Glasses Completely overtsrped-A Great
Exhibition OF Carrier Pigeons To-day.
Yesterday was a blue-ribbon day at tho
chicken show. The people came steadily all
day. and the presence OF the visitors seemed
TO inspire the feathered exhibits. The laugh
ing geese indulgsd in unlimited merriment.
the frlzzled hens shook their bangs in the best
OF humor. and the pouters forgot to pout
Even the detected guinea fowls made an ef-
fort to appear gay. while the waltzing mice
whrled about with an abandon that
made the bronze turkey feel giddy.
This hilarious condition OF affairs was due
to the fact that about 1000 persons visited the
Garden during the day. Tho crowd ut a
chicken show Is a deceiving one In the matter
OF numbers. People come In. walk through
the aisles. and. after examining tho exhibits.
pass out. There is q constant stream OF per-
sons going In and out, and while the num-
Der in the Garden Is at no time large. at the
close OF the day the attendance is found to be
considerable. e.
The judges have finally completed the work
OF awarding prizes in tho 700 classes. and all
that now remains is for the ine feathers to be
Razed at for two days longer. whom the show
will close and the cackiing cease.
One OF the most interesting exhibits is that
OF the Japanese watzinR mice. Half . dozen
OF these little animals are shown in glass
case near tho entrance. They all keep up a
continuous go-as-you. please gait. scurrying
around the case rs though In search Of some
thing they had lost The exhibitor explained
that the mice were tired. but that after q short
rest they would spin around right lively and
show that they wero entitled to the appella-
tion OF watzing mice.
Tho incubators did nobly yesterday. and
various old hens were green with envy over
the lively manner in which the ieatherless
