pnrpoecly proliibitoir. la the " Any other Varictj- of Bantams " some 

 excellent Cochins. Bantams, Blacks, Whites, Japanese, and tolerably 

 good Sebrishts competed. 



Ducks were very good, bat all varieties competed together. The 

 " SeUing " class of nearly fifty pens brought many buyers. 



The Piifcons were a very good portion of the Show ; the Carriers, 

 Powters, jacobins. Owls, Turbits, and Barbs especially so. Many of 

 the latter variety, however, proved in sad condition. In the " ^ ariety 

 class for Pigeons the " Siberian Joe " Pigeons, as they are entered by 

 their owner, were again snccessful. The name by which they now 

 appear is quite a mistake ; ihe/are the " Icelanders," a Pigeon well 

 known and frequently met with vcai-s back, but of late comparatively 

 rare. The Siberian "ice (or Snow I Pigeon, if they must be re-named, 

 could not be complained of, though we ourselves doubt their Siberian 

 origin. 



A peculiar feature of the Walsall Show, and one highly creditable 

 to its promoters, was the intrinsic value of its nine silver cups, stated 

 as being worth three guineas each. They were all exact counter- 

 parts of each other, and we were assured by two highly respectable 

 silversmiths : " They were worth ,i'-t each at least, wholesale, any- 

 where." May we here suggest that it would be well for some other 

 Committees we could name to become copyists in this particular of 

 real value, as being a change ranch wanted ? The Walsall Committee 

 have led the way in this matter so well that we trust the complaints 

 sometimes arising as to the absolute value of plate prizes will be no 

 longer heard ; and we are confident that the competition ^vill be pro- 

 portionally increased. 



As on the day of opeuiug towards one or two o'clock the sun broke 

 out, the Show was well attended by many of the aristocracy as well as 

 by pouItiTT amateurs. On the second day. though tlie weather was quite 

 niapromising, the Show was also well attended. The Committee were 

 most obliging to all amateurs, and we rejoice in the success of the 

 Walsall first meeting.
