SCOTTISH ORNITHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. 



The fifth annual Exhibition of Pigeons and Canary birds, 

 under the auspices of this Association, was held on the ISth 

 and 19th inst., at the Eifie Hall, Waterloo Street, corner of 

 Pitt Street, Glasgow. The entries were numerous, there being 

 no fewer than 400 pens of Pigeons, and 211 cages of Canary 

 bu-ds, numbering about 1000 head, and forming one of the 

 finest exhibitions of the kind ever seen in this quarter. In 

 the Pigeon department the competition was very keen, con- 

 sequent upon the large number of excellent bu-ds which were 

 brought forward. The entries for the silver cup consisted of 

 very beautiful bh"ds, which were much admii-ed. In the 

 Powter class the entries were more numerous than on any 

 previous occasion, and the Pigeons were in splendid condi- 

 tion; indeed, the competition in all the classes entered for 

 medals was of a very keen description. The show of Can*ier 

 Pigeons, both old and young, was also good, many birds 

 remarkable for their beauty being exhibited. In the other 

 classes, including Short-faced Tumblers, there was an ex- 

 cellent display. 



The entries of Canary birds were also more numerous 

 than last year ; and amongst the collection were many 

 really pretty bu-ds, whose ibrms were faultless. Amongst 

 the Belgian Fancy were some splendid bu-ds ; and in this 

 class the competition was exceedingly keen. The show of 

 Piebalds and Goldfinch Mules was much admired, the collec- 

 tion containing many beautifully marked bii'ds.
