Considering the drawbacks under which they labour, the 

 Committee succeeded in drawing together the comparatively 

 large number of nearly two hundred pens ; and though, as 

 might be expected from the secluded character of the 

 locality, there were several pens showing defects in the 

 matching of combs and legs, yet the great bulk of the birds 

 proved by their appearance and condition that the lessons 

 of former years have not been lost upon their owners, and 

 that very great pains have been taken in most instances to 

 win prizes by intrinsic merit alone. Capt. Davey, an exten- 

 sive ship-owner residing at Bude, kindly undertook the 

 charge and care of all specimens from a distance, and we 

 are bound to state that the greatest care and attention was 

 bestowed upon the birds while in the pens as to feeding, 

 water, &c, and we have no doubt that the owners received 

 them back from the Show in as good condition a3 when they 

 sent them off.
