There was also a fine lot of Turtle Doves on the ground, 

 from J. W. Kimball, of Lawrence, but as they were not regu- 

 larly entered, the committee were prevented from awarding 

 any gratuity. 



Some of the fowls were not shown to advantage, on account 

 of their limited accommodations, being in coops better adapted 

 for transportation than exhibition, and the committee would 

 recommend to the Trustees to provide proper coops for future 

 exhibitions, at the expense of the Society.
