116 TJie Lincoln Show, 1907. 
two chicken classes were full of merit, the pullets being about 
the best seen at this Show for some years. In the Any Other 
Colour classes the exhibits were all Silver Greys. The leading 
cock was reserve for best in the section, and held the position 
well. Altogether they made a fine show. Following these 
were the Sussex, and,. although not an old breed on the show 
bench, they made a good display. The two old bird classes 
were w'ell contested, but several failed through lack of con- 
dition. Of the youngsters little need be said, the leading 
cockerel standing out from the rest. Brahmas were just a 
moderate lot, with the exception of the winners, and they stood 
well away from the others. The two Cochin classes were about 
the best seen at the Royal for many years past, the cocks sur- 
passing all previous records. The special winner in the section 
was the buff cock exhibited by Mr. Geo. H. Procter, and is an 
exhibit worthy of special mention. With the exception of the 
Faverolles, French came up very poorly, yet of the former 
these made a fair display and the quality about as usual. The 
Table classes were considerably reduced, but the cross-bred 
class contained some good birds from the Indian-Dorking and 
Faverolle-Dorking crosses. 
Ducks. — The Aylesbury drakes were a really grand class, 
beautiful in colour and of immense size. The ducks were also 
a real good class, the winners being hard to select, and some 
good ones had to be left out. The classes for Rouen drakes 
and ducks were small in numbers, but of excellent quality. 
The winner in the class for Indian Runner drakes was one 
of the most typical specimens living, grand in shape and colour. 
Indian Runner ducks were a good class. The first and second 
were near together, small and neat good ones. These are a use- 
ful duck, being excellent layers. There were some fair birds 
in the class for Any Other Variety drakes and ducks. The 
water fowl all through made an excellent show. 
Geese. — There were some very large specimens shown in the 
gander class, the first and second went to two White Embdens 
of immense size and grand colour. The geese were also a real 
good class, some of the best birds in the country being shown. 
Turkeys. — These made a good display. The winners 
amongst the cocks were hard to select, so many grand ones 
being exhibited, some weighing on to 45 lb. in weight. 
Produce. 
Butter.— In Glass 389 (box of twelve 2 lb. rolls) there were 
only four exhibits.. The first and second prize butters were 
excellent, the other two samples containing too much moisture. 
Class 390 (2 lb. fresh butter made up in lbs.) was an excellent
