PRACTICE VERSUS PROFESSION. 



BKOSILEY POULTRY SHOW. 



The second attempt at a poultry show at Bromley was in 

 quantity and quality a success. But how about management ? 

 The Treasurer has long been known as a poultry theorist, criti- 

 cises all, yet it would seem that self-knowledge and self-criticism 

 would be the most applicable in this ill-conducted business. 



Ist. A bird, value i'lio, stolen. 



2nd. No receipt given for bought pens. 



3rd. No notice sent to owners of sold birds, who anxiously 

 waited their return. 



4th. The SelUng Pigeon class omitted altogether in the 

 official prize-list. 



5th. The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company 

 distinctly and in writing deny that auy authority was given for 

 the publication that birds would returned on their line free, 

 thus deceiving exhibitors, who now have to pay, and may have 

 been induced to send peus they otherwise would not have sent. 

 Further comment is needless. — Reportkii. 



NEGLECTS BY POULTRY-SHOW SECRETARIES. 



I ENTERED two pcus at the late Cannock Show, and included 

 in the post-office order Id. for a catalogue, and wrote across the 

 bottom of the certificate of entry that 1 had enclosed Id. for cata- 

 logue, to be sent off the first day of the Show. My two pens 

 were exhibited, but to my surprise the catalogue had not 

 arrived three days after the Show opeucd. Uf course I wrote 

 to the Secretary, asking the reason, and told him that I expected 

 it would be sent off immediately, or, if it could not be sent, to 

 return stamps, less one for postage — but no reply or notice 

 whatever. I waited a few days, then wrote again — still the 

 same treatment. Then another exhibitor called upon the 

 Secretary at Penkridge. He was not at home, but he left word 

 about the catalogue — still the same effect. Again I wrote, 

 experiencing the same neglect as before. I think that secretaries 

 of shows, having money entrusted to them, should at least send 

 (if they intend to send at all) the second day of the show. It is 

 very well for a man to jump at the idea that he can conduct a 

 show, but he should see that its details are carried out properly, 

 BO that there may be no disappointment to those who have en- 

 trusted their money to him. Another exhibitor, who won a cup 

 there, did not know till ten days after the Show. He was 

 depending on my catalogue being sent. — George Roden, PenUf 

 ■near Wolv&rhampton. 



[We insert the above as one of many similar complaints. 

 The least that an honest secretary could do would be to return 

 the stamps, deducting one for postage. — Ens.] 



REMOVING FOWLS FROM THE LATE BRISTOL 



POULTRY SHOW. 



I WAS induced to exhibit a few pens of Dorking pullets, having 

 a wish to see my birds stand side by side with others, so that I 

 might be enabled to judge of their merits. On entering the 

 Show on Saturday I found that my two pens of pullets had 

 been highly commended, and both claimed ; but guess my 

 surprise to find that one pen of birds was taken away, not- 

 withstanding the rule laid down that birds cannot be re- 

 moved before Tuesday morning. Will auy single-minded ex- 

 hibitor say I have been fairly dealt by? I have asked for 

 the addresses of the purchasers of each pen, and that has not 

 been granted me. I have had birds claimed at the Birming- 

 ham and Crystal Palace Shows, and have invariably been 

 furnished with the name of the purchaser. My object in speak- 

 ing thus through your Journal is the hope that such errors will 

 not again be repeated. — A Loveb op Fair PiiAT. 



THE CORAL-EYED PIGEON. 



Anyone who has paid attention to the subject will have per- 

 ceived a great diversity in the colour of the iris in the eyes of 

 Pigeons. The Tumbler, Barb, and Jacobin should both be 

 clearly white or pearl-eyed ; the Pouter should be orange-eyed ; 

 and the Carrier has a bright red or fiery eye, but nothing to 

 compare in brilliancy to the eye of a Pigeon bred in India, 

 which the natives call the " coral eye." I have seen many of 

 them, and the colour in all cases was light blue with black bars ; 

 the size about the same as a Flying Antwerp, and with a stout 

 but not wattled beak. The iris of the eye is of the colour of a 

 ruby of the finest " Pigeon's blood " tint, and so brilliant and 

 pure that it can be distinguished, and in fact calls one's atten- 

 tion, at the distance of 3 yards or more. — J. C. Lyell, 



NORTHERN COUNTIES COLUMBARIAN SOCIETY. 



The annual meeting of the above Society was held at the 

 Cathedral Hotel, Manchester, on the 19th inst. The Secretary 

 laid before the Committee a most satisfactory report of the 

 finances of the Society, also of an increase in members. Mr. 

 Ernest E. M. Royds was re-elected President; Mr. J. B. Binder 

 and Mr. T. H. Ridpeth the Vice-Presidents. The Hon. Secre- 

 tary is Mr. W. R. Haycroft, 215, Lower Broughton Road, Man- 

 chester. The Society has now about fifty members, and in some 

 varieties of Pigeons is very strong. It has done nothing more 

 about the challenge, but hopes are entertained that it will be 

 effected this year. 



Oxford Poultry Show. — The date for the third Show is fixed 

 for the 28th and 29th of October. The late Show having finan- 

 cially, as well as in point of numbers and quahty, proved a 

 success, it is proposed to increase the value of the cups and
