Cochin with their friends and neigh
bors of the poultry world have estab-
1ished little rule over Kenosha today.
and for the next week the Growing of
the cock, the clucking of the pullet ard
the grooming of the dove will be a COM
mon noise in Kenosha.
It is the third annual exhibit of the
Kenosha County Poultry Association
and it promises to be the most success
ful display of chickens and pigeons
ever held in this section Of the state.
For the past three days the managers
of the show have been working mig ht
and day getting the hall in condition
for the big show and when the doors
were thrown open to the public this
morning everyone was satisfied that
the work had been well done.
There are three hundred and fifty
coops set up in the hall and everyone
of them is occupied with one or more
fowls. The entries were so far in ex-
cess of what had been expected that
the managers of the show found that
it would be necessary to double up the
birds and place two in coop.
The display from Kenosha is note
worthy one. The prevalence of the
Poultry Exhibit and the competition
among the chicken breeders has had
its effect upon the stock in the county
and this year the Kenosha county en-
tries rank the equal or better of any
brought to the show.
| There are more than two hundred
entries from Kenosha county, and
many new exhibitors are seen among
the list,
Up in the gallery Of the hall four
hundred little cages have been set up
for the use of the pigeons being dis
played, and the display is attracting a
great deal of attention from the visit
ors this afternoon. The pigeons repre-
sent every class known to the raisers
Of the doves, and in some cases rare
birds have been sent to the show.
The biggest feature of the show is
the display being made by Wallace
Evans Company of Oak Park, III.
This is display of wild fowls, and it
is certainly novelty. In the very
center of the hall great cage has
been set up, and in this cage the Evans
company has on display more than a
hundred pheasants, quail, prairie
chicken, snipe and plover. Added to
these wild fowl there is an abundance
of ma11ard and teal ducks. This feat
ure of the show alone is worth going
many miles to see.
The display of game cocks at the
show is noteworthy one, and the
cocks will be utilized for the enter
tainment of visitors Each evening
the management is planning to ar
range series of boxing matches be-
tween the prize winning games.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)
The second day of the third annual
show of the Kenosha County Poultry
Association drew another large crowd
to Simmons HALF this afternoon and
the fact that the prize ribbons are be-
ing hung on the coops is attracting
more attention than anything else.
The Judging of the poultry is we'll
under way and Judge Ellison will
probably complete his work this even
ing. Kenosha county exhibitors are
winning many prizes in all depart
ments and among the prize winners
many new names are seen. DR.. J. T.
Hernshein won the most prizes in the
pigeon departments and his prize win
ners from the Chicago and Milwaukee
shows swept everything before them
in several of the classes. Williamson
and Hess of Milwaukee also managed
to carry away share of the Awards.

for the remaining days Of the show
and they will be announced in the
papers from day to day. The awards
