and Exhibits.
Upon entering Armory hall this morn
ing was one likely to be struck with the
impression that he was entering repub-
lican club room after election. Such a
confusion of notes from the throat of the
bird that screams bis victory was never |
heard in one hall in Rock Island before.
From the little. but not less self-impor |
tant shrek of the game bantam, to the
hosrse crow of the clumsy big Brahma,
came the farm yard sounds. Yet the
fowls which have found their way there
are not such as rule the roosts of the or
binary chicken coop. They are thor
oughbreds, all, and come from various
parts If the northwest, having been
brought here to be placed on exhibition
in connection with the second annual ex-
hibition of the Northwestern Illinois
Poultry association. which opened at
Armory hall this morning, and continues
until Saturday evening.
The coops are all nicely arranged and
there were up to noon today, five hun.
bred chickens in the hall. the value rang
ing from g. to SIS apiece. There are a
number of ducks and turkeys as well as
pigeons on exhibition, and tomorrow
canary birds and Guinea pigs are expect-
ed. to be introduced as side features.
