[ Jaunary 28, 1875. 



noticed. There were some moderate Blacks, but the hens were 

 superior to the cooks, and there were some very good White 

 pnllets shown. In the nest class Mr. Leno secured four of the 

 six prizes, as also the cup. Mr. Stringtield showing some of 

 the best Golden Sebrights we have seen for some time, and 

 which might have had a place. Ducks were better than we have 

 generally found them in the eastern counties. 



Pigeons were a very large entry — nearly double, in fact, of those 

 of any previous year, and the tone of quality of a high order. 

 Carrier cocks were first, and one of the four cups was awarded 

 to a well-developed bird in this class, a Black, and such a bird 

 as, if in some hands, would sharply become the tigure-head of 

 the fancy. The second and third were made to Duns, much 

 younger but of good properties; one bird that would otherwise 

 have won was sadly over-trimmed. Hens were good, the 

 winners all Black of good style of head, the awards being made 

 in proportion to the make-up, most of these being noticed. 

 YouDg Carriers were a very heavy entry, and the whole class 

 noticed, there being scarcely a bird but that had excellent 

 points. The wiuners all cocks. In old Barbs the first and 

 third were Blacks, but this was not one of the best classes. 

 Beds won in all cases in young Barbs, and they were moderately 

 good. Dragoons were immense classes, which caused no little 

 difficulty for the Judge, there being no less than forty-six 

 entries, and most were marked in some form or other. First 

 came Blue and Silver, in which a Blue hen was first, a black- 

 barred Silver hen second, and a Blue cock third ; many others 

 coming very close. The next was an interesting class, almost 

 every shade of colour and style of head being shown, the Horse- 

 man style coming out most forcibly in the grand- coloured 

 Grizzles, which as regards colour are in our opinion a sadly 

 neglected variety. The first and second were Yellows ; the first 

 a young bird of great merit, and the third a lied of grand 

 colour. In Balds and Beards, first was a neat Bald, second a 

 Blue Beard, and third a Blue Bald Long-face, very perfect in 

 all points. Tumblers, any other variety, were all Almonds, as 

 regards the winners the first being far a-head of the rest. 

 Pouters were a very good class, the first award being made to 

 a Black Pied of very sound colour, long in feather and Umb; 

 second was a White cock, very stylish and slim-built ; and 

 third a Blue, a little thick but in grand show, and good in all 

 other points. Mrs. Ladd's birds were too late, but several other 

 birds came very close to the winners in quality. Fantalls were 

 not a good class, though there were some very good; first and 

 second White, and third Blue. Antwerps with a few exceptions 

 were very poor, but a good Silver Dun Short-face attained the 

 first position. Any other variety was a real good class, first 

 being a Red Magpie of very diminutive proportions, second a 

 Grey Frillback, and third a Blondinette. The Selling class 

 was not large, but good Yellow Dragoons won first and second. 

 Dun Carriers coming third. 



Cage Birds were not an extensive show, some of the exhi- 

 bitors seeming to be afraid of the Messrs. Mackley, but the 

 show was very select as regards quality, and Messrs. Mackley 

 carried off the lion's share ; nearly all the specimens were of 

 the hot variety, and most were noticed. In the first four classes 

 the extra prize was given to a four-pointed Jonque Norwich, 

 a very good Crested Norwich receiving another, and the re- 

 maining one was given to a pure white Goldfinch Mule of good 

 size and in fine condition. Parrots and Paroquets ware all 

 noticed, and were a very interesting class, and in the next was 

 a good Golden Lizard and Zebra Finch as first and second. 



The catalogues and prizes attached were got out in excellent 

 style, and were ready within a very few minutes of the Exhi- 

 bition being completed. The extras for birds will be found in 

 our list though not in the catalogue, owing to a mistake.
