ONE SATISFIED.

Exhibitors From all Over Kansss Express
Themselves as Pleased With the Manner
In Which it Was Conducted-Secretary
Dutton, OF This City, has His Hands Full
Affair Was the Largest Ever Held in
This City-Over Seven Hundred Fowls
On Exhibition. and They are of the Best
Blood ObtainabIe.
The sixth annual exhibition of the Ar
kansas Valley Poultry and Pet Stock as
sociation closed last night after the most
successful show they have ever held.
Last year, when the fifth annual exhi-
bition was held, a large percentage of
the premiums were paid before the ex-
hibitors left the premises and the affair
was conducted with absolute fairness
and impartiality, and when preparations
were being made this fall for the exhi-
bition just ended, Secretary ]. r. Dut-
ton was deluged with letters concerning
the entry of birds. There are exhibitors
from all over central and southern Kan
sas present and many Of them say that
if they had known what kind of show
was to be held they would have brought
quite number more specimens of their
choice birds.
Far above any Of the other breed in
point of number stand the plymouth
rock. There Were three times as many
specimens % this variety as any other,
and the contest over prizes correspond
ingi5S sharp. The prize on best cockerei
had to be divided, two fowls having tied
on the score.
Among the partridge cochins some
very fine specimens were present, one
pullet weighing nine pounds.
There We're not so very many turkeys
present but the contest was not slow
between the specimens on exhibition.
One fine gobbler belonging TO a trio
which had taken first premium at Sedg-
wick City, in the Harvey county poultry
show, weighed thirty-seven pounds, but
unfortunately. he did not capture a prize
among the others which were there as he
fell below just little in the score
Mr.. F. w. Hitchcock of Denver. Colo,
was the judge, ana his work was by no
means light. He had several assistants
10 bring the fowls 10 him and return
them to their coops again while he took
each fowl and carefully passed upon the
points of eXceilency each possessed. The
scoring was done as carefully at is was
possible to do it. and Mr.. Hitchcock is
an unquestionable authority on poultry
of all kinds.
The scoring was completed during Fri
day and Mr.. Dutton has been busy from
the time the smore cards were handed
him until late last night, and ii was only
by considerable work that a complete
prize list was procured. To Mr.. Dutton !
