already stated, extensive, and embraced specimens of most
of the favourite breeds. Among them were beautiful re-
presentatives of the Dorking ; black, and silver Spanish ;
Bolton grays ; Bantams of much beauty of symmetry and
plumage; and Cochin. Chinas were also in great force,
and of various degrees of excellence. There was likewise
a choice collection of geese and ducks, of different kinds.

specimens were forwarded by 135 exhibitors. The stock

87 were horses, 57 were sheep, and 50 were pigs. Of the
latter class of animals there were some admirable speci-

were generally good and received deserved commendation.
