 an excellent pen of Rilverdaced Sehricrht^. This -jentleman also took

 bootful liiii'itaiii-'* were aUo Eucce^sful. and the Game Bantams were well 

 ebown. Tlie class for Any other distinct breed was nuusually pood, 

 the first prize bein^ sectored by an eSsCGllent pen of Sultans. slio\m by 

 Jlr. Zurbfirst, of Dublin, in perfect phima«e; the other pii/.ea were

The Ayl*Rbury Dm^hs proved a remarkably fine rlftss, Mrs. Seftmcuis 

 taldrig her* nsual ]>ost, and Mrf^. John Logan, of Newport, provijug one 

 of the closest rivals that lady has met with in Aylesburj'S for some 

 years past.. It is also a singular circumstance here worth mentioning, 

 that ki a oliss -for Duekp. t-xMbited exelnsively by cottagers, no .other 

 variety than AylHsbm'T,'R was showu. wlrilst in the exttR class forl)ucks 

 only thb Brrenos Ayrean breed put in au appearance. ,. 



The sellintj class was most successful, embracing' forty pens, a good 

 , I many changing hands, as the price was limited to ^O.s-, the pen. 



The TurJiC^j.'i and Cuyst were exceedingly fine, and weighty al^o, the 

 competition bein^ most sever*. The Hon. F. C. Jlorgan. of Kniierra 

 Castle, Ne^\-port, exhibited one of the finest pens of purely White Tur- 

 keys we have seen for years past. 



The show of P{f/roiT^, though not so numerous as might be expected, 

 •was of gi*eitl' merit, a roferenipe to the prize list showing that tht> void- 

 petition re^ed v/ith many of our most noted exhibitors ; ija fact, it is
