respectable applicant. This Show is remarkable for the excellence of 

 tverv pen exhibited, each member bein<* himself conversant with the 

 pai tii ularities of those breeds to which fancy may have led him. 



The ycnmg t f arru rs were of great beanty and promise, as were also 

 the Barbs, Dragoons, ana Anttoerpe. We are informed excellent 

 wood engravings of the winning birds among the latter two varieties 

 will be published as a standard of character for general adoption, 

 and as these specimens were well-developed, the lovers of Pigeons will 

 be much interested in the publicity thus given them. In the Extra 

 class, a new variety of Satinette of extraordinary beauty well 

 deserves a short description. The body was entirely white, the 

 shoulders, as far as the bars on the wines, were an exceedingly clear 

 light blue, the bars themselves being distinct and well-defined red, 

 whit.:, and blue. They possess short bills, mnffed legs, and the flights 

 are perfectly white. Each of the feathers of the tail, in themselves 

 black, possessed the splendid white spot, about the size a shilling at 

 the tip, that makes the Satinette so great a favourite.

MIDDLESBROUGH CANAEY SHOW. 



(From a Correspondent.) 



The ninth annual Show took place on December 31st, 1869, and 

 January 1st, 1870. There were 12'2 entries, and the birds as a whole 

 were good. For Yellow Belgians, Mr. Rickaby took the first prize with 

 a very good bird ; in Buff Belgians, Mr. Hayes was first with a bird 

 of extraordinary merit, Mr. B. Robinson was second with a good bird, 

 while Mr. W. "Bulmer was third with his Buff hen. Clear Jonqne 

 Norwich were not first-class; but in Clear Buff Norwich, Mr. "W. 

 Holmes was first with a splenilid specimen. In the Evenly-marked 

 Jonque Norwich, Mr. J. Besson and Messrs. Moore & Wynne showed 

 two splendid birds. Among Evenly-marked Buff Norwich, Messrs. 

 Moore & Wynne took the first prize with a bird of the highest standard. 

 Ticked and Unevenly-marked were not so good as might be looked for 

 in this class. For a Crested Canary of any breed or colour, Messrs. 

 Moore & Wynne were first with their splendid Variegated, and Mr. G. 

 Taylor second with a splendid clear Crested hen. 



Lizards were a very good class, there not being a single i;ad bird. 



In the class for Jonqne Cinnamons Mr. J. Besson was first with a 

 splendid bird, and Mr. J. Smart second with a good bird. Of Buff 

 Cinnamons there were only three entries, and the first priz 

 held ; Mr. J. Bexson receiving the second, and Messrs. Moore & Wynne 

 the third, for very good birds. Of Clear Yellow and Bnff Yorkshire 

 there were some really noble birds, and the Evenly-marked were really 

 excellent. For Clear Green Mr. J. Smart was first with the very best 

 Green I ever saw. 



In the class for Evenly-marked Goldfinch Mnles, Messrs. Moore 

 and Wynne were first with a very inferior Jonque, while Mr. J. Robson 

 was second with a splendid Jonque. 



Of Ticked and Unevenly-marked Goldfinch Mules there was not a 

 really good specimen, but 'in Dark Goldfinch Mules, Moore & Wynne 

 were* first with their extraordinary bird. Messrs. Stevens & Burton 

 were second with a splendid specimen, and Mr. J. Robson third with 

 a really good sp3cimen. Linnet Mules were not up to the standard. In 

 the class for Goldfinches Mr. Caswell was first with a bird that will 

 not be easily defeated. Linnets were good. In the class for any other 

 variety of British birds, Mr. J. Hill exhibited one of the best Larks 

 that could be seen. The following is the prize list : —
