invidious task. But I beiieve the majority of exhibitors 

 do not view them with favour. I would suggest that 

 when we give more than one prize at a Show, our 

 specials should be divided, some being given for points 

 and some for the best bird, but that in the case of point 

 prizes not more than a limited number of entries in each 

 ■class should count for points, and that most of our 

 prizes should continue to be given on the old system. 

 I offer this suggestion, for what it is worth, for the 

 •consideration of both ])arties to the controversy, neither 

 •of whom is likelv to convert the other.
