THE FANCIERs, SHOW A SUCCESS.

The cocks crew and the dogs barked at the Mad
ison Square Garden last evening for the last time
this year. After successful week the exhibition
of the Fanciers' Club closed and the managers are
now busily engaged in count their profits and
paying their bills. From a financial point OF view
the exhibition has been successful as antIci-
pated. The club did not expect to make money,
and probably the receipts at the door will cover
the expenses. About 10000 persons visited the the
show The daily expenses have been nearly 81 900
and between 81 800 and $1,000 have been dis
tributed in cash premiums. 30 that the credit and
debt pages OF the clubs account book will nearly
balance In addition to the cash premiums many
handsome contribution prizes have been given. OF
which some have been on exhibition during the
show.
In point of excellence of the animals ex-
hibited the show has also been successful. The
exhibition of poultry is said to be excellent, espec
ially the light Brahmas and the Plymouth Rocks.
The exhibition of incubaJOrs was also an inter
esting feature During tine exhibition several
thousand chickens were hatched in these machines.
The sales were enormous and will probably amonnt
to between $50, 900 and $50, 900.
