THE PHILOPERISTERON SOCIETY' S SHOW. 



The annual Exhibition of Pigeons held in the great hall of the 

 Freemason's Tavern, Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn, on the 

 loth Lnst., was, as usual, very interesting, and attracted large numbers 

 of Pigeou-fanciers. Carriers were numerously represented by collec- 

 tions of great excellence from Messrs. Date, Square, Else, and 

 Everett ; and the Duns, Blacks, and Whites from Messrs. Crossley, 

 Hedley, and Carroll were much admired, as were the beautiful Tum- 

 blers exhibited by Mr. Esqnilant. A collection of thirty Powters, 

 shown by Mr. Voickman. constituted of themselves a great attraction. 

 The Almonds from Mr. Lucy and Mr. Merck, and the Fantails, Jaco- 

 bins, Turbits, Magpies, Helmets, and Nnus from Mr. "Wicking were of 

 great excellence, and so were the specimens of Almond Baldheads 

 contributed by Mr. Morris. Of Barbs some beautiful Blacks, Keds, 

 and Yellows were exhibited by Mr. Hedley : and Dragons of high 

 excellence were contributed by Mr. Jones Percival and Mr. Crossley, 

 the latter exhibiting the pair of Blue Dragons which took the first 

 prize at Birmingham. Fine specimens of the above and other varieties 

 were contributed by Mr. Thackray, Mr. Betty, and others. 



A DAY IN THE RIFLE DRILL HALL. BRISTOL. 



WiiEN I drew up my blind on 'Wednesd.'iy morning, January 

 2nd, and saw how the earth was covered with snow, and the 

 atmosphere was filled with it, and how the light had to struggle 

 through clouds as full of snow as a filled sponge with water, I 

 said to myself, " I am very sorry for my Bristol friends, for I 

 fear their Show will be ruined." All Wednesday the weather 

 was bad, traffic was impeded, and none stirred abroad, unless 

 they were driven from home and shelter by dire necessity, save 

 a few snowball-Ioying boys, and they, too, were obeying the 

 law of necessity, for youth and health tingling to the fingers' 

 tips prompt mirth and mischief. 



Thursday morning, however, broke fine and clear, no more 

 snow had fallen, and a frost on snow makes it dry and crisp, 

 altogether a different and less-dreaded material to snow in its 

 new-fallen, light, wet, and boot-soaking condition. This cheered 

 me, for I saw more hope of people getting out to a poultry 

 show. Forth I went, enlivened by the air and the bright day. 



As I travelled on I could but notice the transforming power 

 of snow, how it so masks Nature that one loses oneself even 

 in tolerably well-known roads. The seasons, indeed, alter a 

 scene, but snow makes it altogether a new scene — it thoroughly 

 disguises the face of dame Nature ; earth white and all alik«, 

 trees standing up black and frowning. Bristol, not too clean, 

 but still a most interesting city, reached at last, and its narrow 

 streets threaded, its docks passed, and draw-bridge crossed.
