half the excellencies of the exhibit.; but a few
remarks on the various sections will give an idea of
what was to be seen.

POULTRY.

Dorking.: These classes were very good, the silver
grey. especially, taouctilewUteri:gairn. Bry mto see Merrls.
cup was won by a very handsome pale of birds, good
in foot and colour, and Lord Alington's cup for the
best pen of local fowls was won by souse very fair blad•
in this clam
Brahma,: Both classes were
_good ; but why pen 48,
belonging to the Rev. H. F. Hamilton, was left out
by the judges, some fanciers were at • lois to under-
stand. The cup fell to a pair of very finely pencilled
birds, the hen of which was slightly tinged with
brown on the wing.
Cochins were grand classes, the winners rich la
colour.

Spanish were but moderate, only the winners being
"In it," sooording to fanciers' minds; but the cup
birds were simply magnifioent, and this prize seems to
be a standing one for Mr. Le Sueur, who deserves it.

Game, very fair class. A pair of very smart birds,
grand in colour, won the cup.
Hambarghs, of which there were five classes, made
a very large section, and taken as a whole, they were
a very fair display, some of the birds being exoeedb3gly
meritorious, Messrs. Duckworth's gold-spangled cop-
y' snare were nest and finetcoloured.
Poland., although they not win a sectional cup,
were very good Indeed,and pen 226 contained a
wonderfully good hen.
The French fowls, with Isighorns, Minorces, ttc.,
were vary fair.
Bantam,: Bight good these favourite little birds
were, and Mr. T. W. Anna's black-brested red, which
carried off the cup, were yen smart birds, the hen
especially good and neat.
In the selling cheese were some rare bargains, and
not a single "boiler."
•Langshewr : Although out of the or of the cup-
and-plste list, we fic,hh the notion of fowls by
remarldng this new clam seemed thin of feather: It
I, still difficult to get some fanciers to believe in them.
