WEST HAVEN POULTRY SHOW
LARGE NUMBER OF AWARDS
MADE LAST EVENING.

congIomeratton of Fowl Noises at Town
HaII-many Beautiful spscImens-The
Show Continues To-day and Fc-mor-
row.
The first annual exhibition of the
West Haven Poultry, Pigeon and Pet
Stock association opened in the town
hall yesterday and will continue
through to-day and tomorrow. There
have been entered 1000 specimens and
these include guinea pigs, jack rabbits,
Belgian hares, wild ducks, Angora rab-
bits, white Pekin ducks, fan tail pig
cons, black homing pigeons and va
riety of doves that are a charm to
the fancier and a delight to the be-
holder. The show last evening was
very literally patronized, the hall be-
ing resonant with the cackIing of the
fowl, the chirp of the guinea pigs and
the cav Of the ducks while the rabbits
huddled themselves in the corners of
their cages as if wondering what it all
meant. Hither and yonder exhibitors
were running with feed for their pets,
for at a poultry show nothing portends
the winning of prize so much as
we'll fed bird. The judges were David
Nichols of Mantle and c. A. Ballou
of Worcester, Mass. The committee in
charge Of the show were busy up to
closing time last night preparing the
list of ribbon winners. The announce
