PAISLEY OEK^ITHOLOGICAL EXHrBITIO:N'. 



The eleventh annual Exhibition of Poultiy, Pigeons, 

 Canaries, and other small birds, held under the auspices of 

 the Paisley Ornithological Association, took place January 

 2nd, in the large building in William Street, belonging to 

 P. Coats, Esq., of Woodside and which, as for several years 

 past, was kindlj granted to the Association by that gentle- 

 man for the purpose. The entries were more numerous, it 

 is believed, than has ever been the case before at any s i milar 

 Exhibition in Scotland ; and a better collection could not 

 have been brought together, as it included the choicest prize 

 fowls and birds from aU parts of the country. Owing to the 

 disagreeable condition of the weather, the tm-n out of ladies 

 was not so great as we have seen on previous occasions, but 

 otherwise the attendance was excellent, as all the depart- 

 ments were crowded from the opening to the close.
