NATIONAL COLUMBARIAN SOCIETY. 



The first exhibition of this Society opened at Republican 

 Hall, Twenty-third and Broadway, N. Y., on the 24th of 

 February, 1874. The display was exceedingly fine— proba- 

 bly the finest ever held on this side of the Atlantic — and the 

 management all that could be asked; but the attendance 

 during our stay was very poor, and we fear that, financially, 

 the exhibition was a failure. The cages were uniform 

 throughout, of good size, and made wholly of wire, and 

 arranged two deep. They are made to be easily folded, and 

 occupy little room, until a future exhibition, when, we hope 

 the fanciers of New York and vicinity will turn out in larger 

 force than they did at this exhibition. 



The. show consisted of near 325 entries, about half of 

 which were only entered for exhibition, which will account 

 for the prize list not showing all the varieties exhibited. 

 Mr. J. E. Spence, of Broughty Ferry, Scotland, sent over 

 five pairs of White Fan tails, some of which were very fine ; 

 also one pair of White Buffs or Jacobins, and one pair of 

 Blue Pied Pouters, which were quite good, but there were 

 others on exhibition that excelled them, even had they 

 arrived in time, although it must be taken into considera- 

 tion that a first-class Pouter stands the voyage worse than 

 any other pigeon. Mr. J. W. Ludlow, of Birmingham, 

 England, also sent over one Yellow Pied Pouter Hen, very 

 fine, but looking much worse for the voyage ; also one pair 

 of Bed Pigmy Pouters, four pairs of Antwerps, and one pair 

 of German Bronze Wings; these were the first pair we ever 

 saw of this variety, and although a novelty, were not very 

 attractive birds. These two noted fanciers deserve much 

 credit for sending their birds such a distance ; but we would 

 suggest that if they send birds another year, and especially 

 Pouters, they should be sent weeks before the show opens, 

 for it takes them some time to recover from the voyage 

 across the Atlantic ; and the finer the bird the more difficult 

 the passage. 



Mr. Wm. Simpson, Jr., had much to do with the manage- 

 ment of this show, and he deserves the thanks of every fan- 

 cier in the land for the energy and perseverence displayed 

 by him during the show, and since the organization of the 

 Society. 



This young Society has been at much expense for cages, 

 printing, &c, and we would suggest (especially if our fears 

 are realized, that the exhibition has financially been a 

 failure) that every pigeon fancier in the land at once send 

 on $3.00, with $2.00 annual dues, and become a member at 

 once, and strengthen the Society, so that its mamigers can 

 be preparing for the secend annual show, which we hope 

 will be equal to the first in show of birds, and much more 

 successful financially.
