NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE PIGEON AND CAGE 

 BIRD SHOW. 



The Newcastle-on-Tyne Ornithological Society held their annual 

 Exhibition of Pigeons and Canaries on November 2nd and 3rd, in the 

 Corn Exchange, which is one of the finest buildings in the kingdom 

 for the purpose, being very spacious and thoroughly lighted. The 

 Show was highly successful, thanks to the good management of the- 

 Hon. Sees., Messrs. W. K. and H. O. Blenkinsop. The entries of 

 Pigeons numbered 421 pens. AYe shall merely notice a few of the- 

 most striking pens, referring to the prize list for other particulars. 



The Carrier classes contained some excellent birds, but were hardly 

 up to last year's standard. Messrs. Stretch, Fulton, Waddington, and 

 Massey exhibited the best birds. 



The renter classes were well filled. The "White cock from Mr. 

 Skinner McGill stood first in bis class, and but for being very dirty 

 would probably have taken the principal special prize as well. Messrs. 

 Fulton and Van Haansbergen showed good Blacks, which will mak& 

 their mark in a better classification. Blacks had to compete with Bluesv 

 which was a great drawback, and we hope the Society will afford sepa- 

 rate classes for each colour nest year. 



Short-faced Almonds comprised the best lot we have seen for a long 

 time, every pen containing either one or two first-class birds, and the 

 whole deservedly received high commendation. One pair were sold 

 for £15, and these were not the prize birds. Several of the best birds, 

 were moulting, otherwise the awards might have been different. 



Short-faced Balds or Beards were a wretchedly poor class as far as 

 head and beak were concerned. 



Amongst the Tumhhrs of any other variety were some very well- 

 marked Mottles, which were the winners. Messrs. Blenkinsop's Eites 

 were also very fine. 



In Barhs the only pens worth notice were Mr. Fulton's pair of Reds 

 and one pair of Blacks, and Mr. Van Haansbergen's two pens of 

 Blacks. All these were superb, and, we doubt not, will be heard oi 

 again at the forthcoming shows. 



Jacobins were a magnificent class. The first-prize Yellows well de- 

 served their position. The second-prize pen of Reds were very good^ 

 but hard-pressed by several of the other competitors. We think, 

 Jacobins entitled to three classes. The class for Red or Yellow con- 

 tained twenty-one pens, and the Any other colour class ten entries, 

 thus paying better than any except the Sale and Tnrbit classes. In 

 the other class for Jacobins of any other colour, Mr. Van HaansbergeD 

 swept the board, his two pairs of Whites being exquisite, and in our 

 opinion equal to anything in the Jacobin classes. 



White Fantails were a good class, Mr. Loversidge's pen facile. 

 princeps^ and claimed at £10. We have seldom seen better, and of 

 course they took the cup. Blue Fantails were all good. No other, 

 colour was shown. 



In Trumpeters (Mottled), the first, second, and special prizes were 

 excellent birds. In Any other colour excellent Whites were first. We 

 thought Mr. Jones's highly commended pair equal to the second-prize 

 pair. Several other good pens were shown. 



Tui'hits numbered thirty-seven entries. Several good Shell-crested' 

 birds were shown, and we consider that the Society should allow one 

 class to shell-crowned and two to point-headed birds. The first-prize- 

 Blues were sold for £4. 



Magpies were good and plentiful. 



Xuiis were a good class, and not so much trimmed as formerly. 

 The winning Yellows were very fine. 



Some very pretty pens of foreign dels were shown, both Whites and 

 Blues. English Owls were a mixed lot. Many of the pens were 

 passed on account of too close alliance to the foreigners. The first- 

 prize Whites were excellent-headed birds, though we must say that 

 colour does not please us in English Owls, the pretty Blues and Powder 

 Blues being more to our liking. 



Dragoon-'; were very good. A pen of rather heavy Reds were very 

 rich. Several pens of tine Y^ellows were also shown. 



Common TumUcr classes contained very good Balds and Beards o£ 

 all colours. A pair of Red Mottles were exceptionally fine. Some 

 good Almonds were shown, but were not well matched. 



The Variety class contained remarkably pretty birds. 



The two Selling classes contained some birds which would hava
