with the first prize boar in Class 259. The Judge remarked 
that “ the entries generally showed some little diversity of 
type, but with few exceptions were of high merit throughout.” 
POULTRY, INCLUDING DUCKS, GEESE, AND TURKEYS. 
The classification followed closely that of 1904, but the value 
of the prizes offered was increased. Instead of first, second, 
and third prizes of 20s., 10s., and 5s., the amounts were 30s., 
15s., and 10s., with 21., 11., and 10s. in the case of geese and 
turkeys. The consequence was a larger number of entries, 
which reached a total of 870, as compared with 603 in 1904, 763 
in 1903, and 964, the record entry at Birmingham, in 1898. 
The following statement shows the distribution of the prizes, 
classes, and entries, between the various descriptions of poultry 
for the three Park Royal Shows of 1903, 1904, and 1905 : —
