THE COTTAGE GARDENER AKD COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, Jut.y 12, 1859. 219 
Mr. H. D. Bayley and the Rev. G. F. Hodson deservedly 
headed the lists for Golden Sebright Bantams; while the Hon. 
W. W. Yernon and Mr. Spary did the same in Silver. The first 
prize birds in both classes were very good. Blacks and Whites 
were not numerous, and in the former the deaf ears were not 
white enough. Messrs. Cattel and Crossland were first, and 
Messrs. Finch and Hardy second. Then came the beautiful 
Game Bantams. The competition was close, as all the prize 
birds were excellent; Mr. Thornton was first, hard run by Mr. 
Worrall, who was followed by Mr. H. D. Bayley. 
Mr. Fowler was, as usual, first in Oeese, and Mr. Price second. 
Mrs. Seamons first in Aylesbury Ducks, Mr. Fowler second 
and third. These birds were not so heavy as usual. The same 
gentleman took all the three prizes for Rouen Ducks—no mean 
exploit. Miss Steele Perkins headed the list for Buenos Ayrean ; 
Messrs. Burn and Baines second and third. Mr. Dixon took 
first and second for Varieties ; Mr. Dawson third. 
There remained one more great struggle— a Sweepstake of £1 
for Game Cocks. It was thus divided:—First prize, £15; 
second, £8 ; third, £5 ; fourth, £2 10s.; fifth, £1 10s. It was 
indeed a struggle, and at last was decided thus:— 
1st. Captain Hornby 4th. Mr. Mellows 
2nd. Mr. Archer 5th. Mr. Sumner 
3rd. Mr. Moss 
Nothing could exceed the beauty and condition of most of 
these birds. • 
We have said enough to convince our readers that this was a 
good Show. We have the satisfaction to state, on the best 
authority, it was a most successful one in a financial point of view. 
The exertions of the gentlemen forming the Committee richly 
deserved this result: they are essentially acting men. The thanks 
of all those who were connected with it are due to Messrs. Over¬ 
end, Ellison, Broadbent, Harvey, and Hellewell. We have 
seldom, in our experience, seen a Committee so harmonious and 
so energetic.
