Prises to the value of close on L4O were provided, bo it may he judged that the competition to secure a place was keen and well contested. The chief event was the Cup Handicap (10 birds) for which eleven members entered. The first prise (valued at 17 guineas) was secured by Mr Tudor Mackay, the second by Mr S. M. Dalgliesh, and the third hy Mr John Stronach. Birds being plentiful (close on 300 being available) a series of sweepstake handicap matches were also got up on Tuesday. In the first (five birds) Mr A.
