THE COTTAGE GARDENER. 
September 4. 
The Game Fowls were very good, and so were most of 
the Hambro’s. The Silver - pencilled chicken class was 
deemed by the Judges very meritorious. 
The Sebright Bantams were not so good as tliey should 
have been, seeing a Silver Cup was offered for the first 
prize. 
The Geese were excellent, as will be seen by the follow¬ 
ing weights. Three, belonging to Mr. Edwards, ofBulstrode, 
weighed 60 lbs.; and those of Miss Fookes, 58 lbs. 
In Goslings, a wonderful advance has taken place in the 
increase of weight, and we mention it, that our readers may 
be aware of what may be done. The two prize pens, be¬ 
longing to Mr. Davies, containing four birds each, weighed 
150 lbs. Mrs. Ford took first prize with her celebrated Ducks, 
hard run by Mr. Davies, from whom they were originally 
purchased. The first-prize pen weighed 20 lbs.; the second, 
19J lbs.; and the third, 19 lbs; three birds in each. 
In Ducklings , four birds were required, and here the 
successful weighed 26 lbs. and 25 lbs. 
Mouen Ducks were numerous, but perfect birds formed 
the exceptions. No one can do wrong in these who takes 
the Wild Duck and Mallard for his standard of colour, 
especially in the bills of the Duck. We mention this, be¬ 
cause many exhibitors do not seem to know what guide to 
follow in these birds. 
Nothing could exceed the pains taken by every one con¬ 
nected with the show to add to the comfort or enjoyment of 
the visitors ; and, we believe, they were eminently successful. 
It was one of the most comfoi’table we ever visited. The 
Band of the Royal Artillery played daily, and from the 
beauty of the spot, the accommodation provided of every sort, 
and the lovely weather, the Anerly Poultry Show was at the 
same time a “ Fete Champetre.” 
Messrs. Smallfield, Ryder, and Wells, who had the 
management, were ubiquitous, and deserve the best thanks 
of all who, for half-a-crown, or a shilling, enjoyed this plea¬ 
sant meeting.
