{From a Correspondent.) 



Pigeons. — Though only two cups wore offered for competition 

 yet 1.51 pens were shown, and in quality the birds greatly sur- 

 passed those shown under the "limitation system" in April. 

 Very few faults could be found in the awards, which do Mr. 

 Staunton the greatest credit, as be had to judge over 350 pens of 

 poultry before he looked at the Pigeons, and this in December 

 may, indeed, be called " cruelty to judges." 



In Pouter cocks a badly-shaped White was first, with a good- 

 coloured Black-pied second. A very fair Blue-pied hen took 

 first and cup, with a nice little Black-pied hen second. Mr. 

 Seale was almost unopposed for his own cnp for young Pouters, 

 and so took first, cup, and second. The cup Carrier cock was a 

 medium bird with uneven eyes, and the only unnoticed bird in 

 the class (pen a'J9) was the pick of the lot. Only four poor 

 Carrier hens were exhibited, and if the .ludge had disqualified 

 all the young (?) Carriers no one could have lilamod the decision. 

 In old Barbs a good pair of Duns were first, Blacks second. 

 Young Yellow Barbs, very sound in colour, beat a neat pair of 

 Blacks. There were nine pairs of Whito and ono jiair of Blue 

 Fantails ; the Whites took first and second and the Blues were 

 highly commended. One of the only two unnoticed puns in this 

 class contained the cup birds of April last, so your correspon- 

 dent's opinion of them then was now practically endorsed by 

 Mr. Staunton himself. The winning .Jacobins were Rods, and, 

 though large, were good in all points; an unnoticed pen of
