DUMFKIES AND MAXWELLTOWN 

 ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



This Society held its sixth Exhibition and competition of 

 Canaries, Poultry, Pigeons, and Parrots in the Mechanics' 

 Hall, Dumfries, on Monday and Tuesday. The Exhibition 

 was a very attriictive one, the best, we believe, that has yet 

 been held in connection with the Society or in the district. 

 The Canary department showed careful and successful bi'eed- 

 ing. On former occasions there have been larger entries, 

 but' never so many fine bu'ds. The prize Canaries in all the 

 departments were beautiful creatures, but even the eye of a 

 connoisseur must have had great difficulty in determining 

 the awards. The Goldfinches and Mules exhibited were also 

 particularly fine. 



The poultry was a very large and fine show — especially in 

 the Game fowls andDorkmgs — and the Hamburghs, Cochin- 

 Chiuas, and Brahma Pootras exhibited, although not so 

 many, were very beaxitiful specimens. The Bantams were 

 well contested, and many fine birds brought forward. The 

 Pigeon department was one of the most attractive of the 

 Exhibition, the show being very large and excellent. 



The following is the prize list : —
