As is seen, the entries of pure-hred fowls do not make much increase, 
nor yet either class of ducklings ; but it is satisfactory to note that cross- 
breds have each year shown a steady improvement, and the introduction of 
these classes is thus justified, for, be it noted, these are only for first crosses 
between two pure breeds. 
In these classes at all the previous Shows where they have been provided, 
only those birds were killed which the Judge selected for that piu-pose, but 
this year it was made a condition that all should be slaughtered. Many 
birds proved better thfin were expected, and taking the Show as a whole the 
display was very good indeed, though some exhibits were a little too old 
and were full of pin feathers. This was specially noticeable in the duck 
classes. 
The work of killing and dressing was expeditiously and well performed 
by Mr. Thos. Newby of Leeds. 
The following are our notes on the respective classes, together with 
weights, alive and dead. It should be mentioned that each bird was 
weighed separately, both before and after killing, but the lower limbs were 
not removed as at Doncaster: —
