" Greeiiies." Such size, wing markings, and colour, 

 colour, colour. I did not think the first, 1484, Maxwell, 

 was the best in the class. 1502, Livingstone, 2nd, was 

 more than equal. Others well placed. A. grand all 

 round class. 1509, Dawson, might have had a card. 



Class 107. Yellow Buntiiigs — only eleven. Mem- 

 bers ist, 2nd, and 3rd, all good ones. I quite env}^ 

 the owner of the winner, 1520, Llo3'd James, for he 

 will always want stopping if in condition, but colour, 

 colour again. Others all good fine birds, and all 

 winners awa}- from each other. 



Classics. A. O. S. of Bunting. (12). ist, 2nd, 

 and 4th, members. An interesting class, but I could 

 not follow the judge. I preferred 1533, Lowne, a 

 Snow Bunting, unnoticed, to 2nd, Lloyd James, Snow 

 Bunting. 



Class 109. Any species of Lark or Pipit, (16). 

 ist went to Mr. Alloway's Palace winner of 1901 ; a 

 fine, upstanding bird that well deserved its position. 

 1544, in the same ownership, and ist at Palace in 1902, 

 had to put up with H.C. One feather in each wing 

 was twisted, and this probably kept him out of the 

 prize-money, as the color and markings are perfect. 

 1550, Lowne, 2nd, a very fine Shorelark, not so bright 

 in color as, but larger than, 1551 (C), same owner. 

 1549, Ride, 3rd, a good Meadow Pipit well placed. 

 1554, Miss Hawkes, 4tb, a remarkably good Skylark, 

 showing colour feeding — could easily win in any other 

 competition. 1550, Groves, V.H.C., a nice Skylark 

 (not Shorelark as catalogued) good size, colour, and 

 markings, but very wild. 1549, Mays, V.H.C., I 

 missed noting. A very good class. 



Class no. Robi7i. (10). ist to 1561, Pringle, a 

 long way first. An exceptionally fine bird, singing 

 strongly, notwithstanding the crowds pressing within 

 a few inches of his casre. This bird is a very strong
