Doi-hiugs still prevail, the birds excellent ; and Mrs. Arkvrright may 

 be justly proud of tbo threat pie-eminence of her birds. Oo^hia'!, 

 though fewer in number, and Brahma Pootnis, were very superior 

 classes. Malait'> are too ungainly ever to prevail, despite increased 

 prizes. Tbe PrencJi i:antt:cs were mostly good, and are evidently 

 ascending to be cultivated as useful and not merely fancy birds. 

 Spahixh^ fewer in number, were never surpassed in excellence. Jlam- 

 burghs of all tbe varieties? were superior. I'jl'iitils were more numerous 

 than usual, and even Mr. Adkins was shorn of some of the honours. 

 In Gnrnc^ Black-breasted Reds, as usual, far ontnumbere<l the other 

 varieties, and the ccck exhibited by Mr. C. Challoner cannot be sur- 

 passed. BatUariis, few but good. Aylesbury Duch^ still are increased 

 in size, but not in excellence of appearance. Mrs. Seamons' tirst- 

 prize pair of birds weighed 175 lbs., last year they weighed 17.nbs. 

 The second-prize pair, Mrs, Burrell's, weighed 17 lbs. 7 ozs. ; and Mr. 

 Fowler's third-prize pair, 17 lbs. 2 ozs. Rouen Ducks were very sape- 

 rior. The first-prize pair weighed 18 lbs. 14 ozs. The first-prize 

 weight last year was lUi lbs. The second-prize pair weighed 17 lbs. 

 12 ozs., against 18^ lbs. last year. 



White Get^'c were very few and rather inferior. The weights were : — 

 Old birds, first prize, 53^ lbs. ; second prize. 52 lbs. ; birds of 1868, 

 55 lbs. and 51 lbs. ; birds'of 1869, 50J lbs. and 42 lbs., against 50 lbs. 

 and 40^ lbs. last year. Grey Oeese were more numerous and better 

 than their White brethren and Eist«r8. Old birds weighed 57 J lbs. 

 and 53^ lbs. ; last year, 55 lbs. and 51 lbs. ; young birds, 4S^- lbs. and 

 46J lbs. ; last year, 6U lbs. and 40J lbs. Turkeys, like Geese, are 

 chiefly valuable in proportion to their weight. Heaviest old cock this 

 year 34J lbs. ; last year 32 lis. ; young cock, 23J lbs., last year 24 lbs. 

 Pair of hens, this year 37i lbs. ; last year 37} lbs. ; poults this year 

 28 \hs. 2 ozs. ; last year 29 lbs. 



As usual, the prize pens were offered by auction by Mr. Lythall, tbe 

 prices realised being — Pen 62, Mrs. Arkwright's Coloured Dorking
