Sorely this could not have been the same bird as exhibited at 

 Norwich. No. 2'10, in Class 20, also was proved to have had 

 some of the feathers in the ri^ht wing cut off nearly close, the 

 stumps of the pinions showiug them to have been white feathers 

 clipped out from amongst the dark ones, so as to give tbe smaller 

 flight feathers in the wiug a more even appearance. The bird 

 was shown by Mr. Belk. 



There were several good birds exhibited in the Any other 

 variety class, and a very noticeable feature was the "sixes." 

 Messrs. Mackley won an easy first with a beautiful lot of Jonques 

 (Norwich). In the Goldfinch Mule class Mr. Bunting was first 

 with a good one, a previous winner; Mr. Tenniswood being 

 second with another previous winner. Mr. Cooper of Middles- 

 borough, was third with a very deserving specimen, it being in 

 splendid trim, marked on each eye and wing, and having a per- 

 fect clear tail. There were a few good Dark Mules, Mr. Hawman 

 of Middlesborough being the principal winner. Class 27, Foreign 

 Birds, Mr. Bauting was first with a fine King Parrot; second 

 Miss E. Bowea with a Red-crested Grey Cardinal ; and Mr. Cal- 

 vert third with a Rosella Parrakeet. Many capital Goldfinches 

 and Linnets were shown, but Bullfinches were not so good. In 

 the Any other variety of British birds, Mrs. E. Wallace was 

 second with a Jay; the first-prize being the Starling, a winner 

 of many prizes, shown by Messrs. Fryer & Holt. There was 

 likewise a well-filled Selling class, no less than thirty-eight 

 specimens. 



The manner in which the Darlington Bird Show had been 

 conducted admitted of no two ways of thinking. The tempe- 

 rature of the hall containing so many valuable specimens was 

 studied, and the birds were well looked after. The Secretaries, 

 Messrs. Watson and Stewart, and the Committee, appear to be 

 the men in the right place. I left Darlington with that im- 

 pression. — An E'i'E-WlTNESS.

SNEINTON (NOTTS) CANARY SHOW. 



On Saturday and Monday, the 2l8t and 23ra inst., a very good 

 Show, being the annual cue of the Nottingham Bird Society, took 

 place at the Albion Hotel, Sneinton, Nottingham. The birda 

 exhibited were almost solely confined to the Norwich breed, of 

 which there were nine classea, and two classes for Lizards. 

 The Exhibition proved an entire Buccesa, and was well patronised. 

 The Honorary Secretary, Mr. A. Duke, with the assistance of a 

 good working Committee, deserve all praise for their exertions. 

 During the morning a dense fog prevailed, and judging was 

 somewhat delayed, the public not being admitted (aye, not even 

 the members of the press) until about one o'clock. Every facility 

 was'then rendered to the press in gaining the requisite notes, 

 which proved to be a somewhat better plan than dodging about 

 the elbows of a Judge during the discharge of his duties ; this 

 with numberless questions asked (especially if the "chiel" taking 

 notes is not well up), causes considerable delay. 



There were many good specimens of the Clear Yellow, Clear 

 Buff, and Marked, and Crested Norwich birds in the Show; the
