NATIONAL COLUMBASIAN SOCIETY’S

ordinary meeting room at Anderton’s Hotel proving on the last : c< 
anniversary to be inconveniently overcrowded. j a 
The show of birds was very good, particularly in some classes, a

fancier of this valuable variety. It was to be regretted that Mr- t 
Hayne did not show his stout birds, as, had he done so, such a ; 
collection would have resulted as Avas never before seen in one

head, eye, beak, and wattle, the best we ever saw. Mr. Holmes 
showed some very superior Blues ; and very good birds were tin
