! Temple, Boston, on Wednesday evening, and
the Boston papers speak in terms OF high
praise of the performances of the several

well known as to need no introduction to

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE POULTRY AND PET
STOCK ASSOCIATION.
At the annual meeting of the Wndham
County Poultry and Pet Stock Association,
Wednesday evening" it was found that the
! affairs of the association we're in a very sats-
factory condition. Although seine $40 in ex-
cess Of appropriations was expended in cash
premiums at the last exhibition, there is but
| a slight deficiency in the funds, and that has
been assumed by private individuals. The as
sociation has received high compliments from
various sources its last exhibition is conced-
ed to have been the most successful held in
New England and many of the principal ex
hibitors express a desire to come again. The
adoption of the percentage plan, though
something new, has proved very satisfac-
tory, and improvement will doubtless be
made in the future. l. was decided to hold
another exhibition the irst week in Janu-
airy, 1888, and officers were chosen as fol-
lows; President, j. ], Estey vice presidents,
