TIIE COTTAGE GARDENER AND COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, June 15 , 1858. 
ticularly praiseworthy. The best Blade Cochins we remember 
to have seen were here triumphant in a large class, although, by 
some amateurs, a perfectly black cock of this variety has long 
been regarded as a myth ; here, however, the colour was true 
and unexceptionable. There were some especially good Grouse 
birds likewise. Never was there a better show of Sebright 
Bantams ; and in Black, and also White ones, there was no 
cause for complaint. A pen of Bumpless Pile-coloured 
Bantams, was a singularly attractive feature to visitors, being 
quite a novelty. 
The Geese and Turiceys were both first-rate; the Aylesbury 
Dudes equally good, but the Bouen Dudes inferior. Among 
the excellent extra stock, were perfect specimens of white 
and also coloured Beafowls , white Guinea Bowls , and 
very superior Spanish Geese . 
The collection of Bigeons wa3 unexceptionable, the competi¬ 
tion of the highest character, and many new varieties were 
exhibited in superior feather : a pen of the so-called “ Meeves ,” 
attracted considerable attention, whilst Swallows, Brunswicks, 
Magpies (red and black ones) were well shown. 
All the poultry were exhibited in the now well-known pens 
ot Mr. Cooke, of Colchester, and the tents containing them 
■were very superior. 
The Judges, were Mr. Edward Hewitt, of Sparkbrook, 
Birmingham, and Mr. Tegetmeier, of Muswell Hill, London.
