BEEWICK AND BORDEE OENITHOLOGICAL 

 ASSOCIATION'S SHOW 



The third annual Exhibition, was held on the 4th and 5th inst., 

 at the Corn Exchange, Berwiek-on-Tweed. There was a good 

 entry of birds, considering the lateness of the season and the 

 weeding-out there has already been of those birds which have 

 failed to make a mark at the numerous shows held throughout 

 the kingdom. There were in all about 243 legitimate entries, 

 exclusive of about fifty birds sent for sale only, and these in- 

 cluded most of the best birds in the kingdom. Derby, Norwich, 

 Coventry, Northampton, Leicester, Scarborough, Dewsbury, 

 Penrith, Middlesborough, Darlington, Sunderland, Bradford, 

 Edinburgh, and many other important towns were well repre- 

 sented, and the Show on the whole was a great success. 



Belgians were badly represented, and except the first-prize 

 bird in the Clear-ticked or Yellow class, and the first and 

 second in the Clear-ticked or Marked Buff class, they were only 

 an average lot. Glasgow Dons were fairly represented, and 

 some good specimens shown. Clear Buff and Clear Jonque 

 Norwich were moderately represented, but we fancy that we 

 have seen better birds in previous years, although the winners 

 have been successful throughout the season. The Evenly- 

 marked Norwich classes contained the finest specimens we have 

 ever seen, especially the prizewinners. We liked the second- 

 prize bird in Class 9 better than the first ; he has more perfect 

 eye-marks and a better saddle, hut both are beautiful specimens. 

 The Unevenly-marked Yellow or Buff Norwich shown in Class 10 

 had some very highly-coloured representatives, but we preferred 

 the second-prize to the first in this class as well ; he is richer 

 in colour and a larger bird. No. 70 is a grand bird. The next 

 class, also for Unevenly-marked Yellow or Buff Norwich, marked 

 on head, eyes, wings, and tail only, was well represented. We 

 were much pleased with No. 75, v.h.c, but the bird was unwell, 



otherwise we think it would have been difficult to dispose of ; 

 the prizewinners, however, were all grand birds. Clear-crested 

 Norwich was a splendid class. No. 83 (second-prize) is a nice 

 bird, but is spoiled through having his crest slightly broken on 

 each side. No. 86 (first-prize) has a good crest, but it is clear, 

 which we think very objectionable. No. 87a was in bad feather, 

 and is, besides, the possessor of a very moderate crest, and we 

 think was wrongly placed. No. 87 and 85 were, unquestionably, 

 second to nothing either in point of quality or crest ; indeed, 

 85 was, undoubtedly, the best-coloured bird in the class, with 

 a splendid dark crest. Evenly-marked Yellow-crested and Buff- 

 crested Norwich contained very good specimens indeed. No. 89 

 and 95 were only three-parts moulted, and not at all in show 

 feather. In the class for Any other variety of Crested Norwich, 

 the first-prize bird has the most wonderful crest we ever saw, 

 but is very coarse and deficient in quality ; it is a large green- 

 marked bird, nearly all green. All the prizewinners in this 

 class were very deficient in colour. No. 99 and 100 were good 

 birds, full of quality. 102 has a good crest, but is pale in colour 

 and deficient in quality. Clear Yellow and Buff Yorkshire were 

 very moderately represented. Any other variety of Yorkshire 

 was one of the best classes in the Show. We were much pleased 

 with the second and third-prize birds. The first-prize bird has 

 a few dark feathers in his saddle, which is an undoubted blemish. 

 110 and 111 were two nice birds ; in fact, there was not a bad or 

 even a moderate representative in the whole class. The Jonque 

 and Buff Cinnamon classes were poorly represented so far as 

 numbers were concerned, but the quality was unexceptional. 

 Evenly-marked or Variegated C inn amon contained some beau- 

 tiful specimens, and we were much impressed with the prize- 

 winners, as also with No. 125, which is a grand bird, but pale in 

 colour ; his size and markings -ffere exceedingly good. 



Evenly-marked Goldfinch Mules were wonderfully well repre- 

 sented, and contained a grand lot of birds. 132e, second-prize, 

 is a gem, and we should have Ibeen disposed to give it first 

 prize. No. 131 (third-prize) is likewise a splendid bird. We 

 were much pleased with Nos. 127, 129, and 132a. 127 was in bad 

 trim; he evidently had been spared the lathering process, that 

 essential requisite to make a bird fit for exhibition in these days 

 of marvels. The whole class, with one or two exceptions, was 

 remarkably good. Unevenly-marked Goldfinch Mules contained 

 three or four splendid birds, the remainder were very common- 

 place. Dark Goldfinch Mules, and those of any other variety, 

 were fairly represented; the latter class containing two good 

 Brown Linnet Mules. The Selling class contained some grand 

 birds, many of them fit to show in their legitimate classes, and 

 would, win at some shows. The prize Goldfinches were good, 

 especially the first and second. They quite distanced anything 

 else in the class. 



In the class for Any other variety of British bird there was a 

 good entry. The first prize was awarded to a Thrush, which 

 was pronounced by the Judge to he the finest specimen he ever 

 beheld. It certainly is a magnificent bird, and in splendid 

 plumage. The second prize was awarded to a Chaffinch, and 

 the third to a Bu ll finch. Foreign birds only had two representa- 

 tives — a Bishop Bird and a Paraquet, both nice birds of their 

 kind.
