SHOW WE'LL ARRANGED.

The management has been careful to ar
range the exhibit In such manner as to in
sure the comfort of the fowls and give
spectators an opportunity to inspect them
closely. A double row OF coons extends
down either wall and through the center
of the room are rows Of coops, forming
double aisle. The light is good and the
specimens show to good advantage The
association has provided it's own coops thus
preventing that advantage which sometimes
falls TO the man whose stock may not be as
good ms that Of another exhibitor, but be-
Ing placed Ia finer COops makes better

are liberal aud the competition Is close
The pigeons and pet stock are located
