THE COTTAGE GARDENER AND COENTRY GENTLEMAN, August 28, 1860. 
The Polish of all varieties were very few in numbers, but there 
were among them some first-rate birds. 
Malay chickens at the best of times do not look sightly, and 
the present season did not improve them. The prize pens, how¬ 
ever, will grow up into first-rate adults. 
In the any other breed class the Creve Coeurs of the Hon. A. D. 
Willoughby and the Cuckoo Cochin-Chinas of Mr. W. Dawson 
deserved their success. 
The Gold-laced Bantams were surpassingly good ; but the 
Silver seem to become less white every year. The other classes 
of Bantams were very well represented. 
The Geese were generally first,-rate; and when we state that 
the prize Toulouse Goslings of Mr. Eowler, though only fourteen 
weeks old, weighed 16 lbs. each, our readers will appreciate the 
superiority of the birds. Ten years since a young Goose at 
Michaelmas could rarely be found weighing more than 10 lbs. 
The Aylesbury Bucks of Mr. Fowler, and the Bouens of the 
same gentleman and of Mr. Punchard, were about the finest 
birds under four months old we ever saw. Among Bucks of any 
-other Variety , the Buenos Ayrean of Capt. Beardmore, and the 
Casarcas, or Ruddy Sheldrakes, of Mr, T. II. D. Bayly, deserve 
especial notice. 
Of Pigeons there were about 230 pens, and the best judges 
agreed in considering them as far above an average in merit. Of 
these and of the Rabbits we shall give more particulars next week. 
The Chinchillas, or Silver Greys, we think might be bred profit¬ 
ably for the furrier. Mr. Baker exhibited two Hare-Rabbits. The 
doe bears a nearer resemblance to the Hare than does the buck, 
yet we entertain doubts, which we should like to have removed, 
whether these are the cross-breds they are alleged to be.
