The Pigeon Prizes.
Those who have visited the show, and
who are experts in the pigeon line, are
unanimous in stating that the aggrega ton
Of birds in the present exhibition is one of
the best that has ever been collected In this
part Of the country. In the jacobin and
pigmy pouter classes it is doubtful II the
collection has ever been exceiied here. All
the other classes, and they the legion, are
extremely well filled, and the result has
been one Of the most interesting sights
imaginable for those who take an interest
in feathered pets

1t was regretted by Mr.. E. c. Duffy, the
superintendent Of pigeons in the show, who
made almost a clean sweep with his pigmy
pouters at the recent Pan-American ex-
position, that he was unable to exhibit his
birds but as they were not in the proper
condition for show purposes, he refrained
from entering them. Mr.. Eichemeyer's cup
pigmy pouter, in pen No. &C., continues to
Mr.. C. Hugh Duffy's cup Jacobin pigeon.

1t was decided at meeting of the hoard
of directors of the association held lasr
night to reduce the admission for children
on Saturday to ten cents for all those under
fifteen years Of age. One of the gratifying
features Of the exhibition has been the in
terest OF the children in the show. and at
times the youngsters have far outnumbered
their elders in the hall. A number Of ins.i-
tutions have brought their children to view
free. es 9 4ss

One Of the sights fforothe children is am
old negro. Peter Williams, who acts as the
guardian OF the peace iApd safety Of the
spectators. Peters sbadee is numbered
4-11-44, and he wears assign on his tac,<
that reads, "Who said chicken" Peter IS
Of great assistance at times In CATCHING
such chickens as stray away frem their
coops, and he has never been known +o
fail when sent in pursuit of a runawav
There is said to beIa subtle charm about
Peter when he is catching chickens thai is
only expiainable by ehis 'fondness for .be
fowls. gee @e
A remarkable fact in connection with ,he
show Is that the entries are all of then ~
the same good condition fh.which they 1,ara
when they arrived. ifFThey have beer u,aiI
cared for and there is not the slightes4 In
uication that the birds have been cooned IN
