The World's Fair Eggs. 



We liave left about one-half the eggs that we 

 exhibited— mentioned in last Oologist as ex- 

 hibited by "F. H. L. & Co."— at the World's 

 Fair. In most cases these were the only eggs 

 of the species ever within the bounds of Jack- 

 son Park and consequently the only ones at the 

 World's Fair. 



If you can use any of these eggs at not less 

 and perhaps at a slight advance over regular 

 rates we would be pleased to have your list of 

 wants at earliest possible date and we will 

 quote y m lowest cash price for the ones we 

 have left. With each set we will give a written 

 guarantee that it was the identical one we ex- 

 hibited at the World's Fair. 



Address all letters referring to the "Exhibit" 

 eggs to Albion, N. Y.
