PIGEON.^. 



The show of Pit/rons wfls scarcely ecjual in quality to that of the 

 poultrv", altliongh ninny good birds competed. In Single Powter coeka 

 Mr. Fulton was Urst with a\Vhite,in(liflfereut in shape, and rather thinly 

 covered in limb, a good Ulue being second ; but Mr. Harvey's liighly 

 commended White was much the best in the class, being tine in shajw, 

 with nicely-covered limbs, and much longer in feather. IJlue Powter 

 hens were tirst and second ; the former was verv handsome, and the 

 latter extremely infei-ior, being bare. shinned, with the legs placed ou 

 the body like stilts, and mthout any pretension to rose pinion, or half- 

 moon, in addition to a ding>' colour. X very tine highly commended 

 Black In-n should have had tirst position, ('arriers formed two good 

 classes ; very stout Black cocks nnd two extremely promising bens had 

 the prizes. Tumblers had four classes, and tin* most noticeable were 

 Mr. Oates's Bine Beards and Mr. Fulton's .Mnuinds and Black Mottles, 

 all of which deserved tlieir positions in the prize list. Barbs were 

 good. Mr. Robinson's wonderful Blacks having first place. In Owls 

 the lirst-prize pen (Whites) contained a hen much out of condition, 

 heiug minus the feathers at the hack of tlie head, the second prize 

 went to good Blues. In Fanlails and 'I'urbits some of tlie best birds 

 were untit lor competition. In Any other variety, Swiss Pigeons were 

 tirst, Siberian Ice Pigeons second' and extra second, the best pair 

 taking the latter^jt.isition, .lacohins third, and Isabels extra third. 



The cup for tlie most successful exhibitor fell to Mr. J. Fielding, Jan., 

 of Koehdale. 



It is with great regret we have the unpleasant duty of recording a 

 villainous tamptu-ing with I'igeous. happily jireviously nnkiiown at onr 

 Pigeon Shows. Prior to the judging several pairs of birds, including 

 the best Turhits nnd Faiitails. had been deliberately plucked, the 

 entire frills of the former and the greater portion of the tail feathers 

 of the latter having been removed, and on si^areh being made the re- 

 moved feathers were discovered concealed near the end of the pens. 

 -\t a nus-tiiig of the Club the utmost indignation was expressed at this 

 dastardly trick, and it was unanimously resolved to take immediate 

 steps for the diaeoverx' of the offender, and with that view a reward 

 of £10 was offered for such information as would lead to tlie detection 

 of the guilty ])arty. The birds belonged to Mr. Thaekeniy, Mr. Robin- 

 son, and Mr. Yardley.
