latter were not well shown. There was also another 

 King, a Blue Mountain, and a Malabar Parrakeet. 

 Altogether a very fine class and one of which I thought 

 very highly. 



Class 142. \() Entries. Grey Parrots and all species 

 of Amazons, ist, and Special 205, Mrs. Hector's well 

 known pair of Greys: splendid condition as usual, 

 and deserved to win. 2nd, and Special 211, Mr. A. 

 Jones, fine Grey, stated to be a hen. 3rd, Mr. 

 Osbaldeston, very nice Green - cheeked Amazon : 

 might have had second prize. 4th, Mr. Osbaldeston, 

 a Yellow-naped Amazon — another good bird and in 

 fine condition. V. H.C., Mrs, Cooper, Blue-fronted 

 Amazon. H.C., Mrs. Howes, another Blue-fronted. 

 Mrs. Stacy-Marks, yet another of the same species. 

 There were three other Amazons in the class, and it 

 ma\-be interesting to notice that the two Greys took 

 the highest awards. 



Class 143. 7 Entries. All species of Short-tailed 

 Parrots 7iot comprised i?t the above, Cockatoos, Macaws, 

 a7id Lories, ist, and Specials 193 and 210, Dr. Lister's 

 Black Cockatoo. Unique exhibit, but not in the best 

 condition. 2nd, Mr. Osbaldeston, Blue and Buff Macaw 

 — splendid bird in beautiful colour and looking well. 

 3rd, Miss Collier, Senegal, a nice bird certainly, but 

 I should have put it behind 4th, Mrs. Cooper's fine 

 Macaw, which was in tighter feather than second 

 Macaw, but not so bright in colour. V.H.C., Mr. 

 0.sbaldeston, Eclectus. An Illiger's Macaw and a 

 Cockatoo were cardless — owing to poor condition, no 

 doubt. 



THE DOVE CLASS.
