LORD TEEDEGAE'S POTTLTEY SHOTV. 

 Decejebek 13th. 

 Among the birds were contributions from almost all parts 

 of the kingdom, and the prize list will show that the com- 

 petitors included the first poultry fanciers of the day. Many 

 of the pens were really beautiful and merited the admiration 

 they received. As usual the shed was crammed during the 

 whole time it was open. As Mr. Logan took the champion 

 prize for cattle, it is gratifying to find that in the poultry 

 also, the prize given to the exhibitor who obtains the greatest 

 number of prizes, has, notwithstanding the close compe- 

 tition, been retained in our own neighbourhood, it having 

 fallen to the lot of our townsman, Mr. R. H. Nicholas, whom 

 we have pleasure in congratulating upon his success. There 

 was very nearly a tie between Mr. Nicholas and Mr. Fowler, 

 the celebrated Duck breeder of Aylesbury — the former 

 gentleman having sixty-four points, and the latter fifty-nine, 

 the prize being reckoned by points, of which five are counted 

 for a first prize, and so in proportion, a point less for each 

 next inferior prize. 



The following prizes were awarded : —

 the Exhibitor taking the greatest number of Prizes, R. H.Nicholas, Malpas,
