BAILDON ORNITHOLOGICAL and COLUMBAEIAN 



SOCIETY. 



The annual Exhibition of the above Society was held in the 

 large room of the Charch of Euglaud Schools, Baildon, on the 

 7th and 8th inst. In point of entries there was a falling-o£f in 

 both the PiKPon and Cage-bird classes of nearly 200 compared 

 with last year's show, still the general quality of the birds was 

 good, particularly in the Cage-bird portion. The new Secretary 

 Mr. Hutton, considering he was new in the cause, worked 

 through the business tolerably well. There was but one slight 

 hitch in the Show worth recording, that of a couple of Pigeons 

 having been wrongly penned, which for a time caused a little 

 diiEculty both to the respective exhibitors, Judge, and Com- 

 mittee, and we think the easiest way to have overcome the diffi- 

 culty would have been for the Committee to have allowed an 

 extra prize to have been awarded. We may likewise draw 

 attention to the schedule, which needs some revision for another 

 show. We think Carriers or Pouters should head the list instead 

 of Jacobins. The classes throughout were fairly represented, 

 Antwerps taking the lead with about eishty-tbree birds in the 

 six classes. There were two classes for English Owls and none 

 for Foreign, and but one class for Tumblers— that of Long- 

 faced. 



In the Canary section we noticed an entire absence of the 

 Norwich birds, which had been struck out of the schedule ; for 

 what particular reason we know not, unless the pepper question 

 is already beginning to deter some of the fanciers who really 

 cannot keep pace with the enormous expense in moulting them, 

 and even then with but slight chance of winning. We would 

 advise the Committee another year to reinstate the classes, and 

 offer premiums to birds not mdulted with pepper. There were 

 a few good Belgians (especially the first and second prizes), and 

 Coppies and Plain-heads ; but a great feature in the Exhibition 

 was the Yorkshire-bred birds, some of which were splendidly 

 marked. The classes for British Birds were attractive and 

 exceedingly interesting, and we noticed that the White Black- 

 bird achieved another laurel to the several already won. By- 

 the-by there was a Nightingale in the Show, but it had a feather 

 in its tail ! — a somewhat uncommon occurrence, and being one 

 feather more than the four Nightingales could muster at the 

 recent Hanley Show. The awards of Mr. Calvert of York was 

 tolerably good all round; but still this was not the best part of 

 the proceedings, for the worthy hostess of the " Malt Shovel " 

 provided for the Judges, Committee, and reporters a dinner fit 

 for a king to partake of.

REIGATE SHOW OF POULTRY, &c. 



This Show was held on the 5th and 6th inst. at the DriU 

 Hall, a capital building for the purpose, but rather incon- 

 veniently situated. 



The management was good and the classes for poultry and 

 Rabbits were well filled. The Pigeon prize list was a liberal 

 one, but it was not so well supported. Dorkings — In coloured 

 cocks the first and second were good birds, rest moderate. 

 Hens.^ — First (Parlett), a grand specimen. Second and third 

 deserved their position. This was a capital class. Any other 

 colour. — First (Blue), rich in colour, of fair size, but rather 

 coarse in comb. Second (Blue), a neat bird, but not so la'ge as 

 the winner. Third a moderate White. Hens. — First (Cress- 

 well), a beautiful White. Second a handsome Cuckoo. Third, 

 a Cuckoo, not quite so good in colour. Cochins, cocks.— First 

 (Lingwood), a fine bird. Third (Christy), we liked better than 

 the second. He had many good points and was better in colour. 

 Hens. — Mr. Bloodworth and Mr Darby exhibited two good old 

 birds. Mrs. Christy also showed a fine coloured pullet, com- 

 mended. Any other colour, Capt. Talbot won in both classes 

 with superb Whites. Brahmas — First (Lingwood), a fine old 



, bird, the rest only moderate. Hens. — A better class. Rev. J. D. 



] Peake winning with a beautifully pencilled bird. Second was 



I well marked but wanted leg feather. Lights. — Good classes. 



I First (Haines), a grand bird. Second (Lingwood), also a fine 

 specimen. Hens. — A nice class, Capt. Savile winning with a 

 bird of verv pure colour and well marked in the hackle. 

 Spanish. — Eleven entries, nearly all good, Mr. A. Hewea 

 winning the cup with birds of fine quality but a little out of 

 condition. Game classes were satisfactory. The cup was 

 secured by a fine Brown hen of good style. Any other variety 

 class obtained only three entries. The pen of Piles that was 

 awarded first would have maintained its position in a much 

 larger competition. Houdan classes were very good. In the 

 French we preferred the second-prize pen to the winners. 

 Hambtirghs were moderate classes, Mr. Long's birds arrived 

 too late for competition. In the class for Leghorns a pretty 

 pen of Whites was first. Game Bantams, Black Reds. — First- 

 and-cup (Anns), a nice coloured pen, but for style and closeness 

 of feather we preferred the second. Any other variety. — First 

 (Marsh), Duckwings, a really handsome pen. Ducks, Geese, and 

 Turkeys all obtained good entries, and the selections were well 

 made. 



Pigeons. — Pouters only seven entries in the two classes. 

 Carriers were much better supported. In cocks Mr. Cuoksey 

 was first with a grand bird, fine in eye and wattle, and shown 

 in good condition. He also exhibited a bird of great promise 

 in the young class. Tumblers were small classes, but a few 

 handsome birds were to be found, the most noticeable being 

 Mr. Fulton's Almond cock, and the Almond and Agate hens of 

 Mr. Jayne. Messrs. Loversidge and Maynard exhibited some 

 beautifal Fantails, and Mr. Fulton a rare pair of Trumpeters. 

 The rest called for no special comment. 



Messrs. Leno and Nichols judged the poultry, and Mr. Corker 

 the Pigeons.
