Scottish Columbasian Association. — We think most Kgeon 

 fanciers will enter the lists and contend on the 28fh for the 

 twenty gold medals and the liberal money prizes offered by this 

 Association. The Exhibition will be in the Music Hall, George 

 Street, Edinburgh. 



NoEPOLK AXD Eastekx Counties Poultet Shotv. — This, to 

 beheld at Norwich on the 17th and ISch of January, has a 



liberal prize list, besides cups, and low entrance fees ; but we 

 mast protest against all varieties of Dorkings being included in 

 one class and all the varieties of Hamburghs in another. This 

 is quite absurd. Setters and Pointers might as well be exhi- 

 bited in one class. 



NORTHERN COUNTIES COLUMBARIAN 

 SOCIETY. 



Thanes to the nsnal liberality of Messrs. Jennison, of Bell Vue, 

 Manchester, this Society held its annual Show on the 9th inst. in 

 one of their spacious and well-lighted rooms. The arrangements were 

 excellent, the three hundred bee-hive pens being placed in double rows, 

 and between the rows were placed hothouse plants, which gave the 

 Show a very pleasing character. The Judges gave general satisfaction, 

 and stated that they never judged or witnessed a better Show. 



The Carrier cocks and hens were all grand, stylish young birds. 

 Pouters, excepting the prize birds, were poor. Out of Mr. J. Fielding's 

 fine loft of birds, we thought he might have sent something better in 

 Short-faced birds than he did. Very superior Black African Owls were 

 shown by the President, and deservedly took the first prize. There 

 was a grand array of English Owls and Turbits of all varieties. "SVhen 

 we state the entries for Jacobins numbered thii*ty pens, and the two 

 old exhibitors, Messrs. Eoyds and Eidpeth, put forth the fall strength 

 of their lofts, the Judges may be beUeved when saying such a show 

 of Jacobins was never seen together before. Among the Barbs of 

 Captain Heaton and Mr. J. Firth, there was not a bad bird in any of 

 the classes, and Capt. Heaton's champion pair were conspicuous for 

 their splendid condition. Unfortunately Mr. J. Holland, although 

 he had made many entries, could not show any of his marveV- na 

 Dragoons, owing to family aflhction; but there were many spL udid 

 birds exhibited. 



Fantails, although not numerous, were of great merit, and there 

 were some very pretty Long-faced Balds, Beards, and Mottled Tum- 

 blers exhibited. The Long and Short-faced Antwerps were as good as 

 can be found in the country, and were a show in themselves. Of 

 Trumpeters, such a lot is rarely seen together. There were some good 

 birds in the Variety classes. The birds shown in the collections of six 

 were exhibited in the large mahogany cages belonging to the Society ; 

 they were numerous, and many of very great merit. "We may add that 

 at this Society's Exhibitions the competition is not for money prizes.

NORTHERN (NEWCASTLE) COLUMBARIAN 



SOCIETY. 



{From a Correspondent.) 

 This very interesting competitive Exhibition for yoting Pigeons was 

 held on the 13th and 14th in a very commodious sale-room, owned by 

 Mr. S. Joel, Pilgrim Street, Kewcastle-npon-Tyne. nnder the auspices 

 of the above recently -formed Society. This being their first Exhibition, 

 it was considered highly successful, and although the Society is in its 

 infancy, it was remarkable for the number of birds of this year's breed- 

 ing shown. The birds were exhibited singly, and numbered 271 peng 

 in twenty-nine classes ; the prize money amounted to about £20^ 

 In addition to this amount there were fifteen silver challeuge cups* 

 ranging from t-vo to four guineas each. To Mr. T. Kule, Dnrham'
