THE COTTAGE GARDENER AND COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, Decembihj 11, 1860. 
The White Geese weighed 60 lbs., 50 lbs., and 45 lbs. The 
Grey weighed 70 lbs., 66 lbs., and 56 lbs. Mr. Fowler was first, 
and Mrs. Fergusson Blair second and third. We again con¬ 
gratulate this lady. 
The Aylesbury Ducks weighed 31^ lbs., 31 lbs., and 27 lbs. 
These were not up to last year’s weights, nor was the class as 
numerous. 
The Douens were better represented, bringing thirty-two pens. 
The successful weighed 28 lbs., 26 lbs., and 25 lbs. 
The Black East Indian Ducks were remarkably meritorious, 
and contributed to the old honour gained in this class by Mrs. 
Beasley and Miss Steele Perkins. 
The “ Various Class ” was a success, producing White-eyed, | 
Brahma, Ruddy Sheldrakes, Mandarin, Carolina, and Call 
Ducks. 
The Turkeys weighed—adults, 61 lbs., and 55 lbs. ; young, 
47 lbs., 43 lbs., and 42 lbs. The third prize was given to an 
American pen, and it would be unfair not to notice a very re¬ 
markable breed of Virginians shown in this class. They are 
blue, slightly pencilled with black, and marked in black spots. 
This brings us to the close. We must explain that the 
present report, and the list of awards published last week, must 
serve as keys one to the other. It will, we hope, be seen that in 
•a paper of this length it is impossible to mention all names that 
deserve it. 
Many pens showed that the difficulty of finding three hens 
remained as great as ever. They also proved that the season 
has not been favourable, and, as an exhibitor said to us, that the 
food this year has not done them as much good as usual. The 
continued success of certain strains and yards also proves that 
success is the result of painstaking, and not a chance. 
Everything this year was a success. We congratulate the 
acting members of the Council and the Poultry Committee 
heartily. They deserve the best thanks of their townsmen, of 
exhibitors, and spectators, and all interested in the question. 
We hope we shall have to return to this when we announce the 
Society is free from debt. 
The' Judges were—The Rev. Robt. Pulleine; G. J. Andrewes, 
Esq. ; Mr. Baily ; Mr. Hewitt; and Mr. Challoner.
