peculiarities of form, size, and plumage of each specimen ex- 

 hibited could bo distinctly seen, a great improvement in this 

 respect over any previous exhibition here. 



On the right of the central aisle, opposite to the entrance 

 to the hall, the entire table is filled with coops of fine speci- 

 mens of Partridge Cochins ; the table on the left is filled 

 with coops of Plymouth Pocks and Sultans. In the second 

 aisle, to the right, the tables are filled with coops of White, 

 Black, and Buff Cochins, and over twenty varieties of Game 

 Fowls ; at the head of the table, on the right, third aisle, is 

 a large and very fine collection of Asiatic Fowls from Phi- 

 lander Williams, Esq., of Taunton, Mass , and a fine collec- 

 tion of Dominique Guinea Fowls, from William Ballon, 

 North Providence, for exhibition ; several coops of fine 

 ducks, White China, and Hong Kong Geese. On the left 

 hand side of this aisle are the coops of Dominique, Black, 

 Spanish, White and Brown Leghorns. 



The first aisle, on the left from the door, the tables are 

 filled with coops of Light and Dark Brahmas ; the second 

 aisle, on the left from the door, is occupied with coops of 

 White-crested and Silver Polands and Houdans, on the right

 Rumpless, two of Frizzles, one of Partridge Cochin Chickens, 

 and a large collection of Gold and Silver Bantams, from Geo.

 Fowls, from Mrs. Hezekiah Allen, of Cranston, for exhibi-

 tains " are exhibited by Henry T. Root. In the third and 

 last aisle on the left side is quite a large collection of Black, 

 Gold, and Silver Hamburgs, two coops of " Silkies," from 

 Sam. W. Clarke, of Warwick, and five large coops of very 

 large fowls entered for a name, and hanging above the tables 

 are cages of Canary Birds from Henry T. Boot and B. F. 

 Gil more. 



In front of the stage is a table filled with a large collection 

 of fine specimens of stuffed birds and animals, from John 

 Hague, taxidermist, and three bull buffalo heads, killed, 

 stuffed, and mounted by Mr. Newton Dexter, of this city. 

 Dr. J. B. Goodale, of Pawtucket, has on exhibition in front 

 of the stage, his patent " Bhode Island Incubator," with 

 "Mother Attachment," for hatching chickens by artificial 

 heat, in active operation, and close by is that funny fowl 

 called the "What is it?" a cross between a turkey and 

 Guinea fowl, which came from Woonsocket, and is going 

 the rounds of all the poultry shows. 



The stage is occupied with a large " dove-cote " with coops 

 of fancy pigeons, including some very beautiful specimens. 

 There are entries in this exhibition from New York, Con- 

 necticut, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, in addition to 

 the large number from our own State and city. 



The Khode Island Incubator, hatching chickens to order 

 by warm water, a little orphan asylum for motherless 

 chickens, is one of the attractions, and the inventor, Dr. 

 Goodale, of Pawtucket, is present to explain its mode of 

 construction and operation. 



Besides the large collection of living specimens of the 

 feathered tribe, there is a fine exhibition of preserved birds 

 and animals that makes an attractive and interesting addi- 

 tion to the exhibition.
