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-DoG, extra fine, awaits in the garden for you, 
young man. For anything else than dogs you can take 
him, if you ean. Send on your bids and leather your legs, 
for he’ll chew your calves to quids. 
Lecuuorn Puters vs. Jewetry. 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. 
Aw Inpran DeLur SHawt 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.
