THE SHOW CLOSES TONIGHT
POULTRY T -iSSOCIATION'S MOST SUC-
 CESSFUL EXHIBITION.

Only One Protest Made Against Awards
 About Sixty Chicks Alive in the In-
 cubator-Turkev Excites Great Conn
 petition.
 This evening will mark the close of the poultry show, and it is safe to say that it will also mark the close of the most successful exhibition in the his- tory of the association. It seemed as though this year every fancier and amateur in the state had entered the competition for prizes, and as a result the public were treated to as fine a col lection of fowls of every class as 1t is possible to assemble. There are a few of course who did not receive either prizes or mention, but are very few in- deed, and as a result of their efforts in making the show a success, many Will receive valuable prizes. Few of the exhibitors are dissatisfied with the awards. and all unite in saying that the birds were judged with great fair ness, fine tribute to the judges.
 One protest only has thus far been made against the awards, F. c. Rey- holds contesting the award of the judges of the first premium for breed ing yards of brown Leghorns to c. Lawson of this city. Both exhibits were thrown out.
 The greatest diversity of opinion is shown in the guesses as to the weight of the big bronze turkey, the guesses ranging from seven to forty-two pounds. The greatest curiosity of the whole show is probably the incubator at work in the basement, occupied at present by from fifty to sixty chicks all showing their citizenship by the greed with which they compete for points of vantage in their temporary home. The broken shells present great obstacles to the new born chicks in their exploring expeditions and it is a pretty sight to see their vain efforts to get about.
 On the upper tier the temperature is constantly kept at 1o3 degrees and here the young ones are supposed to hatch and remain until thoroughly dry but many have found their way to the lower part, where the temperature is only about 90 degrees. The eggs, which were bought especially for the exhibi- ton are fine mixture of Plymouth Rocks, Leghorns and others, and out of the ninety eggs it is expected that about seventy of these will hatch suc- cessfully. Of these it is impossible te tell how many will live but c. P. Jor- dan of West Haven, the exhibitor, is in expectation of from fifty to sixty clinging to life

A WOODBRIDGE WEDDING.
Miss Lucy Peck Married to George Eu-
 gene Butler.

Miss Lucy Peck Married to George Eu-
 gene Butler.
 One of the prettiest weddings that Woodbridge has seen for years was the ceremony which united Miss Lucy Peck, daughter of Wales w. Peck, and George Eugene Butler, of Hartford, as Congregational church Wednesday af- ternoon, December 2S. The one thing which marred the pleasant occasion was the inability of the brides father to be present, owing to sickness.
 MT. May was best man. Miss Der nice Chat was the maid of honor. The brides dress was of white silk and was beautiful. The aid of honor was attired in pink organdie and looked charming. Proptly at two o'clock, to the strain of the wedding march, the bridal party moved up to the altar and took the vows. A trained choir under the direction of Professor Walker sang to the pleasure of all present. The groom's fathers present to the couple was a five hundred dollar check to each.
 The ushers were Earl Augur Harvey and Frank Smit hand Charles Peck.
 After the ceremonythe party drove to the home of the bride, where a recep- tion to relatives and intimate friends was held. Among the out of town guests was MT. and Mrs. Henry Fair child, of Meriden; A. T. Peck, of Sey- our; MT. and Mrs. George Peck, of Westville. and Leonard Peck, of New Haven. MT, and Mrs. Butler left in the evening train for a wedding trip. rIt1-A .1. IT. fn. sl

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Sir: II our Mayor wishes

No one objects TO seeing the affairs of the city

the peremptory handling of incompetents who may
DO at the head of our departmental affairs. provided
Il be done with dignity and for cause.
The experience OF the Mayor on the bench must
have taught him not only the difference between
men but tue difference between reason and unreason;
while his experience In life must havo shown him
that the position he now occupies has neither placed
him beyond the necessity for prActioing the common
courtesles OF life nor absolved him from the necessity
of q reasonable course OF conduct.
Furthermore. q careless handling OF names that
have hitherto stood without repr0ach in regard to
public affairs. cannot have any othor effect than to
discredit the Mayors motives with all fair. minded
men. There Is no warrant in reason for any one,
Mayor or citizen. unless he knows OF specific instances
OF malfcasance. to cast such imputation upon the
character OF another as the Mayor Is re ported to have
done yesterday W hen speaking OF the superintendent
OF music In the public schools. II the Mayo does not
know who such superintendent Is. what he Is. and
what he has done for the public Of this city. such ig-
norAnae had better be concealed. for II not only re-
nects discredit to its possessor. but lays him open TO
the same criticism that he has been making on others
from day to day. Furthermore, such utterances as
the Mayor Is reported to have made on this subject

L. Our Navy Ready?

Z The possibility that some unexpected
turn in our foreign affairs may suddenly
plunge us into war naturally has set the
naval authorities to examine their means
OF meeting such an exigency.
Considering the rapidity Of action which
signalizes modern fighting, we should rely
only, OF course, oil the ships completed.
Even the Kentucky and Kearsarge would
not be counted on, while the Wisconsin.
Illinois, and Alabama are absolutely out of
the question. Probably most of the torpedo
boats could be hurried into service from the
yards where they are now building, and the
same is true of several good ships now
under extensive repairs, like the Chicago
and Atlanta.
But the question whether the navy is
ready refers not to vessels building or re.
pairing, but to those that nominally are fit
for immediate service. Are they thoroughly
ht3 Mr.. ROOSEVELT lately has pointed out
some details in which our navy is behind
the times. The first is the use of old.type six.
inch guns, where other navies employ the
rapid-6re type, thereby securing an enor-
nous Increase of battery power; another is
a want of sufficient reserve ammunition;
a third, the lack of underwater torpedo
tubes, which, however, probably will be
supplied to future ships a fourth, the
lack Of dry docks for the accommodation of
our big b~attleships; a fifth, the lack of q
suficient number Of w~ell-equipped repair
nlantS ut stations along the coast; q sixth,
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1898-01-29

the need Of an Increase 81 the enlisted force,
90 that all our ships could be manned, with
some provision also for the Subsidized
merchant marine and In THE increase care
should be taken TO secure y strong force OF
warrant machinists, so as to relieve the
commissioned engineer force In a part OF
their routine duties.
But the real point Of Importance as to
these and perhaps other improvements
seems to us to be that they can be made, and
most Of them will be made, In season for
any exigency likely to befall. The supply
Of ammunition and the conversion of the
six.inch guns into rapid.fre pieces could go
on very fast, and the latter is progressing.
So, too, the big dry docks at Brooklyn and
Port Royal can be made ready In a short
time for our very heaviest battleships. The
addition Of enlisted men requires only an
act Of Congress a few lines long.
A provision for future ships ought to DO
made. with q supplyo Of armor for three still
under construction; and new docks, too,
must be built. For moro perfect efa-
cheney now. with what We
have at hand, there are certain things to
be cared for forthwith. And yet our navy,
however soon 1t may be called upon, can
give an excellent account Of itself.

The e Writer.

The %subjoined letter is manifestly de.
acient In specification:
"To TIE EDITOR OF THE sux-Sir: I am taking the
liberty of writing to ask II you would kindly state
whom you consider the best living writer Of to-day,
either prose or poetry. This will be Of great assist.
anoe in settling an argument a. Il has been agreed to
leave the decision TO you. L. CRANE.
"51 EAST 1871 STREET."
How can one be called best in a pro-
fession of such multifarious VARIETY
There flourish too many kinds of writ
ing to justify the styling Of any one
writer as "best," except in the case of
some ~momentarily unapproachable genius
whose quality forbids the very thought
of rivalry. For example, the best living
writer for intellectual elevation and ele-
gance of mechanism is RUsKIN; but he
writes no more. The most picturesque and
stirring writer is RUDYARD KIPLING. Prob
ably the best and most perfect for poor
and silly writing is WH1TELAw REID.
Certainly the best mendacious writer Is
LARRY GopKIN. And the best writer In
the way of practical performance is the
Western reporter-we have forgotten his
name-who, his champions boast, can grind
out ten columns a day.
And there are Others.
