RAILWAY NEGLECTS AND CHARGES. 
In your remarks on the Poultry Show at the Crystal Palace 
you say, “ Some disappointment and much inconvenience arose 
from the non-delivery of baskets by the railway company or 
companies. This is wrong. It is no boon for a company to offer 
to carry birds free, &c.” Now, what I, in common with many 
other exhibitors, complain of is not only the delay in the delivery 
of the birds, but also that, so far from carrying them free, they 
make extortionate charges, which I think the following facts prove. 
First, as to delay in delivery. My birds did not reach Bir¬ 
mingham (on their return) till about two o’clock on Tuesday, 
though exhibitors were given to understand they would leave the 
Palace early on Monday morning, and ought, therefore, to have 
been in Birmingham on Monday afternoon ; and the Secretary 
informs me they did leave the Palace on Monday, though he 
cannot state the hour. So that the birds were evidently kep 
without food from Sunday till Tuesday evening. 
Secondly, railway companies as to the boasted liberality o f 
carrying free. I sent two baskets, one a small one containing a 
pair of Pigeons, the other a couple of fowls, for which the 
London and North Western Company charge Is. each, but on 
their return I had to pay 1,?. 10 d. for one, and 2s. 2d. for the 
other! and on inquiry at the London and North Western Com¬ 
pany’s office, I find they paid for the two baskets 10 d. and 
] •?. 2d. So that one of the companies boasting of their liberality 
in carrying the baskets free, charge Is. 2d. for a basket from the 
Palace to Gracechurcli Street (because there is no real occasion 
to take them further), whilst the same basket is brought from 
London and delivered in Birmingham for Is. The sooner such 
liberality is abandoned, and a legitimate charge made the more 
advantageous I think for the exhibitor.—J. Peecivald, liar- 
borne , near Birmingham. 
[This is not the only complaint we have received, and one 
-well-known exhibitor has applied to the Crystal Palace Bail way 
Company for remuneration for two birds which had died in 
consequence of being detained. We advise the Secretary of the 
Crystal Palace Pou try Show to make very stringent representa¬ 
tions to the Railway Company ; for a recurrence of such neglect 
will ruin the Exhibition.— Eds. C. G.]
