THE SWINE BREEDERS
Will Meet in Convention in This City and Organize a State Association Next
 Tuesday and Wednesday.

The swine breeders of the state will gather in convention in this city next Tuesday and Wednesday. A large at- tendance is expected as the railroads have granted a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip.
 The meetings will be held in the Com ,mercial club rooms in the mornings and at night, while the afternoons will be devoted to practical demonstrations of scoring, which will be given at the horse infirmary of pr. French, Twentieth street, between Fourth and Fifth ave- fues.s-.-
 Over thirty head of fine, thoroughbred hogs of the various breeds have been secured for use in the demonstrations to the, scoring class. These hogs alone make an excellent exhibit and will be viewed by many interested breeders.
 The public is invited to attend all of the meetings and there is no charge of any kind except to those who enter the scoring class and receive instructions.
 An excursion is being arranged for the visitors over the entire electric lines for Tuesday afternoon. The excursionists will first go to the North Highlands and View the Highland herd of thoroughbred hogs owned by Messrs Hanby & Wads- worth, which will probably be scored there. They will then proceed to the South Highlands, West End, Ayondale Park, and Fountain Heights and Finally visit beautiful Lake Como, East Lake
