THE COTTAGE GARDENER AND COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, December 18, 1860. 
There has been a trifling falling off in Aylesbury Dudes this 
year. Out of an excellent class the prize birds weighed re¬ 
spectively 22b, 22, and 21J lbs., while several highly commended 
weighed 20 lbs. We do not recollect this year having reached 
21 lbs. Mr. Breavington also again was first with Jtouena— 
20b lbs., followed by 20 and 191 lbs.: this was an excellent 
class. We are glad to speak well of the Blade Ducks — it was 
an unusually good class. 
The Marchioness of Winchester and Mr. Smith were first in 
Turkeys, the Rev. T. L. Fellowes taking three prizes. The 
following are the weights—old birds, HI, 54, 51 lbs. ; young, 
53, 461, and 46 lbs. “Various Ducks” produced Ruddy Shel¬ 
drakes, White-eyed Ducks, Mandarin and Carolinas. White 
Pheasants brought Golden and Chinese. 
There was then a hard contest for seven prizes in the Game 
Cock Sweepstakes. The names of the fortunate will be found in 
our list. We would gladly give more prominence to the names 
of the successful throughout our report, but space will not allow 
if. We trust and believe we have omitted nothing that required 
especial mention. Exact figures cannot be known at the time 
we go to press, but we are able to say this has been one of the 
most successful Shows ever held at the Palace. Mr. Houghton 
was, as usual, indefatigable ; anil we believe his anxiety to please, 
his undeviating politeness, and his constant efforts to promote 
the comfort of everybody, are fully appreciated by all who visit 
the Show. 
The Judges were G. J. Andrews, Esq., Mr. Hewitt, and Mr. 
Baily.
