deed must those who first produced this variety be if they have 

 lived to see its nnmber and popularity. "Worthily to criticise 

 such classes would take all the time we could devote to the 

 whole Show. Blue cocks (thirty-two), first exquisite in colour 

 and most points, but he has a little under wattie which we do 

 not like; second we preferred all round as a perfect Dragoon; 

 third good in head, but pale in colour and poor in bars. We 

 admired Mr. Burnell's very highly commended bird. Silver 

 cocks (ten), first a good Blue Silver ; second too Carrier-like in 

 head, but with good black bars. Red or Yellow cocks (fifteen), 

 the winners all Yellows. First and second of a very rich tint. 

 White cocks (sixteen), the winners all Carrier-like. Blue- 

 chequered cocks (five), the first the best. Any other colour cocks 

 (ten), first a very fine Grizzle. Blue hens (eighteen), first and 

 third we liked best. Silver hens (twelve), a good class. Red. 

 or Yellow (fourteen), cup went here to a Yellow. White hens 

 numbered twelve, and Blue-chequered eight, both fair classes. 

 Any other variety but four, first being a good Grizzle. Blue of 

 1877 (twenty-one) had rightly appended to them by the Judge 

 " Very good class." Mr. Woods carried off all three prizes ; we 

 thought his second the better type of Dragoon. YouDg Silvers 

 numbered nine, young Reds or Yellows eleveD, young Whites 

 twenty-one, Blue-chequers four, and Any other variety six. 



Antwerps (Shortf&ced cocks). — " A wonderf ally good class " 

 (so rightly did the Judge label it) of thirty-nine. Fir6t-and-eup 

 a Red-chequer, very good in head ; second a Silver Dun ; third 

 a Red-chequer rich in colour. Short-faced hens (twenty-four), 

 first a Red-chequer, second a Silver. Not Short-faced (twenty- 

 seven), first and third Silver Duns, second Red-chequers. Pour 

 large classes for Homing birds followed. Bunts (eight), first a 

 Silver, second and third Blues. Owls. — Blue or Powdered cocks, 

 seventeen entries, nearly all good. First and second both very 

 good and highly developed in head. Any other colour cock 

 (fourteen), first-and-cup Mr. Eckroyd's champion cup bird, se- 

 cond an indifferent Silver. Blue or Powdered hens (twelve), 

 first an indifferent bird Eave in beak, second a good bird and 

 known winner. Any other colour hens, first-and-cup a Silver 

 wonderful in head, second another good Silver. Foreign (four- 

 teen), first a White not very small, Eecond a Blue, third a some- 

 what coarse White. 



Turbits were a fine show of sixty-two birds in four classes. 

 Blue or Silver cocks (fifteen), first-and-cup an old and well-known 

 Silver, fine in head properties, but coarse ; second a Blue with 

 good bars ; third a Blue good in head. Any other colour cock, 

 first Mr. Burnell's well-known Yellow, a beautifully down-faced 

 bird, but poor in colour; second a Black, also well known, first 

 attheCrystalPalacelastyear ; third a good Red. Blueor Silver 

 hens (seventeen), first and second Silvers, the bars of the first 

 are not good, on one side ; third a beautiful little Blue. Any 

 other colour hens (fourteen), first-aud-cup a lovely Yellow, with 

 the finest frill we have ever seen ; we hear she is but two years 

 old, and has been twice first at Birmingham. Second a bright- 

 coloured Black, third a fair Red. 



Fantails. — White (seventeen). This class is confessedly most 

 difficult to judge — birds looking so differentat different moments, 

 and certainly the awards did not give the general satisfaction 

 they did in most classes. First waB a large coarse bird with a 

 round though very open tail ; second fair in tail, but with no 

 carriage ; third a very fine bird with even flat tail ; we thought 

 it about the best, though we know its owner, a capital judge, 

 preferred Mr. Cresswell's unnoticed bird, a beautiful little hen, 

 cup-winner at the Alexandra Palace. Any other colour (six), all 

 Blues, large birds with good tails, but quite devoid of carriage. 

 Nuns (eleven), first and second Blacks, the first very good ; 

 third a Yellow. Swallows (sixteen) a very good class. First- 

 and-cup a capital Yellow, second a Red, third a barless Blue. 

 Archangels (thirteen) a fine class. We are glad to see this 

 lovely variety coming into vogue. First and second rich copper- 

 coloured birds ; third a Black, which we consider quite a spurious 

 Archangel, and not eligible in this class. 



Jacobins had five classes and sixty entries. Red or Yellow 

 cocks (fifteen), first-and-cup a Red, not small, but wonderful in 

 hood and chain, its head seeming quite buried ; second a small 

 rich Red, its closeness of hood almost exaggerated; third a 

 Yellow good in colour and hood. Black or White cocks (twelve), 

 first a beautiful Black, second a White a little irregular in hood, 

 otherwise good ; third a coarse Black. Any other colour cocks 

 (six), first a Strawberry Red, very good in beak ; second almost 

 White ; third a Splashed bird, the merit of which we could not 

 see. Red or Yellow hens (seventeen), first a beautiful Red, beak 

 a little too straight to please us ; second a Yellow, long in chain 

 but not so good in hood ; third a nice little Red. Any other 

 colour hens (ten), firBt and third Whites, second a Black. Mag- 

 pies are a speciality of Oxford ; they had three classes and forty- 

 eight entries. Blacks (nineteen), Reds (fourteen), Any other 

 colour (fifteeen), Messrs. Bulley & Salter carried off nearly 

 all the prizes with capital birds. Any other variety, first a 

 Black Russian Trumpeter, second a Blue Priest, and third a 

 Satinette. — C.
