PIGEONS. 



The Pigeons, numbering three hundred pens, were ranged 

 in one of the galleries, and were of easy access to the 

 visitors. 



Almond Tumblers formed the first cla3S. Mr. Else was 

 first with a pair very fine in feather ; the second-prize pen 

 contained a splashed and unevenly-matched pair ; while Mr. 

 Eden's third-prize birds, although not etjual in feather to the 

 first, were very much superior in head and beak to either 

 pen. 



Carriers were divided into four classes of single birds. 

 In the two for Blacks, cocks and hens respectively, Mr. Else 

 took both first prizes ; Mr. Eden had second positions, each 

 with particularly good birds. In cocks, Any other colour, 

 Mr. Eden had first with a splendid Dun; Messrs. Siddons 

 second with a good bird of the same colour. In the like 

 class for hens the first prize went to a Dun cock, shown by 

 mistake we imagine. 



In the four classes for Powters Mr. G. E. Potts had a great 



success, taking three out of the four first prizes. In that 



for Red or Blue cocks a Red, very lengthy in feather and 



i limb, was first, and a good Blue second. In Powter cocks,
