BIRMINGHAM PHILOPERISTERON SOCIETY. 



The Committee of Management have just held their seventh 

 annual Show, and it la most satisfactory to state that both as to the 

 ■quality of the bi/ds and the pecuniary success, this year's meeting has 

 very far exceeded any yet held. Great interest is excited by the fact 

 that the majority of the birds shown have been bred by members of 

 the Society during the current year. Three hundred pens competed, 

 most of them being far behind those generally met with at our public 

 shows. Carriers throughout were superb, and some of the young 

 ones especially so. In Pouters the display of white birds was magni- 

 ficent, being such as is rarely equalled at any Pigeon show. The 

 5'antails, Almonds, and Barbs were not less worthy of praise ; the 

 Owls, Turbits, and Jacobins were also much better than heretofore. 

 Great, indeed, was the competition in the Antwerp and Dragoon 

 classes, the general impression being, never were such well-filled 

 classes of these breeds seen in Birmingham. The Variety class, too, 

 contained so many new varieties, as to be quite a feature of the Show. 

 Mr. Yardley sent in a very large cage of quite new breeds not for com- 

 jietition ; they proved objects of great interest to visitors.

DARLINGTON ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S 

 SHOW. 



A LiBER.iL schedule of prizes, and the very indefatigable exertions 

 of the Committee and Honorary Secretaries (Messrs. W. Hodgson and 

 W. J. Stewarcl), obtained 359 entries of birds, consisting of Canaries, 

 Mules, and British and foreign birds. It was an excellent Exbilution. 

 The Show was held in the very spacious and suitable hall of the 

 Mechanics' Institute. There were about one hundred more entries 

 than at the previous year's exhibition, and the birds generally were of 

 first-class breed and quality. Yorkshire certainly is occupying a 

 prominent position in the bird-exhibition world, but the Show at Dar- 

 lington is one among several others which take a very high place 

 annually in the county of Durham.
