A Much Wanted Prize.

That there are tricks IN every trade
Is instanced by a discovery made at
the poultry show yesterday afternoon.

Mr. Gunter Of ogden, that started
heads waeging. The feather was all
right but II happened to have a tooth
pick stuck In the end and secured to
the quill by piece Of black silk This
looked suspicious. An examination OF
the bird was productive OF another dis
coyery one Of the tail feathers had
been cut on to allow Tor the insertion
OF the toothpick, and there was stu
piece Of black silk remaining where
the feather had been spliced. The de-
duction was that the cockerel had an
off. color feather in his tail and that his
owner had thoughtfully removed the
same and substituted beautiful piece
Of borrowed plumage when cllhcheu
the first prize.
So cleverly had the trick been done
that Judge Shellenbarger, who exam
lned the bird failed to notice It at the
time OF the award
This morning Roy Morton, who had
been awarded second prize was noti,
fed that a mistake had been made and
that he was entitled to the first prize
An effort was made by the News to
see Mr.. Gunter, to get his side OF the
story. nut he could not be located
The poultry show closes this evening
and already this morning some Of the
exhibits We're being removed.
The committee in charge OF the eX-
hibit report the show TO be the most
successful one held for several years,
