THE CLOSING DAY.

the New Haven Poultry association. The members and officers have worked hard and faithfully to make the show 8 success. It was a frst-class show in every respect and is most creditable to the association and the city. MT. F. s. Platt, speaking of it Sstur- day night as he stood in front of his big col lection of hen persuaders and other goods' said "This is unquestionably as fine as the big Madison Square, New York, show held recently, which I attended. The assortment here is equally as large and there are some frst-class birds here. Tho standard of ex- eellence is higher. There are not so many birds here, but that is because large dealers had there hundreds at lick, for sales. per haps, but as I said, the display here is more meritorious and the standard of excellence higher. Our little city has done as we'll as the metropolis on the hen show business" Mir. Platt was dottes. His Wyandotte coop was fairly plastered with tickets announcing his Wy andotte's victories. There were nine of them on his breeding pen. three first premi- ums and six specials. He won first prize on his Silver Prince Wyandotte cockerel, pro nounced the finest strain in the country. It was purchased by him in Lynn recently. He ! J | breeding pen scored the highest number of points ever made by pen of Wyandottes. Mr. Platt was in high feather. MT. Wooster F. Ensign received first premium for and a special on his fine Wyandotte king of the poultry yard. It fell to his bird after having been awarded to another by mistake. The question is what kind of dyeing mate \ rial is used in Kent for dyeing roosters" I tail feathers for poultry shows. c. P. Jordan won the first prize, fine Winchester rifle, | for having the largest and finest collection in the show. He well maintained his high rep utation as very successful breeder of high | claes fancy poultry, and his white and buff ! imperial Pekin bantams, white crested, white polish bantams, Houdans, etc., which were | instantly admired by all, including every | lady, and his white Leghorns were very ! fine and important feature of the exhibition. He received many premiums. There was no | little dissatisfaction expressed at the judging as regards the dark Brahma variety, many maintaining that the first prize should un- ! occasionally have gone to the noble and al- | most faultless specimens exhibited by E. A. ! Todd, and s. T. Thayer and l.. J. Gaines \ were superior to those that were \ awarded the highest distinctions. | in this field of competition E. A. Todd is al | ways very successful, and even, as it was, took two frsts-one on cock and one on hen land a third premium on breeding pen, and ! MT. Thayer got second on breeding pen and second on hen. John Lloyd's monkey-faceG hen excited the wonder and curiosity of all.
 The show closes tonight at 10 o'clock. I will open this merning and continue opsr all day. Children are admitted for ter ! cents.
