DUMFMES AND MAXWELLTOWN 

 ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S EXHIBITION. 



The seventh annual Exhibition of Canaries, Poultry-. Pigeons, and 

 Parrots, of the above Society was in the Mechanics' Hall. Irish Street, 

 on the 2u(l and Hrd inst. It was one of the finest shows of the kind 

 ever held in the south of Scotland. In the number of entries, 

 superior condition of the birds, their excellent quality, and admirable 

 arrangement of the coops, &c., it exceeded all former competitions. 



Such a display of fowls has never been witnessed in this district. 

 Every bird was in splendid feather, and seemed a pattern of its kind, 

 and the Judges must have had no light task in comparing the points of 

 excellence in each, and making the awards. Of the different descrip- 

 tions of Game fowls there was a large display, and the White and the 

 Black specimens were beautiful birds. For Spaiti.sh fowls Mrs. Smith, 

 Broomhills, stands unsui-passeJ, her fowls having gained the chief pre- 

 miums in both classes. They were reared, we understand, from eggs 

 furnished by Miss Smith. Braes. Dorl-inf/s were numerous, and the 

 competition good ; but there wore few Coi-hin- Chinas. Hambnrf/h.? — 

 Spangled and Pencilled, Golden and Silver, old and young — were well 

 represented, and added greatly to the attractions of the Exhibition. 

 Though the display of Brahma. Footrns was not large, it included 

 some fine birds. Mr. Miller, Bowes, Terregles, showed a pair of weU- 

 feathered Guiuea-fowls. The competition among the Bonfavis was 

 veiy keen, as the uuaiber shown was large, and the quality of the 

 birds in general excellent. A better show of I'igeot}^ we have never 

 seen anywhere, and the varieties must have greatly surprised the gene- 

 rality of visitors, as there were no fewer than fifteen. Besides the 

 more common breeds were Nuns, Trumpeters, Blue Bmnswicks, Ant- 

 werp Carriers, Archangels, and Turtle Doves, all beautifully clean and 

 in tino feather. There were few Farroti exhibited, and the only 

 foreign birds competing were a Green Pan'oquet, St. Helena Canarj', 

 and pair of Love Birds. The British birds shown were a Crossbill, 

 Siskin, Redpole, Goldfinch, and Cock of the North. Mr. M-Cririe, 

 Southern Counties' Asylum, had a fine aviary, in which was a happy 

 family of Bullfinches, Goldfinches, Grey Linnets, Kedpoles, Chaf- 

 finches, Green Linnets, Siskins, &c. The Judges' awards gave general 

 satisfaction, but some were not satisfied, and we were sorry to see a 

 Dumfries exhibitor so far forget himself as to break through all law 

 and order by removing the coop containing his fowls. It was well for 

 the success of the Exhibition that his example was not followed. The 

 arrangements seemed to be perfect, and were highly creditable to Mr. 

 Maxwell, Secretai-y, and the members of the Committee.
