The Show we have now to deal with never attracts 

 a very heavy entr}^ of foreigners, for the classification 

 is by no means liberal. This year there were io6 entries, 

 which is 13 more than last year, and, we believe, a 

 record entry for this Show. The classification was not 

 satisfactor}', and seemed to be the Club classification 

 for nine classes — slightly altered, and spoilt in the 

 process. The Show was held in a tent in the nave, 

 and the light and temperature were both satisfactory. 

 Mr. Swaysland was the Judge. 



Class 63. Budgerigars and all species of Love- 

 birds. Ten entries, two absent. First, Mr. Storey's 

 celebrated Peach-faced Love-birds. Second, Alessrs. 

 Driver and Hunt's pair of Yellow Budgerigars.

 Mrs. Cooper's Love-birds. V.H.C., H. B. Smith. H.C., 

 Hopkinson. C, Howe. 



Class 64. All species of Parrakeets, Lorikeets and 

 Lories. Seventeen entries, three of which we could

 in health and condition. Second, Mr. Frostick's, 

 fine Crimson-wing. Third, Miss Little's Alexandrine.
