A SUCCESSFUL POULTRY SHOW.

SUCCESSFUL POULTRY SHOW.
The secord annual POULTRY show of
the Dapbury and Bethel Poultry Asso-
citation closed on Saturday evening, De-
cember IL, about 10 o'clock. The at
tendance was much larger then last year
and still there was room for much
larger number of people. The Armory
hall is a large Conmedious room we'll
adapted to, and convenient for show OF
the kind. The coops were of uniform
size, light and roomy only now and then
bird Was tall enough TO reach the can
vas top. A happier lo5 of chicks never
stood to be looked at. They cackled and
crowed and it Vas hard telling which
made the most racket In the evening, the
band playing or the chickens. The fact
of the case was the chickens beat the
band, which appeared to be out of place
and it was surely failure. Some of the
finest birds in the country came to Dan
bury to have say in the show and they
carried away few of the laurels but not
more than their share. DanburY poul-
try raisers were credit to the town and
it is surprising to find in the town such
fine showing of g >ed birds large and
we'll kept. There was special attractions
for the chi dren, who took lively inter
est in all going on. Joe Thomas show
of tony birds WAS rare and pretty, some
late importation from France and Cuba.
The South America White Face Ring
Tail Monkey capped the climax, pleasing
the little folks. Judges D. A. Nichols
and P. II. Scudder completed their wock
on Friday and give pretty general salts
faction. A few thought one of the
Judges eye glasses magnified more than
necessary hair on the toes or black
feather in the tail disqualified large
the breeders will be up with the times.
A new Judge sometimes open their eyes
to little faults.
Bethel breeders exhibited few high
scoring birds, Bailey & Stone, j. S.
Mayhem, Judd Brothers, Ammi w. Car
| ter and William Birrell all made a good
showing and will probably increase their
varieties next year. Visitors On Friday
