properties. The feather in first aod second-prizes was good, 

 but skulla not large. 



In Short-faced Tumblers, Other colour, we thought the first 

 coarse, and preferred the second Reds. 



LoDf^-muffed and other Flying Tamblers were pretty and 

 interesting classes. Birds of almost every feather were shown. 

 These birds are great favourites with Birmingham fanciers. 



In Balds Mr. Woodhouse was first with a pair of neat birds 

 well cut. 



In Beards, first and cup went to a fair pair of Blacks, which 

 were recently picked-out at Stevens's sale for a few shillings ; 

 Mr. South second with a really nice pair of birds. 



Barbs (old birds), except firBt-prize, were not a grand lot. The 

 same may be said of those bred in 1874, except cock in first 

 prize, which is a good bird. 



Triitnpeters. — Fulton first and second with Blacks; Mr. Shaw 

 third with a very promising pair of young Whites. 



Runts. — Mr. Green unapproachable. 



Fantails, White. — A good class, but in the wretchedly small 

 pens in which they were shown we could not attempt to pick-out 

 the best, and do not envy the Judge his task. 



Archangels. — Mr, Wilkinson took the prizes with two pairs of 

 good birds. 



Nuns require handling before expressing an opinion thereon. 



Swalloivs were, as is usual at Birmingham, a good class. 



In Jacobins, Bed or Yellow, First and cup went to a grand 

 pair of Reds ; second, Yellow, cock good, but a poor hen. 



Jacobins, Any other colour. — First, very fair Blacks. 



Turhits, Red or Yellow. — First-prize Reds wanting colour; 

 Cresswell's highly-commended Yellows rather large, but goo^. 



Tarbits, Other colour. — Mr. South first with very neat Blues ; 

 second, Blacks, not good colour. 



Owlsi Foreign. — Mr. Sparrow first and very highly commended 

 with good, strong, healthy-looking birds. 



Owls, English.— We liked Mr. Shaw's second Silvers although 

 very young. Mr. Binns sent two pairs of good birds, which 

 were too late for competition. 



Dragoons (as in catalogue). — Blues were a very good class, and 

 we considered the prizes rightly placed, most of the winners, 

 although judged by a Birmingham Judge, being of the so-called 

 London type. 



Reds or Yellows also very good, Mr. Graham still holding his 

 own. 



In Silvers we liked the first-prize birds very much ; also Mr. 

 Tegetmeier's highly-commended birds, which we would have 

 placed higher in the list. 



Whites were a good class. 



Anfwerps, Silver Duns. — A grand lot, most of the birds of a 

 well-marked type, but we should have placed the second birds 

 first. 



In the Red Chequers Mr. Gamon was first, second, and third 

 with grand birds. We fancied we recognised an old acquaintance 

 in the cock in the second pen. Some beautifully-marked birds 

 were shown in Blue Chequers. 



In the class for Homing birds we considered most of them too 

 stout, and too much like Short-faced Antwerps. Mr. Sparrow's 

 second-prize pen were a good lot. 



The Other new or distinct variety class is always strong at 

 Birmingham. First, a moderate pair of Fire Pigeons ; next first, 

 good plain Ice; two seconds to Satinettes and Turbiteens ; 

 thirds, Whiskered Owls and Frillbacks, with many other pretty 

 and interesting birds.
