JOUBNAL OF EORTIOULTURE AND COTTAGE GAEDENER. 



133 



getic working Committee aud Secretary. The entries numbered 

 638, an increase of a hundred or so over the last year's Show, 

 and in each of the classes the quality was very good and the 

 competition severe. Cut straw and chaff were the substitutes 

 for sawdust for the pens, which were cleaned out daily before 

 the public were admitted, and every attention possible was paid 

 to the welfare of the poultry, etc. 



There was a good representation of the different classes com- 

 prised in the schedule, some of which merited special attention, 

 especially the Dorkings^ Cochins, aud Gavn-, and the decision 

 of the Judges, except in one or two cases, was satisfactorily 

 received. The silver cup, value £o, presented by the President 

 of the Club (the Marquis Townshend), for the best pen exhibited 

 by a county resident iu the various classes for Game, Haniburghs, 

 iialays, Spanish, and Bantams, was taken by an excellent spe- 

 cimen in the class for Game; aud the cup of the same value, 

 presented by Lord Hastings, for the best pen exhibited by a 

 county resident iu the classes for Dorkiugs, Cochins, Brahmas, 

 French fowls. Any other variety, Ducks, Turkeys, and Geese, 

 was well taken by a fine Coloured Dorking cock. 



The Pigeons were quite up to the mark, and the prizetakers 

 well deserved their awards, especially those in the classes for 

 Carriers, Pouters, Barbs, aud Tumblers. 



The Song Bird classes were well filled and attracted consider- 

 able attention, especially the Canaries. 



The Eabliits exhibited looked well, and the successful compe- 

 titors merited their distinctions.

NOMENCLATURE OF PIGEONS. 



"Turkey Quill" being in his last rather more definite, I 

 can be so too ; but all I could clearly gather from his first letter 

 was that he supposed me by "silver-dun" to mean the silver 

 barred with dun of the Antwerp breeders, which I did not mean. 

 I was also unwiUing to enter into the matter at any lengthy 

 because I do not think that to find fault with a description of 

 any particular bird, in utter ignorance of the bird itself, and 

 whether the description was really correct or not, is the proper 

 way of opening any such general discussion as that of the cor- 

 rect nomenclature of Pigeons, which ia quite capable of being 

 discussed in a general manner. Had "Turkey Quill " seen 

 the bird, and, having seen it, considered my description wrong, 

 his course would have been legitimate enough. I will now, 

 however, clear up the matter as far as I can, and if he still con- 

 siders me wrong, have no wish to complain. 



My own recollection of the hen would be, a very pale, or what 

 I would call " silvery " dun ground colour all over, chequered or 

 rather grizzled with silver on the shoulders of the wings. 

 Being, however, anxious to make no mistake, I have applied to the 

 breeder and exhibitor, who writes me that she has a silver ground, 

 the body feathers being ticked with dun. (I may add that this 

 gentleman himself, when, surprised at seeing her in a Blue class, 

 I asked him what colour he would call her, replied at once 

 " silver dun.") He, however, advised me in his letter to obtain 

 the description of a well-known fancier and dealer in London, 

 which I have done. He, describing her, like myself, from recol- 

 lection, states her to be " a pale silvery dun, chequered on the
