TESTIMONIAL TO MR. DEAN WOLSTENHOLME. 



As noticed in our impression of last week, the presentation ol 

 this testimonial took place on the evening of the 2i5rd nit., in 

 the room occupied by the National Peristeronic Sociify, Free- 

 masons' Tavern, London. The meeting was well attended, and 

 composed mostly of the members of this Society. England was 

 thus strongly represented. Scotland was represented by Mr. 

 Huie. Several of the Rcntlemen brought with them specimena 

 of Pigeons, including Pouters, Carriers, Short-faced Tumblers, 

 Jacobins, &c., and these birds were placed in pens which stood 

 on tables close to the walls of the room. 



In the midst of this Exhibition of Pigeons a snpper-table was 

 spread and amply loaded; and at 8.30 p.m. F. Esquilant, Esq., 

 took the chair, Mr. Wolstecholme being seated on his right hand. 

 After an excellent supper and the usual loyal toasts the Chair- 

 man proposed " the toast of the evening," the health of Mr. 

 Wolstenholme, which was responded to with great heartiness. 

 In the course of the Chairman's remarks, he entered at length 

 upon the upright and honourable character which Mr. Wolsten- 

 holme had all along borne, the kindness and gentleness of his 

 disposition, the good word towards him which was in the mouth 

 of everyone with whom he was acquainted, his ability as a 

 judge of Pigeons, and the lasting obligation which fanciers 

 owe to him (Mr. Wolstenholme), for the beautiful engravings 

 of fancy Pigeons which he has produced — many of them pour- 

 traying the standard points with a fullness and truthfulness 

 which language cannot convey — and the fact of some of those 

 portraits having been the means of inducing many to enter 

 upon the Pigeon fancy. The Chairman then addressing Mr. 

 Wolstenholme presented him with a purse containing fifty 

 sovereigns, as a national testimonial, and a proof of the high 

 esteem in which he is held by Pigeon fanciers. 



Mr. Wolstenholme, much overcome, returned thanks in a 

 modest and becoming reply. 



It is pleasing to think that the old fancier who has been so 

 much respected, and who has done so much for the " fancy," 

 has had his services publicly acknowledged. The testimonial 

 has been subscribed to by the leading Pigeon fanciers of Great 

 Britain and Ireland. 



FOUL BROOD— PARTHENOGENESIS. 



Fkom the hint thrown out at page 373 of the last volume of 

 "our Journal" by my friend the " Devonshire Bee-keeper," 

 whose authority is so much respected, it may be supposed that 

 many or all of my hives are tainted with foul brood, but so far 

 as I am aware there is not one of my stocks in this unfortunate 

 condition. At the present moment I have a dozen in perfect 

 health, and so populous as to make them appear far more like 

 summer than winter hives. In addition to theee I have several 

 other hives devoted to expeiimental purposes. My apiary could 

 not have been more prosperous than it was during the whole of 

 last summer. Indeed I had more bees than I could make use 

 of, and was glad to give the supernumeraries to any friends 

 who would accept of them. When I made my autumnal exami- 

 nation, I was quite sati.'^fied, and an inspection, made Feb. 19th, 

 confirmed the good opinion I had previously formed. _ 



In regard to one of my stocks, I may state that it is now 

 nearly five years old, some of its combs having come from 

 Devonshire in May, 1864. During the summer of 1865 it was 

 situated within 4 yards of a foul-breeding hive, whose down- 

 ward progress I was watching almost daily. Singularly enough, 

 this stock escaped infection, notwithstanding its contiguity to 

 a hive virulently affected by disease. In 1866 it threw two 

 large swarms. In 1867 it gave me a large super of honey, when 

 it was left without sufficient food to carry it through the fol- 

 lowing season ; for on the 11th of April, 1868, when taking a 

 walk round my apiary, I found the bees apparently lifeless, the 

 entrance being choked up with dead bee.«. Not Imving elevated 

 the frames during the previous summer I concluded dta'h might 

 have been occasioned by some other cause tbsu hunger ; but I 

 found on inspection that, every vestige of food lad di-appearcd, 

 and that there were neither eggs nor brood in any of the cellf .
