President Williams did not enter his Asiatics for competi- 

 tion (this year), but for exhibition only. 



Two trios of Aylesbury ducks, imported by General C. A. 

 Johnson, of Newburyport, Mass., arrived from England too 

 late to compete for premiums, but were placed on exhibition. 



A special committee appointed to inspect the ducks, re- 

 ported that they were the best specimens they had ever had 

 the pleasure of seeing. 



CENTRAL NEW YORK POULTRY ASSOCIATION. 

 AWARD OF PREMIUMS. 



The Show has been a gratifying success as regards excel- 

 lence, and it is to be hoped the Association will not lose 

 financially by their initial venture. They have at least 

 created capital for great custom at their succeeding fairs by 

 the excellent manner in which they have conducted this 

 one. The officers have labored indefatigably throughout 

 the fair to make it the success it is, and they are deserving 

 of great praise. A notable feature is the comparative 

 dearth of complaint regarding the awards. The officers 

 have all been obliging and efficient, and shown unmistak- 

 ably that they know how to run a poultry show. 



Special attractions at the fair were a fine display of live 

 fish, exhibited by Seth Green, Superintendent of State Fish- 

 eries; a minkery, exhibited by A. Ressegue, of Verona; 

 and an incubator for hatching eggs by artificial heat, ex- 

 hibited bj' J. Graves, of Boston. 



The attendance at the fair has been large, but would 

 doubtless have been greater had the weather been more 

 favorable. The great day was Friday, when the attend- 

 ance was very large indeed. The unwinding of time will 



bring with it another fair in due season, and we hope a 

 highly profitable one financially as well as otherwise. The 

 Association is determined to keep up the poultry show busi- 

 ness, and have appointed Messrs. Warner, of New York 

 Mills; Merry, of llion; and Hewlett, of Syracuse, a com- 

 mittee of three to visit the Western New York Poultry 

 Fair, at Buffalo, and make observations for future .benefit at 

 Utica fairs.
