SHERMAN & Co., PRINTERS, PHILADELPHIA. 
NATIONAL COLUMBARIAN SOCIETY. 
Tue first exhibition of this Society opened at Republican 
Hall, Twenty-third and Broadway, N. Y., on the 24th of 
February, 1874. The display was exceedingly fine—proba- 
bly the finest ever beld on this side of the Atlantic—and the 
management all that could be asked; but the attendance 
during our stay was very poor, and we fear that, financially, 
the exhibition was a failure.. The cages were uniform 
throughout, of good size, and made wholly of wire, and 
arranged two deep. They are made to be easily folded, and 
occupy little room, until a future exhibition, when we hope 
the fanciers of New York and vicinity will turn out in larger 
force than they did at this exhibition. 
The show consisted of near 325 entries, about half of 
which were only entered for exhibition, which will account 
for the prize list not showing all the varieties exhibited. 
Mr. J. E. Spence, of Broughty Ferry, Scotland, sent over 
five pairs of White Fantails, some of which were very fine; 
also one pair of White Ruffs or Jacobins, and one pair of 
Blue Pied Pouters, which were quite good, but there were 
others on exhibition that excelled them, even had they 
arrived in time, although it must be taken into considera- 
tion that a first-class Pouter stands the voyage worse than 
any other pigeon. Mr. J. W. Ludlow, of Birmingham, 
England, also sent over one Yellow Pied Pouter Hen, very 
jine, but looking much worse for the voyage; also one pair 
of Red Pigmy Pouters, four pairs of Antwerps, and one pair 
of German Bronze Wings; these were the first pair we ever 
saw of this variety, and although a*’novelty, were not very 
attractive birds. These two noted fanciers deserve much 
credit for sending their birds such a distance; but we would 
suggest that if they send birds another year, and especially 
Pouters, they should be sent weeks before’ the show opens, 
for it takes them some time to recover from the voyage 
across the Atlantic; and the finer the bird the more difficult 
the passage. 


Mr. Wm. Simpson, Jr., had much to do with the manage- 
ment of this show, and he deserves the thanks of every fan- 
cier in the land for the energy and perseverence displayed | 
by him during the show, and since the organization of the 
Society. 
This young Society has been at much expense for cages, 
printing, &c., and we would suggest (especially if our fears 
are realized, that the exhibition has financially been a 
failure) that every pigeon fancier in the land at once send 
on $3.00, with $2.00 annual dues, and become a member at 
once, and strengthen the Society, so that its managers can 
be preparing for the second annual show, which we hope 
will be equal to the first in show of birds, and much more 
successful financially.
