He said that he/ was very pleased witli the pigeon section, both as regarded numbers and quality, and he made particular mention of the pouting breeds and the bald heads. These two sections were among the largest - ho had ever seen benched at one show, and the whole section was one of the best he had seen for several years past. The pigeon which had secured the chief honour was a yellow cropper hen. It was full of quality, splendid markings, and a good blower. In fact, it would bo hard to fault it in any particular. The winning special, in the opposite sex, was a red dun carrier—an excellent specimen of the breed. Although the entries in the bantams was not as largo as those in some of the other sections, said the judge, they did not fall short in quality, there being some lovely specimens of modern game bantams and black rosecombs. . These two sections stood out on their own. The winning pile cockerel bantam was of excellent reach, type, and colour. The winning black rose cockerel had a good flow of feather, splendid headpiece, nice leader, and good lobes. HOW PIGEONS .Judge: Mr R. W. Simpson. WORKING HOMERS. COLOURED CLASSES.
