EXHIBITS
JUDGED

Tho excellence OF the poultry show In
progress at Infantry hall has been we'll
nolsed abroad. so that hundreds have
turned towards the popular South Main
street auditorium to know for themselves
tho looks or hens and roosters. ducks and
geese, cats and guinea-pigs that are be-
yond question the genuine articles.
The exceptional merit OF the display is
generously remarked by all who visit the
hall and IL In certain that the present ef-
fort ~ the association is its greatest sue
cess. The neatness and lack OF dis
order IL noteworthy and II Is creditable
that the exhibition. which TO the lay-mind
seems fraught with difficulties. is passing
of conspicuously unhampered, free from
Jarring conditions.
The awards have been practically all
made and visitors TO the show today and
tomorrow have the added advantage OF
viewing the winning exhibits in the many
departments. The inspection OF the judges
has served 10 show a gratifying general
Improvement In the quality of the dis
plays, especially In the departments de-
voted to cats and rare fowl.
Apropos OF the cat exhibition II seems
proper to note that. unlike the poultry,
the prize cats actually suffer in mental
comparison with the ordinary, mongrel-
bred eats OF the average homes. The
fancy pedgreed pussuies seem overawed
with sense of their importance and they
appear extremely lazy and unattraotively
delicate. 1t is a different matter with the
hens.
Last evening a little supper was served
at the hall TO which the various offi-
cials and a few bicden guests sat down.
1t was a very pleasant affair. because the
show has reflected so much credit upon
the association and its committees.
