PIGEONS AT THE BEADFOED SHOW. 



The collection of Pigeons was most unusually attractive ; 

 nearly two hundred pens, divided into twelve classes, com- 

 peted, and comprised most of the choicest specimens to be 

 met with. Owing to the severe storm Mr. F. G. Stevens's 

 bii'ds were absent 



The Carrier class was a large one. Mr. Else's first-prize 

 Blacks (which also secured the silver cup for the best pair 

 of Carriers, Powters, or Tumblers), were good, the lien 

 being remarkably fine. Mr. CoUey's second-prize pen of 

 Blacks contained a good hen. Messrs. A. Pinto Leite, and 

 Eden received high commendations for extremely good 

 representatives, the Duns shown by both being of special 

 merit. 



The Powter class was not particularly strong, with the 

 exception of the prize birds. Lengthy well-shaped Blues 

 were first, and very good Keds second. 



Almond Tumblers formed a capital class. Mr. Else's 

 excellent coloured pair were first, and Mr. Ford second, 

 with fine birds. 



In Tumblers, Any other Variety, Mr. Eden's wonderful 

 Black Mottles were first, and a beautiful pair of Kites second. 

 Black Mottles, Kites, and Blue Beards, received notice. 



Barbs mustered strongly. Mr. Haansbergen added 

 another to his triumphs in this variety with his well-known 

 Blacks. Good Keds were second. 



Owls formed a nice collection. Pine Blues were first, and 

 Whites (both Foreign) were second. 



In Turbits good Silvers, evenly marked and in capital 

 condition, took both prizes. 



Pantails were well represented. The first prize went to 

 Whites, the second to good Blues. Several excellent pens 

 received high commendation. 



The Jacobin class was one of the best in the show. Mr. 

 J. T. Lawrence, however, completely outdistanced competi- 

 tion with his extraordinary Yellows, and most deservedly 

 obtained both prizes as well as the silver cup for the best 

 pair, excepting the first four classes previously named. 

 Blacks and Keds were highly commended. 



Trumpeters were good. Mr. Robinson's first-prize Black 

 Mottles being particularly noticeable. Mr. Oates had his 

 accustomed position with good Whites. 



In Any other Variety the Kev. C. Spencer's beautiful Swiss 

 Pigeons were again first, and Satinettes, second. Blue 

 Kunts, Black Spots, Black-headed Nuns, White Dragons, 

 Victorias, and Yellow Magpies, all very choice, received 

 notice. 



The Selling Class was large and diversified. A handsome 

 pail' of Ked Magpies were first, and Blue Dragons second. 



BKAHMA POOTEAS AT THE BEADFOED 

 EXHIBITION. 



Allow mo to ask respecting the Brahma Pootra class at- 

 the last Bradford show. I see in your journal the awards 

 in the class named, and in the prize and class list sent to 

 me no such class is named. Being an exhibitor in that 

 class, although not at Bradford, I should have been there 

 had I known there was such a class. I shall feel greatly 

 obliged by information respecting it. — J. Wbight, Wood- 

 bridge, Suffolk. 



[We have made inqtiiilos and find that inserting a class 

 for Brahma Pootras was an after-thought, and we have seen 

 a printed schedule, which was sent before the show, with the 

 prizes to bo given for Brahma Pootras inserted in MS. by 

 one of tho secretaries. AVhcn such a change is made a 

 committee had much better advertise the change. It is 

 only fair to the exhibitors, and for tho advantage of the 

 Society, besides avoiding unpleasant suspicions of the, 

 juotives of tho committee. J
