PIGEONS. 



Alnmnds were very j^ood, and, if we mistako not. wdre the Bristol 

 prixe bird^. L\trrit:r cocks (Bhick), were a very stronc; class, iu which 

 there were many vfiry f^ood birds. Dnn Corner cocks wero also a good 

 class. Bhirk and Unu Carrier hens were the best as a whole I have 

 seen, though the tirst-prize Black hen, has seen better days, and is 

 c\'idt'ntly showing signs of old age. Carriers of any other colour cou- 

 fcained some Rood Blues and Silvers, especially the hens. 



Poutff cocks, Kod or Blue, were also very well represented, the first- 

 prize bird bcin;; a very Iar<;e and Icni^hy bird, but %vithout the Rrace 

 and symmetry of tho sccoud-prizobird of Mr. VoIckmaQ's. For Pouter 

 cock of any other colour the first prize went to a verj' lengthy and 

 good Whitii bird of Mr. Bulpiu's, and the second priy.e to a ^ood Black 

 l>elon<^n;^ to Mr. Uoyds. Iu Pouters, Red or Blue (hens), Mr. nomer 

 won with a very showy Bine heu, closely jiressed by Mr. Stewart. 

 Poutor hens of any other colour were a verj superior class ; Mr. Fulton 

 being first with a very qaod "White, Mr. Royds ajjaiu bein^' second with 

 a very c;ood Blacli. The whole of the Pouters were above tho arera^e. 



For liaUis Mr. Royds was first with a very j;ood pair of Blacks, and 

 second with Yellow. Beards, Mr. Oates was first with very pretty 

 birds, and Mr. Royds second. 



Iu Mottled 7\imh!t'r.i the prizes went to vei-j' good Blacks, and the 

 first prize for nny other colour to very good self-coloured Yellows, Reds 

 being second. Both lots were very neat. 



Jtunts were not so good as last year, and we question if ever last 

 year's weight will be attained. 



Yellow Jarvhins were not so good as nsual, but in the class for any 

 other colour there were some very good and well-trimmed birds. 



White Fantiiih were well represented as regards tail, but not so 

 snake-like in the head as wc should like to see mauy of them. The 

 first prize for Any other colour went to a very good pair of Blues. 



Among Mottled TnimprtTS yiere some very good birds, Mr. Shaw 

 having to be content with third honours after for several years taking 

 first. The class for Trumpeters of any other colour also contained 

 very good birds, superior to the Mottled in hoods and rose, many of 

 them. 



Foreign (hah were a very good but not large class, containing many 

 previous prize winner-^. English Owls, a new class, contained some 

 very good birds, especially the prize Blues, and the second prize, very 

 delicate powder Blue. 



The first prize for Xi/n.'i went to a very good pair of Blacks, and the 

 second prize to a good pair of Yellows. 



In the class for Turhts, Red or Yellow, Mr. Shaw was first with a 

 ]mir of very good bright Reds, For Turbits of any other colour. Mr. 

 Bulpin was first with Blues, Mr. Yardley being second and Mr. Shaw 

 third with Silvers. 



Black Barbs were the best class we have ever seen at Birmingham, 

 though not quite so numerous as at Bristol, many of the birds there 

 fighting the battle over again, the prize going to Capt. Heaton of 

 Cochin notoriety, for a very good pair, though wo thought the cock a 

 littte coarse. The class for Any other colour introduced us to Mr. 

 Thackray'ft Y'ellows, looking rather jaded. The second prize went 

 to Mr. Wiltshire's Yellows, though the Rev. W. .T. Mellor pressed 

 closely on his heels with a very superior Red cock, but the hen did not 

 match him in colonr. 



DiUKjnons were a vt-n,- superior lot, Mr. Crossley winning in Blues, 

 thougb we liked Mr. Jones Percivall's quite as well, the former heing 

 a trifle coarse. In Yellows Mr. Ludiow was first, and Mr. Esquilant 

 second, with good birds. In Any other colour Mr. Percivall was first 

 with a very good pair of Silvers, Mr. \''ardley being second. 



Among Mngpics were many vory good birds. 



In Antwerps were many strong and good birds, but not well matched. 



Ardinufjeh we liked very well, and thought the second equal to the 

 first -prize. 



SwaHoitvi were also a very good class, containing many very beauti- 

 ful birds of that very pretty variety. The Any other variety class was a 

 show of itself, and the Judges, we doubt not, could have easily distri- 

 buted double the number of prizes. 



This was the largest Show ever held at Birmin<;ham, and it is no 

 wonder that the Jad-^es called in the assistance uf Mr. Hedley, who 

 generously consented to withdraw his very exeolleut Carriers and 

 Barbs from competition.

CHIPPENHAM POULTRY SHOAV. 

 Tny little town of Chippenham manages still to keep up its Poultry 

 Exhibition, as an .adjunct to the Agricultnral Show, indeed in 1865 

 and lSt>l>, altliough. it was forced to give np the latter portion, it still 

 retained the poultry. This year, the poultiy. althonph more numerous 

 than on any other occasion, was obliged, by the addition of the cattle, 

 to retreat in some degree into the inner room, where the light is far 

 from good. The pens were ranged tier over tier, so that both seeing 

 and judging were no easy tasks. Aitogether about 140 pens were 

 entered, and this is about the outside numberthat can be accommodated.
