Make I'D your mind to pay % cents pound
this Thanksgiving for turkeys, better money
for the fine birds
This doleful prophecy. of particular interest to
the householder now that Thanksgiving proc
lamations are I'm the air, emanated from George
Wolf, of Seneca Falls. the owner of the fifty
pound beauty at the poultry show. But all
around the ring the same remark could be
heard.
Among the surprises of the Judging was the
defeat of William Cook & Sons 81. 200 prize
winning black imported Orpington. by a domestic
raised bird of the same strain owned by White
&. Goodacre. The former bird was somewhat off
feather when the Judge visited the pen. owing
to his having been Gagged since Friday in
rather small pen that battered his plumage- He
had never been beaten before and was considered
irvincible. His owners took no less than thirty
nine ribbons of one color or another for their
exhibits
A sporting feature introduced into the
show after the blue ribbon was awarded 10 the
Columbia Farm in the blue cock fantail class
by the action Of the Judge II. NJ. Pocknan. of
Jersey City. who offered $3.50 for the pretty
creatures as 1t stood. The offer was promptly
turned down. Also there was a furry of sports
to the per, OF the gold pheasants exhibited by
Mr. Crirnrnns Of Glenbreckin Farm. Noroton,
where fighting went tnter1nttently all the
morning The magnificert plurna ged birds eyi-
IDENTIFY felt their confinement, for their scrap
ping" became go serious that they had to be
separated finally.

dotte cocks; first. second and third with his

and the third prize with his cockerel OF the

cockere class Miss Foot, of Lakewood, n. J..
made a clean sweep with her pigeons in seve<al
classes, besides landing number of first and
second prizes for exhibition yards.
The attendance, which not large
the merits of the show warrant, will undoubt-
edIy increase to-day, when the cats will be in
their full glory. An event of interest at
o'clock this afternoon will be the testing of the
homer pigeons Louis Foster will send batch
to Providence. Carl Wind and Miss Eliza c.
Foot Will dispatch some to Philadelphia and
Miss Foot will also fly some to their Lakewood
home. The lberating Of the birds which have
records of from 800 to 1900 miles, Is causing
circle In the air for fully five minutes before
making up their minds to depart.
