Other Notes OF the Exhibition

Other Notes OF the Exhibition.
The poultry and dog show that has
been conducted by the Rhode Island as
sociation during the past four days closed
last night. While the asso-
citation has been compelled TO con-
tend against many adverse circumstances
the exhibition has been complete
success and it is believed that the finan-
cial return win more than meet the many
expenses that were nccessitated
by such an immense undertaking.
Compared with other shows that have
been given in this state the exhibition
that has just closed was a giant. Besides
the ordinary coops OF poultry the line OF
turkeys, ducks and geese that was shown
was exceptionally fine, while the dressed
poultry exhibit proved TO be most in
struetive and interesting innovation.
Few OF the lovers of dogs who visited
the show, however, had eyes for any other
features OF the exhibition, for it would be
difficult to gather a finer line of animals
in such small space. While the larger
bench shows may obtain more entries, the
classes OF dogs could not be more per-
fectly represented than they were in
Providence this week.
Perry A. Fuller OF Johnson showed his
bull terrier "Louront Kit" dog that
has taken prizes at shows in Baltimore.
Pittsburg, Boston, Chicago and other
places, while the pair OF Boston
terriers that are owned by Il. c.
and s. ID. Sphinx of this city are also prize
winners. B. Alton Smith OF North Attle
boro, Mass, exhibited number of Chesa-
peake Bay duck dogs that were az fine
this city, while the heavy weight
pointers that were shown by Harry Dut-
ton OF Boston have many prizes to their
credit. Andrew l.. Lewis setter dogs, and
especially Prince L., are SO well
known in this section OF the couu-
comment. Everywhere they go they
carry away their share Of the prizes, and
the Providence show was no exception to
the rule Nelson Mcintosh, S. b. Allen,
T. j. Dunn and Wright Buckley also ex-
hibited some fine pointed bird dogs.
An Imported bulldog.
The ladies who visited the hall shud-
dered every time they looked at Robert l..
Keech's imported English bull, but to
derstood the fine points Of the
various breeds the ugly animal was
perfect picture OF grace and beauty.
Already he has taken many prizes and is
one of the best dogs in Providence.
ID. b. Lemley of Saylesville had num-
these was "Imperator," comparatively
young dog that has already taken six
premiums, and the cocker -spAHieis,- from
the Fir Tree kennel, East Providence,
were dogs that will long continue to make
records for themselves.
"Oakley Bruiser" and "Hillhurst Rosev
were two little fox terriers from the Hill
hurst kennel, Wellesley, Mass, and they
have won many honors at New York,
Boston, Newark and elsewhere. The
French poodles from this kennel have
also received prizes at the same shows.
The Meadowmere kennel, South Hamp-
ton, L. J., also exhibited particularly
fine pair OF French poodles, and the col
lies from the Highland ken
mel, Pawtucket, have been prize winners
ct almost every show in this part
Of the country, while even the Canadian
superiority over the local dogs when they
were shown in the Dominion.
The exhibit OF George w. Lowell OF the
Lowell Kennel, Middleboro, Mass, con-
tained large number of valuable dogs,
including "wild Lily" an animal
that has won no less than
at the four shows at which she appeared,
while "Prince of Pontiac" Is an 11-month
old dog that has already been entered in
the open class.
While these are but a few OF the dogs
that have attracted the attention of visit
ors to the show during the past week, they
are fair sample of the class of animals
that wereshown. Few shows OF this charac-
ter that have been held in New England |
have been able to present such list OF en- |
tries, and the members of the association |
are congratulating themselves upon hav-
Ing shown an extremely meritorious |
bench.

higher grade of excellence, and the result
OF their experience is always OF advantage
to those who have neither the time nor
the ability for such important labors,
while the appearance of the birds from
Kingston must tend to improve any
brood in which they are placed.
Soon after 10 o'clock last evening the
dogs and some OF the poultry were taken
from the hall, and the remainder
were removed this morning. The
ear-splitting noise that has re-
sounded through Music hall for
four days Is now silenced, but the MEM
bers OF the association have already COM
menced to make plans for the improve
ment OF the next show, for Secretary
Cushman Is determined that the Rhode
Island society shall retain the reputation
that II has attained from the exhibition
OF '93.
