CUPS AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE CANARY 

 SHOW. 



Allow me, through yonr columns, to inform Canary-fanciers and 

 others interested in the "Crystal Palace Bird Show Cup Fund how the 

 matter is going on. I enclose you a statement showing at a glance 

 what each class has gained, and what is still owing to make np the 

 minimnm sum of £3. It will be noticed with surprise that the Clear 

 Yellow Norwich class is not full; why, I cannot understand, tor the 

 Norwich Canary has admirers and breeders all over the known Canary 

 world, and other varieties, whose classes arc full and nearly so, num- 

 ber among their friends onlv, comparatively speaking, a select tew. 

 Now this is not as it ou?ht to be, and I hope matters will mend before 

 the day of the Show. Not one single Derby name have I oubjH 

 with the exception of Mr. Barnesby (and he is more of a judge than 

 an exhibitor), who gave me a handsome donation towards the general 

 fnnd. What is Derby thinking of? The town where the Canary 

 mania is rampant ; the town which has its own clnb, its own book ot 

 most excellent rules on shows and points in Canaries— a book that is 

 a axtide for the Canary woild at large ; a town that has its own local 

 show, and had its " All England Ornithological Association when 

 Sunderland fanciers were not yet breeched 1 " Upronse ye, then, my 

 merry, merry (Derby) men, for it is (very nearly) our opening day 

 and let yonr subscriptions be as long as the tail of your celebrated 

 ram.-HowAETH Ashton, 1'olcfield Ball, Prestmch, Manchester.

LONG-ENDURING FLIGHTS. 

 Although never a Pigeon-fancier myself, I live in the dis- 

 trict which was formerly the head quaiters of Pigeon-nying, 

 and am tempted to aak for a little space to describe that amuse- 

 ment as practised at Macclesfield, Congleton, Leek, and the
