THE COTTAGE GARDENER AND COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, January 19, 1858. 
excellent. The Rev. Mr. Fellowes had an easy triumph with 
three weighing 22 lbs.; the next, Mr. TheedPearse, 17| lbs.; 
and Mr. Breavington’s 17 lbs. If fed like the Aylesburies, 
we have no doubt these would weigh as much. 
It is time a class was given for the 'Buenos Ayrean ducks. 
They are more numerous than many of the classes in a Show, 
and they are certainly very handsome. We had the novelty 
in this Various class of a pen of the beautiful Mandarins. 
The Buenos Ayrean were excellent. The Call Ducks were 
too large. 
Mr. Brandis fast monopolising the first prizes for Turkeys, 
at all the large Shows, and small wonder when we record that 
his adult birds weighed 77 lbs. We speak advisedly, when 
we say such a pen was never before shown. His young birds 
weighed 62 lbs. Mr. W. Cox showed some good Americans ; 
and Mr. Eisher Hobbs exhibited some wonderful birds, which 
were, unfortunately, disqualified, being in the wrong class. 
Mr. Rodbard’s second prize pen weighed 63 lbs.—a very 
large total. We note these weights particularly, as they 
plainly show not only the progress, but the utility of the 
pursuit and its result. 
All the arrangements were excellent. There was a large 
attendance of company, and the sales exceeded £400. The 
amount would have been greater, but many enclosures from 
the country had to be returned, as the pens they were in* 
tended to purchase were already claimed. 
Too much praise cannot be awarded to Mr. Houghton, for 
the quiet and the efficient way in which he performs the 
duties of his arduous task.
