FANCIERS' GAZETTE. 



A new weekly paper, with the above title, is announced by 

 Messrs. Cassel, Petter & Galpin, to be published in London, 

 the first number to appear about April 10th. Like the Fan- 

 ciers' Journal, it will treat on all subjects interesting to the 

 fancier. 



It will be under the editorial management of Mr. Lewis 

 Wright, so well known by his various writings on poultry, 

 and more especially his " Practical Poultry Keeper," " Brah- 

 ma Fowl," "Book of Poultry," &c. , &c. In connection 

 with the above announcement, we wish to state that we are 

 indebted to Mr. Lewis Wright, for the title of our own 

 Journal. As will be seen by referring to the prospectus in 

 No. 1, we had long contemplated publishing a weekly 

 Journal, and during the spring of 1873 corresponded with 

 Mr. Wright, with a view of securing his services as a regu- 

 lar contributor. 



It was during this correspondence that Mr. Wright in- 

 formed us that " sometime ago I had thought of starting a 

 weekly paper, and had I done so I would have named it the 

 Fanciers' Journal, but as I am permanently engaged here I 

 will make you a present of the above title." We at once 

 saw its value and had it copyrighted, and hence Mr. Wright's 

 paper will be called the Fanciers' Gazette, he not wishing to 

 create confusion by having two papers of the same name, 

 even in different countries. 



Subscriptions to the Fanciers' Gazette will be received at 

 this office. 



BOOK OF PIGEONS. 



Messrs. Cassel, Petter & Galpin, have commenced the 

 publication of an exhaustive work on Pigeons, by Robert 

 Fulton, to be edited and arranged by Lewis Wright. It 

 will be illustrated by life-like, colored plates, also by numer- 

 ous engravings on wood, by J. W. Ludlow. Mr. Wright, 

 and Mr. Ludlow, are well known to nearly every fancier 



in this country. Mr. Fulton is not so well known. We 

 have visited his lofts (which are models), and have met 

 him at several fairs in England, and are satisfied that what 

 he does not know about a pigeon, is not worth knowing. 



REMARKS ON EXCHANGE COLUMN. 



A bull-doq, extra fine, awaits in the garden for you, 

 young man. For anything else than dogs you can take 

 him, if you can. Send on your bids and leather your legs, 

 for he'll chew your calves to quids. 



Lbqhhorn Pullets vs. Jewelry. Gentlemen, where 

 is your gallantry, and where are your Leghorn Pullets ? 

 A woman — evidently a practical woman — expresses her de- 

 sire to exchange corals and gold for chickens. Turn out 

 your best, for you have wives or sweethearts who admire 

 the jewelry, and she wants eggs. 



An Indian Delhi Shawl is up. Who will take it 

 down, and show his art in placing it about the shoulders of 

 some fair woman? A heart may be caught by that shawl. 

 Two lives bound beneath its fringes into one. Oh, what 

 a flood of happiness can be won by sending on your exhibi- 

 tion poultry. B.
