OTAGO AGRICULTURAL AND PASTORAL EXHIBITION.
l o the Juiilor. Fin, —I have to take exception to your remarks in the .S 'tar this morning, as regards poultry. You state “the exhibits ‘were very inferior; indeed there was scarcely a pure-bred bird entered,” I do not know whether your reporter has had more experience among poultry than myself; but 1 am of opinion that the following exhibits, all of ■which took first prizes, were all purebred, viz, Black game, exhibited by Mr Larnach; black Spanish, exhibited by Mrs Mitchell ; Brahma Footra, Dorking, and white Cochins, exhibited by myself. Some of my exhinits of Dorking and Brahmas were imported by me, and are from the best and most fashionable bio id in England. The same stock are prize-takers at nearly all the shows in the old country; and one of the hens had taken as a pullet three prizes bei fore she was shipped to me per Charlotte Glad-tone. It is certainly a pity that the Association did not hold out more inducement to exhibitors to ensure competition—medals of the money value of the prizes would have been more acceptable.—l am, &c., Sydney James. Dunedin, Dec. 27.
