THE PROTEST AT THE LATE ANERLEY 
POULTRY SHOW. 
Can you, or any of your readers, inform me whether the 
Auerley Committee have taken any notice of the protest 
formally entered against Mr. Davies’s Dorking chicken? 
If they have, what is the result ? If not, I should much 
like to know “ the reason why." 
Mr. Lewry publicly stated, at Anorley, that he and two 
or three witnesses were ready to state, on oath, that the 
cockerel and pullet (?) in the pen that took the first prize, 
were not hatched this year, and that the cockerel dated his 
appearance into the world as far hack as the 2nd of Sep¬ 
tember, 1854. 
Under these circumstances, I think you will agree with 
me, that true, or not, this matter should not be passed over, 
as it can he neither agreeable to Mr. Davies, or satisfactory 
to exhibitors in general to do so.—F airplay. 
(We heard that the Rev. Mr. Boys entered such a protest, 
hut we have not heard with what result.—E d.) 
BRIDGNORTH POULTRY SHOW. 
It will be seen by an advertisement that this Show takes 
place on the 4th of October. It has the novel feature of 
being confined exclusively to the chicken of each variety of 
the Domestic Fowl, hut the Turkeys and Geese may he of 
any age. 
There must be a male and two females in each pen, and 
for each the First Prize is £1 ]0s., and the Second Prize 
10s. The classes are as follows:—

LONDON MARKETS.— September 24th. 
COVENT GARDEN. 
We are now right into the fruit season, and to enumerate 
all the varieties which are met with in the market would he 
next to impossible. The supply of Williams' Bon Chretien 
continues unabated, and almost every costermonger’s truck 
in the street is groaning under the loads of this delicious 
Pear. Hessels ai'e also very abundant, and come in as a good 
succession to Williams'. This is a very profitable variety; 
and last year, when there were scarcely any autumn Pears 
to be had, several of the London gardeners had a good crop 
of this variety. Peaches and Nectarines continue abundant; 
indeed, a perfect glut. Grapes are also very plentiful, and 
Plums of all kinds, including Damsons. Vegetables continue 
a good supply, aud Flowers of all kinds are also abundant.
