The display OF pets is very small. An
Owl, blue Jay and few Canary BIRDS
embraced the whole.
Perhaps the most interesting ana
curious specimens on exhibition are Tue
rumpless fowl. They have no tails ana
thoir bodies seem to terminate as ao'
ruptly and unnaturally as that oil Baron
Monchauson's famous horse after the city
gate closed upon him. The FrizzIed
fowl present 4 very beautiful appearance
with their short curled feathers, which
may have furnished the model for the
fringe which ladies wear over their
loreheads.
There are some magnificent turkey
gobblers on exhibition which would tip
the scales at between thirty and forty
pounds.
The various breeds are set forth in the
awards which are givel below. Each
has its partizans and Its special merits.
Never having been engaged in the
poultry business, we do not feel compe'
ten, to speak of the characteristics OF these
fowl, bat hope the many gentlemen who
are represented at this exhibition, will
furnish us with articles concerning their
fayorites, tor publication.
Some amusing incidents always occur
at such gatherings Ole well known
breeder. presented coop containing
two White Cochin Cockerols aud one
pullet for trio.
The constant calling and cackling and
growing, keeps the building in an
proar, and only persons OF strong
nerves or detective hearing, are able to
remain long in the room.
The attendance was not so large as
might reasonably have been expected
but another year, as the matter becomes
more thoroughly known, we shall see
better results.
Mr.. a. L. Shurtleir, President of the
Society, has been untiring in his efforts
TO secure the success of this first exnibi
ton. 70 him, and Mr.. A. c. T. King,
the Secretary, is due much credit for the
abe manner in which all the arrange.
men,s have been made, the systematic
and satisfactory way in which the exhibit
ton has been conducted.
We hope the Society will feel able tC
keep its organization in tact and will give
US another Poultry Show, next year.
