PRETTY GOOD BIRDS, THESE.
They Scored Well Up to Perfect-C1ose of
the Poultry Show.

The sixth annual exhibition of the
Yarmouth Poultry Association closed
yesterday in a wild snow storm after
three previous days Of very bad weather.
Nevertheless the exhibition was emf
nently successful and the display of su-
perior poultry has well maintained the
reputation that Yarmouth has won
throughout New England.
There were 745 birds in the contest,
and among them the best efforts of Mas
sachusetts and New Hampshire. Maine
has beaten all competition, with the pos
sible exception of light fancy breeds In
which she made no effort. The chief
honors of the exhibit seem to have been
won by Mr.. T. V. McKenney of Auburn,
with his Barred Plymouth Rocks. He
has been equally fortunate in many 9th
er exhibitions.
The excellence of this poultry exhibit
acting examiner for judge fully three
fourths of the birds scored into the nine
ties in possible 100-the perfect bird
which has never yet been reached. The
scorer for this year gave such general
satisfaction for his evident fairness, Mr..
w. D, Atherton of Newton Lower Falls,
Mass, that his services have been en-
gagged for another year in connection
with Mr.. L. A. Knapp of Winchester,
Mass, who served so satisfactorily in
1891. and would have taken part in
Judging the exhibition of '92 but for
| sickness.
The following are additional awards:
