ORIENTAL FRILL PIGEONS. 



the smoke I see such fanciers as Joseph Smith, 

 Peter Verdon, J. W. Ludlow, Capt. Dobson, 

 A. Blackmore, T. W. H. Ashton, C. Duckworth, 

 J. C. Fraser, Frank Gibson, Geo. Hall, Harry 

 Kitchen, Geo. Ledson, Whineray, and many 

 others whose names for the moment escape my 

 memory ; all lovers of the Oriental Frill Pigeon, 

 and who spared no expense in promoting its 

 welfare. Alas, few of these fanciers remain with 

 us to-day. Some have long since gone to their 

 last home; others are scattered abroad. There- 

 fore, it is up to the younger generation of fanciers 

 that Oriental Frills, one of the most beautiful 

 varieties of Pigeons in existence, is as well 

 cared for in the future as it has been in the past .
