THE POULTRY SHOW.
a Large Nsmbsr ofRouI. usr. E.hibI,s,
Last Week.


The first annual show OF the Yelling
ton Poultry association, held in the
Town hall the last three days Of last
week, drew quite q large number Of
exhibitors together with the result
that four or FIVE hundred very choice
fowls were brought into competition
for first and second prizes. The disa-
pointing feature of the show was the
lack Of interest shown by the public
and the small attendance in eonse-
quence.
Premium money, amounting to tl5S
was paid out, se5 Of which went to ex-
hibitOrs not belonging to the club.
Besides the poultry, white cat, hom-
ing pigeons, an oppOsum and q number
of dogs were shown. Those who ex-
hibited dogs were Will Robinson, R.
d. FoOte. Lewis Freel, VIM. Davis and
H. u. Hines. Each Of the dogs wac
awarded a tirst prize, there being no
cOmpetitition in their class. The
names of the exhibitors and ths num-

Had to Get Up.

Some years ago DR.. Oscar Blumen-
thai, the director of the Leasing theater
in Berlin, had an unpleasant experience
of the vigilance with which the author
tiles carry out their duties.
In his comedy, the Orient Reise,
one Of the characters was afflicted with
a mother-in-law of the most objection
able kind This lady died and, accord
ing to the belief of her relatives, went
to heaven. The prospect of fresh ac-
uuaintance with his dreaded mother-in-
law SO terrified her son-in-law that he
announced that, if this should be his
fate, "when the resurrection comes l
shan't get up.
This was sufficient for the authori-
ties. Twenty-four hours after the pro-
duction of the piece an ominous blue
envelope arrived at the Leasing theater
containing peremptory order from the
president of police that the lines in
question should be Immediately sup
pressed, "as being calculated to wound
the religious feelings of the lieges- -
