CHANTICLEERIAN NOTES.
FOWL PROCEEDINGS ABOUT THE
OLD COURT HOUSE.
Opening Day of the Annual Show OF the
Los Angeles County Poultry AssO-
cietion-The Exhibit Not Yet
Half Completed.

uuo Loe hnkoltS OOuuty IUulIry anSOCih-
tion were only about half filed at A 80
yesterday afternoon when the HERALD
reporter entered the old court house,
but the chanticleerian solos and quar-
tettes that greeted his ear were almost
deafening. The vagabond refrain OF
Ta-rs.ra- -boom-de-ay was nothing COM
pared to it.
The place is as clean as could be ex-
pected and every care is taken to make
the exhibition creditable one. If the
Rip Van Winkle of our pioneer days
could awaken from his sleep of 20 years
and enter that old building, he would
imagine that we had Buff Cochin
county clerk, Langehan sheriff,
White Leghorn assessor and half dozen
Wyandotte hens as board of educa-
tion. The following were the coops up
to O'Clock last night:
LOS ANGELES CITY.
A. E. Oldshausen has very large ex-
hibit of Buff Cochins, Buff Pekin Ban
tams and Partridge Cocnins.
A. f. Power & Co. show very nice
exhibit of Black Minorcas and Barred
Plymoth Rocks.
Robert Rowan has. several coops of
Black Spanish, geeat egg producing
breed,
q. H. Case is one Of the largest ex-
hlbitore, and has very full lines OF
Brown Leghorns, Barred Piymoth Leg
horns and Games.
A. s. Guthrie elbows fine assortment
OF India games, game bantams and Ply
mouth Rocks.
Atkinson & Conklin show q large lot
of White Wyandottes and Plymouth
Rocks.
@. T. Paul's Barred Plymouth Roc ks
will compare favorabiy with any yet
brought in.
II. 9. Dranes is large exhibitor. If
his coops were altogether, they would
rank among the first in quality and con-
stitute whole show in themselves.
Mrs. Robert Dunn is not the largest
exhibitor, but her fowls are all of high
quality. She shows Black Spanish and
White Leghorne.
Albert Barlaison exhibits very hand
some lot OF Houdans.
A. @. Broderson's coops of Buff Co.
chins are good examples OF how fast
those birds grow. They are July birds,
and every one of them will weigh over
SIX pounds.
PASADENA.
w. H. Smith, three coops of White
Leghorns.
John Kuerr, four coops of Brown Leg
horns.
j. Mauverin shows Buff Cochins and
some very fine India Games.
f. w. Phillips has quite collection of
India Games.
E. A. Power sends fine coop of pea
fowls.
@. Longstreet contributes several
coops of games.
James Corbett's name would indicate
that he was not exhibiting any Lang
shans or Buff Cochins. His poultry are
all endowed with pugilistic proclivities
and the one he calls Fitzsimmons is the
handsomest Pit Game in the building.
Black Langshans exhibited by Mrs.
q. B. Smith, as we'll as those of A. E..
Power, are very fine.
MISCELLANEOUS.
E. G. Thurber of Alhambra has q
large and wsll-bred assortment OF Cor
nish-India Games, Buff Cochins, Buff
Leghorns and Plymouth Rocks.
Charles Couch of Sierre Madre shows
O good stock of Barred Plymouth Rocks
and White Leghorns.
Not half the coops are tabled with the
owners name. Somebody has got his
coops ali labeled with advertisements of
some sort of patent -four. As the exhi-
bition is one of poultry, we decline to
give his -four the benefit of free adver-
tising. ALI the coops will be filed by
noon today.
