 among which were some good birds. There were also two 

 pens of Dorkings in the " Any other class," making in all 

 fifteen pens of Dorking fowls. Game came next. There were

 burghs were divided into Golden and Silver, and had one 

 entry in each class ; the pen of Golden, consisting of a, 

 Black-breasted Spangled cock, and two badly marked 

 Golden-pencilled hens, while the Silvers were represented by 

 a tolerable pen of Spangled birds. Bantams had two classes, 

 old and young ; two prizes^ in each class, and two entries in
