800 East Broad Street. 1t was intended
to open the show to the public at 10
O'Clock yesterday morning, and the doors
We're really opened and many people went
in to greet the Growing ROSTERS and
cackling hens. but because OF some I'M
forcseen difficulties Manager Stansbury
and his able and busy corps of assist
ants found It utterly impossible to get
everything in good exhibition shape until
late in the afternoon.
In the first place the management made
n mistake. though a natural enough one.
in selecting so small room for the
show. They were not to blame for this.
because they had to be guided by tho
information in hand at the time when 1t
on the question OF a building for the
show.
The information then before them in
dcated that the building No. 500 East
Broad was large enough to accommo-
date the show, and. therefore. that build
ing was engaged Later entries made the
exhibition much bigger thing than was
anticipated. and now when it Is too late
to get better quarters 1t Is found that
No. 900 is not nearly large enough How
ever, the management has done good
work in making the room meet the emer-
gency, and what Is lacking in space Is
made up in general attractiveneas. The
coops are little cramped but they are
we'll arranged and all the beautiful fowls
are shown, to good advantage.
List of Exhibitors.
Many people visited the show last
night and by the electric lights saw and
admired the magnificent specimens OF
Virginia raised fowls They found 1t n
show we'll worth seeing.
There are seventy-eight exhibitors, and
the fowls they have put in the coops
number something like 67o. OF course
there are more chickens than anything
else, and there are all kinds OF thorough
bred chickens. from the risky little ban
tam up to the gorgeous White Leghorn
and the strutting Black Minorca Then

has been somewhat delayed. The Judging

morrow.
