DR. EBEN WIGHT'S BLACK SPANISH FOWLS. 



Dr. Eben Wight, of Dedham, Mass., (business, No. 7, Cus- 

 tom House street, Boston,) lias probably done as much to 

 improve our foreign and native fowls, and in importing choice 

 stock, as any other man in Massachusetts. His Black Spanish 

 fowls, as here represented, are the identical pair that was 

 awarded the first premium at the great Poultry Fair in Eng- 

 land, in 1851, which he procured at a very heavy cost; but I 

 will allow the Doctor to tell his own story. Dr. W. took the 

 first premium for the best pair of these fowls, at the Poultry 

 Fair in Boston, Sept. 1852, and Jno. Giles, Esq., took a premium 

 for the best trio of this breed. 



BOSTON, July 20th, 1852. 



T. B. MINEB, ESQ. Dear Sir : Agreeable with your request, I send 

 you by the express of to-day, an electrotype cut of my pair of imported 

 Black Spanish fowls.
