9 



p buff and white Shanghais, grey Shanghais, Chiftagongs, Silver Greys^r* 

 y Seabright and Black Bantams, Cochin China, Pheasants, Bolton Greys, 

 Dorkings and water fowls. The Shanghai chickens were of the 

 Harsh, Perley, Forbes, Gillespie and other stocks; there were also 

 some fowls of the Bramah Pootra breed ; blue Turkeys, &c, &c. — 

 There were also several contributions of Pigeons of a very superior 

 quality. 



We regard the whole exhibition as eminently successful, and we 

 think the Society must be, as they undoubtedly are? entirely satisfied 

 with fheir^first effort. The good feeling shown by the different ex- 

 hibitors, was not the least agreeable part of the whole, and will 

 materially contribute to the future prosperity of the society. Some 

 were of course dissatisfied with all the decisions o-f the committees; 

 but this only proved the high quality of the fowls, and the interest 

 which the different exhibitors feel in the influence of such displays. 

 Fowls were sold on the ground at from $5 per pair, up to $50 for a 

 cock and two hens ; and indeed, many who went to- the show as mere 

 lookers on in Vienna, returned home the owner of a beautiful pair of 

 lowls, and their pocket books minus twenty-five or thirty dollars.
