HINCKLEY SHOW OF CAGE BIRDS, &c. 



On the 21st of September a very good Show was held at tlie 

 Mineral Batb Grounds, Hinckley, situated Bome few miles from 

 Leicester. The Exhibition comprised Canaries and other cage 

 birds, besides Rabbits and Cats. The rain which fell plentifuUy 

 somewhat damped the affair, and was anything but suitable to 

 the Rabbits and Cats, which were shown openly, whilst the 

 birds were more protected beneath an open and capacious tent. 

 The entries in the whole were upwards of 230, the greater 

 portion of them being for birds. Several exhibitors of some 

 pretensions put in appearance, but most of the principal prizes 

 in the Canary classes fell to the lot of Mr. Adams of Coventry, 

 who exhibited fifteen specimens mostly peppered. The other 

 most successful competitors were Messrs. Bunting of Derby; 

 Athersuch, Coventry; Goode, Leicester; Coldnew, Burton; and 

 R. Whitaker of Darley, near Derby. 



The show of Belgian birds was poor. Norwich good, the 

 classes being well patroniRed. Crested birds beyond average 

 quality, and must have taken a little sorting-out. Cinnamon 

 birds not quite so plentiful, but rich in colour. Lizard birds 

 exceedingly good. Mules firBt-claes. The British and Foreign 

 classes fairly represented considering the time of year, but the 

 moulting season apparently is a favourable one for birds. In 

 the locul classes for cage birds there were about fifty entries, 

 but there was nothing of an extra kind shown. The class for 

 British birds was the best supported, there being fourteen 

 entries. 



Rabbits numbered three classes in the AU-Euglaud part of 

 the Show — namely, Lop-eared, Any other variety, and Heaviest. 

 There were sixteen entries in the first class, fifteen in the next, 

 and two for heaviest. The chief winners were AV. H. Crewe, 

 Et-q., Etwall ; and Messrs. Woods, Mann, Clew, Barrows, and 

 Robinson. For the heaviest Rabbit, W. Kirby was awarded a 

 second prize, the first being withheld owing to the want of suffi- 

 cient competition. Local exhibitors made a score entries. 



Cats. — There were about thirty Cats and kittens shown, but 

 in some of the classes the first prizes were withheld for want of 

 competition. In Class 19, heaviest Cat, only two entries were 

 effected, one of which was that of Mr. Minton's white short- 

 haired English Cat, the winner of first prizes at the Crystal 

 Palace, Birmingham, Hanley, Boston, and Burton-on- Trent. 

 "With all these honours surrounding it, we think a first prize 

 might have been given at Hinckley ; had the Cat not been 

 qualified for so distinguished a position, it would have made all 

 the difference. The following is a list of the awards : —
