GREAT EXHIBITION OF POULTRY AT INSTITUTE HALL
The second annual exhibition Of poultry, by
the Delaware Poultry Society, opened last even
ing at Institute Hall Last year, the exhibition
took place in the City Hall, and under the great
disadvantage Of want Of room. The hall was
literally jammed with coops, to the annoyance
Of exhibitors and displeasure OF visitors. The
managers, this year, applied for and obtained the
use of Institute Hal, and now enjoy the satisfac-
ton of being able to present to the public one
OF the finest exhibitions of poultry ever given in
the country. The room is well ventilated, and
kept admirably clean, presenting an attractive
appearance to the visitor.
Though the list of contributors Is not large,
yet the extent and variety Of the entries OF
poultry is quite satisfactory. We are Inclined
to the opinion, however, that the managers have
some cause Of complaint against poultry raisers
OF other States in not forwarding as many coops
as were promised still there may have been
shipments that have not yet arrived. We pre-
sent the list cf exhibitors RRd entries made up
