Judges.— Poultry : Mr. Teebay, Fulwood, Preston; Pigeons :

Bradford and West Hiding Columbaeian Society.— This 

 has recently been established, and according to Rule 1, "The 



objects are to be the encouragement of the breeding of Pigeons, 

 the raising of the standard of the same, and the more frequent 

 and regular meeting of fanciers." A society with such objects 

 has long been wanted in the district, and now that one has been 

 formed, we hope it will secure the patronage and support not 

 only of exhibitors, but also of those who keep and breed for 

 fancy alone. The first of a series of monthly exhibitions was 

 held at Miss Northrop's Eestaurant on Thursday last, and two 

 classes of English Owls and Dragoons respectively, with three 

 prizes in each, produced some excellent specimens. The winners 

 in Owls were adults, and in Dragoons young birds of this season. 

 The prizes were awarded by Mr. E. Hutton, Pudsey. 



PIGEON CLASSES AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE 



SHOW. 



I observe a great oversight on the par£ of the Committee, as 

 in seven-eighths of the Pigeon classes cups are offered, yet, 

 though the entry-fee is the same, two high-class varieties — 

 namely, the beautiful Tumblers and the sturdy Barbs, have no 

 chance of gaining a cup. I enclose my address, and shall be 

 pleased to give a guinea towards a cup for them if the Committee 

 do not reconsider this part of their schedule, as I think both va- 

 rieties have always received good entries ; and I also notice by 

 the old catalogues that one gentleman lias always given the 

 Committee a cup for Barbs at each of their shows, and I regret 

 his former liberality is, as it were, cold-shouldered. — A. S. 



NOTES ON WHITBY AND SCARBOROUGH 

 CANARY SHOWS. 

 [Concluded from page 281.) 

 Before proceeding with- my review, I may say that my at- 

 tention has been kindly drawn to an error which appeared in 

 my notes last week. I there stated that No. 44, the property of 

 Mr. Caleb Worth, took the second prize in the Clear Buff class 

 at Whitby. I should have said No. 24, Mr. Joseph Audley, 

 Leicester. The mistake arose from a printer's error in the 

 margin of the catalogue. 

 At neither place was there a respectable show of Belgians. 

 Committees, even with the most laudable desire to furnish a 

 class for as many varieties as possible, must consult the treasury, 

 and when it is found that any particular arrangement neces- 

 sarily entails a certain loss, one cannot be surprised at their 

 making a black mark in the register opposite the name of the 

 delinquent class. I would suggest that at the early shows the 

 Yellow and Buff Belgians, both Clear and Ticked, should be 

 grouped in one class to be shown for Belgian properties. This 

 may seem an insult to the admirers of this remarkable bird, but 

 if they take only a cursory glance at the paucity of entries at 

 early shows, they will see that it bids fair to resolve into that or 

 worse. There was nothing of great merit at either place, but 

 Mr. Buhner's and Mr. Harrison's birds were far in advance of 

 the rest, and when in better show condition may develope 

 beauties which birds of this class in a backward state can 

 never do. 



Yorkshire birds were in force, thirty-eight competing at 

 Whitby in two classes, Clear Yellows and Clear Buffs ; and 

 thirty-four at Scarborough in two classes, Yellows and Buffs 

 combined, and a class for Yellow and Bull Variegated. Some 

 of the specimens were really grand birds, the prize-winners being 

 the admiration of many. Messrs. Fawcett, Mr. Luke Belk, and 

 Mr. Johnson appear to have got a fine strain of these old-esta- 

 blished favourites in the north, which eclipsed anything of the 

 kind I have yet seen. There is a growing disposition to im- 

 prove the colour, which, if it can be done without sacrificing 

 any of the distinctive points of the bird, will render them objects 

 of great beauty. 



Cinnamons were fairly represented. Yellows and Buffs were 

 in one class at Scarborough, an arrangement most undesirable 

 in any case where colour is a primary consideration, for I hold 

 it to be next to an impossibility for anyone to judge satisfac- 

 torily under such circumstances. An accurate conclusion as 

 between two things can only be arrived at by comparison, and 

 no true comparison can be instituted between dissimilar things. 

 Where a wide difference exists, some approximation to truth 

 may possibly be arrived at; but in the case of high-class birds 

 it is not easy to say this is a better Yellow than that is a Buff. 

 Messrs. Wallace & Beloe showed a remarkably high-coloured 

 Jonque, and Mr. Bexson a very fine Buff, both splendid birds. Mr. 

 Bexson was first with bis Buff at Whitby, beating a good field 

 by half a length ; the second, Mr. Mills's, being a very level 

 bird, rather small, but all over a nice cinnamon, and good ones 

 seem hard to find just now. Preen & Rymell, a new firm, showed 

 a good Yellow at Whitby, and Mr. Bexson's second to it was an 

 excellent hen. I may add that Wallace & Beloe's bird was rather 

 soft, but I fancied it was a hen also. 

 Of Lizards it would be impossible to speak too highly. In
