NORTH OF ENGLAND ORNITHOLOGICAL 

 ASSOCIATION'S SHOW. 



This Exliibiliou of British and Forelgu Cage and SonR Birds was 

 held in the Npw Infirmarj', Snndcrlaud, on December 2(''th, 27th, and 

 liSth. This Show was very snccesKful, and pronounced by Judges the 

 *'be8t" ever seen in England for quality. The subdivision of the 

 Korwich classes was highly approved, and the successful birds were 

 ver}' superior. The stock shown by Mr. Omie and I\Ir. Walter was 

 admirable. Mr. Kuttcr's Belgians were something nmrvellons. Of 

 Mules there was a very large entry, and of very superior quality. The 

 epecimena sent by Mr. Ashton and Mr. Tull'y were remarkably fine. 

 The Show was opened by Earl Vane. 



Mr. Ashton won prizes amounting to £5, and a £5 cup ; Mr. Rutter 

 ■wen the Committee's Cup. 



We cannot too strongly applaud nor too pointedly draw att<>ntion to 

 the Society's attempt to develope the Norwich classes — they have 

 achieved a success ; and the Society deserves, and we hope in future 

 will obtain, more support from Norwich.

HEDGEHOGS AND BLACKBEETLES. 



I CAN confirm, Messrs. Editors, bU that Mr. Frank Buckland 

 observes in Land and Water, as to the little elTect produced by 

 a hedgehog in the destruction of beetles. He tells us very 

 amusingly : — 



•' I have tried hedgehogs to kill beetles ; they don't act. A 

 hedgehog cannot possibly hold above a pint of beetles at a time.
