THE 500 GOLD PRIZE

The managers of the poultry show
worked all night. putting the thousands of
birds back in their coops and shipping
them off to their owners At II o'clock in
the evening the many exhibitors who
came from distance set to with rush,
packing up and getting away. Many were
able to take the midnight trains north
ward.
There was a crowd in the hall last night
So many people were there, indeed, that
the public presentation of prizes had to be
given up. The prize Of 500 in gold for the
largest exhibition of poultry was awarded
to c. T. Cornman of Carlisle, Pa. This
was surprise to everybody. as there were
many other large exhibits that had at
tracted much more attention. The Vaward
hinged on the decision Of the judges to in
c!ude bantams as poultry, instead of rating
them as pets. which practically they are.
Mr.. Cornman showed 246 birds. nearly all
bantams Mr.. A. G. Oliver of Newark,
Dol, another bantam fancier. came sec
ond. MIR. Cornman also received the silver
cup given by James Forsyth, president of
of the American Poultry Association, for
the largest and best exhibit.
The system pursued by Mr.. Rackham and
Mr.. Stinman. who arranged the exhibition.
has resulted in about as little confusion ai
was possible. At 3 o'clock this afternoon
there were hardly 200 birds left in the hail.
Not an exhibitor has lost bird, excepting
one hen that came from the express office
last Thursday dead. A big red game cock
got loose this morning. The way the
hicken men caught him showed fine gen
eralship. Without chasing and yelling,
boy opened cage. took out another game
cock and held him out toward the runaway
cock, who turned at once and began to
fight. Another boy then Slipped up behind
and caught him. The beautiful pheasants
and quail were hardest to catch. as their
cages were large and they flew about like
flies. The swan came out of their pen as
docile oxen. The ducks were packed
into their boxes like SO many loaves of
bread.
By inadvertence yesterday it was said In
The Star that the prize of $25 IN gold for
largest exhibit of pigeons was given Brest
Munson, when 1t was DR.. Evans who won
this honor DIR. Evans is eighty-four years
old and one of the leading pigeon fanciers
in the country. He has bred them, he says,
for siXty-four years.
The official awards as arranged by Pres
ident Munson, Secretary Howard and AS
sistant Secretary Feldman follow. MIR.
Feldman. who has lab1fed inccssantly Oh
the bookkeeping of the phow. returned to
his home at IIagerstown ahis afternoon.
