A BIG SUCCESS
IN EVERY WAY
BEST OF ALL, THE POULTRY
SHOW PAYS.
Premiums Are Being Paid Up Prompt
ly, Something Which the Chicago
Show Failed to Do-Poultry Propa-
ganda Promoted by Daily Draw
ings.

Altho the poultry show in the old
city hall building has been open near
~ week, but one visitor has beeen
found who has found fault with it.
lie is a dyspeptic, who ran across a big
display of poultry food and his ali
mentary department set to throbbing
by the crystal grit, clam shell. oyster
shell. blood meat and ground bone.
But in spite of this one gentleman
dissatisfaction the general public is
SO crowding the rooms Of the exhibit
that, with the large attendance of
yesterday, the Minnesota Poultry as
ISOLATION Is sure to have all the ex-
now able to check out to premium
holders as fast as the awards are
made.
This is an unprecedented financial
condition and puts the Minnesota
show in a class with the Minnesota
state fair-the best there is. With the
possible exception Of the Toronto, Ont.
and the Hagerstown, Nd, shows, it is
not eXcelled in quality and size. In
the matter of prompt payment Of
premiums it is establishing a record
which might be followed at Chicago,
where, after thirty days, the poul-
try show premiums have not been
paid.
Every ticket holder is given the
privilege of depositing his or her name
for, drawing each day Of the show.
This is done with the hope that the
winner Of a pair Of chickens may be
some one who will thus become inter-
ested in chicken breeding. Yesterday
John L. Carr Of 1887 Seventh avenue S,
captured a pair Of Cornish games, and
Mrs. Eta Shumaker of 1887 Tenth
avenue S, q pair Of barred Plymouth
Rocks.
Tonight the drawings will result
r,y,t, Of Nf
bantams and pair Of pigeons for the
children, and four pairs of fowls for
the older people. Tomorrow night
several pairs Of fowl will be given
away, and one lucky person will get an
Angora cat valued at $25.
