MANCHESTER BIRD SHOW. 

 The second annual Exhibition took place in the Cotton Waste 

 Exchange, Manchester, on December 31st, and January lat and 

 2nd. The Show on the whole was a successful one, to judge of 

 the 450 entries effected. Two exhibitors or firms alone entered 

 fifty-one birds each — namely, Messrs. G. & J. Mackley of Nant- 

 wich, and Messrs. Evans (Secretary), and Smethurst of Man- 

 chester. The Society's gold medal fell to the lot of the Norwich 

 firm for twenty-eight points, the Manchester firm thus losing by 

 one point. The judging oould not be got through the first day, 

 only the first half-dozen classes having been completed — namely, 

 the Lancashire birds, so styled by some recently, but better 

 known for years past as Manchester Coppys and Plainheads. 

 The postponement of the judging was caused through a dense 

 fog, " which hung like a pall " over the city during Thursday. 

 Certainly this was a very great disappointment. Throughout 

 the entire classes many excellent birds were exhibited.
