More than seven hundred birds are
entered in the different poultry classes
and the gallery of the hall is loaded
down with the displays of pigeons
from all parts of the northwest. The
largest exhibitors are from Kenosha
county, DR.. J. T. Hernsheim taking
the lead with the Kreuscher company,

Bros, of Kenosha, are third III the
point of numbers, and the famous pen

The work of Judging the fowls
started this morning. Judge Shaner
began with the American breeds, the
various classes including the Barred
Plymouth Rocks, White Plymouth
Rocks, Buff Plymouti Rocks, Silver
WYandottes, Golden Wyandottes,
White Wyandottes, Buff Wyandottes,
Buff Laced Wyandottes, Black Wyan-
dottes, Partridge Wyandottes, Black
Javas, Notified Javas, American Dom
iniques, Jersey Blues, and White Won
ders.
No report Of the result Of the iudg-
log will be given out until after every
fowl in the show has been judged, and
this will give all the exhibitors an
equal chance on the sale of the fowls.
The association has decided to con-
cede half pound in weight to ali the
birds entered in the weight classes.
The attendance of the show today has
been large and it is expected that the
attendance tonight will be even larger
than during the day. Many people of
the city have bought season tickets
and will attend the show daily.
A. B. Shaner, of Lanark, ILL.,, known
as the ''judge with the eagle eye,'' In
speaking of the display of poultry this
morning said:
''In my fifteen years experience in
the show room as Judge, and twenty
six years as breeder of fancy fowls,
will say that the poultry fanciers of
Kenosha are fine, up-to-date fellows.
Their birds are up-to-date, and the
coping of the birds at the show shows
great deal of taste. The coops and
equipment are of the most modern pat
tern. The management of the show is
exactly as fancier would desire it to
be managed. In word the Kenosha
Poultry Show is top notcher from
every standpoint"
