Prize Rabbits at the Rochester and Chatham Show, 1850. 'These fine animals were exhibited at the recent half-yearly Prize Show of the Chatham and Rochester Fancy Rabbit Club, held at the Gibraltar Tavern, New-road, Chatham. Each of these rabbits is about six months old, and they obtained the first and second prizes at the Show: one is a grey buck, measuring in length of ear 21¼ inches; the other is a black and white doe, 21¾ inches in length of ear, and nearly 5 inches width. They are the longest-eared rabbits ever seen; and both are very fine specimens of that beautiful animal. They are in the excellent stud of Mr. George Powell'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
