group is a big Brahma. imported from

Cochins we're all more or less admired.
The Mediterranean fowls comprise a
class Of great variety under the heading of
No, g. Leghorns, white-fGeed Spanish,
AndausiaD and black Miuorcas, originally
from the shores of the Mediterranean. are
here gathered together. and they fill one
half OF the main floor. The buff Leg horns
came into existence only three or four
years ago in England through scientific
breeding and are now the rage in America
There is one almost perfect specimen of
the new breed On exhibition large buff
rooster from England, without speck of
black or white.
The main characteristics OF these fowls
are tremendous COMBS and tails and a
hood of feathers giving their necks the
appearance of being larger than their
bodies. 1t makes little difference what
the variety is, whether buff or black or
brown. they are all the same peculiar,
looking chickens. A dozen or so
black Spanish fowls wi tn weird white
faces ana pendent lobes fully two inches
long and fiery red cuInbs of wonderf ul
proportions are shown. The black Mi
norcas in this class are handsome birds.
and also have the reputation of being the
most seTvceabie and most prolific OF eggs.
For curious fowls the Polish white
crested rooSlerS and hens shown in class
stand alone. These are spruce aud
active birds of light frames and wear
plumes or topknots as large as chrysan-
themums. They were promptly dubbed
football boys" when the show opened
yesterday morning, and probably from the
suggestiveueSs of their white plumes rising
from black bodies they attracted constant
attention. The golden. silver. white
bearded and buff-laced Polish fowls wore
pumes or boards, looking like French
p0odlas behind the screen.
In class the French varleties-the mot
tied Houdans and black La FIeche-bore a
close resem blance to their Polish neigh
bors, but had a little more color and
looked FARMER.

lavishly In class s. Many of them are
brought from Vermont for the show, and
all of them are very pretty birds.
White Dorkngs, silver, gray and col
ored Dorkings of class were good dis
play of typical English fowls. But the
game birds of class s proved by far the
more interesting collection. The Cornish
Indian games surprised people by their
eaglelike aspect - powerful limbs. fat
breasts, broad square backs and very
little tail, the legs far apart and
coming square into the body Phey are
pretlily co0red, smooth and glossy, and
stand motionless watching the many eyes
outside their cage. Though not an at
tractlve variety, they weigh as much as
eleven pounds, and any of them have
enough meat on their breasts for good
meal.
Among the bantams shown in class 9
are some game roosters with gorgeous
plumage, but other wise the little birds are
bright and full of life, and for that reason
proved quite entertaining. Beside them is
typical "chicken"-that is. gameeock
brea for fighting. He has fierce spurs and
temper that makes him show fight when
other fowls would crouch in the back OF
their cages.
The pet stock and pigeons were not
fully represented yesterday. but all entries
will be in to-day.

Now the auction concern makes bold
front and offers 10 handle the crop for 2
per cent less, and the growers jump at the
conclusion that they are TO reap the benefit.
To the contrary. they are the real sufferers,
as the price at which their fruit is disposed
OF at the block is so much lower than that
which they received last year thatthe2 per
cent difference is absorbed, and a loss
must necessarily ensue
''As regards the commission houses, they
are required to accept 10 per cent and sell
according TO the market established by the
auction. OF course. they will lose heavily,
and as for the public, the difference in
figures will hardly be noticeable"
The average price realized at the sale
Wednesday was 81 70 per box. The same
goods placed on the market Yesterday
brought So. The firms independent of the
auction are forced to ask at least 50 80 per
box in order to derive a slight profit at
wholesale, having purchased at private
sale according to the status of the market.
They are now forced TO conform with the
lower schedule. and in time the growers
will feel the effect. when they, too, will be
required to dispose of their crops upon the
same terms as demanded by the syndicate.
