Prominent Fanciers Present.

l - iSSVnks
Yesterday was another good day for the poul.
try exhibition, and the attendance was larger
than on the opening day. The committee on
the award of premiums finished theiI labors yes
| terday, and we are enabled to give the remain.
| der of the premiums this morning. The spe-
cial premium of $780, gold, offered by Fl. I'll
| Stoddard of Hartford, was taken by George P.
Burnham of Melrose, bis being the only birds
entered for the prize. His birds scaled So and
80 points, respectively, while pair belonging
to Mr. Williams of Taunton, scaled 90A and 80,
but as they were not entered they could not be
considered. The offer was made on condition
that the winner take all birds competing for the
prize, and some exhibitors objected to this and
did not enter.
The contest for the premium of 500 for the
largest and best collection of pigeons owned
and exhibited by one person, was sharply con-
tested for by Messrs Seavey of Cambridg eport,
and Colell of New York. The former had 101
entries, and his birds scaled 173 points, while
the gentleman from the Empire state showed
II entries, which scaled la points. The judges
decided that Mr.. Colelps birds scaled higher
according to the number and he took the prize.
There were two special premiums of $25
each offered for game and fowl The first read,
"Best display of game and dressed poultry"
The second was for "best display of dressed
poultry and game" s. Winslow took the first
as he had large display, but as his game was
not dressed, the second, which was offered by
Mr.. Winslow himself, was taken by Captain
Charles J. Pennell, whose game was dressed.
The result of the competition was the cause of
much comment, bat all appeared of the opin-
ion that the judges were right in the premises.
The Society have already begun to pay pre-
miums, and as fast as the awards are approved
by the committee the exhibitors can get their
money by applying to the Treasurer Such
promptness in paying awards is very unusual.
