name, find specially attractive to visitors who are non-fanciers, was 

 numerous. 



The Selling class, a very numerous one, had au excellent proviso 

 attached to it — viz., "price not to exceed £2." This would not daunt 

 beginners, and, indeed, is calculated to increase the fancy. 



I now reach the four-pair collections at the end, and in the large 

 Peristeronic cages. They formed a very marked feature of the show ; 

 thus in one pen we saw Fans, Jacks, Owls, and Trumpeters. Prizes 

 of this kind please those fanciers who go in for many varieties. 



In the best collection of four pairs of Short-faced Tumblers, Mr. 

 J. Ford was entirely successful. Prettier collections are seldom seen ; 

 thus in one pen were a pair of Black Tumblers, a pair of Blue Tum- 

 blers, a pair of Red Tumblers, and a pair of Yellow Tumblers. 



Last of all, the " pens of six working Antwerps." These birds sug- 

 gested thoughts of war and beleaguered Paris. Happy birds though 

 penned, as they were safe from shot and hawks. The first prize went 

 to a fine pen of Blue Chequers, the second and third to Bed Chequers, 

 These birds, the birds of utility as well as fancy, have greatly im- 

 proved of late years, and are now beautiful in the show pen, a3 well as 

 useful on the wing. 



Such was tho " Great London Pigeon Exhibition," which I ardently 

 hope will be an annual one, and have better weather than that on 

 Tuesday for its visitors' convenience and pleasure. I beg to thank 

 the Committee for their kind courtesy, and lastly, to record my plea- 

 sure that Mr. Volckman, who has written and worked hard for the 

 Pouter fancy, has had the pleasure of seeing so many of his favourites 

 brought together in England, and has had also some personal success.
