THE LAST 'PLUCKING@ The last ostrich feather plucking of the season will take place this afternoon at the exhibition yards at the west end of the car line from 3 to , o'clock. Those who fail to see this interesting performance today will have no opportunity again till next winter. The summers here are so cold the birds can't part with any more feathers till autumn comes again. Either that or they dare not go naked for fear of sunburn. Blu, whatever the reason the fact remains that it will be the last plucking of the season.
