ted for these birds. but P. Fl. Scudder,
of Long Island, who has been selected
as judge of them, expects one OF the
finest showings ever made. The ideal
breed indorsed by the American
Plymouth Rock club last year has
many prototypes in the fowls entered
from the east. President James For
sythe, of the American Wyandotte
club, says that the Wyandotte birds,
this year will be from the yards of the
most noted breeders in the United
States. He has called a meeting of
the club for February 10, at Madison
Square garden, during the progress of
the show. The National Bantam as
sociation meets on the evening of the:
same day, and it has already offered,
through President C. E. Rockenstyre,
some fifty special prizes for bantams
alone. The New Jersey State Poultry
association will also have meeting
at the Madison Square garden during
the continuance of the show. Presi-
dent A. A. Parker says that the most
noted birds bred in New Jersey will be
exhibited.
The Idlehour poultry yards, where
the Vanderbilts rear SO many Of their
barnyard beauties, will contribute a
quota of Javas, and among the Minor
cas-, both black and white, will be sew
eral of a late breed Those fowls are
always among the most difficult to
judge, and great care has been exer-
cised in selecting their location in the
garden. They will be wellplaced near
the Langshans. The Andalusian,P Polish,
Dorkings. Houdans and Javas are to
be in division by themselves, and L.
G. Jarvis, the Canadian judge, will de-
eide the merits of the contestants.
Mrs. James A. Garfeld's Mentor yard
is conspicuously evident among the
Hamburg specimens, while Red Caps,
Creve Ceur, Houdans, La Fleche are
a few of the feathered monarchs to be
admired. The Grants will not show
this year, as Mrs U. S. Grants re-
moval to California hindered the rear
ing of exhibition poultry. Ward Nc
Allister is expected to take several
prizes from the show to his Newport
farm, and the breeders of Malays will
give George w. Weed, who is to be
judge of those birds, several knotty
points to settle.
The pigeon department will show
Carriers, Pouters, Pigmy Pouters,
Barbs, Short Faced Tumblers, Jacob
ms and Trumpeters, with some half
dozen Of the less known varieties, in
Guiding Chinese owls. African owls
and English owls. There will also be
an extensive showing of Fantails. The
well known names include Gov. Syl-
vester Pennoyer, of Oregon; DIR. J. S.
Rittenhouse, of Pennsylvania, and the
Havemeyers. The magpies will not
be as numerous as was expected, but

swallows will be shown in black. blue,
yellow and red plumes. A heavy en-.
try of Antwerps speaks well for that
department The pigeon judges are:
Z. j. Campbell, of Centerdale, E. l.;
Joseph D. Gavin, of Maiden, Mass; J.
c. Long, of New York; John Glasgow,
of Railway, N. j., and William Stan
ton, of New York, and it will be seen
that only experts will award the prizes.
The American Jacobin club. which
meets at the garden during the prog
ress of the show, will take suitable &C.
ton in the matter OF prizes. President
A. b. Hoskins will preside and the
members of the club will make a very
large showing.
At the close of the show, on the 18th
of February the birds will be removed
cxpeditiously and exhibitors need have
no fears for their stock. But no spec.
