Fancy Pigeons. 



For judging pouters, a large show pen should always be provided, as 

 it is impossible to judge them properly otherwise ; and unless exhibitors 

 see the process of adjudication for themselves, they should be sparing 

 of criticism afterwards, as pouters, being pigeons chiefly of shape and 

 carriage, look very different when standing on a block, than when on 

 their mettle in the show pen.
