prize for the largest number Of premiums.
His birds took twenty-four premiums.



shown by Edward 8. Schmidt attracted
much attention. The little birds are ex-
tremely pretty, and being nowadays quite
uncommon, even as pets, they were greatly
admired. The terrific blizzard in February,
1896, practically exterminated the quail in
Virginia and Maryland, SO that sportsmen
the past hunting season saw none at all,
even In their old haunts where they were
cnce plentiful. Strange as it may seem, in
those parts Of the country where the quail
were fostered by farmers and sportsmen,
who fed them, so that they became almost
domesticated and hung about barns and out
buildings-even in those regions the quail
have utterly disappeared. 1t is considered
morally certain that the legislatures of
Maryland and Virginia will this winter pass
laws closing the quail season entirely for
two years and give sportsmen a chance to
import stock and renew their hunting
grounds.
The Attendance.
The attendance throughout the show has
been most liberal on the part of Washington
people. 1t has on no day been less than
1900, and last night there We're 5000 people
present. The attendance yesterday. not
withstanding the cold, was no less and prob
ably more than it was on Saturday. There
has been a rush all day today, due to its
BEING the last day of the show In great part,
and also because of the expectation that the
President and Mrs. Cleveland would attend.
Secretary Howard stated that the receipts
have far exceeded the expectations, and
that the society will go into another year
with a handsome fund in its treasury to-
ward another show.
At meeting of the association last even
ing it was decided to hold another exhibit
ton from January II to 49, 1897. The meet
ing for the election of officers will be held
March 4. 1896.
