NORTHUMBERLAND ORNITHOLOGICAL 

 SOCIETY'S SHOW. 



Tms Exhibition, held on the 18th, I'.Hh, and 21)th of November, was 

 very succcBsfu), there bfUiR upwards of 550 pens of Piteous, also 

 Cannries and other birds. The Committee offered £;K) in prizes. The 

 Com Kxchange, in which the Show was held, proved a moat admirable 

 building for a display of the kind, and, large as the number of entries 

 was, no inconvenience was experienced in the arrangement. The at- 

 tendance of visitors was good. 



Among the Pigeons were many excellent birds ; and the Canaries 

 were very superior in quality. Mr. Bailey, of Sowcrby, near Thirsk, 

 and Mr. Frost, of Newcastle, exhibited some foreign birds which 

 proved a {:?reat attraction. 



Fanciers of both Canarie? and Pigeons were not slow in showing 

 their appreciation of the different classes as very many birds were 

 claimed.
