CHICKENS WILL
COME AGAIN
SHOWS SUCCESS MAKES CERTAIN
ANOTHER NEXT YEAR.
Larger Quarters VIII Have to Be Sc
cured-Old City Hall Overcrowded
This Year-Toodles Takes Cat
Prize-Other Awards in Cat Show
Show Closes Tonight.

The annual show of the Minnesota
Poultry association, which closes at
the old city hall at 10 o'clock to-
night, will, barring accident be reck-
oned by fanciers in all parts of the
west as one of the most successful
ever held in this territory.
The exhibits have been larger in
number and variety and better Fin
quality than ever before, the prizes
and more valuable, and the attend
ance has been greater than at either
of the previous shows. The success
of this years show has established it
as a permanent Minnesota institution.
Acting on this understanding, the
directors Of the association decided
last night to have another exhibit
next year and to retain the judges
who have acted for this show. The
necessity of securing larger quarters,
however, is upon them, as the old city
hall, with its three floors and twenty
two rooms, is far too small to ac-
commodate either exhibitors or Wis
itors. 1t is certain that the feature
Of this show-the Wallace Evans
aviary of Oak Park, Ill.-will be
brought on next year.
The closing hours of the show will
be marked by a general distribution
for entries made from outside of the
state, from the state outside of Hen
nepin and Ramsey counties and for
the exhibits from these two counties.
There will also be many drawings for
fowls and for the $25 Angora cat.
