 TOWN HALL. An Kinds of Poultry, Pigeons and Cats -Pet RaceoOn Most Interesting EK- hibit-List of Those Awarded Prizes Yesterday . several out-Of-TOwn Winners. The west Haven Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock association opened its third annual exhibition at the town hall in West Haven yesterday afternoon, and during he afternoon and evening there was a good attendance. The show is an exceedingly good one this year and the affair will undoubtedly be great success. It would be difficult matter to give an adequate description of the various feathered tribes. but suffice 1t to say that about every kind of poultry and pigeons is shown that can be seen in New England. There are also number of very handsome pet cats. One of the most amusing and pleas tng features of the exhibition is pet raccoon exhibited by it's little mistress, Katie Leschke, of 122 Clark street, West Haven. The raccoon is one of the largest of it's kind ever seen here ana is as playful and harmless as kitten.,# It was the center of attraction to all visitors yesterday as it sat in its little cage playing with little toy horse. A most amusing thing is that whatever is given the animal to eat it always takes it in its paws and washes it in it's drinking water before it eats it. Its little owner captured it shortly after it was born while visiting near Torring- ton, this state, and since that time it has been great pet. Its two compan- ions at home of which it is very fond, are two little Maltese kittens. The committee in charge of the exhi- bition is a most efficient one, and it is doing all that is possible to make the show success. The show will be con- tinued to-day and tomorrow The following prizes were awarded yesterday:
