132 FANCIERS’ 
JOUVRNAL ANDEPOULTRY HE RCIANGE 

Partridge Cochins were out in full force, Mr. Henry taking 
the lead with a splendid pair. Though hard pressed by Mr. 
Cooper, in young birds, Mr. Herstine took first with a splen- 
did Cockerel and beautifully pencilled Pullet. 
Black Cochins.—An excellent display by Messrs. Athole 
and Herstine. The interest in this really good variety seems 
to have had a fresh awakening. 
White Cochins, not a very large collection, the Messrs. 
Lewis, Griffiths, and Stroeman dividing the honors between 
them. Mr. Stroeman’s pair were very fine of Gray Dork- 
ings. There were but three entries. This variety seems to 
be on the wane with Philadelphia fanciers. We should 
have liked to have seen more Blue Dorkings brought out to 
compete with the splendid pair shown by Mr. John E. Diehl. 
In Golden-Spangled Hamburgs, only four entries, the honors 
going to Messrs. J. Schofield and F. Taylor. Silver-Pen- 
cilled, six entries; some competition. Silver-Spangled; some 
excellent birds shown by Messrs. Henry and Schofield. Black 
Hamburgs; the first premium cock shown by Mr. Schofield, 
was a perfect beauty. We doubt if his equal can be found. 
Black Spanish ; a small class, some of which were quite good. 
White Leghorns; asmall class of about the average quality. 
Brown Leghorns; very few and not good. White-Crested 
Black Polish, Golden-Spangled Polish, and the Polish classes 
as a whole, were not good, the prize birds being most worthy 
of notice. 
Mr. John E. Diehl showed a good pair of White Frizzles. 
In Dominiques, Mr. Wayne distanced all competitors. 
Games were all good classes. The principal exhibitors were 
Messrs. Ashford, Lightcap, Livzey, and Pye. The Game 
Bantam classes were not so good as last year. Houdons; a 
small class; not extra fine. Jersey Blues; only one or two 
coops. With the exception of three Black African Bantams, 
were a very poor class. Bronze Turkeys, not good. White 
Turkeys, one good pair. Aylesbury Ducks; a small class, 
but good; Messrs. Schofield and Taylor taking the honors. 
Rouen Ducks; Mr. 8. J. Sharpless showed two splendid 
pens, taking first and second, with Mr. Thompson third. 
Muscovey Ducks; two pens. Geese were a small class; one 
pen of Bremen and one of Hongkong. 
W. A. Henry showed a fine pair of Pea Fowls. J. N. 
Rooke exhibited a fine pair of Golden Pheasants; also a pair 
of Silver Pheasants. 
The show of Rabbits was not so good as last year, Messrs. 
Thompson and Lewis being the principal exhibitors. 
Through some mistake the special premium for best collec- 
tion of Rabbits was awarded to the wrong person, Mr. 
Thompson’s being undoubtedly the best. 
The display of Taxidermy was very fine, Mr. Crenshaw 
showing numerous specimens of his skill. 
The collection of Pigeons was very creditable, but not 
being a pigeon fancier, we refrain from making any remarks 
upon the merits or demerits of the individual birds.
