State Poultry Association was very successful.
There was good number in attendance in the
morning, and the fowl greeted them in their
usual cordial manner. The birds on exhibit
ton have the very best of care. There are a
number of men employed constantly to feed,
water and keep the coops clean. There are a
few of the poultry owners who sent men with
their birds to look after their wants, as horse
man has groom to keep his trotter in good
condition.
There are a large number of poultry fanciers
in attendance on the exhibition. The majority
of them haue birds to sell, and when trade is
dull they collect in the Secretary's Office and
maze loud talk about the ''points' of their ia
vorite "fowls." This may be very entertaining
to Themselves, but it lis anything else to the
Secretary and reporters who are copying pre-
miums.
Among the curiosities in Reception Hall is a
venerable powder horn belonging to Mr.. Clark
Osgood of Cape Elizabeth, and covered all over
with Inscriptions 1t appears that sold Buck
the original proprietor, parted with this branch
ing horu in 1901. christopher Osgood of Or
rell, England, came to America Feb. ye IA,
1854 o. S., and brought Old Bucks horn with
him. The remaining inscription runs as fol-
lows:
Ezekiel Osgood 8, b 17I2 Andover.
Ezekiel osgood 4, b, June We -, 1747, d, 1916.
Isaac Osgood Sept. 16. 1775, did Nov. 80, 1858.
Clark Osgood, born August rs, 1903 in Bluehill,
Maine.
The fine arrangement of the coops and cages
in this hall is very noticeable. Mr.. Fred Fox,
Esq, had the soils charge of the arrangement in
this room, and that his work has been we'll
done is very evident. He has taken much
pains and spent good deal of time at this
task.
The arrangement of the main hall was under
the charge of Mr. R. o. Conant, who has ex-
hibited his usual good zeal in this matter. He
has been ably assisted by Messrs. Harris,
Adams and Others Everything passes off
smoothly under their personal supervision. A
splendid ostrich robe is exhibited in the rear of
this hall. 1t is owned by Mr.. Eli B. Wing of
Brownfeld, and attracts much attention.
The display of dressed fowl and anne by S.
Winslow & Co., IS Market Square, is the finest
ever made in this state. On the long counters,
and in show cases which stretch along the
corridor, and in huge refrigerator against the
wall are to be seen large and handsome speci-
mems of the wild swan, of the black head, red
head canvas-back, and Mallard ducks, Brem-
en- and domestic geese, bronze turkeys, chick
ems, English snipe, pigeons, grouse pin tails,
quail, partridge, and wild turkeys. TheseIare
decked out with garden stuff, and make a very
handsome show. Some of the specimens are
monstrous in size. A brace of bronze turkeys
weigh forty-two pounds, a collection of eleven
other turkeys weighs one hundred and eighty
pounds, and pair Of Bremen geese weigh
twenty-five pounds. Of ten premiums offered
for dressed fowl Mr.. Winslow took nine: four
first premiums and five specials. Above his
collection are many handsome stuffed birds
from the establishment of Mr.. Lincoln 9. Dam
iels taxidermist.
In the evening the halls were perfect jam.
The band played finely and many took seats in
the gallery to watch the surging mass of hui
mainly. During the day and evening there
were $500 tickets taken at the door.
We are authorized to state that all school
children will be admitted to-day for the uni
form price of fifteen cents. 1t would be well
for them to attend in the morning if possible
to avoid the rush in the afternoon.
The directors extend a cordial invitation to
the members of the State Legislature to attend
the exhibition either today or next week.
