We have received the following notes on the Pigeon classes : — 

 Pouters, Black or Blue, cock.— All the placed birds were Blues. 

 First-and-special good in limb ; second longer in feather, but 

 shorter in Umb, and deficient in style; third we could not get 

 to show. Pouter cocks, Any other colour. — First and second 

 Whites ; third Mealy, which deserved second place. Pouter 

 hen, Black or Blue —First Black; second Blue, with very wide- 

 set limbs; third bare of leg-feathering and bishop- winged. 

 Pouter hen, any other colour.— First White, hardly deserved to 

 be placed; second and third beat her hollow. The latter was a 

 Red, but bad in colour. The Pouter class was altogether a very 

 indifferent one, there being not a really good specimen in the lot ; 

 for the four classes there were only twenty-nine entries. Short- 

 faced Tumblers, in pairs.— First and second Almonds ; third 

 Blacks. All very good in head properties, but we thought a little 

 deficient in colour. Tumblers, any other colour.— First were 

 very pretty Balds; second good Blacks; third very coarse 

 Yellows. 5ii should have had third place. Carriers.- First 

 Dans ; second Blacks. These were magnificent specimens, and 

 the only Pigeons in the Hall r,f special merit. The third were 

 " duffers." Fantails.— ¥'uBt Whites ; second Saddlebacks ; third 

 Whites. We liked pen 63 best, and would have placed them 

 first. Second were right placed, and we should have substituted 

 72 for the third-prize pen. We cotild have bet our hat (it is 

 an old one) that several pens in this class were made up of hens, 

 and some of these were among the winners. Jacobins. — First 

 Yellows ; second and third Reds. Pen 85 contained a good pair 

 in bad condition. No. aO also very good. Nuns.—A.)! Blacks, 

 and prize birds were placed. Lots of trimming, as usual. Tur- 

 6j<s.— First good ; second bad ; third fair. No. 110 should have 

 had second place. Common Pigeons.— The prize birds were all 

 dapples, and we think the Judge did well in this. Any other 

 variety and SeUing classes contained nothing worthy of notice, 

 with the exception of a pair of White Foreign Owls, shown in 

 wretched condition. 



The prizes offered were los., 10s., and 5s., with card for fourth 

 prize, and should have brought together a great many more 

 birds. There were only ItiV entries in this department. We 

 are accustomed to see considerably more birds, and as good in 

 qixality, at the village shows, where the prize money is less than 

 one-third that offered here. Perhaps the names of the Judges 

 not being advertised had something to do with this. We would 

 like to see the Paisley Show well patronised by the fancy, as it 

 well deserves to be, and we hope in future the Committee will 

 leave no stone unturned to make it what it ought to be— second 

 to none on their side the border. The birds were in dome-shaped 

 wire pens, aU fastened down, and they were particularly weU 

 cared for with food and water. They were arranged in double 

 tiers; those in the lower were too dark, and those in the upper 

 too high to be seen to advantage. The Judge, Mr. McLean, is a 

 new hand; we hail his advent. He did his work well, and only 

 requires experience to impart a little more confidence. We 

 were sorry to see large stacks of hampers outside, and exposed
