JOURNAL OF HORTICOLTUEE AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 



[Jaly 3,1873. 



The entries for Pigeons comprised raany of the highest-class 

 birds generally met with; aud in the Pouters, three such good 

 pens of White very rarelymeet to dispute precedence, and these 

 birds being in very gay condition, this class did not lack ad- 

 mirers. Dragoons and Antwerps were strongly represented, and 

 were sent, as to cleanliness aud general condition, in perfect 

 order. Singularly enough, in a variety class for Pigeons, only 

 Blue Runts and Brunettes were entered, both, however, excel- 

 lent of their kind. 



In a Sale class for Pigeons, Black Trumpeters of the foreign 

 type and good Red Barbs proved successful, several pens of very 

 sound-coloured Yellow Dragoons being shown. Considering 

 that Chatteris is not the most accessible district for a show of 

 this character, the Committee have every reason to be gratified 

 ■with its success ; the inhabitants generally having shown their 

 estimation by decorating the town with a profusion of evergreens 

 aud flowers.
