iS9 
Philadelphia's Prize Poultry and Pigeons. 
( Continued .) 
Hamburgs, Dorkings, Red Caps, Cr6ve- 
coeurs and Hcudans, nearly a dozen dif¬ 
ferent kinds of Games: Frizzles, Errni- 
nettes, Silkies, and a large number of 
Bantams of various kinds. Some Rump¬ 
less fowls also varied the tail-sporting 
breeds. 
That noble American bird, the turkey, 
was represented by only eight speci¬ 
mens, four Bronze and three White, and 
one tufted gobbler, exhibited by J. L. 
Buck, of Philadelphia. This specimen 
erected and depressed his crowning ap¬ 
pendage at will, and attracted much at¬ 
tention. He may be of interest to friend 
Chapman, who described a similar freak 
in The R N.-Y. of January 7. There 
were two pairs of geese, one Embden 
and the other wild. Pekin, Rouen, 
Cayuga and Muscovy ducks were repre¬ 
sented by a dozen pairs, Pekins lead¬ 
ing. There were a few Pearl and White 
Guineas. 
Of pigeons, there were over 200 dif¬ 
ferent varieties, and considerably more 
than 1,000 specimens. 
Pet Stock. 
This department delighted the ladies, 
and the boys and girls. Short-Haired 
Guinea pigs, vied with Long-Haired ones; 
Lop-Eared rabbits, hobnobbed with Bel¬ 
gian haies. A beautiful pair of Maltese 
cats vainly endeavored to feel at home in 
their narrow quarters, while a pair of 
Japanese Waltzing mice pirouetted gaily 
around in their glass prison. Fancy fishes 
disported themselves in their glass 
globes, while monkeys chattered at 
everybody from their cages. English 
and Silver pheasants attracted admiring 
glances, while the collections of fancy 
cage birds, and European song birds 
comprised several hundred specimens of 
many different kinds. 
Incubators and Brooders. 
Manufacturers evidently weren’t anx¬ 
ious to advertise, only two being repre¬ 
sented, and they having little that was 
new to offer. The difficulty of procuring 
eggs may be responsible for this, as there 
is little use in exhibiting these machines 
unless in operation. 
Dressed Poultry and Eggs. 
The display of these was beggarly ; I 
could have carried the whole in a basket, 
and not half try. One dressed chicken, 
and two dressed ducks ! Five different 
lots of eggs, one of them comprising 16 
different kinds of hen, duck, goose, tur¬ 
key, and mud hen. And these are the 
objects for which the great mass of 
American poultrymen keep poultry ! 
Isn’t it time to change this order of 
things ? 
The premiums offered were liberal. The 
management was efficient. The arrange¬ 
ment and classification were imperfect, 
owing mostly to the late date at which 
many entries were made. The officials 
were courteous and obliging, and the at¬ 
tendance good. F. H. Y
