THE COTTAGE GAKDENEK AND COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, JaOTaS* 24, 1860. 
in such classes as these is an exploit, and we think the experiment 
of dividing them successful. The Duckwings, Black and White, 
were also good birds ; but the entries were not numerous. 
Game Bantams are becoming one of our most popular classes, 
and the entries are everywhere numerous. They were most 
beautiful; and we are glad to see they are becoming as true to 
feather as their larger brethren. If they continue to increase as 
they have done of late they will require to be classified. Messrs. 
W. Worrall, Moss, and Thornton were deservedly successful. 
The Gold and Silver and other varieties were all very good, but 
not numerous. 
There was an excellent display of Bucks. The first-prize 
Rouens weighed 19 fbs.; while a pen was second that, after 
travelling from Scotland, weighed 21 lbs. They were not so 
perfect in feather as the first. Aylesburys, as usual, afforded a 
triumph to Mr. Fowler, whose birds weighed 24 lbs.; he was 
followed by Mrs. Seamans, 22i lbs. There were beautiful Buenos 
Ayrean and Brown Call Ducks. 
Mrs. Bettat was very successful in Bolands. 
There were two excellent, classes of Cochin Chickens. Mr. 
Tomlinson was first in Buffs, with a young bird very like the 
famous old one. Miss Musgrove first, Mr. Cattle second for 
Grouse birds, after much competition. 
Our limits compel us to refer our readers to the prize-list for 
the details of the Single Cock classes. As it was thought last 
year cockerels in the Game Sweepstakes showed at a disadvantage 
against adults, it was this year altered, and the consequence was 
fifty-two old birds were entered, and thirty-three young. These 
classes are now familiar to the habitues of Poultry Shows ; but 
those who have not seen them at Liverpool have still something 
to see. The rows of bold birds, in perfect condition and feather, 
all level one with the other, and stepping proudly to the front of 
their pens to challenge the gaze of spectators, or the criticism 
of judges. Here, too, all colours meet—Black Reds, Brown 
Reds, Duck wings, and nondescripts ; but Black and White seem 
to have no stomach for the fight, and Piles do not show. 
The Judges were bound, in justice to the merits of many of 
these birds, to invent an intermediate state above a high com¬ 
mendation and below a prize. It w r as “Yery Highly Commended.” 
Exactly half the birds entered among the adults figure in the 
prize list. Five took prizes, Mr. Moss first and fourth; Mr. 
Worrall second; and Captain Hornby third and fifth. Messrs. 
Hindson, E. Archer, lion. W. W. Yernon, and E. C. Worrall, 
were very highly commended. All these birds were treading on 
the heels of the winners of the pieces of plate, and it was a long 
and difficult task to decide on their respective merits and claims. 
Half the cockerels also appear in the prize list. An old exhibitor 
took first prize. Mr. Wright, of Widnes, Messrs. Butler, Ilind- 
son, and Moss took the others. Messrs. Archer, Grimshaw and 
Wright were very highly commended. 
Sixteen beautiful Game Bantams entered the list. Mr. W. 
Worrall was first; Mr. II. Worrall second ; and Mr. H. D. Bayly 
third. 
This concludes our notice of this excellent Show. We are 
bound, as usual, to speak of the liberality of all the arrangements 
connected with it, and of the care, impartiality, and painstaking 
which distinguish this Committee, and entitle them to the thanks 
of all poultry amateurs.
