OWL PIGEONS. 



Most emphatically, but with the good nature of a brother 

 fancier, I protest against the remarks upon Eaglish Ocpls of 

 "Bubo " ia your ever-welcome paper. Keeping, as I do, both 

 English and foreign, I cannot be said to be prejudiced in favour 

 of either ; but while admittinf; the beauty of the tiny foreigner, 

 there is to my mind no variety more handsome than a first-class 

 really pnre English Owl. I am aware some breeders have 

 crossed the two varieties, but I thiuk there is now an end of 

 that mistake. There are of course two standards for Owls, as 

 much so as for the grand Pouter and the graceful pigmy, or the 

 aristocratic Game and its tiny image. 



Is not your correspondent b^liind the times instead of pro- 

 gressing when he advocates only one class for Owls in place of 

 two ? For my part I am looking forward with great hope to 

 the time when we shall have a class for each sex, and perhaps 

 for each colour. 



Just one hint to Mr. B. Improve one or all the varieties as 

 much as you can ; but don't throw cold water on anyone's hobby, 

 and especially on that of — T. G. S,, St. John's Wood. 



CRYSTAL PALACE BIRD SHOW. 



The twelfth annual Exhibition of Cage Birds was opened to 

 the public at midday on the 13th iiist. In the eic;hty-one classes 

 for competition there were no less than 1494 entries. A some- 

 what new feature in connection with the Show was the class for 

 ahow cagep, in which thirty ca£^es were entered. Several cleverly 

 eonstrupted caties were sent for competition, but they were far 

 too complicated in character to meet the views of the Judges so 

 far as being thoroughly adapted for show cages. Several were 

 too gaudy and ill adapted for packing, and others were so con- 

 Btructed that, had they been adopted, they would have entailed 

 too much trouble to secretaries and those immediately connected 

 in packing and unpacking, and otherwise successfully carrying 

 out bird shows. The first prize, a silver medal, was awarded to 

 Mr. T. Alwin of Deptford for a cleverly made cage of moderate 

 size, fit for a show-room either daring daylight or gaslight, and 

 of a suitable shape for packiug. The second prize of 10s. was 

 given to a light-made simply-couatructed cage entered by Mr. 

 W. Evans, Manchester; aud the third prize to a cage entered 

 by the Rev. V. Ward, Hythe, Kont. The principle upon which 

 the latter cage was constructed was tolerably good, but it was 

 somewhat insignificant in size, and had a sligiit fault of being 

 rather too deep from front to back. An extra prize of i'l was 

 won by Messrs. Q. & J. Macklev, Norwich, for birds gaining the 

 greatest number of points in classes 1 to G. A silver cup was 

 offered for competition in the Mule classes 30 to 33, which was 

 awarded to Mr. J. Doel of Plymouth. 



Mr. F. W. Wilson of the Natural History department and his 

 staff are deserving of praise for their exertions. It must be very 

 gratifying to Mr. Wilson to find the entries have increased three 

 hundred over the preceding Cage Bird Show. 



We shall continue our report next week. The following are
