CRYSTAL PALACE BIRD SHOW. 



Fop. the information of those readers of the Journal who may be 

 looliiug for some report of the Show which is now open and will re- 

 main so till Friday, I pen a few hasty notes while waiting for the - 

 train, promising to supplement them at length next weelr. Tailing the 

 Show as a whole, it is one of great merit. The Clear Jonqnes and 

 Mealies are in many instances, and notably so in the case of the win- 

 ning birds, of extraordinary merit. Mr. Walter is once more at the 

 top of the tree in Jonques with a splendid bird, and Mr. MacHey 

 second with a remarkable specimen, which ought to have been dis- 

 qualified, being Ticlied, and consequently entered in a wrong class. 

 The third is a fair bird, but I think I could name more than one 

 which I prefer. Among the uumentioned division stands Mr. Judd 

 with six excellent Jonqnes. 



The Clear B'uffs constitute a superior class, the first four being rare 

 birds, full of colour and bloom. Mr. Mackley shows two which are 

 equal third, and one of them is about as good as anything in the class. 

 Each was soon claimed at the low price of £1. No. 73 is a good bird, 

 and so are 6S, 97, and SI. 



In the Evenly-marked Jonqnes Mr. Hawman's bird stands unap- 

 proached. Adams & Athersuch are second with a remarkably neat 

 hen, and one of the equal thirds also is a hen, the third honour being 

 shared by Moore & Wynn and Smith & Preen, a Coventry firm. 

 Nos. 11-1, lis, and 120 well merit their cards. Walter, Adams & Co., 

 and Moore Sz Wynn share the honours in the Even-marked Buffs with 

 very fine birds in close company. 



The Ticked Belgians are, many of them, superb. Nos. 175 (Mack- 

 ley), IS-i (Moore & Wynn), and 177 (Bemrose & Orme), among the 

 Jonqnes are enough to make anyone's month water and create a long- 

 ing for that jonque mineral, of which a liberal supply is required to 

 enable one to become their purchaser. 



In Ticked Mealies Mr. Havers is first with 230, all quality ; but it 

 ia a very near thing between it and the second (No. 242, Walter). 

 Messrs. Toon & Cleaver are third with a very rich bird, and all the 

 mentioned specimens are meritorious. 



The crests are a great improvement on last year, and the Buffs well 

 deserve the comment of the Judges, which is appended to the return 

 list, "A splendid class." There are some magnificent birds among 

 them. No. 283, first Buff (Mackley), is full of good Norwich points, 

 and with but few exceptions most of the biids are well worth a careful 

 inspection. — W. A. Blakston. 



OwiXG to the excessive dryness of last spring great difficulty was 

 eTperieuced in rearing young birds, added to which the importations 

 from Germany and France have, during the last six mouths, entirely 

 ceased, and fears were entertained as to the success of a bird Show 

 under such disadvantages ; but it is evident that no apprehensions of 

 the kind need have been entertained. The entries are nearly if not 

 quite as numerous as. on former occasions, while the quality, for which 

 the show of last year was so famous, is maintained in the present 

 instance. Canaries are always strong, and especially the Norwich 

 birds. Next come the Belgians ; although there may be many points of 

 interest about thom which render them attractive to exhibitors, yet they 

 cannot either as to appearance or symmetry of form be compared to the 

 Norwich classes. Mules are alwaysgood, and so are the Loudon Fancy.
