condition. The cup cockerel was especially good, but the 

 most promising pullet in the class we thought was in 37 (Cress- 

 well). She had huge frame and fine colour, but the cockerel 

 was a bad colour and not straight in claws. In the other 

 Dorking class a lovely pen of Whites won, a really first-class 

 pair. Seoond and third were of merit, but nowhere near the 

 first pen in size or purity of colour. 



In Cochins the first Dairy Show Buff cockerel again won here. 

 His hackles have come out greatly, and the Ion,; ehow did not 

 seem to have hurt him; second were pretty in colour, but the 

 cockerel narrow. In Partridges Mr. Wood again won the cup, 

 but we do not think he had the same pullet in his cup pen as at 

 the Dairy Show, or else she looked better here. In the nest 

 class first-class Whites won first, the pullet very good. Second 

 went to the pen which we said at the Dairy Show should have 

 been third, but there the Judge only thought them worthy of 

 H-c, and in the third pen here there was an excellent pen of 

 Blacks. For the £5 5s. class a very white pen of old birds won 

 first, and not dear at the price. The Langsbans which followed 

 seemed here to show what a farce both the breed and the judgiog 

 of the breed is, for first went to very good Black Cochins, and 

 second to biro's of the LaDgshan type. 



Dark Brahma cockerels had a score of entries. The cup went 

 to Mrs. Tindal for a hugely bodied bird of good colour, while in 

 pullets the cup bird (Pearson) though exquisitely pencilled was 

 a shade pale and a little small. The cup Light cockerel was 

 large with a pretty comb, but of indifferent colour, as, in fact, 

 were most of the birds in the class. The cup Light pullet was 

 of fine shape and colour and prettily marked. We greatly 

 admired the third pen (Mrs. Holmes), and also pen 232 (v.h c ) 

 of Mr. Breeze. Lady Gwydyr and Messrs. Petter and Clarke 

 had good birds, and the class in fact was excellent. 



Spanish made a small class of six pens, where'the first and 

 second won easily, and were two good tens. 



In French both the cups fell to Mr. Wood. His Houdan 

 cockerel has a charming comb, but he is full yellow in his crest. 

 The third (Thomas) were also go d, and in C.Gves the winners 

 were very laige and of veiy fine colour. 



The Hamburgh clasBes were Lot strong, and we believe many 

 awards were be:e reversed from the Dairy Show. In Silver- 

 pencils the winters acre in pretty ord-r, but we thought the 

 cockerel too devoid ef marking; the stcoLd pallet (Pickles) was 

 good. In Blacks the first Were in excellent feather, but we 

 thought the o lour of the second (Sidgwick) the be3t. 



In Game the cup Black Red pullet waa a fine bird of good 

 points. The cup cockerel we did Lot so much admire. Mr. 

 Lyon had a good one in pen 331. Brown Reds were highly 

 meritorious, and after the winners we thought the one in pullets, 

 374 (Rudd), was good. Both Mr. Mariin's first-prize birds were 

 fresh and in excellent order and feather. 



The Polish were very fine. The first Gjld pullet admirable 

 in creBt and colour, but her mate's back certainly looked high ; 

 second and third also good ; while in Silvers Mr. Adkins cleared 

 the board with three grand pens. The Blackp, too, were very 

 good though so few, and the awards were made to the birds as 

 we marked them in our catalogue before the cards were placed 

 on the pens. 



Andalusians mustered ten pens, where many birds wanted 

 more time. The winners were stylish, but yellowish in ear- 

 lobes. 



Silkies were a good class, and the winners again were on the 

 whole well chosen, though we dislike the green feet of the first- 

 prize pullet, for green feet and bills are not right, and must be 

 bred out. 



In the Variety class pretty White Leghorns were first, La 

 Fleche second, and Brown Leghorns third, or else Black Minor- 

 cas, we forget which, but we preferred the latter. 



Game Bantams were numerous and good, as too were Blacks, 

 in which Mr. Beanland won with a pretty pen. In Laced the 

 cup birds were pretty Silvers, both well laced, but the cock too 

 large in comb. Mr. Leno had some good Golds, which seem to 

 be, we fear, waning in popularity after the Silvers ; and in the 

 variety Bantam clasB White Rose-combs with slate-coloured 

 legs were first, White Japanese were second, and Cuckoos third. 

 Our own choice was for pen 699 (Mrs. Brassey), which were 

 beautiful dark Japanese, and which this lady we believe brought 

 from Japan in her tour round the world. 



Waterfowl mustered fairly, the Aylesburys and Rouens being 

 both good collections, and the winners fine. In Blacks Mr. 

 Kelleway walked his two pens in once more first and second, 

 though Mr. Ogilvie made a good third with a pen very lustrous 



though a little too large. We hear there are fifteen pens 

 entered of this breed at Oxford, and shall hope to see some 

 fresh quality there. In the Variety Duck class a pretty pru of 

 Mandarins won firBt; vihile in Geese the winners were all Grey 

 and very heavy in appearance. Turkeys had only five entries, 

 but the wiLiiers were well choEen. 



The Pigeon notes will, we hope, be given next week. We 

 congratulate the managers of the Show on their Exhibition, for 

 in quality and arrangements it was certaiuly most admirable.
