LARGE POULTRY EXHIBITS
THE DISPLAY BY THE NEW HAVEN
 POULTRY ASSOCIATION.

tendance Yesterday.
 The fifteenth exhibition of the New Haven Poultry association, which was in progress in Banquet hall. Chapel street, all day yesterday was success in every respect. The weather was very disagreeable, and in consequence ot It there was not quite as large an atteh- dance as there might have been In pleas- ant weather, yet the attendance was fair one all day, quite large number of ladies being present in the atternoon and evening,
 Long before one reaches the building where the exhibition is being held the growing of cocks and the clucklng or hens makes it evident to one that ne has arrived into the domain where ms gaIlinaceous majesty, Chanticleer, holas sway. On the inside of the building II seems as though the music of all the barn yards in Connecticut had been col lected together and compressed Wlth- in the compass of a single building But it is probable that most Of these high toned and well bred fowls would feel highly insulted to be called com mon barn-yard fowls, They come 10 New Haven from the best improved ana most scientifically conducted hennerles in Connecticut. And many of them are both wonderful and beautiful. The eX- hfbit of Coloel R. J. Hamilton of spring field. Mass, is one of the most notaole. Ii consists of 100 Polish fowls of diff ferent varieties. It is said to be the largest collection of Polish fowls in the United States. In these days or chrysanthemums Polish fowls are all the go" among chicken fanciers. Ihe crests on many of them are remarkaple' On one variety the body plumage IS coal black, while the crest is pure white, decorating the head like large white rose. The buff laced and golden Polish fowls are also very pretty.
 Hunt & HolrAes of Shelton took three first premiums on their exhibition of golden Seabrights, and one first and one second premium on their exhibition or silver Seabrghts.
 Wooster P. Ensign of this city has very fine exhibition of oty game bantam fowls. He won two st, two second, five third, four fourth and four fifth premiums

 MT C. P. Jordan's exhibition of Amer ican Dominics was noticeable.
 Hendrick & Reynolds of shelton had a fine exhibition of black tailed Japs, golden Seabright bantams and silver Seabright bantams.
 The pens that attracted the most att tention were those of J. D. Hubinger of this city, who has some pheasants, which are well worth careful observa- ton. There are silver pheasants, ring neck pheasants, Lady Amhersts and golden pheasants. The golden pheas- ants are specially attractive. The male bird carries off the honors of this species, his plumage being very bright. The Lady Amhersts have tails as long as the train of court beauty. The other varieties are exceedingly graceful, and their smooth plumage has every appearance of good care and careful breeding.
 These royal birds have the place of honor al the center of the hall
