1t VIII Open on Monday al Noon.
The ninth annual exhibition of the
Utah Poultry association will open at

The exhibition promises to be the

1t will be tug Of war from opening
to close on the part of the exhibitors,
to establish who has the best speci-
mems Of pure bred poultry Of their re-
speetive kinds" said the sacre tary Iyes-
terday. 1T is nine years now since the
association was organized and we have
held shows each year. but this viii be
our best exhibition. Judging from the
interest that is being Shown it VIII be
q great success so far as birds are
concerned, as there are a great many
who are determined to walk off with
the prizes which will be awarded and
to assure a. greater success we will
have Theau Hews as scoring judge.
And the name OF He'ws alone signifies
to all who are acquainted with that
gentlemen or his reputation that they
will get justice meted out to them IN
the show room on the merits OF their
birds.
Mr.. Hews comes from Missouri, be
ing engaged by the association 10 do
the scoring, and l must say here that
he has no superior as a poultry judge
and very few equals in the United
States. Those who have become ac-
quainted with the merits of birds in
the east when they visit OurEhoW next
week will see that Utah has got as
good stock as can be found anywhere.
FOR instance take the president Of
our association, the genial judge, ".
w. Browning, of Ogden. He is now
teaching the United States now to
breed the popular buff cochin, tPe IA
vorites of the show room. His birds
are being widely sought after and they
always take first prize wherever they
are shown They carried off every
thing in the way Of prizes in their class
at Denver last year, and a Utah cock
ereI headed the pen of birds that took
first honor5 at the show held at Kan
sas City last winter.
MIR. Browning also breeds the cele-
brated Barred Plymouth Rocks, the
ideal of American birds, and if you
don't think there VIII he hot COMPETE
ton in this class, just visit the snow
room and see the $50 beautiful Barred
Plymouth Rocks that will be- on exhi-
b3tion. Mr.. Day, who is breeder of
this variety, also has a number of
beauties. Now, the White Plymouth
Rocks, a great many people say, are
far ahead of their cousins, the Barred,
but to find that out you must just ask
Ed Jones, of the Twenty-third ward,
as he breeds them both to the greatest
perfection. He IS also an artist in pre-
pairing them for the show room. The
larger birds that will be ON exhibition
will be the light Brahmas. The stand
ard weight of the male bird is twelve
pounds. The tug on this variety will
be between Mr.. Earl and our city re-
corder, and it VIII be interesting to
watch which wins.
There are a great many other va
rieties of chickens. There will also be
ducks as large as geese, as the exhibi-
tor from Forest Dale will need two
horse team TO bring them up to town
And turkeys! Did you ever see a top
knot turkey? Well, we will show one
with feathers in his head six inches
long. Those who have seen him say he
is the greatest freak of nature they
ever seen. Besides these there will be
pigeons of all kinds, rabbits, Guinea
pigs, pheasants. ETC.. in great num-
hers"
