THE COTTAGE GARDENER. 
September 11 
perfection of the feathered denizens of our farm yard, and 
amateur collections, were here to be seen. The annexed 
list of prizes contains the names of the successful exhibitors 
in the different classes. In pen 170 was exhibited specimens 
of the singularly beautiful birds Serai Taook; these were the 
property of Mr. Wm. Dawson, of Hopton. The Rouen Ducks, 
owned by Mr. Wm. North, of Huddersfield, and Mr. Heb- 
blethwaite’s Geese, were also highly meritorious. The 
Cochin-China fowls, though few, were good. In the adult 
Spanish class we rarely have seen as good birds got together. 
The Hamburgh classes were ably represented, and many 
good birds were necessarily precluded from taking prizes. 
The pen of Golden-pencilled, exhibited in class 13 by Mrs. 
H. Hickson, of Warburton, Cheshire, appeared to have ar¬ 
rived almost at the summit of perfection. Mr. Conyers and 
Mr. Battye maintained their reputation with white-crested 
black Polands . Game fowls mustered in great force, and 
contained good birds in all classes. We observed a pen of 
brown-red chicken, belonging to John Wormald, Esq., 
Dewsbury Mills, which are promising birds, but owing to 
their age were distanced by Mr. Fox and Mr. Itidgway. 
The judges were—Mr. C. S. Floyd, Sands, Holinfirth; 
Mr. T. J. Wigney, Huddersfield; Mr. Wm. Smith, Kent 
House, Halifax; Mr. J. Tuley, Holycroft, Keighley; Mr. J. 
E. Dobson, Leeds.
