Judging of Fowls at Poultry
Show is Completed.
SOME HIGH SCORES SECURED
Ralph Whitney OF Stewartville Wiz:
the Silyetcup, and y. W. holman
Of Mankato the Tea Set.
From Saturdays Daily.

The show will continue all day tomor-
row. There are seventy-five exhibitors
of whom all but twenty come from other
towns, and these have gone to much ex-
pense to bring their choice fowls to
Mankato, and it is no more than right
that the people of the city should turn
out and patronize the show. The poul
try industry is one of the greatest in the
country, and some fine samples are to
be seen at the poultry show
Many sales have been made by exhib-
itors during the progress OF the show,
and they will take home fewer birds
than they brought. This is a splendid
chance for those who want to restock
their hen yards The birds sold thus far
have generally been the cheaper ones,
and those looking for something good
will still find the best birds at the show
for sale.
George d. Holden of Owatonna yes
terday completed the work of judging
the fowls. Many of the scores are well
up in the nineties. Ralph Whitney OF
Stewartville won the handsome silver
cup offered by Proctor & Gamble OF
Cincinnati, Ohio, for the best white fow.
exhibited. J. w. HOLMAN of this city
won the handsome silver tea set of
fered by The Free Press for the best
colored fowl exhibited. Mr.. Whitney
won with his white Wyandottes, and
Mr.. holman with his Cornish Indian
games. Y
1t is a fact that the Cornish Indian
games of Minnesota score the highest in
the country, and those exhibited at the
show in this city are splendid samples
of the breed.
