tlip chicken wei'O in the liighest condition possible. As is of 
lute almost invariably the case, the Cuchins did not appear 
as advantageously as in former years ; on the other liand, 
the Spanish, Ilamhuiphs, iJor/cinr/s, Game, of all colours, and 
Polands, were vefy good. The ,'dehrif}ht. Pantams were a 
poor muster for numhers, and though one or two good fowls 
were shown of this variety, the bulk were decidedly very in¬ 
different specimens. The Game were very superior; the 
I Turkeys good; the Ayleshury Ducks were unexceptionable, 
I and the Rouens much better than usual. The greatest 
curiosity of the show was in the “ extra class ” for Piyeons, 
being a pair of birds, called Wonya Wouya, from Airstralia. 
They were very beautiful, in tirst-rate plumage, and ex¬ 
ceedingly large, the markings quite different to anything 
hitherto exhibited. AVe were told they had bred in England, 
and that they and their pair of young ones were the only 
birds of this kind known to be in the United Kingdom.
