terest Growing.

The Poultry Show is on in full form.
| All the exhibits are in place and every
coop is full.
| Already the judges have begun their
tours OF inspection and awards are being
made in the various departments.
The attendance yesterday was larger
than that of the day before, though not
up to the expectation of the management.
AS general feathered turnout the show is
ahead of that of last January. In number
and quality of the fowl it triumphs over
the efforts of the pouitrymen last year,
and the general verdict is that the public
should take more active interest in the
display of feathered beauties.
Some of the prettiest birds in the land
are to be found in the long tiers OF coops
| which line the spacious building on four
sides, and there is much to interest those
who are not familiar with the scientific
breeding of high-class poultry.
A new feature was introduced yesterday
in the exhibit of dressed poultry. On
stand arranged specially for their display
were placed several dressed turkeys, ca
pons. ducks and chickens. The lower part
of the standard contained an assortment
of high-class eggs, including those of the
Z s.,
andottes, etc.
Among the exhibits which attract the
most attention is that of the Belgian hares.
To the casual observer they resemble the
jack rabbit. Their structural development
is similar, and the ears are fully as long as
the wild hare of the mountains and plains.
In the east and abroad the Belgian hares
are raised for the market on large scale.
They are considered a great oelicacy
among epicures and take rank with the
capon. They are beautiful animal.
Their fur is long and even, and the win
ming. docile look in their large eyes in
vltes many gentle hand stroke of their
timid heads. They are very timid ami
NAL and become such pets that it seems
shame to raise them for the market. Some
of the bucks and does weigh eighteen
pounds. A family is raised every month
in the year, and in the Eastern markets
the full-grown hares sell all the way from
81 to So.
Including the pigeon and hare entries
the number of fowl on exhibition is far
ahead of last year. The fowl are 1900 in
number. and the value of the prizes is
$500.
The attendance during the evening
showed that an increased interest is being
taken in the exhibition of feathered varie-
ties. During the afternoon and evening

These are the prize birds of the exhibit,
and the competition has given rise to much
speculation. President Scholefeld and the
other officers of the association concede
the Buff Leghorn display the finest ever
seen before in one collection. The special
prize OF $25 for the best single display,
