were a remarkably uniform lot. many
fine specimens being shown. Nearly
all of them were up to weight and
some considerably over weight. Not a
poor bird was shown in the whole
lot, and many of the winners would
stand well in any company. There was
almost an entire absence of brass in
all of them, and the barring was gen.
orally very distinct and even. Fifty
nine in the lot.
