shown in perfection. Mr. Ford's cnp pen contained a pair of gems 

 Barbs were shown in all colonrs, a pair of Beds of Mr. Maasey's were 

 the winners of the other cap. The Dragoons were designated by the 

 Jndge in the catalogue to be "a very good class." Fantails, Owls, 

 Jacobins, and Trampeters all contained unnsually good specimens. In 

 Tnrbits we thought very highly of the winning Black, a colour not 

 frequently seen in perfection in this variety. 



The Cage Birds were a very interesting collection, the King Parrot 

 •of Mr. Harrison's was a magnificent specimen. 



Eahhits were very numerous, and some excellent specimens were 

 shown in all the varieties. The Lop-eared of Mr. Easten's repeat 

 iheir usual p-tformance of taking the cnp.

Wakeikgton Potjltey Show. — For fowls there are fifteen 

 silver caps to be awarded at this Exhibition, in addition to 



the usual prizes of 40s., 20s., and 10s. in each class; and for 

 Pigeons ten silver cups, in addition to the prizes of 20s., 10s., 

 and 5s. 



EXETER POULTRY AND PIGEON SHOW. 



Although for the display of a large show of poultry few, if any, 

 grounds can be better than those of Northern Hay, at Exeter, being 

 terraced, and wooded with an abundance of most extraordinary well- 

 grown elms, in case of really bad weather nothing can be more ex- 

 posed to a driving rain ; and such, most unfortunately, was the case on 

 Thursday last, the *22nd inst. It would be almost impossible to recall 

 to mind a more unfavourable day as to weather. Of course, placed 

 entirely in the open air, no collection under such adverse circumstances 

 could be seen to advantage, and the very slight public attendance that 

 ensued must detract from the admission money very considerably 

 indeed. Still, in such energetic hands as the present Committee, we do 

 not fear but every effort to provide against so unfavourable a con- 

 tingency another season will be carefully considered. 



Certainly one of the great features of this Show was the Pigeons, 

 class after class being shown of most excellent quality, and the entries 

 for numbers were unquestionably good. It wUl be seen by referring to 

 the prize-list that Mr. Bulpin, of Bridgwater, took many prizes with 

 very superior pens, and capitally shown. This gentleman's first-prize 

 pens in Fantails, Pouters, Barbs, Trumpeters, and Owls fully maintain- 

 ing the high repute of their owner's selection. 



In fowls, Hamhurglis were in most instances quite equal to those 

 shown in even Yorkshire. Strange to say, there was not a single 

 entry in the Turl;ey class; but in itb Bantam class many a pen of 

 home pets were present that the soaking rain prevented anyone seeing 

 to advantage. Some of the grandest pens of Minorca fowls, both 

 White and Black, were exhibited. They are great favourites in these 

 districts, and, we are told, most unvarying layers. Some of the hena 

 were very characteristic of this showy fowl when in perfect health and 

 plumage. Some really good French fowls were also shown.

BELGIUM PIGEON RAGE. 



On Saturday last was to be wituessed at the Crystal Palace a very 

 curious and interesting sight ; this was about six hundred true-bred 

 Antwerp Pigeons. They bad been sent direct from Belgium in large 

 hampers securely fastened and then sealed, arriving at the Palace on 

 Friday night, to be let looso at noon on the following day, and race 

 back again for various prizes. Everyone has heard of the great pains 

 taken by the Belgians in training tlioir Pigeons for homing purposes, 

 and many of these birds had been previously thrown in different parts 

 of the south of England, uud even from London, reaching their homes 

 safely. The birds were exhibited in sixteen wii'e pens, each pen con-
