A Lively Discussion Over Next
Years Show Place.
The poultry raisers of the state are
fne-Iookng body of men. judging from
those attending the annual meeting OF
the state poultry association at the
Windsor hotel last evening. They are
evidently men who take fresh eggs for
breakfast every day and spring
chicken for dinner the year round.
Prior to the business meeting the gen
tlemen in attendance took supper IN the
hotel ordinary. President Leslie Pariin,
of st. Paul, was in the chair during the
business session. Secretary George c.
Sherman, of Minneapolis, was. also on
hand. The new members admitted

Considerable discussion arose as to
the place of holding the next annual
poultry show. The rival advocates OF
st. Paul and Minneapolis showed SOME
feeling in the matter. Some claimed
that Minneapolis would bring a better
financial success. Others claimed that
Minneapolis had asked for it again last
year with the promise that it should go
to st. Paul next year. 4, A ballot was
finally taken, which was announced as
2S to IL in favor of Minneapolis.
A motion was then made toreconsider
this vote. II was then claimed that the
Minneapolis men had come prepared
with proxies and that st. Paul men had
been led to believe that they were to
have the show next year. otherwise fifty
proxies could have been readily secured
for ST. Paul. The fact that number of
new members had given proxies before
being present was referred to with some
feeling and with the claim that such
proxies have not been counted. 1t was
asserted that to go to Minneapolis
for three years i'll succession would
result in breaking up the association.
1t was also asserted that st. Paul breed
ers built up the association, and that
the meetings should alternate. The
claim that shows had been successful
because held in Minneapolis was re-
futed. The vote for location was recon-
sidered.
Mr.. Morgan stated that he under
stood that the contest over Location
grew out of question of officers.
After some further discussion the
members talked the matter over in
groups. Good nature was restored. and
st. Paul was unanimously selected as
tie place of holding the next poultry
show. and the time agreed to be for one
week ,AeginninL Jan. 4, next. The Of
ficerS elected were:
Leslie Paflin, of st. Paul, president;
E. l.. Everett. of Minneapolis, vice
president; George g. Sherman, of
Minneapolis, secretary; T. l.. Nirgan,
of ST. Paul, treasurer. The directors,
selected by congressional districts.
were as follows; G.. E. Luce, of
Owatonna; John &. OsmansoD. OF
Nerstram; W. A. Gates, of st.
Paul; Ii. B. Shamp, of Minneapolis;
F. W. Mayman, OF Sank Rapids. The
auditing committee to examine the re-
ports Of officers consists OF MeSSrS. Z.
Bracket, of Minneapolis; Frank Ben
ucT, vi MlulcdpUltS, dllu u. u. l1OSdli,
of st. Paul. 1t was moved that the sec
retary be allowed a salary of $50 a year
hereafter.
The judges at the next poultry show
will Ue: d. n. Pierce, of indianapolis,
Ind, and l.. II. Feleh, of Natick, Mass.
w. A. Gates offered resolutions rela-
tive to seading a poultry exhibit to the
Columbian exposition and to ask for an
appropriation by the commissioners OF
Minnesota to the amount of & per cent
of the state appropriation. The resolu-
tons were agreed to- and Leslie Parlin,
president of the association: q. ID. Hol-
den. of OWatonna. and +. Benner, OF
Minneapolis, were named as commits
tee to carry the resolutions into effect
and to arrange for the exhibits.
Resolutions offered by Mr.. Gates were
approved. which protested against the
selection of L. Farrar Rackhan, of New
jersey, as superintendent OF the poultry
exhibit at the worlds fair on the theory
that he has not been long resident of
the United States, and Is not in touch
with accepted methods of Judging poul-
try. The resolutions embodied a rec
concentration of B. n. Pierce, of Indian
apolis, as superintendent.
The matter of selecting space for the
exhibits at the worlds fair was left to
the committee chosen on exhibits. The
association declared in favor of having
the exhibits limited to 500 birds, and
that none be sent that do not exceed 80
points in merit.
The association adjourned in good
humor, Notwithstanding the interestOver
the place of holding next winters poul-
try show.
