The Poultry Show.

line HOuICry SNOW.
The first exhibition of the Wide
Awake Poultry Club has been held in
the town hall in this place the past
three days. There have been fully one
hundred coops of fine fowls from this
vicinity, with few choice varieties
from New Hampshire and Canada.
OTHER ATTRACTIONS.
Besides the poultry show proper,
there were many other things of inter-
terest in the hall, prominent among
which was the extensive exhibition of
taxidermy by Mr.. c. W. Graham. This
included native animals and birds, and
some rare specimens from other coun-
tries. Among other things was a full
orchestra of a dozen red squirrels which
looked so life-like and cute as to cause
universal attention and commentator.
Besides this exhibition of Mr.. Graham's,
were some guinea pigs by Eddie Chase !;
house cats, by Cornelia Fairbanks, Mrs.
S. Cole, W. L. SWEET and C. S. Hast
ings hens eggs exhibited by Chas. L.
Stevens and c. S. Hastings; dressed
poultry by w. L. SWEET, etc.
The lateness of the day which this
exhibition is held, prevents any notes
on the show, but we think it may be
called successful.
