TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL BRITISH 

 BIRD AND MULE CLUB. 



IMPORTANT. 



Asa result of our arduous meetings you will notice below 

 the extended classification in the Hybrid and British Bird 

 Sections at the forthcoming great Amalgamated Show at the 

 Crystal Palace in December next. 



I need hardly point out to yon the importance of this 

 event in the history of th-e National British Bird and Mule 

 Club of such a great Show and its undertakings, but also to 

 the splendid classification in all the sections under our super- 

 vision. If ni}' memory serves me well, it is the biggest 

 classification ever given, and perhaps ever likely to be given at 

 any one Show or any individual Club or Society. As you 

 will notice, we have no less than 13 classes for Hybrids and 27 

 Classes for British Birds, surely a huge programme. Although 

 the call for a small guarantee fund has not been responded to 

 ■with an}' success whatever outside your Committee, I aui 

 <:onsoling myself upon the encouragement we have given the 

 members to respond beyond our expectations in the matter of 

 ■entries, for it is to our own Club's benefit, to our own Club's
