The L.C.B.A. Show. 
were deservedly first and second, being- in superb condition 
and feather; the third prize going- to Mr. Aleager's AJealy

taining many rare or very uncommon 
species, two new to the show-bench, and 
others not often met with of late, several 
of which were hardly treated though in 
good form— the more notable will be re- 
ferred to in a later issue. 
1 E. J. Watts, Queen Whydah, 
perfect in every way, distinctly lucky,
