A Single Protest.
But one protest occurred. f. J.. Morris
of Richmond thought his brown Leghorn
hen should have been second above DIR.
Dorscy's. Under the rules the man who
protests must deposit s. TO he forfeited if
his protest is not sustained. and returned
IL the judgment is set aside. Four judges
were called IN, scored the two birds and
sustained the original scoring. Secretary
Howard told Mr.. Morris the result, and
said that the executive committee of the
association, desiring to be generous, as
we'll as just. had voted to return him his
forfeit. This, however, Mr.. Morris decin-
ed. and. becoming excited. charged the
judges and officers OF the associa ton with
unfair dealing. AS all the exhibitors eN-
press satisfaction with the judges, Mr..
Morris had little sympathy in his objection.

miscellaneous.
Among visitors in attendance on the show
this week was p. H. Jacobs of the Poultry
Keeper
All through the show slender. fair haired
boy has been seen sketching the prize win
Eers. This was Louis Graham of the Farm
JIG urnaf recognized as one of the best poul-
try artists in the country.
Among poultry newspaper men at the
show is Wallace barrow of the Fanciers
Review.
J. H. Drevensledt, editor of the American
Fancier, attended the meeting of the Ameri-
can Poultry Association, and was a daily
visitor at the show, which he pronounced a
good one all the way through.
B. A. Fox, one of the originators of the
American Poultry Association, and editor OF
the Southern Poultryman, spent the week
at the show, and, in his own peculiar way
tried to induce northern breeders to migra e
southwark to the cline where combs freeze
not and eggs come in winter as well as sum
mer.
Most of the exhibitors from a distance
| were glad to have the show come to an end
| Their birds had. many of them, been coopet
| through three shows, and were beginning tl
show the wear and tear of it.
One of the prettiest things at the show was
| an album of feathers prepared by j. II
| Bridges from contributions from noted
| breeders and from prize swimming fowls.
Yesterday and today one of the incuba tol
| men has been doing a neat business in sell
| ing chicks. He puts them in a nice paste
board box provided with air holes and man,
| a boy makes himself happy by an invest
ment Of ten cents in a chick.
| One of the wild geese, contrary to tn,
usual conduct of their kind, made nest O.
| the sawdust in her cage and laid an egg
