now too general where collection silver cnps are offered. Time 

 has fully proved that collection cups, though ensuring a few 

 noted first-class entries, have materially limited those of the 

 general exhibitors, whose stock of Pigeons, perhaps, only em- 

 braces half-a-dozen breeds. We regret to state that in this 

 division of the Show the most barefaced cases of trim min g were 

 found, and that, too, in considerable numbers ; but, aided by a 

 good light and suificient time for judging, most, if not all, were 

 properly exposed. 



There was also a good and large collection of Rabbits ; capital 

 Lop-eared, Angora, and Himalayan being especially noteworthy. 



Mr. E . Hewitt and Mr. Tegetmeier together judged the Game 

 fowls. Game Bantams, and Babbits ; the whole of the other 

 classes of poxrltry being judged by Mr. Hewitt. Mr. Tegetmeier 

 awarded the prizes for Pigeons. We published the prize list 

 last week.

THE BIRMINGHAM PHILOPERISTEEON 

 SOCIETY'S SHO"W. 



This local Show excited great interest among fanciers and 

 breeders of Pigeons, and it was even better supported than any 

 of the exhibitions of former years. At the meetings of this 

 Society, not only are birds exhibited from the lofts of most of 

 our w"eU-known"breeders, but also by private indi-riduals, who 

 rarely, if ever, risk the safety of their favourites at ordinary 

 exhibitions. The Black Carrier classes were imexeeptionably 

 good ; the entry of Duns and Blues, however, though of unusually 

 good quality, were very limited as to nimibers. In the Pouter 

 classes the "WTiite were such as can but rarely be met with ; the 

 Yellows and Reds were scarcely so sound in colour as desirable. 

 The Fantails, Barbs, Almond Tumblers, and Short-faced Tum- 

 blers were as splendid classes as we have seen for some time. 

 The Owls, both Foreign and English, together -svith the Turbits, 

 were generally perfect. It was a matter of regret that in Kuns 

 and Jacobins instances of ti-imming occurred, and in these cases 

 the pens were disqualified by the Judges. This was the niore 

 reprehensible as being practised among members of a Society 

 who hold this annual meeting chiefly as a test of their individual 

 success in breeding first-rate specimens during the past season. 

 As might be fairly anticipated the Antiuerps and_ Dragoons 

 proved of the highest possible character; the condition, too, in 

 which most of these birds were shown was perfection itself. For 

 the first time a Selling class with a limited price of j£2 per pen 

 was instituted, and was so great a success as not only to addTiy 

 commission on sales several pounds to the funds of the Society, 

 but also give the opportunity to intending purchasers of obtain- 

 ing some high class specimens at prices very far below the 

 prohibitory ones usually fixed on Pigeons of equal merit in the 

 present day. Six prizes were here given, and certain it is as 

 many more were deserved, consequently the sales in this portion 

 of the Show were beyond expectation. The gi-eatest attention 

 was paid to the birds dunng the time the Show was open, and 

 in a very brief time after closing all the birds were on their way 

 to their respective owners. The principal cLasses were judged 

 by Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Yardley ; the SeUing class prizes being 

 awarded by Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Child.
