PIGEONS. 



The collection of Pigeons, altliougli not numerous, was 

 exceedinglv choice. In Fowters Mr. Eden had a very easy- 

 victory with his fine Whites and Blues. Carriers were ex- 

 ceDent, Messrs. Eden and Else taking all the prizes ; the 

 most noticeable being the Duns aud wonderful Black cock 

 of the former, and Mr. Else's remarkably line Black Hen. In 

 Dragoons good Blues were fu-st and Yellows second. In 

 Jacobins Mr. Esquilaut was first with a very small fine pair 

 of Eeds ; and Mr. Lawrence's excellent Yellows were second, 

 reversino- the late Bii-miugham decisions. In Witiis the 

 Black-headed variety took the prize. In Barbs Mr. Eden 

 was first with a promising pair of young Blacks, and also 

 received high commendations for a like pair. Mr. Sanday 

 took second with Blacks also, one of which was so much 

 ail'ecte i in the head as to be out of place in an exhibitiou-pen, 

 and unlikely to reach home alive. In Turhits Mr. Shaw had 

 first with a good pair of Eeds in splendid condition ; Blues 

 taking second. Owls formed one of the best classes in this 

 department, good "Whites taking both prizes. In Trum- 

 jteters Mr. Gates struggles manfully with his capital Whites, 

 always well shown, but has to succumb to Mr. Shaw's mag- 

 nificent Black Mottles whenever they put in an appearance. 

 As on many previous occasions the above-named again 

 occupied the respective positions of first and second ; and 

 Mr. Shaw has reason to be proud of his reaUy wonderful 

 pair. In Fantails it seems to be the humour- of the " ruliiig 

 powers" to prefer Crested birds. A short time ago this 

 variety merely received " high commendation as IndiaJis." 

 The present instance was no exception to late decisions. 

 No doubt they were excellent in tail, but the smaJlness, 

 extraordinary grace, and symmetry of some of the Smooth- 

 headed kind is wanting. In Almond Tumblers the late Bir- 

 mingham decisions were reversed, Mr. Eden having both 

 prizes, while Mr. Else's ■/, ere very highly commended. The 

 second-prize pen were rather unevenly matched, though 

 good in other respects. Balds were good. Mi-. EsquUant 

 having both jirizes witli Blues. In Beards Messrs. Fielding 

 and E'squUant divided the prizes with fine Blues. Any other 

 Variety Tumblers was a good class, both prizes being awarded 

 to ill-. Lden's very fine Black Mottles. In ^liiy other new 

 or distinct breed, Mr. Yardley added another to his Ust of 

 prizes with his well-known Satinettes ; a beautiful pair of 

 Isabels taking second, and Hyacinths were commended. A 

 pair of Black -taOed Owls were again tried in this class, and 

 were passed over unnoticed. It would seem that the Ai-bi- 

 trator coincides with our remarks on the Birmingham Show 

 —that the birds in question are improperly classified.
