This exhibition, held at Philadelphia, Dec. 30th to Jan. 4th, was a most successful one. both financially and otherwise. Although got up with but little time for preparation, the collection of fowls was one that any society, even of a number of years' standing, might be proud of.

Comparisons are invidious, yet, comparisons aside, Pennsylvania certainly excels in some varieties. We have never seen finer specimens of Brahmas and Hamburgs than were here exhibited. The former especially stood in the front rank; and had we a "Frederic William" in the poultry kingdom, he certainly could not have much trouble here in filling up his ranks with the desired height. We notice the names of Messrs. Tees, Todd, and Brown among the successful competitors in this class. The Silver Spangled Hamburgs exhibited by Mr. Armstrong deserve special notice, and were justly awarded the first premium. Mr. Bosler was also a successful competitor. In Golden Spangled Hamburgs, old birds, Mr. Fable carried off the palm, but was followed very closely by Mr. Armstrong with a coop of this season's chickens. The Cochins were fair, but not of noticeable merit. In Grey Dorkings, Mr. Herstine excelled, exhibiting a very handsome trio. Black Spanish were there in goodly numbers and quality, Messrs. Heuston and Upperman carrying off the first prizes for old and young birds, respectively. Mr. Duncan exhibited a very fine coop of Bolton Greys - Mr. Herdegen, White Crested Black. Polish - and Mr. Schlem, Silver Spangled Polish, all of which were awarded premiums.

In Games, the competition was not severe; only about half a dozen coops were shown, but they made up in quality what they lacked in quantity - Mi. Armstrong in "Earl Derbys" (Black Breasted Reds), Mr. Ashford in Seftons and Irish Greys, and Mr. Gibbs in other kinds, carrying off the honors.

Mr. Tees seemed to enjoy the honor of showing the smallest as well as the largest specimens there, his Black Bantams leading the liliputians - Mr. Herdegen's Game and Sebright and Messrs. Pavonarius Japanese Bantams calling for a passing notice.

Mr. Sharpless claims the precedence in Bronze Turkeys with a magnificent pair of 18 months old birds, the cock weighing about 351bs. Some other coops were exhibited, but were not worthy of special notice.

In the French varieties, Crevecoeur, Houdan, and La Fleche, Messrs. Halsted & Co., of this city, were the successful competitors.

Mr. Morris stands first in Bremen Geese, Mr. Jones in Poland Geese, Mr. Sharpless in Rouen Ducks, and Mr. Altemus in Aylesburys; not so much for their several excellences, but for lack of competition, this department being very poorly represented.

In the Pigeon class Mr. Armstrong again takes front rank with his Red and Yellow Tumblers, Mr. Lodge with his Blue Owls, and Mr. Herdegen goes up head with all other varieties, including Carriers, Pouters, Turbits, Barbs, Magpies, etc., etc.

There was a very fine show of canaries, mostly Belgian and German varieties - Mr. Prossholtz in the first, and Mr. Himelback in the last, heading the list.

There were many noticeable specimens not entered for competition, among which was a splendid Maltese cat, weighing 181bs., by Mr. Hankinson; an educated Blue Jay, which imitated the crowing of a Bantam cock, by Mr. Ott; a cage of California Quails, very pretty, by Mr. Coggins; and numerous other things of interest.

The room was a fine one for the exhibition, and showed the fowls to the best possible advantage. The arrangement, though, was very defective, the different varieties being scattered promiscuously about the room, so that comparison in some of the classes was quite difficult. We are pleased to hear that the Society's treasury has been the gainer, and hope that their future exhibitions may be as successful as the present one.
