the matter of getting around to the differ
ent exhibits quite a difficult problem. The
Washington people have doubtless realized
that the best time to get a good view of the
valuable birds and cats is during the morn
ing hours, and as consequence the turn
out this morning was remarkable. The Off
GERS of the two associations under whose
charge the present exhibition is given are
highly elated over the patronage extended.
Secretary George Howard, who is looking
after the business details. has a splendid
corps of assistants, and as result all the
prize lists of awards are issued in good
order and with dispatch.
The judges were hard at work this morn
ing completing the wards in the pigeon sec
ton of the exhibition
In the large side room devoted to the cat
exhibition another busy scene was presented,
as the judges were confronted with an I'M
usual array of high-class animals, and to
select the best was no easy job. At late
hour this afternoon the final awards were
completed, and the blue seals, denoting
the first prizes, were placed on the different
cages, the proud Tables inside appeared to
appreciate the honor
