OUR LETTER BOX. 
Rabbit Breeding (W. Wooler ).—Whatever tends to cultivate habits 
of attention, and the exercise of judgment and perseverance during a 
boy’s youth, is a desirable occupation. The rearing for exhibition 
rabbits, poultry, flowers, or even canaries, is therefore worthy of being 
encouraged. We shall be glad to have from you any practical observa¬ 
tions on rabbit rearing. 
Rabbits at Crystal Palace (J. Mackworth). —Write to Mr. Percy 
Boulton, Beverley, Yorkshire. We do not know a Mr. Forrest, from 
whom you wish to get eggs of Duckwing Game fowls. If he sees this, 
perhaps he will write to us, and give his address. We are always ready 
to answer one or two questions; but many questions, and on widely 
different subjects, occupy more time than we can afford to one corre¬ 
spondent. 
Book on Birds’ Eggs.— T. A. S. wishes for a work, at a moderate 
price, with coloured illustrations. Will some of our readers favour us 
with information on the subject? 
Shrewsbury and Anerley Prizes.—“I have not yet received my j 
prize money from the late Shrewsbury and Anerley Shows. Will any of ! 
your readers inform me if they have succeeded in getting theirs, and in ' 
what way? I should imagine it could be treated as a case of swindle. 
I not only paid entrance fees at Anerley, but a two-guinea subscription.” i 
—C. R. Titterton. 
[It is useless to occupy our columns further upon this subject, i 
Prosecute some member of each Committee. No appeal but that of 
force will influence such men.] 
Breast or Golden-spangled Hamburgh Cock. —“Ought the i 
breast of a Golden-spangled Hamburgh cock to be a black or spangled ? : 
I have heard of both. I now appeal to any person who may think it j 
worth while to answer the question.”—A Correspondent. 
Piiiloperisteron Show. —We are requested to correct the following : 
misprints in our account of this Show :—The name of Bir. Bult was , 
printed Butt in one place, and the name of Bir. Parkinson was omitted 
as an exhibitor of Carriers. 
LONDON MARKETS.— January 26th. 
COVENT GARDEN. 
We have little to add to last week’s report, owing to the usual slack¬ 
ness which occurs at this time of year. We have a fair supply of all out¬ 
door produce, both home-grown and foreign. Good Pines are in rather 
better request among country customers, and we have still some excellent 
retarded Grapes, comprising Black Hamburgh, West’s St. Peter’s, and 
Muscats; indeed, much more than usual at this period, and we are glad 
to And growers pay attention to this desideratum. 
POULTRY. 
The market is still but scantily supplied, and prices are well maintained.
