The members of the Akron Poul-
try and Pet Stock club will meet al
their rooms in the L. o. o. +. block
Main St.. Saturday evening to take
preliminary steps toward arranging
for the features of the bench show
which will be held here from Janu-
ary2 to 3.
The reason that the date is SO dis
tant is that it would be difficult to
secure the Judge the club wanted
prior to that time. The Judge will
be j. Y. Bicknell. proprietor of the
Orchard Park Poultry farm near
Buffalo. NY.
While no definite decision has been
made in the matter, it is thought
that no dogs will be exhibited at the
show. At the bench show held here
a few years ago the dog department
did not pay very well hence its eX-
clusion.
Among other things to be discuss
ed Saturday night will be the matter
of entry fees for the specimens
whether % cents or 80 cents will be
charged.
The local club has some fine stock,
which will be placed on exhibition.
The object of the club in holding the
show is not alone for the entertain
ing features it may have for the pub
lie, but also to present the merits OF
fine poultry stock to breeders and
fanciers, that it may receive the due
recognition it deserves, and to en-
courage breeders to use care and dill
igence in the selection of such birds
to breed from that will produce the
best results. The deliberations of
the club do not draw the lines so as
to give preference to any particular
breeds, but are liberal enough tu
give encouragement TO all stock pos
sessive of merit.
The club will also devote energy
and expense to make this show the
best ever held here. Fancy and
standard breeds of poultry will be
brought from all parts of the coun-
try, and nothing that will conduce to
the merits of the show will be over
looked.
DIR. J. w. Lyder is president of the
local club, and Samuel Hibbs vice
president. The club has about sc
members.
