Salisbury and Western Counties. —This took place on 
the 5th and 0th instant. Very great credit is due to the 
Honorary Secretary for the success attending it. The birds 
were exceedingly well attended to, and the rooms of the 
Council Chamber afforded a well-lighted and comfortable 
arena. Mr. Andrews, of Dorchester, was to have been one 
of the Judges, in conjunction with Mr. Hinxman, of Durn- 
ford House, hut being absent, unavoidably, his place was 
supplied by Mr. Higgs, of Southampton. The Silver Cup, 
we suppose, will be given to Mrs. Mills, as the winner of the 
greatest number of first prizes. Spanish fowls were indif¬ 
ferently represented; Coloured Dorkings were better, and 
White Dorkings were most excellent. Mrs. Mills exhibits 
birds in this class which in stoutness are seldom equalled. 
In Shanghaes , or Cochin-Chinas, the Buffs and Browns were 
good and numerous; but there were only three pens of 
White, and the same number of Black. Malays were mode¬ 
rate ; Game but little better ; and all the Hamburgh classes 
were below an average. The Polands were few, but some 
good birds were among them. In the Cross-breeds, the 
chickens of Mr. Fookes fully realize what we have advo 
cated as the result of a union between the Shanghae and 
Dorking—the breasts were largely developed. The Ban¬ 
tams were all indifferent. The Geese most excellent; those 
which took the first prize weighed 21 lbs. each, and those 
to which the second was awarded weighed 19 lbs. Ducks 
of all the classes were good, and the Turkeys were still more- 
superior. In the class for any distinct variety , the White 
Polands of Mrs. Assheton Smith were very superior, and in 
admirable condition. In Class 51, the Crow fowls, we think, 
are only bad black Game fowls, but Miss Bathurst’s Silk 
Fowls were of the best we ever saw.
