THE COTTAGE GARDENER AND COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, March 12, 1861.

Mottles, and winning the Carrier prize with a magnificent pair 
of Blacks. Mr. Parker’s Red Jacks were very beautiful, in full 
hood and colour. Both the Barb prizes went to Mr. Eden 
for two pair of magnifioent yellows. Much interest was excited 
as to the award of the Silver Cup given for the best pair of 
Turbits by Major Peddei*. The competition was chiefly between 
two pens belonging to Mr. Townley Parker and Mr. Zeigler. 
The prize was awarded to a very beautiful pen of imported Reds, 
the Blues of Mr. Parker taking second. The class for the new 
varieties included many imported birds. One prize went to a 
very perfect pair of birds belonging to Mr. Goore ; they re¬ 
sembled the birds lately shown as Shields, but were without 
turn crown or tuft. The other prizes were awarded to Erill- 
backs, and an imported pair of Silver Chequers. 
The Show was equally successful with those of previous years. 
The Judges were Messrs. Challoner and Eoulds for Game, 
Messrs. Fell and Tegetmeier for the general classes, and the 
latter gentleman for Pigeons. We subjoin the prize list.

PIE-JUICE AND HIVE-COVERS. 
Some years ago, I am told, a very learned, or would-be-learned, 
discussion took place in the gardening world on the best ways 
and means to keep the juice in the pie. One set of savans told 
how to put a cup under the crust, and another, equally learned, 
told how to put none at all. The cupites said, on raising the 
cup when the pie was to he eaten a great quantity of juice 
flowed out. “ True,” said the non-cupites, “ but the juice would 
never have got in unless the pie cooled, and, therefore, the cup 
saves nothing—not only that, but does harm; because when the 
heat cooks the fruit it also expands the air that was in the in¬ 
verted cup, and so fills the dish with wind, which said wind 
blows out the juice, and thus the cup loses, and not saves.” 
“ Never mind,” replied cupite, “ in my cup I always have juice, 
and you have none.” The opponent sneered, and thus came a 
dreadful war, similar to the horrible Brobdignagians, and no 
Gulliver to deliver them. 
Now, as the pie market will soon be looking up, without, as X 
am aware of, the juice point being settled, I will, with your per-
