of Bantams. I would ask all breeders who have to compete m 

 the Any other variety class as it is at present, to give their 

 opinion on the subject, and to bring the matter faii-ly before 

 the committees with which they may come in contact. I hope 

 some of our leading exhibitors in this class will take the 

 matter up. — F.tiR Play.

BATHGATE OENITHOLOGICAL SHOW. 



The Bathgate Ornithological Association held their fourth 

 annual Exhibition and competition of poultry, Pigeons and 

 Canaries, on the loth inst., in the Corn Exchange and the 

 weather being aU that could be desired, a great number of the 

 pubUc visited the Show. 



The different classes were well represented, and never smee 

 the Show was estabUshed have we seen such a collectaon ot 

 really good birds. Dorkings in both the adult and young classes, 

 though not numerous, were very good, the first-pnze birds m 

 both classes having secured similar honours in nearly aU tlie 

 shows they have visited. The adult Spanish were a poor class, 

 but of the voungthe first-prize pen was very fine, and never 

 have we seen such fine faces and combs at Bathgate. This pen 

 also secured the special prize for the best pen in the first three 

 classes, ffamburghs were the largest class ; many of the birds 

 would not have disgraced a metropoUtan show. The hrst-prize 

 Golden and Silver-pencilled Hamburghs were really fine birds. 

 The Golden-pencilled secured the special prize, but a good many 

 thought it should have gone to the Silvers, as they were 

 better matched than the Goldens. Game were not a numerous 

 class, and aU the birds appeared rather soft, excepting tne 

 Duckwings shown by the now famous Mr. Harley, Edinburgn, 

 which also rightly se'cured the special prize mthe Game depart- 

 ment. Game Bantams, though numerous, were not so good as 

 those shown here last year, many of them not bemg m a fit con- 

 dition for competing. , 



Pigeons were w-eU represented in nearly aU the classes ; tne 

 first-prize Tumblers and Carriers were remarkably fine. Una 

 great feature was an absence of dressing in the Toy classes. 



The Canaries consisted of the finest birds m Scothiud. Most 

 of them had secured similar honours at the different open shows 

 they had visited.
