Dismal Weather Depressed Spirits Of
Blue-Blooded Chickens.
THEY CACKLED IN SUBDUED TONES
Award of the Handsome Silver
Loving Cup to L. S. Bache.
MORE PRIZE VIM ER S

There was more quiet in National Rifles
Hall this morning than at any time during
the past week. The depressing weather
and the narrowness of their coops are con-
ditions that seem to have affected the
blue-blooded barnyard specimens on eXhi-
btion at the annual poultry show and
the loud crows and cackles that once
made merry the entire neighborhood were
missing today.
The gloom in the hall will be dispelled
this evening, however. when the brilliant
electric lights are turned on, and it is
hoped this display of light and life, al
though it be artificial, will revive the jubr
liant spirits of the prize winners at least
This morning the exhibition hall was very
dark and the chickens were droWsy.
BOOSTING time seemed to them near and
they We're much disturbed at the curious
and continuous gaze to which they were
subjected by the visitors the crowd being
as large as usual, Notwithstanding the dis
NAL weather conditions prevailing overhead
and under foot
