 Baldhiiids, Xlottlcs, Ac. Mr. Esquilimt's Yellow Tumblers were macb

We regret that this Exhibition, which has always been so largely 

 contributed to by a splendid collection of I'owters, "should on this oc- 

 casion haye been entirely without that much-admired yuriety. On the 

 whole, however, both numbers and yitutors mast have felt much pleased 

 with the day's proceedingfi. 



PAISLEY ORNITHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION 

 SHOW. 



This annnal Exliibition took place on the 1st inst. in the new Volun- 

 teer Drill Hall. Every year the collection of birds seems better than 

 in the previous one, but on this occasion it greatly excelled in cjnidity 

 and yariety any Show which the Association has" held. Upwards of 

 1200 birds were exhibited, and an nnnsnally larfje number of sales 

 were effected. The accommodation in the' new hall was also ex- 

 cellently suited for the Show, and though the weather was disagree- 

 oble, the visitors poured into the Exhibition from the opening till the 

 close.
