The opening of the poultry show of
the Worcester Fur and Feather club,
in Mechanics hall, yesterday, was the
most complete ever offered sightseers
on an opening day. The display of
poultry exceeds in variety and choice
breeding any previous effort of the
club, and hundreds of visitors filed
through the aisles in Mechanics and
Washburn halls yesterday.
Mechanics hall is filled with cages,
and hen fanciers are offered the newest
things in egg hatchers by enterprislng
exhibitors of incubators. The Franklin
typewriter is exhibited, and Joseph
Breck & Co. of Boston have an ex-
tensive display of incubators. The
pigeon display is one of the largest
ever shown in this country, and more
than half of Mechanics hall and part
of Washburn hall are used in exhibits.
Ducks, geese, turkeys, fancy bred
cats that delight the ladies, parrots,
peacocks, foxes, Guinea pigs, rabbits
and canaries form departments in
which all find interesting individual
displays. The exhibitors include men
who have followed the poultry show
circuit for many years with premium
winners. and the judges are the best
