viii Hold Separate Dis
plays This Year

organizations has this year resulted in
a division of their forces into two dis
plays. Last year the societies COM
bned and produced a show second to
none west of Madison Square garden.
This year the holding of two distinct
shows will be a handicap to both,
though it is expected that many who
take part in the first show, which is
being held by the younger organiza-
tion, will enter the second one the
next week.
The show which opens Tuesday at
Chutes park will have for one of its
chief features magnificent entries. of
Rhode Island Reds and Orpingtons.
These two exhibits alone will embrace
are English fowls, while the Rhode
Island Reds hail from this country.
The relative merits of the Reds will be
passed upon by H. w. Gunston, a
Massachusetts man. Having been one
of a committee that revised the Rhode
Island Red standard Mr. Gunston will
be amply able to determine what fowls
are the prize winners.
EngIishmen Judge Orpingtons
For the Orpington entries three
Englishmen have been chosen judges.
They are w. M. Purdy, John Hartnoll
and Ralph B. Randall. These men
have judged the class in England and
can be depended upon to know what
is right in Orpington pens.
Arthur Let's, who is likewise a men,
Der of the Los Angeles County Poultry
association, will enter the largest num-
ber of birds ever exhibited in a Los
Angeles show. His interest in the
welfare of poultry in this section has
led him to import large numbers of
blooded birds from England and the
eastern states of this country. All
kinds of high class poultry abound at
his Holmby poultry farm. such as
geese, turkeys, peafowls, ducks and
chickens. Mr.. Let's has fine col
lection of Buff Orpingtons. His wife
is scarcely less enthusiastic and will
enter almost $50 birds.
Mrs. Anna L. Pinkerton, the owner
of flock of 5000 White Wyandottes,
will also enter a large flock of her
favorites. Mrs. Pinkerton's poultry
farm at Inglewood is not simply a
of 1900 eggs day and eggs at so cents
dozen the financial possibilities of
White Wyandottes cannot well be
overlooked. In addition to her work
with her chickens Mrs. Pinkerton is
widely known through her inventions
of incubators and poultry appliances.
The great American birds, the Wy
dIlQOIIGS, Will llOI Dc ISBleCItu dI Iue
coming show. Buff White, Golden,
Silver-laced, Silver-penciled, Black,
Columbian and Partridge Wyandottes
will occupy prominent places in the
show and will require the services of
a special judge. w. C. Ellison, Sec
retary of the National Buff Wyandotte
club of America, was honored with this
position and is now on his way from
Minnesota to take part in the coming
show.
SpeciaI Display of Bantams
No little interest will attach to the
display of bantams. This will be the
first year a special display of these
little dwarfs will be held, and it prom
ises to be a good one. Mrs. A. e.
Hanley, who owns the winners in the
Golden and Silver Seabright bantams
from the Madison Square garden show,
has brought her pets out to the Los
Angeles exhibit, where they will be
entered Black and White Rosecombs,
Cochin bantams, Bluettes, belonging
to DR.. G. l. Boyce, and Blue Anda-
lusians of w. H. Brown will be entered.
For many years the Los Angeles
poultry show has been a keen rival
Of the Oakland exhibit, but this, year
the northern city is out of the game
on account of the disaster of last April.
AS a result most of the national cups
for this state are being put up as prizes
at the Los Angeles show.
Up to the present time the silver
trophies of the National Buff Wyan-
dotte and White Wyandotte clubs of
America have come, as have the cups
of the National Columbian Wyandotte
club, the Blue Andalusian club and
the Rock Island Red club; the trophy
offered by the Bantam club of Amer
lea is also in the city.

association begins the Monday after
the younger organizations show closes.
