8 FOREWORD 



publication of descriptive standards and illustrations of several 

 of the more prominent of the Fancy breeds. This has been 

 primarily to show off these grand birds and to endeavor to 

 interest more breeders in keeping a few fancy birds. The more 

 good fellowship we can create l)Otween tlie lovers of the 

 utility and of the fancy tlie greater is our chance, and at least 

 the hope of the writer, to bring nioi-e birds to our leadhiR shows 

 and make these shows wider in scope and not merely have 

 them favoring, for the greater iiart, either the fancy or the 

 utility. 



To those wlio have so kindly given us the pictures used in 

 making the illustrations in this l)Ook, I wish to express my 

 sincerest thanks. May I not mention the names of tlie follo\\ing:

It is indeed gratifying to know the true siiirit of co-operation 

 that exists among the pigeon breeders of this countiy and great 

 credit is due to those who went to so mucli trouble to assist the 

 author for they have manifested a spirit, which if it is shown 

 in other branches of our fraternity, is bound to bring the pigeon 

 industry up to a higher plane and make it even more attractive 

 to the novice.
