cockerel, a truly grand bird, and yet he only won very narrowly, 

 Messrs. Mitchell and Long coming close. Polands good, but 

 not numerous, and French a fair lot. In Bayitama Game were 

 good as far as the winners went. Black Reds being successful, 

 and also carrying off the ciip. First and second Blacks very 

 smart and good, rest moderate. In the Variety class of Bantams 

 Silver-laced were first. Booted second, and Gold-laced third. 

 We think the judging of the Bantams very erroneous. Rouen 

 Duels were a large class, and many pens were noticed, the 

 first by Lord Tredegar were very cheap at the catalogue price. 

 Aylesburys were a fair lot, but not equal to the Rouens. Turkeys 

 were 454, 44, and 43 lbs. weight in winners, and both these and 

 the Geese were good classes. The Selling classes were immense, 

 but the Duck class poor. 



In Pigeons Mr. Yardley won the point cup, but was pretty 

 well run by Mr. Holioway; and the birds were better than we 

 recollect to have seen them, and the entries very good.

 purpose. No less than six five-guinea cups were offered by the 

 local gentry or the Society for the best birds in the various 

 classes ; as, however, the area of the Society is confined to the
